Oh you poor thing, you're finally at the point of " how? And "why's?" all answered by the good old BECAUSE. awwn, you're about to watch the last good Marvel movies. It all ends with Endgame. I feel for you 😔💝 Brilliant comments and accents here and there.
@@mr.e1149 You seem to think that you are replying to Jax. Which would mean you think that 1wayroad is Jax. And that they are leaving a reply on their own video. Well I'm sure we can expect brilliant insight from someone with that level of confusion.
Did they ever address how many world wide disasters would've taken place like nuclear power plants melting down due to lack of skilled workers lol planes falling from the sky n such.
@@kingjellybean9795 they very much hand-waved and glossed over secondary disasters that would result from people suddenly vanishing from critical roles.
The Ant-Man movies are such a breath of fresh air in the MCU. While they still have finagle Scott's storylines a bit here and there to mesh with the MCU's overarching plot, they have their own unique energy that's undoubtedly fun and chaotic, but also really wholesome. Scott is the Everyman hero who lets us know that you don't have to be anything more than a good dad with a kind heart who's just along for the ride and trying to do the right thing in a world full of super-soldiers, demi-gods, trained assassins, and genius billionaire playboy philanthropists.
Usesless comic Info: The Character Bill Foster (played by Laurence Fishburne in the MCU) also known as Giant-man II or Goliath fought alongside Captain America during the super hero civil war vs Ironman and his super human registration act in the comics. He was the first one to die in civil war and kicked the story into overdrive. "Thor" killed him in one of the confrontations. Later it was revealed that it wasn't Thor, Thor wasn't seen on earth for a long time because he died in Ragnarok. Tony cloned him from a strand of hair and used this fake Thor for PR for his registration act. "look, even a god supports my side!". After it got revealed what Tony did (they killed the clone-thor) a lot of heroes started to switch sides and questioned Tonys actions. Even Spider--man who lived with Tony at the time left and Tonys ego couldn't handle it, so he send a group of villains after Peter to kill him. The Civil war comic was soooooo good, these years were some of the best for comic book fans!
Hey Jax! Your reaction to the mid credits scene is exactly appropriate in my opinion. I remember seeing this in theaters. We had all been disarmed by the light-hearted, comical nature of this MCU episode when all of a sudden… SNAP!!! We see Hope, Janet & Hank turn to dust! In the theater I had a sincere sense of panic thinking about how Scott is gonna get out!
I actually felt a little bad about enjoying this reaction, knowing what was coming in the post-credits. Absolutely loving your reactions! Some things to remember going forward (without spoilers): Jimmy Woo's fascination with the close up magic, and Hawkeye was also under house arrest (which is why he was not in Infinity War). Have fun with Captain Marvel, I think it's a better movie than people give it credit for.
@@BTAColorado Absolutely, sad manchildren cried that she had the "nerve" to go straight to her own film, and wasn't the damsel in distress or side character first. They also moaned about her self-confidence, because apparently Iron Man being confident was cool, but a woman is just "bitchy". And of course, the old "overpowered" excuse. How dare a woman be one of the most powerful people in the universe, eh? It's happening again with the sequel, obviously. _Three_ female leads sent TH-camrs into meltdown! For the record, I'm a 42-year-old guy. But I'm not threatened by strong, confident women. Unlike many YTers.
@@JLRules Project, much? It didn't help that Brie Larson made so many pronouncements that anyone with a negative take on the movie was misogynist. GIRRRRL POWER!!! It's a perfectly valid criticism to say she's over-powered. She's like Superman. She's so powerful the rest of the Avengers become redundant, which is (thematically speaking) boring. DC writers had to invent Kryptonite just to make the character interesting, otherwise each issue would be Superman steps in, defeats the current villain with one of his super powers, end of story. Again. {yawn} There's no vulnerability. I'm a straight guy, and I grew up reading Poul Anderson, Robert Heinlein, and James H. Schmitz, so don't lecture me about strong women characters, mmmkay? Thematically, Larson seemed to be wooden for most of the film. I wonder if it's because she hadn't gotten a handle on the character, and stayed with a Stoic performance. The end of Ms. Marvel was fun, and I look forward to The Marvels movie; there seems to be some humor there.
@@BTAColoradoAre you ignoring all the bigotry of the producers labeling all dissent as misogyny? There was some negative reaction, but the producers were at fault as well. No one wants to be lectured.
