Another full circle moment that Quantumania brings to the trilogy is the inclusion of Kang being the main antagonist in the first place. Kang says to Scott that he's "Just a man." then Cassie reiterates in her speech that Kang's "not invincible" that's important because in the first Ant-Man film Hank says, " In the right hands the relationship between man and suit is symbiotic; the suit has the power the man harnesses that power." Both Scott and Kang are just men with suits that have incredible power. But Scott defeats Kang by harnessing the strength of man and not his suit. It's a small detail, but it goes a long way.

In the quantum realm, Kang is nowhere near as powerful as he could be. He is restrained by tech issues. The ants were not just bigger, they were evolved and had higher intelligence. This story was to prove that he was a threat, not the Prime Kang or the He who remains (yet/ever). Great movie, but it's bad use of Modok was the only black eye that I had.

I honestly loved this movie. The message to me was it was taking the smallest avenger and proving why he deserves to be an Avenger. Showing how for all of Scott’s life everyone underestimated him or expected him to fail, but here he is taking on an avengers level threat with his family by his side. I loved that message and I walked in without expecting Scott to die at the hands of kang. I don’t think the movie was bad. I think people were glued to their expectations and bashed this movie when their expectations weren’t met.

"I walked in without expecting Scott to die at the hands of kang. I don’t think the movie was bad. I think people were glued to their expectations and bashed this movie when their expectations weren’t met." So much this. I wasn't expecting Scott to die (I don't go in to a solo superhero movie expecting the title character to die, that's just not how the genre works; heroes die in Crisis Crossovers, not solo movies), and I thought it was a great movie. Low bar I'm setting, but it's probably my favorite post-Endgame MCU movie.

I love the ants arc in these three movies!!! The first one they're basically slaves, the second, one gets big and becomes part of the family and helps Scott not get caught by Jimmy woo, then in the 3rd one all these interactions and their new head gear their intellect gets higher, then they go through thousands of years of evolution create a civilisation and all work together to help the ant family. It's actually really emosh if you think about it, inspite of the time they've been creating their civilisation as soon as they could went to help save the antfam, they still remembered or had past down the knowledge of their human family that got them there and still had that connection to hank, also they're all huge intelligent armoured and able to lift 100x times their own weight and there's thousands so...kang who in my opinion 🐜

One of the reasons I like Quantuamnia so much is because I called Darren Cross becoming MODOK and being the secondary antagonist in the film. I also had to be one of 10 people on Earth that knew Ant-Man wasn't going to die in it. I knew there was no way Marvel was going to kill the MVP of the Infinity Saga in his third film outing, they pulled the same trick with Iron Man's burning broken helmet in the trailers for Iron Man 3.

Wait why did people "hate" it? It was a good fun movie like all AntMan movies are

I was actually surprised that even though the surrounding were other worldly it still felt like an Ant Man film with all the heart and humor that I love. Totally underrated

I appreciate you for trying your best to keep everyone invested in the MCU but idk …..

They should’ve had kang look stronger in the end fight, and yes I get it the ants were super evolved very fast hence why they beat him. Still doesn’t sit right with me how they just killed him off. He got sucked into the engine core (which should’ve led to a future story down the line) maybe he becomes the beyonder or somehow is able to exit the core which would’ve gave him even more power.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. The CGI is iffy in places certainly, but the visuals, the imagination behind them and all the points you make in favor of the film rang true with me as well.

One big failing as an Ant-Man film (besides Wasp having nothing to do) is the loss of connectivity to his own other "little guys", his X-Con crew. Yeah, they had MODOK and I'm ok with how they incorporated that. But to really close the trilogy, the X-Cons also needed to be involved. So thus it has 2 bits of being incomplete and unsatisafying. By "killing" Kang (though we know he's not dead), it kinda put a big halt on the Multiverse saga's big-bad before he even started (and this would be true even without Majors' personal matters), and then it fails to totally satisfy as an Ant-Man film because 2 factors of what made the prior films work were removed (X-Con) or reduced (Hope/Wasp). That said, I do like it a lot, and it was great to share w/ my now 12 year old kid.

I loved it. I think people dont really get comics, and therefore don't really get comic book movies. Marvel has done a brilliant job making a cinematic representation of what the comics are and have always been. A person isnt going to love every single comic book. Some dont sell and have limited runs, but they are still part of a mosaic. In the cinematic version, we have some movies and shows that don't hit for everyone, and that should be okay.

WE NEEDED THIS VIDEO WHILE THE MOVIE WAS IN THEATRES.. I kept arguing this for a year with my friends. No one ever accepts my ant theory.

