I will reiterate this for all eternity: Guardians of the Galaxy's success is the worst thing to have happened to Marvel movies because it set the formula for every movie that followed it.
End game should of been the last marvel movie, because despite the girl power scene it ended on a emotional ending that was built up over 12 years of movies. What happened was trying to chase the fame of what will never be, and all because Disney stuck it’s wang in politics and being “PC”. So out of phase 4 we got two okay not great Spider-Man movies, and a bunch of movies and TV shows that were crap. Only things worth looking forward to are Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and DeadPool 3, and that’s it. No one asked for the marvels, Eternals, a She Hulk that would of been a good show if effort was put into the writing and not change up origins of her character, and anything else in phase 4. Rather just watch marvel cartoons that were good, and not “corrected” by writers that never truly read and understood the comics. Heck when DC announced Harley and Ivy were a lesbian couple fans were like “that be a interesting show” and they did that without being woke, with minor “pc” crap which they actually made fun of dumb crap like that, and was actually a fun cartoon. That’s one thing I will say about the marvel cartoons they at least haven’t screwed them up, unlike DC with Teen Titans go.
@@MysteryAGMLegend You do realise that Marvel has always been "PC" right? All but a couple of their writers have always been on the Progressive side of Politics, Stan Lee's whole thing was that Anybody could be a hero, and made sure that every type of person was represented to the best of their knowledge. Most of the "PC" stuff people complain about is ripped straight from the comics. When it comes to the Harley and Poison Ivy relationship, that happened in the comics and is one of the most beloved couples in comic history, if anything people wished it happened in the show sooner. Phase 4 of marvel gave us a few really good movies, if you like comic book movies anyway. Shang Chi, Spiderman: No Way Home, and Multiverse of Madness were great superhero movies, and several of the shows were really good, Loki, Wandavision, Moonknight, and Hawkeye were really fun to watch. I even enjoyed She-Hulk for the most part (the end conflict could have been changed, but most of the show was fairly comic accurate, even the creator of the she-hulk character said so). I agree that nobody asked for that Marvels movie, they should have taken the hint at the backlash because of Brie Larson's version of the character, and Far from Home could have been better, Mysterio is a weird villain to be a solo act. I think that several of the shows coming out this Phase have real potential to be amazing and with the end of this phase bringing in the X-Men and Fantastic Four along with characters like Deadpool into the official MCU universe, there is still a ton of potential for good stories. I can Understand if people are feeling Burnout for the MCU, it has been going on for over a decade with over 30 movies and now Shows to keep up with, so if people want to take a break from those movies and maybe come back later, I think that is perfectly fine, but I also don't think its fair to judge a movie or show's quality poorly when your going into the experience with already soured expectations, and just because You don't like something, doesn't make it a bad thing. There are still plenty of people who Loved the movies you seem to have disliked or hated. Movies are supposed to be Fun, it seems like these days people forgot what Fun is like and spend all their time trying to find Flaws in things instead of appreciating the good parts of what they are seeing.

@@sam21best2 When making the adaptation between Comic and Movie there are always going to be losses, Animation will always be superior to Live Action in this way. Modok can't be done justice in the Live Action format without looking so terrible that most people would hate seeing him for more then a second, it would go so far into the uncanny valley that people would be throwing up in the theaters.
The MCU is so meta that in the multiverse saga about variants, every movie is just a variant of one another. What started to be a unique movie project of films that came together in 2008 has become a soulless cashgrab machine. I miss the times when superheroes movies had character developement and message and felt organic inside its own world like spiderman 2 was back in 2004.
You should definitely watch one of his Drinker Recommends videos, because he talks about movies he genuinely enjoys and encourages others to watch, such as Predator, Jaws, the HBO Chernobyl series, Event Horizon and more
After Endgame, for some reason, I kept giving Marvel attention. That ended with the abomination that was Thor: Love & Thunder. Now, I couldn’t care less about Marvel movies.
@@emberdragon4248 I haven’t seen Doctor Strange 2, but I’ve heard that a lot. After Endgame, Marvel seems to be just throwing ideas and characters around trying to get something to stick with no overall plan. It’s a quantity over quality situation
Oldschool vending machines are common in the UK, where theyre full of exposed gears and wires. Hes saying her hair is mangled (also most vending machines can't even drop a chocolate bar properly so of cause hair would be destroyed if going through a vending machine)
I think the vending machine remark is a callback to an old ad about gender normality stuff. The ad shows men and women being taken care of differently by machines to put them at peek gender form and, if i remember correctly, the women gets her hair done in a vending machine looking thing. Gotta rewatch it to see how badly i misremembered things.
