Amph Ant-Man (and the Wasp) (Quantumania): Kicking Your Ass, One Inch at a Time

One of my favorite online movie reviewers cited this character as the biggest problem of this film, in that, the movie just didn't provide enough background.

I heard other complaints that Scott overall character was reduced (no pun intended) from his role and prominence from the original film.

 

What did Janet eat for 30 years?

 

How did she get a face lift in the quantum zone?

 

Unfortunately, she didn't have access to a Snickers.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the film, but this was so glaringly lazy.

 

Yah Janet emerging with "hey! Superpowers, yo!" was a tad wonky, she just became Space Jesus. Well, it seems like something that should be followed up on, if anything just we need more context as to why Janet is doing what she can do and if that plays into the larger MCU. Which I kinda doubt it will but there will (probably) be an Ant-Man 3 that'll expand on it.

I also think Scott was downgraded to basically sidekick and it's mostly Hope and Hank's movie but that isn't exactly a huge problem. The movie is way sub-plotty but it also zips along so whenever a subplot happens it's tied into the larger chase-movie whole as opposed to random cutting away to it.

Spoiler

Strange is a bit of a celebrity (there was a line in his movie about appearances on CNN), but in all likelihood the publicly-known story on him is that he is a famous surgeon who became a recluse after ruining his career in a distracted driver accident. Also, I don’t think people really saw him in action against the Black Order. So accounts of him being missing would have them like “And...” assuming they even know who Dr. Stephen Strange is in the first place.

That leaves Stark, and I’m pretty sure the consensus there was “yeah...**** that guy.” So as far as Hank, Hope, Scott, and Janet were concerned, something showed up in New York, made a small mess, then left; and the only casualty of note was some a-hole they despised?

at the bolded. I like those ideas. (well at least the spoiler tags worked)...

 

The villains of the three MCU movies had agendas that each differed in size and scope:

Killmonger's plan had global implications; Thanos's plan had universal implications; Ghost's goal was more personal.

 

Technically

Spoiler

They won't all be Kang.
He Who Remains/Immortus from the end of Loki was not Kang, there are many other variants who won't be either

Kang the Conqueror is but one Variant, like Sylvie is a variant of Loki. Nathanial Richards from the 31st Century has many variants across many ages of time, what would make things more interesting would be if we see those and ultimately arrive at Kang who will then be an Avengers villain.

Assuming of course Marvel isn't going to make changes, maybe in the MCU Kang was the original and they're all variants of him

 

Bill Murray is in this? Is it possible for me to be even more sold on this movie than I already was?

 

it looked like a cross between attack of the clones and honey i shrunk the kids. also "goodbye yellow brick road" is going to be stuck in my head all day but i'm not really mad.