The thing that bugged (ha) me the most about the ant criticisms is, don't we want to see superheroes win by using their unique powers? Shouldn't ANT man win the day because he got help from ants? That's part of the fun of all this, innit?

this movie only got bad after Scott got the engine core for Kang. Everything after that felt half baked, also the rebels weren’t established well enough to care about their final battle

The sense of scale was off. One of the things that makes Ant Man movies unique is the size of people and things compared to the normal size of the real world. Several times in the QR it was hard to tell if they were shrunken, normal or giant sized compared to the rest of the environment. They should have done something different with Kang, like maybe have him inside an actual prison inside his base. Like he can use his tech to create and control his empire, but he was physically confined to an enclosed area by his variants using some sort of powerful energy field. So he can't really interact with the environment and personally go out and shoot lasers, but his tech, his army and his minions are able to do the physical heavy lifting for him. That would allow the heroes to find a way to defeat him without having to face him as a true big bad. Instead, they'd just sort of thwart his goals and overthrow his empire in the QR. The end however, should foreshadow that by defeating him, they overlooked something and actually gave Kang a way to escape the QR. That would set up the future slate of events and pay off that gut feeling Scott has at the end where he's questioning whether they actually won.

Kang controlling a powerful army from far off would also mirror ant man's ability to Comand an army of ants. However, I feel like it would take longer to explain what's happening in that version of the movie and you lose the connection with Janet that was set up in the second movie.

I honestly didn’t mind the super smart sentient ants at the end, I just wish we would’ve got a good chunk more of them so we could understand them and their motives and what happened to them over the millennia. Would’ve been a lot more believable and just just a random ex machine like we got

A lot of people complained about Kang being beaten by "ant-man", while the entire point of the movie was to not underestimate him and that is the main reason Kang lost. That is very true that Kang is much more powerful than antman, but underestimating him is the biggest mistake an enemy can make, he is an Avenger too after all.

Nice try but honestly here's my main problem: the protagonists do not undergo a challenge and then change as a result. Therefore there is no plot just scenes of things

The only thing missing from Quantumania was Luis. I think the hate came from Marvel advertising, who Kang would become instead of letting him be a new villain that would become a thorn in everyone's side. The mistake wasn't him being defeated by hyper intelligent ants. The mistake was not showing Kang survive it.

I watched it in theaters and it definitely didn’t deserve all the negative publicity it was getting!

Not having Michael Peña do a story recap was the biggest travesty.

When I talk about this movie with friends and they cite "bad CGI" as a reason for it being bad, they almost always bring up Modok. But nothing to do with the actual CGI, but the design of Modok. Also most of those people haven't seen what Modok looks like in the comics.

I used to keep a movie journal like that too!

I agree with so much of the video and appreciate the movie more. However, I still can't get over how inconsistent Kang's powers are. One moment he is levitating around, vaporizing/annihilating people , and can use the force/control gravity. The next he just wants to stay on the ground, knocking people back and hide in a bubble...I get that his powers are only from technology and those ants might have better tech and abilities that can still beat the stronger version of him, but I think they could have done better to show that and stay more consistent.

I really liked the movie when I saw it, and was surprised when people started turning against it. I didn't notice anything wrong with the VFX (real life isn't always colorful-- visible light wouldn't be perceptible on a subatomic scale... Neptune isn't really that blue...electron microscope photography shows how weird everything looks on a microscopic level...) I appreciate how you pointed out the thematic unity and hopeful message. It's always welcome in this dumpster fire of a world. No, it's not perfect, but the characters (even MODOK!) were enjoyable, the idea of Kang gets across, and I had a great time. And now, I appreciate it even more. Thank you!

totally agree, completely underrated! it’s a shame we won’t get another performance of majors as lang for the big screen.

I felt that Antman was close to embracing those themes, but Scott did remains the same as ending montage shows he didnt learn Cassie's lesson that he needed to be more proactive as an Avenger rather than protecting the status quo (ie Kang and his timeline). Sacrificing himself wouldve been that arc. What was bad about the movie was its CGI action, abundance of side characters, lack of Wasp, reluctance to show Kang until the midpoint, and the underwhelming ending of Wasp defeating him despite zero character arc in the movie (she kills her mother's lover-- what if Wasp was struggling with a similar conflict to her mother regarding her love for Scott).

I don't hate this movie, in fact, I enjoyed this movie, very much! I even bought the book, "Watch Out for the Little Guy" because I thought it was an amazing concept. I believe this film was pushed to the back burner and got burnt. So much potential, like you said. I thought Ant-Man was going to die, just like I thought Hawkeye was going to lose his arm in the Disney+ show. But we're talking about perception, and expectations. One day, Marvel will return to it's great story telling time again, and I will be there, Watching!!

