The [officially released Ant-Man Teaser Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQjhJf1R4k4) is only ant sized with a promise of a human sized trailer to air during the first episode of _Agent Carter_ this Tuesday. Of course, it didn’t take long to find that [the human sized version is also available](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3G70LvM0IQ). I don’t have many thoughts to share- it really is one of those teaser trailers that is very little more than just a tease. Intense and dramatic though, seems they’re not at all worried about asking the movie going public to take an Ant-Man movie seriously. (Either way, I am really looking forward to _Agent Carter_!) ---

Isn’t that the teaser for the trailer? There is a fuller trailer coming Tuesday, right? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > Isn’t that the teaser for the trailer? There is a fuller trailer coming Tuesday, right? Yes. The “Ant-Sized” teaser was a joke preceding the actual teaser which is preceding the actual trailer that will be part of Agent Carter’s premiere on Tuesday. ---

For some reason, I assumed “ant sized” means they released it with a resolution of 32x24 or something. ---

OK, I know it’s only a teaser, but that shows no indication whatsoever of anyone changing size. It’d be impossible to even guess that it was for Ant-Man if they didn’t put the words on the screen. And has hype really gotten to the point that we have a gimmick for an ad for another ad? ---

Huh, for some reason I was way off, didn’t even click the first link. I thought for some reason “ant-sized” referred to the trailer’s brevity, with a longer version to play during the Agent Carter episode. I’m all kinds of screwed up lately. Good thing I’m not married. ---

I remember when Aqua Teen Hunger Force released a theatrical movie, Adult Swim did a Marathon on TV before it was released but played the entire movie in a tiny little square in the corner of the screen. ---
