Not enough people talk about this movie after the initial reviews since there is no consequences for the MCU in the future. Thank you for talking about it. It is a masterpiece.

The respective vegetable joke also highlights the world-building of each movie's. The Carrot appeared in the OrgoCorp, a company that dealt in bioengineering. A human-carrot hybrid isn't out of place. Why is there a half-man, half-broccoli down at the Quantum Realm? What does that speak of the setting? It's just weird for weird's sake.

Finally, someone acknowledges this issue and analyzes it intelligently.

really well explained and edited video, found your channel recently and i've been enjoying your content

I see some comments who feels "offended" by the video so to be clear : To see a media through critical eyes is not about insulting anyone. You can love an objectively bad movie, it's okay and nobody has the right to insult you. But it doesn't mean it shouldn't be analyse and to show how much further you can bring the experience to enhance immersion and storytelling. Theses movies takes years to make and a lot of them of are made on "auto-pilot" mode with Disney only care for them to be "good enough" experiences. That's why a lot of recent Disney movies looks more like TV shows and not as much as cinematic film ( the part about shot design express that really well). There's indeed a part of subjectivity in the way you receive a media. But to make a movie requires craftsmanship and a lot of learning and work through each day of production. You can enjoy a movie and not think a lot about it. But every minute of a movie like that cost around half million dollars and engage at least hundreds of hard working people, who execute the decisions made by the director/ productor and creative teams during pre-production ( which in recent Disney movies are mostly rushed to save time and release movies really fast) . You can love all the recent MCU films, it's OK. But on an objective point of view, the production design and directing of Guardians 3 is at next level and shows a lot of care and attentions of details and environnemental story telling. Which is the subject of this video, it's not all about subjectivity but about how dedicated people in a good environnement can make greater work that benefits all.

I love the way you give so much efforts in your videos.. starting from script to the video editing and the sound sound design and even the memes.. just magnificent ❤

Great video. This just shows what a mastermind James Gunn is. Excited for his version of DCU!

'THERE IS NO GOD! THAT'S WHY I STEPPED IN!" One of the greatest lines I have ever heard from a villain.

It looked so well made in terms of production design and sets

I really do feel that A&W Quantumania would be a better movie if it wasnt directed by Peyton Reed. Even with its script I feel like if James Gunn or Ryan Coogler directed it, it would be a better movie. Peyton Reed has a very simple and bland directing style compared to his collegues in my opinion.

I mean, James Gunn is a much better director than Peyton Reed. I like them both, especially Reed's Bring It On and Down with Love, but Gunn has the better filmography.

What a great video, all your videos so interesting and informative.

This just goes to show what a difference a great and creative director like James Gunn can make on a project. Compare that to a run of the kill hack like Peyton Reed. He probably didn't know or care whether Ant Man 3 looked crap.

This is some great material, and you put it together with exceptional professionalism. I can't tell if those shots of you are great because you have a really compelling face (Alan Tudyk meets Javier Bardem, that's a good subject for the camera) or because you lit the shot really nicely. Either way, well done. Very slick work. Anyway, I think this video zeros in on the key problem with the MCU, as well as those studios (which I shall not name *coughWarner*cough*) that are trying to recreate the MCU's magic. They want to make movies, but they see telling stories about characters as a necessary chore to making them. Worse yet, they seem to see making movies as a necessary chore to building franchise brands. When you watch Quantumania, it's clear everyone is being a professional, but no one is passionate about the film they're making. Least of all, Peyton Reed. This is a movie made by a director to a studio's specifications. It's exactly what the studio asked for. But it's nothing more. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 shares a lot of the same problems as Quantumania. As the third of a trilogy that's part of a larger shared universe, both films are burdened with the unenviable job of having to tie off dozens of dangling plot threads from previous films. And both films strain to integrate them all. The end of GotG 2 suggested that Adam would be the main villain of GotG 2, yet here, he seems little more than a footnote, handy to get the plot rolling, but not fully integrated into the story. He ends as a barely relevant B-plot, which could have been easily cut from the film without losing anything. Both films introduce exotic communities that we barely have a chance to get to know before they're destroyed and basically forgotten by the protagonists. They seem more like the outline for an 8-episode series condensed down into a two-hour film, leaving us feeling like the strange, quirky places the story takes us are little more than background. And yet, GotG3 doesn't feel like a story made as an excuse for a movie, that's just an excuse for a brand. It doesn't simply feel directed, it feels authored. Its story has real conviction, real beliefs that it's trying to convey. While the themes of Quantumania, earnest as they seem, feel inserted. As with everything else, the emotional themes feel like an excuse for the story, rather than the heart of it. It's all built backward. GotG 3 gets to the heart of characters it's been building over 3 movies. I came out of the first film not particularly thrilled to follow the adventures of a selfish man-child screw-up who's made the de-facto leader of a superhero team simply because he's the blond guy named Chris. Gamora seemed like the far more sensible choice for leader, if the team even needed a leader (this still bugs me about the films.) But as the series progressed, it became clear how personal and sincere this sarcastic sass-fest of a film series really is. That's why I watch these films, not for the spectacle, but for the heart. And when the heart is sort of stuck on as a half-baked excuse for the whole thing to exist, it's not enough. Nevermind the use of the Volume rather than real sets, nevermind the muddy CGI backgrounds in lieu of tangible settings with real, individual character. Nevermind the repeated head-and-shoulders shots of characters just conveying exposition. All those problems are just symptoms of the larger problem that the whole thing doesn't have enough of a heart. GotG 3 works because every creative choice comes from the central point it's making, an emotional expression that everyone involved is getting behind. It's funny, it's weird, and sometimes, it's kinda half-assed. But it all works, because the theme it serves is sincere, not tacked on. Few films can claim to be perfect. But perfection doesn't matter. It's the film's emotional meaning that carries it, not its lack of problems. If the film's meaning is tacked on, like Quantumania, that's not enough to make up for the flaws. But if the emotional meaning sits at the heart of the film, each character arc, each detail, then the flaws don't really matter.