I think you're right at the end. Marvel's gonna hit a point where we expect some tired and soulless cash grab and they actually put out something incredible. Like Puss in Boots. Or Dungeons & Dragons apparently
Phase Four gave us a few really good things, but it was drowned out by the Mid things and the people complaining about said Mid things and making them seem horrible. Phase 5-6 have a ton of potential to be amazing, but people are so burned out that they refuse to give things a chance anymore and just look for flaws in everything.
Nux, I too love when twists are actually twists. Potential spoilers for overlord: Like I recently watched season 4 of overlord and the reveal on the last episode was genuinely surprising. I suspected something was going on with the character and I knew they were probably involved somewhat but even then the reveal was still very entertaining for me. If you just have a twist for no reason it’s not good but genuinely detracts from the story, it needs to be seriously built up throughout the story line.
This made me want to see what would happen if Jim Henson Studios were given the proper resources and budget to create an ideal, live-action depiction of MODOK. They're working on the FNAF movie, not to mention everything else they've worked on, so it wouldn't be the craziest idea. I hope I'm not wrong.
the worst sin of quantimania or whatever you call it is that it does not have best boi in Ant Man! You know, the guy that tells these stories in real funny ways with all those people lip sync to what he says?! I love that guy!
I watching the movie and was like "Yo where the hell are Michael Pena and T.I.?" Luis and the rest of Scott's crew were highlights of the last two films.
You know the sad part about this one is that it took 200 million dollars to make, whereas films like Everything everywhere at once and RRR took half as much or even less yet we’re so much better than this
One of the reasons I despise this movie is the fact they fucked over my adorabl little peanut Cassie! She was such a sweet, loving little girl who wanted to grow up to be like her daddy and they even handled her well in endgame (for what little screen time she had). But then they turn her out of nowhere into a tech wiz, gave her a pym suit, she mastered quantum tech, and she ends up being an unlikeable activist moron! Scott was a criminal, but he actually did genuine good as one and (even legally speaking) had paid big time for his crimes as “Robin Hood”. Cassie just intervened in a situation she had no business with, didn’t suffer any consequences such a long time in jail, didn’t learn a lesson, used her “powers” selfishly and destructively and out of nowhere hated her dad Scott despite having become an actual hero! It’s bullshit!
My favorite part about the Kang 'twist' is that it's only a twist if you didn’t watch Loki. So Marvel is relying on us to have purposely not watched some of their media in order to make their twist work.
MODOK in this movie looks like Mr. Electric from the Sharkboy and Lavagirl movie. I'm sure others have pointed that out long before me, but that's the only thing I can think of every time I see the character.
@@GJ_4015 You mean when he would have actually looked menacingly evil like in the comics? And not like some guy you see at work but ignore? I know you're a bot, but try to actually make your comments convincing in getting people to actually like the movie. Unless of course you're acting like a shill on purpose.
Do you really think they could ever do Modok well? In the comics he is Ugly as hell, he has always had a really stupid design, they pretty much did the best they could while not making him Vomit inducing with it being live action...
@@EldritchRolls Marvel actually can make him ugly yet intimidating and bad ass like Dormammu from Doctor Strange even that villain is just a big floating CGI head in that movie. I bet the art book of Quantumania has different drafts of Modok and some idiot chose the pudgy baby faced one instead of the menacing looking Modok.
@@EldritchRolls ... I've seen some pretty good MODOK designs throughout the years in the comics that are genuinely menacing and evil. Calm down for a minute and not act like a crazy fan. 😑
whats unfortunate is there WAS a really good story that made me have hope marvel would turn itself around... MoonKight. It wasnt perfect but it was a more down to earth (relatively speaking compared to universe destruction) show that covered something the movies never touched on... its a shame the movies cant dare to break away from what they have established for one moment and return to something more localized then just "yep this threat will end the universe"
There were way too many forced jokes in this ant man and I love Paul Rudd, but the only star in this was the villain easily. Plus, what they did to Modok good god wtf 😢
@@itsjustme6018 Literally not at all, there's still good modern shows and movies. Seriously, name one person who thinks EVERYTHING modern is trash, that there hasn't been a single good show or movie in the last few years. It's just that we've come to expect that when they make it a point that they're going to "appeal to modern audiences" it's literally just an excuse to inject their personal political opinions in an overtly preachy way. It's a stupid worthless catchphrase because "modern audiences" enjoy the exact same things that audiences have always enjoyed, and that's an interesting story with unique characters and good writing. People are tired of all the remakes, sequels and adaptations constantly, but just because that has become the standard, doesn't mean that's all there is.
@@itsjustme6018 Quote from this exact Ant-Man movie "Unpopular take, but hear me out: Socialism is a good thing." If that's the message you want to send, do it like Star-Trek did in the original series. "Show, don't tell" is widely considered to be like the golden rule of storytelling and modern day Disney can't even do it. But regardless, who the hell wants to watch a fucking superhero movie to get told "muh socialism good?" That's why I said their political messaging is usually done in an overtly preachy way. Or you could just look to Nux's new series How To (NOT) Write A Female Character, where the badly written female characters usually express feminist messaging in the exact same sort of way. Now give me an example of someone who thinks every modern show and movie is trash. And then give me an example of people complaining about the existence of a diverse character that's actually original and not just a tokenized version of an existing character like the new Little Mermaid.