Quantumania WAS a great movie, like so many others in Phase 4 and 5. The issue comes from the fans. Marvel fans have become spoiled since Infinity War and Endgame. And we as a people have become more jaded and cynical. This is the reason Marvel movies struggle now. Sad but true.

My take is that the MCU never wanted Kang THE CONQUEROR to be the main baddie of the Saga. They want(ed?) The Council of KangS to be the antagonist of this Phases.

I haven't even seen your vid yet SC, but I already love it 😂 Anyone can find flaws in film... it takes little brains and less effort...

Scott is enjoying his celebrity life but Falcon was scrambling for money. 😢

I honnestly like this Ant Man Movie, and I think it really doesn't deserve all that backlash, except the complains about CGI being rushed. That said, I think Quantumania lacks the scale effects we had in previous appearances of Ant Man in the MCU, especially in the first movie : What I liked about Ant Man was the sense of scale, with some scenes that had that miniature effect. And I think it's a shame that they went away from these shot ideas...

@ 23:55 "the Wasp" in the title is the OG Wasp - Janet. It's more Hank & Janet's story, b/c Hank helped Cassie build the tech. Not Scott.

Hey, we have to stop the Man in Black -- a villain we know practically nothing about -- from leaving the island, because if he does, it will destroy the world. But WHY will it destroy the world, you ask? Well... it just will, I guess? And in this movie, we have to stop Kang -- a villain we know practically nothing about -- from leaving the Quantum Realm, because it will destroy the world. But WHY will it destroy the world, you ask? Well... it just will, I guess? Why is it so difficult to just write a villain with clear motivations, and to give the audience a clear sense of the consequences if the villain achieves his or her goals? We're not making experimental art-house cinema here, it's just a superhero movie meant for all audiences.

You're right. The idea of giant insects suffers from the reality of the square-cube rule. You square the size/volume, you cube the mass/weight. Glad you called that out.

No lie, I loved this movie!! When I took my son to watch it at the movies, I watched it through without ever going to the bathroom and I've seen it three time on Disney.

I think in 20 years we may see the same thing happen to the MCU as happened to the Star Wars prequels. There'll be a grand nostalgia wave, maybe a few remakes or upgrades to whatever the latest tech of the day is. Ultimately I think they'll be remembered fondly.

The trend of critics chomping at the bit to proclaim each upcoming movie as the downfall of the entire MCU is just getting sad. They are so dependent on viewership for their own platforms that they've decided a movie's fate before they even watch it. Thank you Ryan for being the voice of reason.

I might be the only person that just accepts Marvel shows/movies for what they are and find enjoyment in all of them, i mean except of eternals which i still havent watched yet. Like i absolutely loved She-Hulk, it was really funny meta and subversive. I love the totally new style and tone, its the exact type of episodic show that Marvel lacks, the casual viewer would be able to get into much easier. the CGI looks fine, like she looks like a female hulk, yes people who are green dont look normal, and if you teied painting and actor you wouldnt get the subsurface scatter that cg skin is able to reproduce, ot would look cheap with someone painted. If Secret wars was as it was and wasnt considered "Marvel" it would have been a massive hit for literally any TV or streaming network, the acting and production were pretty top notch. Try findig the good in things and a lot more shows will be good to you

I loved this movie! WTF do they want? The characters to leap out of comic books and bite their @zzes? They are CHARACTERS and fluid. It's nice to have them look and behave exactly like in the books...but most of it doesn't translate well into a movie. Ex. Nick Fury...I would never have guessed Samuel L Jackson to play such a part...but it worked for me. Enjoy the ride or make your own movie.

This movie was ridiculously slept on. Sure, some of the CGI was poor. The majority of that CGI was on screen for a second or less; I never noticed it until I saw a video of it slowed down. Like, we’re so insanely spoiled when it comes to visuals that it’s sad. Darren as MODOK was amazing and I loved it. Kang getting beat by a class II civilization of ants that were ALL smarter, more intelligent and much stronger than Kang is NOT something that should surprise us. Then Scott beating a severely powered down version of Kang (he’s literally just a man at that point) is also not surprising. Seriously, this movie is great.

I’m not a special effects guy either but what I think hurt it the most was the Quantum Realm is 99% CGI. It was wild, alien, and beautiful. But being rushed made the actors look superimposed in so many scenes. Flaws aside I still liked the film.

Personally I love this film!

How much is Disney paying you to shill for this movie?

People aren't allowed to have their own opinion? Try again lil 🐱

I LOVE this video. Thank you so much for celebrating the awesome parts of a movie that people have made a game of ganging up on. You’ve given a redemption arc to the incredibly hard work of hundreds of talented people. Huge props, you guys.