Great reaction to another great (til the credits) Ant-Man movie! When I was a kid, one of my friends and I read the comics his dad and uncle had, which included a few comics with a non-super hero Asian character named Jimmy Woo who was an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then an FBI agent, so it was a super-secret Easter Egg from the 60s to have Jimmy Woo, FBI agent, being Scott's nanny cop. 😀 I really liked Ava/Ghost as a semi-villain in this, though Sonny Burch was the actual villain/comic relief. Learning how Ghost's every cell is torn asunder and then repaired over and over constantly and that this leaves her in constant pain feeds our sympathy for her character, even if we hate how she's going about trying to get better before she dies. Bill Foster was a great gray area character who really wants to do the best for everyone but there's so much conflict that he feels torn over what he should do to help everyone. But he was solid with the plan to try to make sure that everyone got the help they needed. Also a big thing for Ava was that, even though she could have escaped at the end, she said she wanted to stand up and accept the consequences for the awful things she had done and now regretted. And Bill stood by her. There's probably very little happy in that ending, but it is a hero's choice and not a villain's choice. I'm a fan of redemption arcs though. Freely admitted. That first post-credit scene was awful. Such a kick to the guts. 😞 On towards Endgame and the end of the MCU!
37:16 To answer your question, yes. The Snap targetted every living thing, from young to old, to alien and microbes and animals. Any sentient living species basicly.
So glad you included Cassie just beaming at the TV. That is honestly my favorite moment in the movie, a daughter proud of her dad. And I’m going to argue this is better than the first Ant-Man and a really good uplift after Infinity War. Until we get depressed again at the end. But still nice to just have fun with a movie, ya know?
Fun fact: The fish in the picture at 4:21 is called a goliath tigerfish, and not only has it been known to kill people, it's been documented attacking and taking chunks out of crocodiles. You picked a good picture for your point
I knew I'd enjoy watching your reaction to AM&W (one of my very favorite MCU movies) but watching you work through the ramifications of the ending was more entertaining than I could've hoped for! It's so much fun to see these films through someone else's eyes, especially when they are as smart, articulate, and funny as you. Keep it up!
When Thanos half of the population away on Earth he did that throughout the universe and he meant all different forms of life including animals and plants because Groot is not tree. Ant-Man and the WASP movie take place two weeks before avengers Infinity war.
Which begs the question of how many eco systems were thrown so out of balance that caused extinctions of countless lifeforms as a result? Not to mention all the ones that chose not to go on without loved ones they lost. Yet there are people who still take the side of Thanos...
I loved reading any comic with Bill Foster 'Black Goliath'. He teamed with Hulk, Thor, obviously Antman, Hercules. He was a member of the Champions and The Defenders. Love this film, love this reaction.
Scott may not have signed the Sokovia Accords, but either way he was involved in the trashing of a whole airport in a foreign country. And I'm pretty sure you don't have to literally sign the Accords in order to be bound them. Either way, 2 years of house arrest followed by probation is honestly a pretty light sentence to be honest.
BTW, that black& white movie they're watching at the "drive-in" at the end is called "Them!" from 1954, and it's one of my favorites :) Michael Giacchino, who's written music for a lot of movies and tv shows, and who directed the Marvel "Werewolf By Night" short film, is hoping to direct a remake of it.
With so many epic Marvel movies, this one is easily in my top 5, because it is so much fun! The cast is fantastic, and it's so well directed. It's got such a great sense of humor, and so many heartwarming moments. I've been enjoying seeing these again vicariously through you (and Lamby). I can't wait till you get to Endgame! You're in for quite an emotional rollercoaster.