Thats the joke: literally evrry dumb idea can be a good story, if you think enough about the consequences. Thats why horror films work, even though they dont change everything: they tell the story and milk it until most of it is told. You dont need tropes if you just think about the plot. Like event horizon: people go on ship, murder each other and leave, from the outside. Every dumb story can be told in a smart way, there just needs to be dedication.
@@Christopher15096 Why it auto corrected it to such without my consent is beyond me, but it's fixed now apologies everyone. Though another thing: I'm not your Lil Bro, I'm the complete opposite of it actually.
@@martymohawk8360 That one was way too obvious, still good nevertheless. I came up with something a lot more obscure, at least for those that have had Cash Bannoca Lore would know.
Well that would explain why I hate it. 😁🤣 Actually I hate it BECAUSE of the visual effects. Orange blue, purple red, red purple, orange purple; repeat endlessly on a black background even if its just in a quantum bar. You know why? It's been proven that contrast of extremes from opposite sides of the color spectrum we can perceive are the most attention catching, and why you saw it on every video game and movie advertisement and poster a few years back. It's lazy to make a whole movie reds and purples. 😒
Damn. I thought I was the only one pissed I had to waste $15 on a ticket just because my family dragged me out to watch this shit even though I dropped Marvel 5 years ago. I was so fucking bored watching that crap and my family couldn't understand why despite explaining it for those past 5 years.
Really because I liked it, antman at the end even questions if he was the bad guy of these story asking if Kang was right just like in infinity wars learned it has its cost and he will deal with it when it comes because they choose their actions, it's a bit aimed toward kids but not bad
The superhero movie genre is starting to show off some burn out, movies like Logan or Joker were amazing because they focus more on the storytelling than the fx, they felt like a breath of fresh air after so much Marvel and DC movies, so after the first avengers and the first Dr. Strange, I stopped caring about the narrative and just enjoying the heroes and fx on screen, because it felt like a complete cycle, but they had to jerk the money cow and now we're here, searching in a tired genre something that is a rare occasion, not the rule. I see these movies with the same expectations as a Fast & Furious movie, I can enjoy it for the sake of watching superhumans, but not for the sake of the plot.
So the quantum realm really is a thing in the comics, but since it's basically just everything on the subatomic level there's not a lot actually going on. What they showed is closer to the negative zone. A separate dimension with its own laws of physics and weird alien inhabitants. Seeing as it's a fantastic 4 property I'd assume they mixed things up deliberately for property rights reasons, except Kang is also a fantastic 4 character and Disney already assimilated fox, so they probably just don't give a shit about the source material.
Disney really doesn't give a shit about original material. They only care about the brand name and how it can make them money. Just look at what they already did to their own IPs with all the shitty live action reboots. It should be enough proof.
Aside from all the woke garbage, it was honestly just a meh movie. Lacked the charm of the first two, Scott lacks the energy he had in the first two films, NO FUCKING MICHAEL PENA! Also Kang the Conqueror was already set up in the Loki series, but nobody watched that. It's not a terrible movie, it's just very meh. That said, Kang the Conqueror was actually a solid villain.
@@itsjustme6018 Bro, I likely have significantly better quality of life than you do, and I am more than allowed to not enjoy a bunch of virtue signalling and preachiness being pushed at me in my entertainment media, so kindly screw off.
Stan lee died and he took all the innovation and creativity of marvel with him. Edit: it would have been better if they didn't add modok in the movie and instead teased that he was there in the shadows watching and when everyone left he would just creep out of the shadow cause now he will rule the quantum realm without anyone stopping him like it's what he does.
Video game movies are becoming the new hyped money making movie trend and Marvel movies are derailing after Endgame made Marvel Studios very cocky. What a year we’ve had.
What's going on with Disney's directors and writers? If you see who's behind each new entry, you'll find that the writers have not had any single major project in their resume but they still get casted for this multi-million dollar project so... what the hell is going on? I think the producers arbitrarily pick less-renowned writers so they can do whatever they feel with the script, and the single role of the writer in the film is to glue together the crap the producers come up with, and to be a scapegoat when it all goes to shit. And to cap it all, directors that will sell themselves for corporate greed and will go along every single bad decision. There is no heart in these projects, no passion, no love for the arts or the IP... just greed and nonsensical storytelling
i like some comics even though i read manga and manhwa. But isn't this what has been with all comic's since the beginning? That an incident happens but it does not have permanent consequences because then we cannot use the same villains and heroes in other stories with other writers. One of the reasons villains and heroes are never permanently killed. Because they are not written by just one person that ends with everything being trapped in time, Gwenpool once said in her comic that she have been in a comic now for 4 years but it's only 1 year had passed. While in one piece, FMA and others provide a sense of time.