The thing abt the cgi is that it’s good where it needs to be. The visuals of the entire quantum realm are incredible, and I think that’s what matters most.

I don't care what anyone says. I love this movie and will always find the post credit Council of Kang scene as iconic. For Pete's sake, Marvel, just recast. I want Kang to keep going after Kingpin's street level storyline is over. Because im pretty sure the story's pivoting to Kingpin to give them more time to recast Kang.

spare me man...

He did help drag this movie. When the movie could have used this kind of breakdown he simply jumped on the hate train and helped make fun of it. Like last week he was making fun of ants killing Kang lol

Bill Murray is the direct reason why a lot of your favorite movies did not get sequels. If those sequels would have been good or not, who knows now. It is his fault we didnt get more OG Ghostbusters, even though Harold Ramis wanted to do more. Lastly, I am generally always underwhelmed with Murray's performances, including in Ant-man (even though I like the movie itself)

I never agree either any of the opinions on this channel but I still love it. That being said, I disagree. I think it was fine. Not great or memorable. But it wasn’t the disaster others said it was. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Just stop already lmao. We all know you just want to stay on Marvel’s good side so you can keep getting early screenings. Embarrassing.

What did you think of Quantumania?

Here's what I think could've fixed quantumania so just get rid of kang have him be like thanos him sitting on a throne controlling everything and have modok as the main villain but as a general in kang's army just like Ronan the accuser is a top commanrer in thanos army in guardians of the galaxy and I saw some of the rejected concept art for Modok and it looked better than the modok we got in quantumania so i would use one of those rejected concept art and used it for the movie and I would remove the Modok redemption arc now I would continue the trend of a hero losing something in they're 3rd movie maybe modok kills Janet or something and at the end of the movie we will have a scene where a battalion of kang's soldiers report to kang that modok has been defeated but kang just smiles just like Thanos at the end of the avengers movie we can still have the council of kangs mid credits scenes

i wasn’t a fan. left the theater unconfident in the future of the mcu

I had fun watching this movie, the ants overwhelming Kang was fine. I am one of those people who thought Scott should have died or been stuck in the quantum realm

Given different circumstances i think all the phase 5 movies could have been reffined

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for content, huh? This will be a long year for channels like this.

Yes, they should give an accurate look at the content rather than try to make it look good when it isn't, or find other content to review. I feel for them because it's like like they are on a sinking ship trying to stay afloat.

... No, it's not great lol. Like, at all.

It looked amazing, I am mostly hoping they use the tech for more interesting star wars aliens

Never understood the compleaint that Kang "lost" in quantumania. That's kind of who Kang is. He is often losing but just keeps coming back even stronger. This Kang was so terrifying. Ok, he lost, the next one would have been even worse.

This guy really defends marvel so damm much its actually funny. Like spams videos out on why the mcu isn't dead when it is and that superheroes aren't a genre when it is so how can can it be superheroe fatigue like this guy😂

Nope!

What people consider bad CGI today would have been awe-inspiring 25 years ago. There are some movies where the visual effects look so good that they might have made the film worth watching regardless of the story. In 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey was a film like that. Fifty years later, there was Avatar. Avatar didn't become the highest-grossing movie of all time because of its story. But there have been some very good films that had only mediocre special effects. There was nothing in Quantumania's CGI that looked so bad it took me out of the movie. I didn't have a problem with the CGI in She-Hulk, either. But I haven't actually seen a Hulk that looked completely real since Lou Ferrigno. Maybe it's the uncanny valley, but there is just something about the skin color of a CGI Hulk that just looks animated. But that doesn't mean I couldn't really enjoy some of the movies with Hulk. Skaar didn't look real either, but maybe as time goes by, the CGI will get better. But even if it doesn't, if the story and acting are good, the movie will be good, possibly even great.

Doug the Bear is hilarious 🐻 My gf thought he was an Ewok 😂

I think the problem with the ants is that there's now a group of ridiculously overpowered ants that they can ask for help in future movies, but won't.

I could never figure out why there was so much hate for this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I totally agree it was great. It had a very good villain. It had a great story and the end fight was terrific. Well acted and well directed. Just a good fun Marvel movie.

Marvel/Disney have to rehire Jonathan Majors, he was the best part of the MCU after RDJ left. It doesn’t make sense to let go of a once in a generational talent like Majors over accidentally hurting a finger while defending himself and his property. Bring back Majors and bring back Kang!

Doesn't matter how you rationalize it, Kang should not have been defeated in this movie especially if he was being set up as the next Thanos-level threat. Maybe if Marvel hadn't informed us that Kang would be the next Avengers villain, it could've worked. But it's no wonder why people feel let down after seeing him defeated by Antman & friends. Just my opinion