8:56-9:00 "If Scott's on house arrest how is he making money?" Makor reason Luis dropped by his place. He's consulting. Remember he's an experienced cat burglar and has a Master's in Electrical Engineering. The plans can be brought to him, he does the planning and design elements, then sends the plans back out the door with Luis. Easy. (Even easier post 2020 when almost _every_ meeting became a conference call or zoom. 24:08-24:12 While time effectively doesn't exist in the quantum realm, in our (well, the MCU) world, things are changing with time, it would be another century from the perspective of Earth before it would be possible again, but then there wouldn't be anyone who knew Janet on Earth left to find and retrieve her. If you assume there's only 1 variable, and it changes every 3650 days (10 years) and goes from 0-9. It needs to be between 1 and 2 that would give a year that it would be in that range, but if they discovered the way to get there and the coordinates when it was at 1.999, there's a very short time before it moves past 2.0 after which it will be about 90-95 years before it comes back around. [this is a simplified explanation, because I don't know what exactly they were going for, nor do I have knowledge of quantum physics/mechanics beyond the scope of "it's very out of my league, and is predominantly not understood well by the greatest scientists of our world] ankle bracelet off and on. Since Hank knows all that anyone could know about the size altering properties of the Pym particle, I would wager it is based on "not changing the bracelet, while changing the size of the wearer." When shrunk, the ankle monitor would be a decent sized room to Scott, likewise the ant would be incredibly tiny to it, so just getting the ant to put a leg before being enlarged. when shrinking the wearer just has to "fall out of contact with it" the tricky part would when growing, getting your leg in the right position that it's not around your thigh (cutting off blood flow and prompting a lot of explanations how it got there) 27:55-27:59 "Can't you just stay tiny?" I'm sure they could, but operating on matchbox car scale, which is 1:64 so for every for every foot of the vehicle in normal size it is only 0.1875 inches, keep in mind this includes the tires, and as you reduce the size of a wheel/tire it has to dramatically increase rotations to cover the same distance. So they would have their existing speed when they shrank, but I would wager they couldn't _maintain_ a speed of more than 5 miles per hour if they stayed that small, and most people can achieve that with a brisk walk. I would presume, on the benign side, those things are coming at the vehicle Hank is in, because it's something new, they want to find out what it is (and on the less benign side possibly determine "can we eat it?"") Question about Ghost/Ava. "can she take other things with her?" Good question, I would say as handled in this movie, no. The suit can move with her because it is designed to work with her cellular/molecular instability. But most things shouldn't be able to make that transition. But her ability to manipulate things in a fully or partially phased state is a thought provoking line of inquiry. 35:07-35:09 It is Infinity War in the MCU. It's one war involving infinite possibilities (Doctor Strange only viewed the possibilities involving them, because they were in the sphere of influence of all the Infinity Stones, if you were questioning why he saw only millions of possibilities) Post credit scene concern... Since the ant playing drums is here, after the snap... What happens when someone forecloses on the house, or the house runs out of food for the ant? Post movie nightmare fuel: What if it wasn't actually Janet that we brought back from the quantum realm, but something from the quantum realm that comprehended enough about Janet from her time there, and in point of fact we have unleashed the next horror from beyond? [Never give a creative mind the opportunity to find a really twisted way to pan out your plot] of course the Thanos snap put that down, by removing the "now Janet"
Truth be told, I love the main MCU lead dads. When Barton was shown to have a family I smiled with joy, and then the next movie after Lang's relationship with Cassie warmed our hearts. There's another one about to come up for Jax that, well, melted every soul in the auditorium.
@@bigdream_dreambig I used to joke when reactors would comment, usually on Tony, but of course there are other examples "Oh he's got daddy issues" that "Daddy issues, is the theme of the MCU".
Ant-Man and the Wasp is a delightful cinematic experience that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Ant-Man and the Wasp was an excellent film! Since 1987, I've been a huge fan of Dr. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, and Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp. It was in 1993 that I became a fan of Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man. Dr. Henry Jonathan "Hank" Pym is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was brought to life by the talented team of penciller Jack Kirby, editor-plotter Stan Lee, and writer Larry Lieber. Pym first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 in January 1962. Janet van Dyne, also known as The Wasp, is a fictional character that can be found in Marvel Comics. She was brought to life by the creative minds of Stan Lee, Ernie Hart, and Jack Kirby. The character debuted in Tales to Astonish #44 in June 1963. Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, is a made-up character that can be found in Marvel Comics. He was brought to life by the creative minds of David Michelinie, Bob Layton, and John Byrne. Scott Lang debuted in The Avengers #181 in March 1979 and later appeared in Marvel Premiere #47 in April 1979. He is the second superhero in the Marvel Universe to take on the Ant-Man persona.
I love how the second post credit scene is just bleak with the ant at the end. It just felt heavy, almost relatable since we can sort of identify with the thought of a disaster, but not on the proportions of half the planet just suddenly disappearing. We know how the alert sounds like, we know what death means - even on a large scale, but we don't know how impactful this would be for us. It's relatable to a point that makes us feel unnerved.