I like Marvel. I liked the MCU except for Captain Marvel up until Endgame. But the original creators who made those movies intended the series to end with Endgame. Now it feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter over too much bread. The series was already running a bit thin with the likes of Iron Man 3, and Ant-man was kind of bland and predictable from the start. As a die-hard Marvel fan, let me say this: let the MCU die with what shred of dignity it has left. It is stifling any alternative portrayals of Marvel, and is disappointing to the fans. Let it be lain to rest. Teen Titans, the Maguire Spider-Man movies... they didn't overstay their welcome. MCU should do the same.
Random thought: A great “strong female character?” John McClain’s daughter. Granted the movie was “eh” (Live Free or Die Hard) it wasn’t about all her and when the antagonist has her talking on the phone with John, “Daddy… (quavering voice. Then says dead pan defiantly looking at the guy) there’s three left…” Simple. Awesome. And funny. (Especially the expression from the antagonist.)
yop that movie was perfect to kick off phase 5 in the balls honestly I don't have any hope for the future of the MCU and as Disney do best it will make of shit shhow with the MCU
Doctor strange wakes up. It was all part of his mind bending reality fkry training. None of it actually happened. And then it’s a good movie followed by other good movies
Nah bro, marvel cinematic universe is dead to me since the second avengers movie. If the person ready this enjoys the movies great enjoy them, the only time I watch them now is when someone else decides to watch them and drags me along
Honestly, I was a big fan of marvel movies up until end game, after that, every movie felt the same and really shitty the only good thing marvel has made since infinity war is the loki series 8 episode of pure greatness it is worth the watch and I wish it will get a season 2 soon
I don't really want to be super negative, but I've stopped getting excited for villains I like being in Marvel movies. They were never the best part of these movies, but lately it feels like every villain is the same disappointing rug pull as the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. There's no reason to look forward to anything since it's all just going to be one big joke. I'm not looking forward to Owen Wilson as Galactus, making jokes about not eating planets because of a fad diet he's on.
The only movie in phase 4 that was worse than this drivel was Eternals. Which considering this phase has been almost nothing but mediocre crap is really saying something.
They missed the "one really good movie" boat with Thor 4. Gorr the God Butcher was my favorite Marvel story. It could have been dark, subversive, thought-provoking and they went ahead and massacred it for cheap kiddie-appeal. And we all know they don't have the balls to make a "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Cinematic Universe" movie, so no hope there either.
It sucked so bad I walked out mid way and pirated it later . When I did walk out I went bought tickets to demon slayer movie that was out too . Mind you this the second movie I've ever walked out of .
Only good thing about this movie was Johnathan Majors, he really represents who Kang the Conquerer is, and plays him excellently. Only aspect about this pile of toxic waste that I liked.
Î saw the movie and i was like oh that will happen 3 seconds later it happened and i was like hahaha i got it right, that was the only enjoyable thing of the story (the visuals are good though). And every time i think about these really trashy storys and how much money they get i am crying because i read so many really great books online, that would make such a great series if they just get half of the budged such trash gets.
I’m 99% convinced that they chose Cassie’s actress only because she looks like a young Amber heard and at the time of filming Hollywood was in full support of her with her trial coming up.

They were never going to be able to make him NOT look stupid, Modok in the comics looks incredibly stupid, he always has, live action aint gonna change that, the dude is ugly as hell.
@@EldritchRolls 😂😂😂 sure.
@@EldritchRolls Except he still looks way better in the comics than in the movie, and his character is definitely superior. He was an actual menace and a pretty good villain, I'm pretty upset with how they did him in this movie
@@sam21best2 When making the adaptation between Comic and Movie there are always going to be losses, Animation will always be superior to Live Action in this way. Modok can't be done justice in the Live Action format without looking so terrible that most people would hate seeing him for more then a second, it would go so far into the uncanny valley that people would be throwing up in the theaters.
The MCU is so meta that in the multiverse saga about variants, every movie is just a variant of one another.
What started to be a unique movie project of films that came together in 2008 has become a soulless cashgrab machine.
I miss the times when superheroes movies had character developement and message and felt organic inside its own world like spiderman 2 was back in 2004.
I will always remember in the Deadpool when back in time to kill his x men origins version and green lantern I had the biggest smile on my face.
Nux and the Drinker still remain some of my favorite videos recently. Awesome
You should definitely watch one of his Drinker Recommends videos, because he talks about movies he genuinely enjoys and encourages others to watch, such as Predator, Jaws, the HBO Chernobyl series, Event Horizon and more
After Endgame, for some reason, I kept giving Marvel attention. That ended with the abomination that was Thor: Love & Thunder. Now, I couldn’t care less about Marvel movies.
