Two days until I see “Infinity War,” two more MCU movies to rewatch so I can complete my personal pre-IW ranking. Does anyone else care? Possibly not, but it’s something I set out to do and now I’m feeling a strange compulsion about it.

That is why I am now rewatching “Ant-Man.” It’s probably the least stressful Marvel movie.

I appreciate the Bay Area location shots… but I’m sure none of the characters can afford to live where they’re supposed to be living.

Hey, I caught that little shout-out to “Tales to Astonish.”

Holy shit, Darren Cross just turned a guy into a blob of fleshy goo. That’s really dark. This movie was supposed to be the non-stressful one…

I’m pretty sure individual ants aren’t smart enough to be instructed the way Hank Pym et al. supposedly do.

If the suit works by shrinking the distance *between* atoms, how could someone “go subatomic”? Or does it also shrink the distance between the subatomic particles of your atoms?

I appreciate the humor in Luis whistling “It’s a Small World After All” while posing as a security guard.

“This is not who you are, it’s the particles altering your brain chemistry”? How is that supposed to work? Is that why Pym won’t use the suit anymore? And why is Scott not going nuts?

Omg, I just realized why it’s so funny that the horn on Luis’s van plays “La Cucaracha.”

Because I have only 4 days until I see “Infinity War,” I’m prioritizing by rewatching “Doctor Strange” first and I’ll come back around to “Ant-Man” and “Civil War” if I have time.

I’m already confused and slightly nauseated by the spinning buildings… though that might also be residual hangover.

There are all these little allusions to time: rebuking the other doctor for calling the wrong time of death for a patient, telling him to cover his watch so the noise wouldn’t distract him during surgery, his collection of fancy watches…

I’m not sure I remembered that the first candidate patient he turns down as “boring” while talking to someone on the phone in the car was Rhodey.

Wtf is a Sling Ring, anyway? I get that the Infinity Stones and all the other various macguffins in the MCU are inherently ridiculous, but macguffins are just so thick on the ground in “Doctor Strange” that it makes the ridiculousness even more apparent.

What bothered me about this movie the first time was that there seemed to be no rules about what was and wasn’t affected by turning back time. Maybe practitioners of the mystic arts can resist it if they know what’s going on…? Because somehow they can sense that a time-reversal spell is happening?

Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character strongly reminds me of his Operative character in “Serenity.”
