![]() While this is a reboot of the animated series of the same name, the real inspiration appears to be Who Framed Roger Rabbit, as the new Rescue Rangers is set in a world where animated characters and humans co-exist. ![]() Thirty years after Rescue Rangers ended, Chip (voiced by John Mulaney) and Dale (voiced by Andy Samberg) once again team up after a member of the original series goes missing. Director Peyton Reed perfectly utilizes Ant-Man's shrinking and growing powers to create some of the most awe-inspiring and hilarious battle sequences in the entire superhero genre. ![]() But what really makes this possibly the most underrated film in the MCU catalog is the special effects. Rudd obviously brings his unmatched charm to the role, and the rest of the cast is every bit as great, especially Michael Peña as Luis, Lang's fast-talking former cellmate. ![]() Instead, we just get to enjoy watching Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), a cat burglar with a heart of gold, accidentally end up becoming a superhero after swiping the Ant-Man suit, which allows him to shrink and grow at will. But his mid-tier status in the MCU actually benefits the Ant-Man movies, which don't feel as if they exist mostly to move the larger narrative forward. Ant-Man is not the most important member of the Avengers, and when it comes to saving the universe from Thanos's unique form of population control, he's mostly delegated to the B team (until he coincidentally ends up in the quantum realm exactly when "the Snap" occurs).