For me, it was Doctor Strange 2. The writing was jarring enough for me to see the curtains closing around the idea of good MCU movies
@@emberdragon4248 I haven’t seen Doctor Strange 2, but I’ve heard that a lot. After Endgame, Marvel seems to be just throwing ideas and characters around trying to get something to stick with no overall plan. It’s a quantity over quality situation
Oldschool vending machines are common in the UK, where theyre full of exposed gears and wires. Hes saying her hair is mangled (also most vending machines can't even drop a chocolate bar properly so of cause hair would be destroyed if going through a vending machine)
I think the vending machine remark is a callback to an old ad about gender normality stuff. The ad shows men and women being taken care of differently by machines to put them at peek gender form and, if i remember correctly, the women gets her hair done in a vending machine looking thing. Gotta rewatch it to see how badly i misremembered things.
I think you're right at the end. Marvel's gonna hit a point where we expect some tired and soulless cash grab and they actually put out something incredible. Like Puss in Boots. Or Dungeons & Dragons apparently
Phase Four gave us a few really good things, but it was drowned out by the Mid things and the people complaining about said Mid things and making them seem horrible.
Phase 5-6 have a ton of potential to be amazing, but people are so burned out that they refuse to give things a chance anymore and just look for flaws in everything.
@@EldritchRolls You can only rehash the same plot so many times before people get tired of seeing it
@@Mare_Manexactly keep doing that and the attention will slump down faster and faster till no one will be interested anymore
Nux, I too love when twists are actually twists. Potential spoilers for overlord:
Like I recently watched season 4 of overlord and the reveal on the last episode was genuinely surprising. I suspected something was going on with the character and I knew they were probably involved somewhat but even then the reveal was still very entertaining for me. If you just have a twist for no reason it’s not good but genuinely detracts from the story, it needs to be seriously built up throughout the story line.
Not everything has to be a comedy I super hero stories. Something they forgot.
Looks almost as good as sharkboy and lavagirl
Don't insult Sharkboy and Lavagirl like that. Mr Electric was way better than Modok AND THIS MOVIE IS FROM 2005
This made me want to see what would happen if Jim Henson Studios were given the proper resources and budget to create an ideal, live-action depiction of MODOK. They're working on the FNAF movie, not to mention everything else they've worked on, so it wouldn't be the craziest idea. I hope I'm not wrong.
the worst sin of quantimania or whatever you call it is that it does not have best boi in Ant Man! You know, the guy that tells these stories in real funny ways with all those people lip sync to what he says?! I love that guy!
Luis was one of my favorite parts of Ant-Man 1 and 2!
I watching the movie and was like "Yo where the hell are Michael Pena and T.I.?" Luis and the rest of Scott's crew were highlights of the last two films.
They took everything that made the previous movies different away from them. They took the ant man out of ant man.
You know the sad part about this one is that it took 200 million dollars to make, whereas films like Everything everywhere at once and RRR took half as much or even less yet we’re so much better than this
One of the reasons I despise this movie is the fact they fucked over my adorabl little peanut Cassie! She was such a sweet, loving little girl who wanted to grow up to be like her daddy and they even handled her well in endgame (for what little screen time she had). But then they turn her out of nowhere into a tech wiz, gave her a pym suit, she mastered quantum tech, and she ends up being an unlikeable activist moron! Scott was a criminal, but he actually did genuine good as one and (even legally speaking) had paid big time for his crimes as “Robin Hood”. Cassie just intervened in a situation she had no business with, didn’t suffer any consequences such a long time in jail, didn’t learn a lesson, used her “powers” selfishly and destructively and out of nowhere hated her dad Scott despite having become an actual hero! It’s bullshit!
My favorite part about the Kang 'twist' is that it's only a twist if you didn’t watch Loki. So Marvel is relying on us to have purposely not watched some of their media in order to make their twist work.
The first movies quatuam realm was litterly just a fever dream of atoms
I still can't believe that Mudock image is real! xD
MODOK in this movie looks like Mr. Electric from the Sharkboy and Lavagirl movie. I'm sure others have pointed that out long before me, but that's the only thing I can think of every time I see the character.
I don’t get this. No matter how he looked people would have been ungrateful.
Don't insult Mr. Electric like that
@@GJ_4015 You mean when he would have actually looked menacingly evil like in the comics? And not like some guy you see at work but ignore?
I know you're a bot, but try to actually make your comments convincing in getting people to actually like the movie. Unless of course you're acting like a shill on purpose.
13:35 Well, that aged poorly.
They did modoc so dirty
at least he doesn't look like trump. Marvel comics have really gone down hill.
Do you really think they could ever do Modok well? In the comics he is Ugly as hell, he has always had a really stupid design, they pretty much did the best they could while not making him Vomit inducing with it being live action...
