— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) July 16, 2015-other than being formulaic, seemingly rushed, and generic, critics have started to come for antman's use of racial stereotypes
-rudd's character has two fellow crook friends who are the POC of the film (TI and michael pena) and they provide comic relief for the film
VF review states "at times it seems that the only thing funny about them is that they’re not white."
-says there's an "ugly current of racial humor" throughout the film because of these two
some select tweets by viewers:
Ant Man was one of the most racist movies I've seen. Plus had no real substance. Marvel I'm disappointed. #donotgo

Ant-Man managed to be the worst written, horribly stereotyped, most racist film I've seen in a *very* long time. Well done MARVEL.
