Cornetto trilogy movies are written and directed by Edgar Wright.
Edgar Wright wrote Ant-Man, but got fired because Marvel thought the project was getting
weird, which doesn’t make any sense because they let Shane Black get weird as hell with
Iron Man 3.Cornetto trilogy movies take place outside the U.S. so you rarely see some of
the stereotypes made famous by Hollywood when it comes to other races, but as soon as Marvel
gets their hands on one of his screenplays they cast black people in the worst roles
you could find.
Although the main characters aren’t always the best role models, Cornetto trilogy movie
main characters have never been convicted of a felony.
Shaun’s shirt may be dirty, but his record’s clean, Nick puts other people behind bars
not himself, and Gary almost got arrested, but he left the scene of the crime and let
his best friend take the blame.
Ant-Man was sent to prison and he visits jail on a regular basis.
It makes sense because you are you hang out with.
All of Ant-Man’s friends try their hardest to convince him to take shortcuts in life
and just steal from people.
In the other Edgar Wright movies, there’s always at least one voice of reason in the
group.
Liz is the moral compass in Shaun of the Dead, everyone, but Gary are the voice of reason
in the World’s End, and Nicholas is the angel (pun intended) in Hot Fuzz.
Cornetto trilogy movies have a an ice cream reference, but the cornetto brand is an inside
joke to the audience and the Baskin & Robins is a joke nobody understands.
They just squeezed it in there for product placement.
Speaking of the cornetto ice cream, Cornetto trilogy movies are a stand alone film that’s
part of a bigger cinematic universe.
All though the actors play different characters each time, all of these movies are part of
the cornetto trilogy universe, but you’re not constantly reminded because the writing
and storyline are good enough to have the films stand on their own.
Ant-Man is part of the MCU franchise and since the story is sort of generic at times, they
keep reminding you that it’s part of the Marvel cinematic universe to get you to like
it more.
Cornetto trilogy movies has a main character that DJs and has great taste in entertainment.
Shaun has great taste in music and we get a chance to check out his playlist in this
scene.
Gary has everyone in the car bobbing their heads when he puts on his mix and even though
it’s DVDs and not music, Butterman picks the movies for movie night and all of his
films are critically acclaimed masterpieces.
Scott’s taste in music sucks and he has to rely on the DJ to get the party hype.
Cornetto trilogy movies has a wooden gate scene.
The character is supposed to get from one side of the fence to the other in a way that
tells you all about his characteristics without saying a word.
Shaun is prideful and his fence scene represent pride comes before the fall.
Nick is makes it over not just one, but multiple fences because he’s an overachiever and
Gary, the alcoholic, stumbles over his fences like he’s stumbling through his life.
Scott makes it over the fence, but he gets caught by the police which is inconsistent
with the sly, intelligent cat burglar character he’s supposed to be portraying.
The last names of these characters also tell you more about their characters.
Nick’s last name is Angel because he thinks he can do no wrong.
Gary’s last name is King and that’s why he thinks he can boss his friends around and
from Shaun’s DJ poster we learn his last name is Riley which makes perfect sense because
he doesn’t worry about anything and has a carefree existence.
Ant-Man’s last name is just Lang which doesn’t mean anything.
Age ain’t nothin’ but a number in Cornetto trilogy movies.
The older you are the more dangerous you are.
All of the senior citizens in these films pose a threat to the main characters and are
a force to be reckoned with.
In the World’s End, Gary is the oldest one in his clique and the group nominates him
as the leader because of his wisdom and courage.
In Ant-man we’re taught that old people suck.
Pym got fired because he was too old to work their and when he punched Darren, it makes
it seem like the old man is no threat to anyone.
The people in Edgar Wright movies are supposed are harder workers and never get fired.
Gary never had a job, but all of his buddies do and they’re good at what they do so they
never get fired.
Shaun hates his job, but he’s temporarily promoted to temporary manager.
Nick singlehandedly lowers the crime rate in the cities he patrols, but in Ant-Man he
sucked at his job when he got fired from Vista Corp and he sucked at his job at Dairy Queen
and got fired there too.
You’re supposed to feel sorry for the main character in Cornetto trilogy movies because
he’s always having girl problems.
Shaun gets dumped for forgetting to set the reservation on his and his girlfriend’s
anniversary.
Nick gets dumped by his girlfriend for being married to his job.
She leaves him for her coworker (audio).
Gary slept with Sam when she was younger, but when they’re older she tells him she’s
not interested and was always interested in Steven.
You don’t feel sorry for Scott Lang because he actually gets the girl so you feel sorry
for Hope instead.
Ladies if I told you that I wanted to hook you up with my friend.
He’s a really nice guy, but the only thing is he just got out of prison, is a couple
of years behind on child support payments, and he steals from old people for a living,
would you be interested in starting a relationship with the guy?
Exactly.
Cornetto trilogy movies have characters who show a great deal of respect to mothers.
Shaun is a momma’s boy and gets his mother flowers.