@@EldritchRollsfinally somebody using common sense LOL!
@@EldritchRolls Marvel actually can make him ugly yet intimidating and bad ass like Dormammu from Doctor Strange even that villain is just a big floating CGI head in that movie. I bet the art book of Quantumania has different drafts of Modok and some idiot chose the pudgy baby faced one instead of the menacing looking Modok.
@@EldritchRolls ... I've seen some pretty good MODOK designs throughout the years in the comics that are genuinely menacing and evil. Calm down for a minute and not act like a crazy fan. 😑
whats unfortunate is there WAS a really good story that made me have hope marvel would turn itself around... MoonKight. It wasnt perfect but it was a more down to earth (relatively speaking compared to universe destruction) show that covered something the movies never touched on... its a shame the movies cant dare to break away from what they have established for one moment and return to something more localized then just "yep this threat will end the universe"
14:18 there was, two actually, there called wakanda forever and Spider-Man no way home

14:15 and its gonna be spiderman related, not saying thats a bad thing of course
Nah, that movie already happened
Billys have definitely cursed Nux like King Midas. Everything he touches turns to Velma instead of gold.
There were way too many forced jokes in this ant man and I love Paul Rudd, but the only star in this was the villain easily. Plus, what they did to Modok good god wtf 😢
Ah, it’s the cgi from sharkboy and lavagirl. Glad nothing’s improved in the last two decades, apparently 😢
Antman 3 is a perfect example of EVERYTHING that's wrong with modern day cinema.
Agreed Mr. Internet Turtle man
Bruh you just wrote the thumb nail 😂
@@itsjustme6018 Literally not at all, there's still good modern shows and movies. Seriously, name one person who thinks EVERYTHING modern is trash, that there hasn't been a single good show or movie in the last few years. It's just that we've come to expect that when they make it a point that they're going to "appeal to modern audiences" it's literally just an excuse to inject their personal political opinions in an overtly preachy way. It's a stupid worthless catchphrase because "modern audiences" enjoy the exact same things that audiences have always enjoyed, and that's an interesting story with unique characters and good writing. People are tired of all the remakes, sequels and adaptations constantly, but just because that has become the standard, doesn't mean that's all there is.
@@itsjustme6018 Quote from this exact Ant-Man movie "Unpopular take, but hear me out: Socialism is a good thing." If that's the message you want to send, do it like Star-Trek did in the original series. "Show, don't tell" is widely considered to be like the golden rule of storytelling and modern day Disney can't even do it. But regardless, who the hell wants to watch a fucking superhero movie to get told "muh socialism good?" That's why I said their political messaging is usually done in an overtly preachy way. Or you could just look to Nux's new series How To (NOT) Write A Female Character, where the badly written female characters usually express feminist messaging in the exact same sort of way.
Now give me an example of someone who thinks every modern show and movie is trash. And then give me an example of people complaining about the existence of a diverse character that's actually original and not just a tokenized version of an existing character like the new Little Mermaid.
I think Ant man 3 is not a bad movie I now it well be amazing
Nux: there will be one good movie
Me:spider-man no way home exists
Never bothered to Learn about ant man never will
Thats the joke: literally evrry dumb idea can be a good story, if you think enough about the consequences. Thats why horror films work, even though they dont change everything: they tell the story and milk it until most of it is told. You dont need tropes if you just think about the plot. Like event horizon: people go on ship, murder each other and leave, from the outside. Every dumb story can be told in a smart way, there just needs to be dedication.
MODOK low key looks like N. Trance with more unnecessary human features. Might as well call him MIDOK now.
"Mom, I want Mr. Electric from Shark Boy and Lava Girl!"
"No, we have Mr.Electric at home."
Mr Electric at home:
@@Christopher15096 Why it auto corrected it to such without my consent is beyond me, but it's fixed now apologies everyone. Though another thing: I'm not your Lil Bro, I'm the complete opposite of it actually.
@@martymohawk8360 That one was way too obvious, still good nevertheless. I came up with something a lot more obscure, at least for those that have had Cash Bannoca Lore would know.
I love how nux and the drinker are good friends.
The Quantum realm began as a penal colony. Prisoners were sent there in exile. It's basically Australia.
Well that would explain why I hate it. 😁🤣
Actually I hate it BECAUSE of the visual effects. Orange blue, purple red, red purple, orange purple; repeat endlessly on a black background even if its just in a quantum bar. You know why? It's been proven that contrast of extremes from opposite sides of the color spectrum we can perceive are the most attention catching, and why you saw it on every video game and movie advertisement and poster a few years back. It's lazy to make a whole movie reds and purples. 😒
Damn. I thought I was the only one pissed I had to waste $15 on a ticket just because my family dragged me out to watch this shit even though I dropped Marvel 5 years ago. I was so fucking bored watching that crap and my family couldn't understand why despite explaining it for those past 5 years.