Ghost is for sure a tragic villain but only sometimes a sympathetic one. She was willing to spread her suffering if it meant relief for her which is itself selfish and evil but also understandable. Desperation makes people do crazy things.
Yeah, you caught on quick to why no one will think to even try to rescue Scott from the quantum realm. "Scott's missing" "Yeah, along with half the universe".
@@reactswithjax I'm guessing you've already seen it by now, but Captain Marvel is horrible. Just about every guy in her life is a bad person. It's kind of like the later part of Barbie where they go to the "real world" and all the men are horrible to women, as opposed to "Barbie Land" where all the Kens are treated like accessories and basically "none people".
Hey, there was one factor that you didn't bring up re: Ghost...was Ava snapped out of existence? Because she wasn't in either post-credit scene. EDIT: The ending of this movie hits harder because the movie is so good that it makes you temporarily forget about The Snap.
I had a lot of fun watching this movie when it came out, it was a nice break from Endgame while at the same time tying into it in the end credits. I feel like it should have done way better at the box office. Totally enjoyed re-watching it through your reactions. I like how thorough you are with every scene, it feels like I am seeing these movies from a new fun perspective. Looking forward to go to the next MCU movie countdown to Endgame with you. Cheers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this reaction!! This movie was fantastic but I think it got a little overshadowed by the Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame storyline. Captain Marvel here we come!! ❤️🐑
@@reactswithjax I just realized I made a boo-boo in my first comment. I meant that the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp was a nice break from Infinity War, not a break from Endgame.
In Marvel you are going to have to get use to the term "villain". In the comics over the years they have moved away from the idea of "good guys and bad guys" and started to show how muddy those terms can be in reality. Good and bad guys are purely on perspective of the viewer.
Especially when so many "bad guys" get so popular they either become "good guys" (Scarlet Witch/Wanda and Rogue of the X-Men) or they get such compelling back stories you start to think maybe they have a point (Magneto in X-Men)... or on rare occasion, they become anti-heroes (Venom from Spiderman)
Hey Jax, I know you just posted Endgame on patreon and I was gonna save this for a little later but I think it's fine now... As you know Spider-Man: Far From Home is the end of phase 3 and with that The Infinity Saga. Here's the list of Phase 4 (which is the start of the Multiverse Saga) In ORDER: 1. WandaVision (9 episodes) 2. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (6 episodes) 3. Loki (6 episodes) 4. Black Widow (movie) 5. What If...? (9 episodes) 6. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (movie) 7. Eternals (movie) 8. Hawkeye (6 episodes) 9. Spider-Man: No Way Home (movie) 10. Moon Knight (6 episodes) 11. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (movie) 12. Ms. Marvel (6 episodes) 13. Thor: Love and Thunder (movie) 14. I Am Groot (5 shorts) 15. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (9 episodes) 16. Werewolf by Night (TV special) 17. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (movie) 18. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (TV special) This is the whole phase 4 list. Phase 5 is currently ongoing so when the time comes I'll write that list down as well. Have fun and excelsior :D
Jax, in the comic books, Ghost is an Iron Man villain? if you have watched the 3d cg cartoon, Iron Man : Armored Adventures , i really like that cartoon, and in the comic books, Ant Man created Ultron , so they sort of flipped it in these movies.
At the time of release,just about everyone hated the final end credits scene, chalking it up to a silly joke. I found it extremely haunting; the blank warning message on the TV, the world in silent disarray, and the ant continuing to play drums only further solidified the horrifying notion that Scott Lang is lost/"replaced" forever. Pretty darn unsettling, but yeah, a tad silly.
I think a lot of people felt that way about the whole movie, that it was too frivolous after the huge implications of Infinity War. That's why it rates pretty low in a lot of people's memories, but actually it's a really fun, highly watchable movie.
You might know him as Morpheus, but he's forever Gunner's Mate 3rd Class Tyrone "Mr. Clean" Miller. The way he went out wasn't fair at all. Then again that ride up the Nùng River wasn't fun...a true journey into the heart of darkness. :)
Useless ant trivia of the day; the ants with the wide open mandibles are named trapjaw ants. Their mandibles are like a bear trap; they snap closed so fast that it's quite literally the fastest single motion in the animal kingdom. If they point their mandibles at the ground and close them, they can launch themselves backwards so fast it looks like they're teleporting. You can find clips of it on TH-cam!
