Nostalgia grips me and leads me astray

And more precisely, in a prison where a certain Scott Lang is fighting with his fellow inmates... because that's how in this prison, when you're a bit of an idiot, you celebrate your last day of being a slob. Scott Lang has just served his sentence for theft and other unsavory activities, and is therefore released. The opportunity to meet his best friend, Luis, on the way out.
Describe Luis to you? Of course, at your service. So, let's see... he's Mexican, stupid, has questionable facial hair, a rotten pickup truck he's very proud of and whose horn plays the Cucaracha. And his job is thief. If you have a Social Justice Warrior next to you, don't hesitate to read the previous description aloud to him: logically, he should instantly catch fire, which will allow you, this season, to start your barbecue in a way that is as original as it is fun.
A shot this big reminds me of the version of Who's Who? that I customized and that was my industry email list childhood. I still remember the final game.
My parents, who had heard everything, came in at that precise moment and threw the game away on the spot. Damn, just as I was about to give my answer: I was sure it was Patrick Balkany!
But let us return to our hero.
So Scott is going to stay with Luis for a while. Luis would like his friend to help him start his daring burglaries again, but Scott is very clear: he's hung up. Now, he wants an honest job, and to stay out of trouble, despite Luis bringing home thieves, hackers, and other thieves in order to plan future heists. However, things can't be said to be going poor Scott's way: he can't find a job, his past as a thief making potential employers not want him, a little afraid of having his cash register robbed, or even his underwear robbed in the middle of the night.
However, Scott wasn't into underwear (well, yes, when he was younger, well, raaah, you're confusing me, stop it right now!). He was a Robin Hood-style thief! He robbed the company he worked for, which was ripping off its customers, and returned the money to the victims of the scams. Ah, a man with a big heart, but a loser... again, how far we are from clichés! And you know what? He's divorced (ho!), his ex-wife despises him (ha!), his ex-wife's new partner even more (wow!) and he has a daughter who obviously loves her dad very much and hopes for his return. So much originality I... luckily just before the film, they showed the trailer for the French film " Our Futures ". In which a guy finds himself in the middle of an existential crisis and decides to go on a road trip to meet up with old friends and... no, seriously. After that, I was ready to listen to the clichés in peace.