What about loki?
Really because I liked it, antman at the end even questions if he was the bad guy of these story asking if Kang was right just like in infinity wars learned it has its cost and he will deal with it when it comes because they choose their actions, it's a bit aimed toward kids but not bad
The superhero movie genre is starting to show off some burn out, movies like Logan or Joker were amazing because they focus more on the storytelling than the fx, they felt like a breath of fresh air after so much Marvel and DC movies, so after the first avengers and the first Dr. Strange, I stopped caring about the narrative and just enjoying the heroes and fx on screen, because it felt like a complete cycle, but they had to jerk the money cow and now we're here, searching in a tired genre something that is a rare occasion, not the rule. I see these movies with the same expectations as a Fast & Furious movie, I can enjoy it for the sake of watching superhumans, but not for the sake of the plot.
Kang in the comics is Reed Richards' father... so, ya know what's coming with the "Fantastic Four" reboot.
14:17
"There will be 1 good movie"
*cough* Guardian Of The Galaxy 3 *cough*
Modern vfx is just stuff. A screen of stuff
So the quantum realm really is a thing in the comics, but since it's basically just everything on the subatomic level there's not a lot actually going on.
What they showed is closer to the negative zone. A separate dimension with its own laws of physics and weird alien inhabitants. Seeing as it's a fantastic 4 property I'd assume they mixed things up deliberately for property rights reasons, except Kang is also a fantastic 4 character and Disney already assimilated fox, so they probably just don't give a shit about the source material.
Disney really doesn't give a shit about original material. They only care about the brand name and how it can make them money.
Just look at what they already did to their own IPs with all the shitty live action reboots. It should be enough proof.
They claim him to be in the Masters of evil issue and not fantastic four
Well claim in to be introduced to fighting avengers and then its fantastic 4

Aside from all the woke garbage, it was honestly just a meh movie. Lacked the charm of the first two, Scott lacks the energy he had in the first two films, NO FUCKING MICHAEL PENA! Also Kang the Conqueror was already set up in the Loki series, but nobody watched that. It's not a terrible movie, it's just very meh. That said, Kang the Conqueror was actually a solid villain.
@@itsjustme6018 Bro, I likely have significantly better quality of life than you do, and I am more than allowed to not enjoy a bunch of virtue signalling and preachiness being pushed at me in my entertainment media, so kindly screw off.
all im seeing is this would be much better if it was animated
They should have used Thor. Lol
Where is the link to the original video
th-cam.com/video/va_Oz_MCGR8/w-d-xo.html here you go
The stakes have never been higher! Somehow!
And for no reason!
Stan lee died and he took all the innovation and creativity of marvel with him.
Edit: it would have been better if they didn't add modok in the movie and instead teased that he was there in the shadows watching and when everyone left he would just creep out of the shadow cause now he will rule the quantum realm without anyone stopping him like it's what he does.
Video game movies are becoming the new hyped money making movie trend and Marvel movies are derailing after Endgame made Marvel Studios very cocky. What a year we’ve had.
What's going on with Disney's directors and writers? If you see who's behind each new entry, you'll find that the writers have not had any single major project in their resume but they still get casted for this multi-million dollar project so... what the hell is going on?
I think the producers arbitrarily pick less-renowned writers so they can do whatever they feel with the script, and the single role of the writer in the film is to glue together the crap the producers come up with, and to be a scapegoat when it all goes to shit. And to cap it all, directors that will sell themselves for corporate greed and will go along every single bad decision.
There is no heart in these projects, no passion, no love for the arts or the IP... just greed and nonsensical storytelling
i like some comics even though i read manga and manhwa. But isn't this what has been with all comic's since the beginning? That an incident happens but it does not have permanent consequences because then we cannot use the same villains and heroes in other stories with other writers. One of the reasons villains and heroes are never permanently killed. Because they are not written by just one person that ends with everything being trapped in time, Gwenpool once said in her comic that she have been in a comic now for 4 years but it's only 1 year had passed. While in one piece, FMA and others provide a sense of time.
14:00 well he predicted it... now came guardians of the galaxy 3
I like Marvel. I liked the MCU except for Captain Marvel up until Endgame. But the original creators who made those movies intended the series to end with Endgame. Now it feels thin, sort of stretched, like butter over too much bread. The series was already running a bit thin with the likes of Iron Man 3, and Ant-man was kind of bland and predictable from the start.
As a die-hard Marvel fan, let me say this: let the MCU die with what shred of dignity it has left. It is stifling any alternative portrayals of Marvel, and is disappointing to the fans. Let it be lain to rest. Teen Titans, the Maguire Spider-Man movies... they didn't overstay their welcome. MCU should do the same.
last velma video hit 10k see you all next time for nux's weekly suffering lol
Modoc reminds me of the George Lopez robot from Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
He’s Mr Electric
I'm so lost with Marvel, are we any closer to the next Avengers film or are we halfway? I've lost track because of the additions of shows and this.