@@reactswithjax No, thank you. You frequently catch details I never even noticed, even on a second watch. You analyze more than the average reaction channel, imo, you even try to understand the in-world technical details. Other reaction channels are "this is how I feel, the end". And you seem so sincere... you and PiB are my top two favorites.
What's so endearing about the Ant-Man movie franchise is the focus on family dynamic, specifically the relationships between fathers and their daughters. In this one, there are three sets; Scott & Cassie, Hank & Hope and Bill & Ava. Next up : Captain Marvel! Enjoy 😊
8:55 "If Scott's under house arrest, how is he making money?" Maybe the same way that 1.2 million people are making money under prison arrest. Usually, the sentencing of a guilty criminal doesn't include provisions for that criminal's ability to earn an income. Luckily for Scott, there are some ways to make money on the internet. Maybe he does movie reaction videos? :) Or, he could try selling his body on Craigslist - I mean, he was People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2021 - I bet his "customers" would be willing to drive to his house...
I do like this move, but one thing that always bothered me is when the lab is thrown around every which way, even assuming the structure itself survives (buildings as a rule don't like being moved around much, they don't even handle a bit of side-to-side movement that well), wouldn't everything inside, all the equipment and such, be smashed worse than if the Hulk had rampaged through it?
I really was not feeling up to it today. I was not looking forward to the work project I have to work on, it was cold and I would have to be outside a good portion of the day. It was the pits! Then I remembered it is Friday and that meant Jax is reacting to a Marvel movie and my day got so much better! Wonderful reaction as always Jax! So fun watching movies with you. I know we would be fast friends IRL. And yes, Michelle Pfeiffer is always a win!
When Thano snapped his fingers using the Infinity Stones, he killed half of the universe and half of the human population, Scott was saved from the snap by chance in the quantum realm.
Jax, Sunny called Hope , "Susan", there is a Susan in Fantastic Four (2005) , can you watch that movie next? i love that movie, it was one of the pre mcu marvel movies , which are becoming more and more referenced in the newer movies you haven't watched yet.
It really made me mad how wasp wanted to get her mom back so bad but had ZERO sympathy for scott and his daughter.... like does she not realize that cass would lose her dad just so she a grown ass woman could get her mommy back?
Old guy who gets up early when Jax re-enters the MCU --- present. Comic history time --- in the same way Stephen Strange is dubbed the Sorcerer Supreme, Henry Pym is the Scientist Supreme, recognized galactically. Initially, when Ant-Man and the Wasp (Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne) founded
I wagered a friend of mine that Hope would get snapped by Thanos (loser had to buy the winner's ticket to the next Marvel film). She thought she was in the clear until Pym's mic cut off. Her reaction was the same as Jax's. And I got my ticket to Captain Marvel for free 😆
pretty sure time doesn't exist in the quantum realm, but it does in the regular world. So they had a window at that time for things to align up, which wasn't needed in the quantum realm since that is always ready, but they needed a certain time in the real world. Like saying the earth revolves around the sun and you have to wait until noon. The sun is already ready for that time it just sits there, you have to wait for the earth to move around it until its noon where you are at. The quantum realm is the sun, it's always there and ready.
Seems like you are misunderstanding the role of Ava. She is not the villain, or somewhat yes, but no as you think. She wanted to get back and not dying, and she is filled with anger from what she was told and experienced from the consequences of Hank's past. Janet has the powers to heal her yes, the same power Ava was trying to tap into. Now that she got what she wanted, by getting healed, she no longer seeks revenge. You see?
I love the moment they get dusted, you almost forget about infinity war until that moment. Also the ant playing the drums with the tv off air noise creeps me out a little
I remember that this one kind of irked me because we'd just got done with Thanos and I just wanted Endgame immediately. Then I got over it a bit, then Captain Marvel came out and I absolutely loved it (it's still one of my favorites). Captain Marvel is totally more than a movie that you "just get out of the way." Then Endgame! Then, honestly, even though Endgame is a mega-event, the movies that come after are still really great and Ant-Man's Quantumania is super good and made me appreciate the first two Ant-Man movies a lot more.
The Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel are both great films. Like you said, we all just want to get to Endgame. But I'm glad we get to savor these last few movies in phase 3.
Awesome! So you HAVE seen The Matrix! Yes, do long as Ghost was foiled and guarded against harming others, I did feel bad for Ghost! I'm pretty sure all mobile living beings are affected. Ant-Man and the Wasp are the team, yup. Yup. I like that there are villains out there that are there even if there's a big bad villain. Makes it a more realistic, even powered world. Captain Marvel next!
