Ant-Man 3 Is Hot Garbage

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania kicked off phase five with a thud. An almost train-wreck, it ended up just being a stinker. Join me for a film review.

​@@thevarietychannelofyoutube4769 no one said they need to. Which wasn't what marvel did every time showing a woman. Gamora? I mean shit, even Jane when she's just being a scientist isn't that feminine. She's usually not the damsel in distress. Thor's mother I'd say is a good example as well. The OG comment was making a point that the trend nowadays is that people will say masculine qualities aren't great... on men but when a woman shows those same qualities it's being praised. It's the quite literal definition of being a hypocrite. No one is demanding women stay in their lane and men do the same. All people want is a character written well and a story that makes sense. No one gives a shit if a woman wants to do what men generally do or vice versa. We just want them written well. And unfortunately hardly anyone in Hollywood has the balls to just write well. They all gotta have some narrative towards real life.

You know I just realized something. In the trailers it was implied that Scott would be convinced to work for Kang after he offers him the the opportunity to make up for lost time with his daughter, basically he'd be given the same deal Kang offered Janet. Having been incarcerated and then trapped in the Quantum Realm for 5 years he effectively missed her entire childhood and now he's watching her follow in his footsteps, making the same mistakes he did when he was younger. It would be a much better conflict if Scott had to come to terms with the fact that he missed out on her growing up and that he had to accept things as they were despite their relationship not being ideal. Too bad that isn't the movie we got. What a missed opportunity...

[@Wahba.]

​@@Wahba.yeap.. changed the ending and added a bunch of shitty humor. Scott and Cassie were supposed to be left in the quantam realm at the end but it was too dark supposedly and reshot

[@amorymckeever2665]

Easy fixes they could have done 1. Have Janet actually explain the dangers she faced, and imply that Kang is building an army and a machine to invade "Earth" from the Quantum Realm, but this warning only motivates Scott and crew to go into the QR in order to stop Kang from finishing his plans. This makes their journey to the QR heroic and brave, rather than accidental. 2. Show Hank, Scott, and Cassie building the "telescope" together, as a family, in order to send Scott/Antman (alone) into the QR and stop Kang, without telling Janet or Hope (to avoid conflict). Only they can't get past a design flaw so it won't work. Janet and Hope find out what they are building, and object, and during an argument that takes place inside the 'portal chamber', Cassie in the background tinkering with the telescope, fixes the problem and suddenly the machine sends everyone into the QR. This again, reduces the amount of "accidental" in the mission. They intended to go to the QR, just not as a whole family. 3. Don't have Hank be such a cuck. Have him actually feel rejected and betrayed by Janet's infidelity, have them in conflict, and have her choose Hank in the end, during a battle where they both have to 'sacrifice' of themselves for each other, and that repairs the trust. 4. Have Kang win. He WINS! Antman and Wasp fight Kang and his army as a distraction while Hank (who dies in the process), Janet and Cassie sabotage Kang's machine. Scott and the rest of the family barely escape, knowing that Kang will fix his machine and is coming for them, and the rest of the world. This will create an anticipated tension for the next 'Dynasty'.

[@zacharyjackson1829]

What's crazy is a LOT of poeple thought Scott and Hank were gonna die! this isn't some crazy fan theory some random content creator came up with. a lot of us got that vibe so it's stupid they didn't go this direction and build up tension. i can understand not killing off scott and maybe just leaving him stranded in the QR while hank and maybe Janet die but geeze cmon give us some stakes marvel. we haven't had stakes since we lost Widow and technically Gamora although her loss won't come to true fruition until GOTG 3 when Gunn shows us that our version of Gamora is truly gone and you can't just take a multiverse copy to fill that void

But the multiverse should have been used so that the longer it’s connected to our universe, the more destruction will happen to our world. That would raise the stakes high

[@minejack7773]