Marvel died when Stan Lee died!!😔
Nux, you do know the drinker recommends Cowboy Bebop 😁
Random thought:
A great “strong female character?”
John McClain’s daughter.
Granted the movie was “eh” (Live Free or Die Hard) it wasn’t about all her and when the antagonist has her talking on the phone with John, “Daddy… (quavering voice. Then says dead pan defiantly looking at the guy) there’s three left…”
Simple. Awesome. And funny.
(Especially the expression from the antagonist.)
yop that movie was perfect to kick off phase 5 in the balls honestly I don't have any hope for the future of the MCU and as Disney do best it will make of shit shhow with the MCU
Doctor strange wakes up. It was all part of his mind bending reality fkry training. None of it actually happened. And then it’s a good movie followed by other good movies
One can hope
Nah bro, marvel cinematic universe is dead to me since the second avengers movie. If the person ready this enjoys the movies great enjoy them, the only time I watch them now is when someone else decides to watch them and drags me along
Honestly, I was a big fan of marvel movies up until end game, after that, every movie felt the same and really shitty the only good thing marvel has made since infinity war is the loki series 8 episode of pure greatness it is worth the watch and I wish it will get a season 2 soon
I love my little walks with drinker thru Entertainment Armageddon.
antman 3 is tron legacy with all the charm, actual world building and care stripped out
Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!
Modok? More like Mo-Dork!
I’ll see myself out
They were trying to be in space without being in space
0091st video asking Nux to watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam.
Almost to the big 100 LFG
U know when I saw modok I never bother to watch the movie it is not the first time mcu ruined a power marvel characters
Quantum… Leap… do do do… Hi I’m Turbo.
i suggest you chanell called MauLer he has 5 hour video on it all the good point
Modock kinda looks like the villain of SharkBoy and LavaGirl, Mr. Electric/Electro, idk
It looked like tales to astonish to me. Can it be spoken of even poorer? Also, jalopied?
I don't really want to be super negative, but I've stopped getting excited for villains I like being in Marvel movies. They were never the best part of these movies, but lately it feels like every villain is the same disappointing rug pull as the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. There's no reason to look forward to anything since it's all just going to be one big joke.
I'm not looking forward to Owen Wilson as Galactus, making jokes about not eating planets because of a fad diet he's on.
>"the Quantum Relam"
It's supposed to be called the "Microverse", goddamnit. That's what the realm is called in the source material. :/
The only movie in phase 4 that was worse than this drivel was Eternals. Which considering this phase has been almost nothing but mediocre crap is really saying something.
First there's denail. Then negotiation . and finally acceptance. Goodbye marvel and Disney
They missed the "one really good movie" boat with Thor 4. Gorr the God Butcher was my favorite Marvel story. It could have been dark, subversive, thought-provoking and they went ahead and massacred it for cheap kiddie-appeal. And we all know they don't have the balls to make a "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Cinematic Universe" movie, so no hope there either.
It sucked so bad I walked out mid way and pirated it later . When I did walk out I went bought tickets to demon slayer movie that was out too . Mind you this the second movie I've ever walked out of .
I love The Drinkers videos
Man doesn't even look like modak. More like a Fredrick
so... does nux not like he guardians of the galaxy series? cause i feel like they were pretty good 1 and 3 the most
Just saying it was even worse to watch as a pirated version too, everything's so dark it got pixelated. Trying to watch that in vr was cancer
The fandom menace has breached into the mainstream! Next Nerdrotic or Doomcock?
Only good thing about this movie was Johnathan Majors, he really represents who Kang the Conquerer is, and plays him excellently. Only aspect about this pile of toxic waste that I liked.
I always find it weird how the titles of these videos make these seem like collabs when its just reactions.
Î saw the movie and i was like oh that will happen 3 seconds later it happened and i was like hahaha i got it right, that was the only enjoyable thing of the story (the visuals are good though). And every time i think about these really trashy storys and how much money they get i am crying because i read so many really great books online, that would make such a great series if they just get half of the budged such trash gets.
Antman!? I prefer Pantman!
No pants man anyone?
Tbh I wondered how they would pull off beating someone that uses the stones as paper weigh using just Ant-Man and the wasp and not the heavy hitters.
but what about Jeanman?
They need to delve into Beta Ray Bill
But, I thought this version of Modok was funny and cool and a great mesh of the ridiculousness of the comics with the format of the MCU...
Riri Williams was done dirty
Hope Pym was screwed up
Marvel should probably take a five year break to rest
I’m 99% convinced that they chose Cassie’s actress only because she looks like a young Amber heard and at the time of filming Hollywood was in full support of her with her trial coming up.
There'll be that one good movie...
then they'll copy that one instead