I saw The Matrix when it first came out and it was awesome. This movie was so much fun. I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction. Captain Marvel here we come! ❤️🐑
And btw yeah it should be half of all creatures so animals bugs fish etc but not the plants (yes groot cause he’s like alive alive, more a creature than a plant)
@8:59 I thought about how Scott could be making money while on house arrest. He could have had a legitimate online business that passed the FBI’s approval.
Nope. Thanos' snap isn't just on humans. He wanted to sacrifice 50% of all living creatures so that the other half would have a higher chance of survival and resources for that. On the one hand, Thanos is the Mad Titan for sure, on the other hand, he didn't do it with selfish intent and to achieve the goal, he himself was able to sacrifice what was dearest to him, as we have seen. Overpopulation is something to think about (and now for sure) and that's why Thanos is one of the best Big Bad villains. (Hopefully we will avoid this in the real world too).
Wow, all of life in the universe. It's possible that not every planet was experiencing overpopulation. I also imagine that some species became extinct with a dwindling population size. Thanos is a great villain!
I've always wondered why Thanos didn't use the snap to double the size of the universe, it would've had the same results but with far more grateful inhabitants of the universe
@@reactswithjax He got his nickname from that because he wanted it randomly. Some species certainly became extinct in this case. For example, Groot. He is the only one of his kind in the MCU (as far as we know).

The Ant-Man movies are such a breath of fresh air in the MCU. While they still have finagle Scott's storylines a bit here and there to mesh with the MCU's overarching plot, they have their own unique energy that's undoubtedly fun and chaotic, but also really wholesome.

"Ex" cat burglar...
Well, the first two were enjoyable. That third one... I'll hold off until I watch it again but I'm in no rush to watch it again.
This movie was actually more about relationships between fathers and their daughters. Scott & Cassie, Hank & Hope and even Bill and Ava.
He's not just a good Dad, he's the "World's Greatest Grandma!" 🙂
@@bigdream_dreambig Now..."Ant Burglar"?
Usesless comic Info: The Character Bill Foster (played by Laurence Fishburne in the MCU) also known as Giant-man II or Goliath fought alongside Captain America during the super hero civil war vs Ironman and his super human registration act in the comics.
He was the first one to die in civil war and kicked the story into overdrive. "Thor" killed him in one of the confrontations. Later it was revealed that it wasn't Thor, Thor wasn't seen on earth for a long time because he died in Ragnarok. Tony cloned him from a strand of hair and used this fake Thor for PR for his registration act. "look, even a god supports my side!".
After it got revealed what Tony did (they killed the clone-thor) a lot of heroes started to switch sides and questioned Tonys actions.
Even Spider--man who lived with Tony at the time left and Tonys ego couldn't handle it, so he send a group of villains after Peter to kill him.
The Civil war comic was soooooo good, these years were some of the best for comic book fans!
"You didn't destroy the suit?"
"It was your life's work Hank!"
I'm glad he didn't destroy the suit!

@Hydrograd57 😂 I love her genuine reactions.
Hey Jax!
Your reaction to the mid credits scene is exactly appropriate in my opinion.
I remember seeing this in theaters. We had all been disarmed by the light-hearted, comical nature of this MCU episode when all of a sudden… SNAP!!! We see Hope, Janet & Hank turn to dust! In the theater I had a sincere sense of panic thinking about how Scott is gonna get out!
I actually felt a little bad about enjoying this reaction, knowing what was coming in the post-credits. Absolutely loving your reactions! Some things to remember going forward (without spoilers): Jimmy Woo's fascination with the close up magic, and Hawkeye was also under house arrest (which is why he was not in Infinity War). Have fun with Captain Marvel, I think it's a better movie than people give it credit for.
I liked Captain Marvel, it explores story lines we knew a little more deeply and gives us a great hero. I think fandom misogyny gave it a bad rap.
Yes, remember that Scott, Clint, and Sam stayed behind to get arrested in Germany so Cap and Bucky could escape
@@BTAColorado Absolutely, sad manchildren cried that she had the "nerve" to go straight to her own film, and wasn't the damsel in distress or side character first. They also moaned about her self-confidence, because apparently Iron Man being confident was cool, but a woman is just "bitchy". And of course, the old "overpowered" excuse. How dare a woman be one of the most powerful people in the universe, eh?