I would prefer the Spider-Verse route they took with multiversal travel. The longer you're in one location, the more you suffer because (science shit for the MCU) you're not supposed to be there. That way it would keep the doors open for crossovers (like in NWH,) but also keep the 'primary timeline' clean. AND raise stakes for multiversal properties/crossovers, with 'that' being the overarching problem. Acting as a timer if you will. The X-Men and F4 are just bonuses this way. Not necessities I want to say Reed is necessary to make something to traverse the multiverse, but honestly a room of 6 3rd graders should have it done within a week, going by MCU logic

[@WillsonT011]

The problem to get to the Fantastic 4 and X-MEN as fast as possible, it's going to do the same thing they've been doing with phase 4 of the MCU😵 They have made it clear they want Sue Richards as the lead not Reed Richards and with the X-MEN, they don't like the word "MEN" in X-MEN, so you know what they're going to do with that storytelling😣😣😣

So that he and the rest of the family will never feel the inclination to meddle with the QR again - and it's possible that none of the rest of the Avengers or any other superheroes reside in this reality as Scott know them. But possibly Variants or non-existent altogether. The Council doesn't want the Avengers working toward taking on the Multiverse, so what better way than to divide and conquer? I liked the movie, considering it had to be toned down, and there was some cons like all movies, but the ending was what stoked me the most. This Kang wasn't even the baddest or the worst yet to come, and that's exciting. He was just the intro to the rest of the Kangs.

One thing about Everything Everywhere All at Once and Multiverse movies, I think it was a small movie on a big stage and that's why it worked. The fundamental relationship between mother and daughter that carried the movie was established in the baseline universe, expanded upon with the multiverse, and then returned to the baseline relationship for an emotional payoff. If there aren't potential consequences in the universe we are invested in then it makes it much harder to care. Starting in the multiverse and passing through the main MCU setting or being set in some inbetween will never have the same emotional connection for the audience.

Idk about everyone else, but I’m getting burnt out hoping for new , innovative films that focus less on agendas, less on release dates that kill films, but a steady line of films that tell a good, compelling story with characters that are written well to the extent. It almost makes me not to want to watch any of these films or shows anymore. The only shows imo that are even worth watching are underrated gems like invincible, and the boys, hell even jupiters legacy was great, but they cancelled that because of mixed reception and the fallout that is an imploding Netflix, and didn’t give it a chance to improve. Also EDIT: I enjoyed the video and I respect your outlook on these films, the MCU blowhards make it tough for giving an honest review.

I'm still confused as to why they recast Cassie Lang because there was nothing wrong with the actress (Emma Fuhrman) who played her in Avengers Endgame. Hell, the one scene where Scott meets her at his house after coming out of the QR; that actress without even saying anything, emoted better than newer Cassie actress Kathryn Newton did in the entire Quantumania movie. Someone told me "its not Newton's fault she was given a bad script' - yeah no that's just half the problem. If you see the clip of her in the back seat of Scott's car when they're arguing, she says the line about taking care of herself and she looks off to the side with a half grin. That half grin was the same facial expression she used in like the majority of this film for various emotional scenes. It was odd. So yeah, her acting was....not good. So I don't get why they changed her. And they didn't even notify the previous actress which was messed up. With the past actors that were changed there were various reasons: Terrance Howard (Rhodey) was booted because he demanded more money. Supposedly Disney/Marvel exec Ike Perlmutter was racist about it saying 'all black people look alike anyway (which Kevin Feige got annoyed by and nearly quit). Ike eventually left his position in 2019 if which Kevin took over, and by 2023, Ike was completely kicked out of Disney. Ed Norton (Hulk) was booted because they felt he was difficult to work with in the future as he was passionate about working on the scripts since he is a fan of the comic book character, while Mark Ruffalo is a yes man. Hugo Weaving was ready to return as Red Skull in Endgame but contract negotiations fell flat as Disney didn't agree to his pay requests (much like Terrance Howard situation) so they replaced him with Ross Marquand. Sadly Chadwick Boseman (T'Challa) and William Hurt (Ross) passed away but so far only Ross' character has been recast to Harrison Ford. So with Emma, it made no sense as like I said she wasn't even contacted. She didn't even get a chance to re-audition.
