Being the Irredeemable Ant-man rather undermines his position viz a viz a redemption story.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!The leaked Comic-Con footage from a while ago. I wonder if Marvel will ever officially release it.
Marvel probably doesn't want to dwell on that now. I am super hopeful for a really good trailer that will better show off the film's strengths. That footage sells what Ant Man can do very well.

Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectThe Irredeemable Ant-Man was a different Ant-Man entirely - who actually was irredeemable, not because of mega-evilness but because he was just a completely and unrepentant dick with no intention or desire to redeem himself.
Scott Lang started out a crook but he was very much redeemable.
"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."I didn't follow him very closely, but I was under the impression the "Irredeemable" Ant-Man actually did stop being so much of a dick over time.
I can't really remember all that clearly but from memory he went from jerk with heart of jerk to jerk with a heart with a teeny tiny smidgen of very tarnished gold way, way, WAY deep down. So I guess not totally irredeemable but much less sympathetic than Scott Lang, the MCU Ant-Man.
Ironically enough poor old Hank Pym, the original and still the best Ant-Man, seems to be treated as irredeemable for his moment of madness (literally, he was in the middle of a literal breakdown) slapping Jan ONCE. When the whole point was that was something wildly out of character and never done before or since. Now he's got a Dr Light style reinvention as Slap-Man The Abusive despite all his achievements.
"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."I blame Ultimate Hank Pym.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.Fixed that for you.
I never followed that series closely, but wasn't him a generally nice guy in Secret Avengers? I agree he is considerably less sympathetic than Scott Lang, though. But Lang is an awesome guy all around.
He got less awful in Secret Avengers and ended up pulling a Heroic Sacrifice.