It's happening again with the sequel, obviously. _Three_ female leads sent TH-camrs into meltdown!
For the record, I'm a 42-year-old guy. But I'm not threatened by strong, confident women. Unlike many YTers.
@@JLRules Project, much? It didn't help that Brie Larson made so many pronouncements that anyone with a negative take on the movie was misogynist. GIRRRRL POWER!!!
It's a perfectly valid criticism to say she's over-powered. She's like Superman. She's so powerful the rest of the Avengers become redundant, which is (thematically speaking) boring. DC writers had to invent Kryptonite just to make the character interesting, otherwise each issue would be Superman steps in, defeats the current villain with one of his super powers, end of story. Again. {yawn} There's no vulnerability.
I'm a straight guy, and I grew up reading Poul Anderson, Robert Heinlein, and James H. Schmitz, so don't lecture me about strong women characters, mmmkay?
Thematically, Larson seemed to be wooden for most of the film. I wonder if it's because she hadn't gotten a handle on the character, and stayed with a Stoic performance. The end of Ms. Marvel was fun, and I look forward to The Marvels movie; there seems to be some humor there.
@@BTAColoradoAre you ignoring all the bigotry of the producers labeling all dissent as misogyny? There was some negative reaction, but the producers were at fault as well. No one wants to be lectured.
Great reaction to another great (til the credits) Ant-Man movie!
When I was a kid, one of my friends and I read the comics his dad and uncle had, which included a few comics with a non-super hero Asian character named Jimmy Woo who was an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and then an FBI agent, so it was a super-secret Easter Egg from the 60s to have Jimmy Woo, FBI agent, being Scott's nanny cop. 😀
I really liked Ava/Ghost as a semi-villain in this, though Sonny Burch was the actual villain/comic relief. Learning how Ghost's every cell is torn asunder and then repaired over and over constantly and that this leaves her in constant pain feeds our sympathy for her character, even if we hate how she's going about trying to get better before she dies. Bill Foster was a great gray area character who really wants to do the best for everyone but there's so much conflict that he feels torn over what he should do to help everyone. But he was solid with the plan to try to make sure that everyone got the help they needed.
Also a big thing for Ava was that, even though she could have escaped at the end, she said she wanted to stand up and accept the consequences for the awful things she had done and now regretted. And Bill stood by her. There's probably very little happy in that ending, but it is a hero's choice and not a villain's choice.
I'm a fan of redemption arcs though. Freely admitted.
That first post-credit scene was awful. Such a kick to the guts. 😞
On towards Endgame and the end of the MCU!
37:16 To answer your question, yes. The Snap targetted every living thing, from young to old, to alien and microbes and animals. Any sentient living species basicly.
So glad you included Cassie just beaming at the TV. That is honestly my favorite moment in the movie, a daughter proud of her dad.
And I’m going to argue this is better than the first Ant-Man and a really good uplift after Infinity War. Until we get depressed again at the end. But still nice to just have fun with a movie, ya know?
they made cassie such a great character in these, just fully on her dads side through thick and thin, willing to lie to cops at all times lmfaoo
Ankle bracelet: they shrank Scott while he was wearing it to get it off, and vice versa to get it back onto Scott
But also, they built a quantum tunnel, they could have figured out how to disable it.
Fun fact: The fish in the picture at 4:21 is called a goliath tigerfish, and not only has it been known to kill people, it's been documented attacking and taking chunks out of crocodiles. You picked a good picture for your point
I knew I'd enjoy watching your reaction to AM&W (one of my very favorite MCU movies) but watching you work through the ramifications of the ending was more entertaining than I could've hoped for! It's so much fun to see these films through someone else's eyes, especially when they are as smart, articulate, and funny as you. Keep it up!
When Thanos half of the population away on Earth he did that throughout the universe and he meant all different forms of life including animals and plants because Groot is not tree. Ant-Man and the WASP movie take place two weeks before avengers Infinity war.
Which begs the question of how many eco systems were thrown so out of balance that caused extinctions of countless lifeforms as a result? Not to mention all the ones that chose not to go on without loved ones they lost.
Yet there are people who still take the side of Thanos...
@@psychokitty9325Not everyone is wise enough to understand those little things.
I loved reading any comic with Bill Foster 'Black Goliath'. He teamed with Hulk, Thor, obviously Antman, Hercules. He was a member of the Champions and The Defenders. Love this film, love this reaction.