I’ve got no love for Quantumania, but the comparison at 2:30 straight up doesn’t make sense. The car scene in Quantumania has nothing to do with “a utopian society that’s not what it seems”. It’s about establishing where Scott and Cassie’s relationship is through an argument. Kinda need to have them talk in order to do that. Good video otherwise, but that’s a really poorly made point.

Yes, yes, and YES! I hate the CGI universe. It's like I'm watching Roger Rabbit, but I'm supposed to pretend that it's real versus the narrative recognizing we're in a cartoon world. However, I disagree about the latest Guardians as I thought it still suffered from similar problems, but respect your opinion.

The Star Wars shows I wouldn’t put in the same category of “garbage” as some of the Marvel shows. They’re either great or just meh.

What is this video? How can it be so off the mark? Like, Quantumania isn't perfect, and it's nowhere near as good as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but the problems in Quantumania wouldn't have been fixed if the Quantum Realm looked more like Earth. Quantumania was about Scott Lang getting sucked into a strange alien world and being overwhelmed with a problem much, much bigger than him. Making the world less strange and alien and more manageable would have lessened the impact. And it's not like this is some subtle thing. Counter Earth was an in-universe direct imitation of Earth. It's not like they were trying to make a strange, alien world, and it just happened to look like Earth, but with animal people. If anything, the Quantum Realm needed to be even bigger and stranger.

I think you might be the one off the mark. Running the visuals wild and crazy to depict an alien environment makes sense, but it shouldn't come at the cost of immersion. That is the goal. Shots of the Quantum Realm never feel beyond just a volume stage. Because digital effects are going to come in to do the heavy-lifting, the conditions were set to neutral and monotone. Instead of wild and crazy, they look flat. The world's only going feel strange and big if it's immersive. Then, there's also the fact the studio abusing the VFX artists. And in regards to the world-building, was it even truly wild and crazy? The population of the Realm are either humans with light make-up or CGI beings. At least the Alternate Earth had an excuse of looking like Earth and the make-ups were far more convincing. I do have a pitch to make the Quantum Realm more strange and big. Ditch the civilization. Make it in the veins of 'The Fantastic Voyage' and let the abstract world be the antagonist. Well, aside from Kang himself.

He was more referring to its 3rd season, which (as someone that wanted to like it) was disappointing. But it was to be expected, since Disney (seemingly) forced Grogu back into the arms of Mando so their money machine wouldn't be gone next season. That, along with other outside factors, made the writing have to work around it.

Why wasn't Infinity War or Endgame "cinematic"? Who gets to decide what that term means? A lot of people saw Far From Home as 'cinematic". Art is very subjective and this kind of talk comes off very snobbish. So if someone liked Quantumania are you calling them dumb or saying they have bad taste? Why is your taste more valid then theirs? Film criticism as well as any artistic analysis is based on opinion, not fact.

@@ThePrinceofHisOwnKingdom I think a person trying to fellate James Gunn by comparing his last MCU movie to Ant Man 3: the road to hell, is pretentious. Because the problems of Ant Man that he talks about - that are a real thing - are there in GOTGTres What point is there to them showing Knowhere? They don't stay there and there's no point to it. What point is there for the cutsey scenes with Rocket? They've already endeared us with his backstory. I could sit here and list off a thousand and one different things that are wrong with GOTGTres and have you never actually listen so I'm going to dare you to do something that will change your view of his movies. Re-Watch Guardians 1 and whenever a song track comes on, mute it and wait until its over. Then ask yourself is the emotion in the scene still? It won't be because 90% of James Gunn's work is through clever use of music to trick you into thinking something is going on when there's NO DIALOGUE in the scene or things happening. Your brain associates emotion with the expressive vocals in the song and the exceptional musical chords played and links them to characters who aren't doing anything. The man is a competent film maker but he's not someone to hold up as genius, Gunn is just skilled at making music videos.