All of the guys are ready to beatdown Gary when they find out he lied about his mother
dying and with Nick (audio) he’s a gentleman and makes way for the mothers during the chase.
In Ant-man Scott doesn’t pay child support because he doesn’t care about this mom and
Pym didn’t care about Hope’s mom which is why he let her go on that suicide mission.
The father figures in these movies are misunderstood, but one thing’s for sure, they respect and
love their children.
Pete’s dad loves him so much they run a father and son business.
Shaun’s step dad is hard at times but you could tell he loves his stepson.
Phillip, Shaun’s step dad was always hard on him as a kid (audio of he touched me),
however, there was a method to his madness and him and Shaun share a heart to heart in
the car before he dies when he tells Shaun he just wanted him to the best he could be.
Butterman’s father is a murderer, but he’s not a deadbeat dad.
So much so, that when his son has the opportunity to kill him, he changes his mind because you’re
not supposed to shoot strong father figures in the back.
Ant-man is a bad role model and doesn’t take care of his children and the step father
is even worse and can’t mind his own business.
He tries to replace Lang and won’t let him see his daughter and when that doesn’t work
he hates on Ant-Man and tries to put him behind bars.
Everyone always says that Marvel has a villain problem.
One reason is because they’re villains are politer than Mr. Rogers.
Instead of being a man and standing up to Pym and his daughter, Darren works in secret.
That never happens in these Edgar Wright movies because the villains are about that life and
they want you to know they’re bad and there’s nothing you could do to stop them.
Shaun’s mom gets bit and she wishes somebody would be stupid and stand up to her.
Guy Sheperd tells the good guys that he’s evil early in the movie because he’s confident
they’re still not going to be able to escape and the bad guy in the Hot Fuzz snitches on
himself within the first 15 minutes (audio).
The villains in Edgar Wright movies are always tougher because it’s an army and you’re
not really sure if everyone is going to make it out alive.
The villain in Ant-Man sucked and got killed by science.
In Edgar Wright movies, people are way more polite.
When they hit you with a car, they stop to check if you’re okay.
When they hit you with a vehicle in Ant-Man, it’s on purpose and they’re trying to
kill you.
T.I. and the crazy guy from The Dark Knight are bad actors in Ant-man and so is the villain.
There’s bad acting in the other Edgar Wright movies, but it’s part of the joke.
The girl from the play only got the job because she’s sleeping with the director so it’s
supposed to be funny and it is.
The guys are supposed to be acting natural, but they’re acting is horrible because they’re
scared and it’s funny and the bad actress teaches everyone how to act like a zombie,
but they all suck because the teacher is a bad actress so it’s funny.
In these Edgar Wright movies, the characters live on the wild side and no protective head
gear is ever used to protect them from danger.
Pym and Lang aren’t about that life and Pym warns Lang to always wear a helmet (audio).
The authorities in Edgar Wrights movies are usually really lenient and let you get away
with a lot more stuff.
The soldiers shoot up the bar, but they let the rest of the zombies live and contribute
to society.
Other than Nick, the cops in Hot Fuzz let you get away with anything and with no brake
lights and no license, the cop in The World’s End lefts the boys off the hook.
Cornetto trilogy movies have a foreshadowing scene the warns you of what’s to come.
Ed tells Shaun plans for their day tomorrow and it’s basically a play by play of everything
that will happen in the movie.
The detectives tell Nick that everybody and their mums is packing round here and that
turns out to be true by the end of the movie.
In the World’s End, the opening narration dialogue foreshadows the rest of the events
in the movie since the film is a rehash of the opening narration and the names of the
pubs foreshadows the events that will take place in that pub.
In Ant-Man they foreshadow too, but it’s lazier and the post Wasp outfit just foreshadows
that she’ll be suited up in the sequel.
Woman always have a stronger roles and are more integral to saving the day in these Edgar
Wright movies.
Yvonne arrives with the soldiers to save Shaun and his girlfriend at the end.
In Hot Fuzz when Inspector Butterman makes a run for it a helicopter arrives and it’s
Doris that’s the one that puts him away for good and in The World’s End, Sam is
the getaway driver that saves the rest of the guys at the end.
In Ant-Man Hope’s dad doesn’t even trust her enough to wear the costume.
The one time she has a chance to prove herself during the Mexican standoff, she takes her
gun off of Daren and lets him shoot her father.
The bad guy never dies in these Edgar Wright movies.
Instead, they always find a way to coexist.
The villains in Shaun of the dead become functioning members of society and Shaun’s best friend
even becomes his pet technically.
The bad guys in Hot Fuzz are sent to prison and the although humans are extremely prejudice
against blanks, they still find a way to coexist.
(Can’t we all just get along audio).
Not in this movie.
At the end of all the Edgar Wright movies, it shows a flash forward where you find out
what happens a year or so later.
You have to wait for the sequel to find out what happens in Ant-Man.
So truth or dare, like and share, leave a comment under there, if you don’t that’s
not fair, this thing took a week to prepare, but I’m not a rapper though.
