Big Hero 6 Review

Big Hero 6 is great! There's an excellent blend of drama and comedy to it. The humor balances out the emotional loss prevalent in the film. Like the first Iron Man movie, you get to see the trial and error of invention and creation, which is very nice to see. Despite having fantastic science, it documents the tribulations and hard work that go into creation.

My favorite character is Honey Lemon for the obvious reason (science girl with glasses). I liked pretty much the entire cast, though. Wasabi is probably who I resemble the most, thanks to his OCD traits. The shout outs to Japanese giant robot films was great. I especially love how they acknowledge Mazinger Z, which they take inspiration from.

A favorite small scene from Big Hero 6 was Gogo explaining her idea on electromagnetic suspension. When dad and I were brainstorming box car ideas back in the day, using magnets as suspension to reduce friction was something we thought of. So that was fun to see.

I would love to see Disney create a "kid friendly" MCU with Big Hero 6 at the core. Runaways and a version of Young Avengers / Avengers Academy would work very well with this group. It would be a great chance for them to expand on Marvel properties that probably don't mesh with the plans for the MCU.