Scott may not have signed the Sokovia Accords, but either way he was involved in the trashing of a whole airport in a foreign country. And I'm pretty sure you don't have to literally sign the Accords in order to be bound them. Either way, 2 years of house arrest followed by probation is honestly a pretty light sentence to be honest.
Shoulda got off "scott free"
@25:21 There’s something so sweet and endearing about the way Cassie says that.
BTW, that black& white movie they're watching at the "drive-in" at the end is called "Them!" from 1954, and it's one of my favorites :) Michael Giacchino, who's written music for a lot of movies and tv shows, and who directed the Marvel "Werewolf By Night" short film, is hoping to direct a remake of it.
With so many epic Marvel movies, this one is easily in my top 5, because it is so much fun! The cast is fantastic, and it's so well directed. It's got such a great sense of humor, and so many heartwarming moments. I've been enjoying seeing these again vicariously through you (and Lamby). I can't wait till you get to Endgame! You're in for quite an emotional rollercoaster.
I'm so glad you are enjoying watching these films with me! They have been so much fun. Endgame is going to be epic!! ❤️🎉
Try it on the third Antman movie which they made this year. Kathryn Newton was casted to play Cassie now 18 years old.
8:56-9:00 "If Scott's on house arrest how is he making money?"
Makor reason Luis dropped by his place. He's consulting. Remember he's an experienced cat burglar and has a Master's in Electrical Engineering. The plans can be brought to him, he does the planning and design elements, then sends the plans back out the door with Luis. Easy. (Even easier post 2020 when almost _every_ meeting became a conference call or zoom.
24:08-24:12
While time effectively doesn't exist in the quantum realm, in our (well, the MCU) world, things are changing with time, it would be another century from the perspective of Earth before it would be possible again, but then there wouldn't be anyone who knew Janet on Earth left to find and retrieve her. If you assume there's only 1 variable, and it changes every 3650 days (10 years) and goes from 0-9. It needs to be between 1 and 2 that would give a year that it would be in that range, but if they discovered the way to get there and the coordinates when it was at 1.999, there's a very short time before it moves past 2.0 after which it will be about 90-95 years before it comes back around. [this is a simplified explanation, because I don't know what exactly they were going for, nor do I have knowledge of quantum physics/mechanics beyond the scope of "it's very out of my league, and is predominantly not understood well by the greatest scientists of our world]
ankle bracelet off and on. Since Hank knows all that anyone could know about the size altering properties of the Pym particle, I would wager it is based on "not changing the bracelet, while changing the size of the wearer." When shrunk, the ankle monitor would be a decent sized room to Scott, likewise the ant would be incredibly tiny to it, so just getting the ant to put a leg before being enlarged. when shrinking the wearer just has to "fall out of contact with it" the tricky part would when growing, getting your leg in the right position that it's not around your thigh (cutting off blood flow and prompting a lot of explanations how it got there)
27:55-27:59 "Can't you just stay tiny?"
I'm sure they could, but operating on matchbox car scale, which is 1:64 so for every for every foot of the vehicle in normal size it is only 0.1875 inches, keep in mind this includes the tires, and as you reduce the size of a wheel/tire it has to dramatically increase rotations to cover the same distance. So they would have their existing speed when they shrank, but I would wager they couldn't _maintain_ a speed of more than 5 miles per hour if they stayed that small, and most people can achieve that with a brisk walk.
I would presume, on the benign side, those things are coming at the vehicle Hank is in, because it's something new, they want to find out what it is (and on the less benign side possibly determine "can we eat it?"")
Question about Ghost/Ava. "can she take other things with her?"
Good question, I would say as handled in this movie, no. The suit can move with her because it is designed to work with her cellular/molecular instability. But most things shouldn't be able to make that transition. But her ability to manipulate things in a fully or partially phased state is a thought provoking line of inquiry.
35:07-35:09 It is Infinity War in the MCU. It's one war involving infinite possibilities (Doctor Strange only viewed the possibilities involving them, because they were in the sphere of influence of all the Infinity Stones, if you were questioning why he saw only millions of possibilities)
Post credit scene concern... Since the ant playing drums is here, after the snap... What happens when someone forecloses on the house, or the house runs out of food for the ant?
Post movie nightmare fuel: What if it wasn't actually Janet that we brought back from the quantum realm, but something from the quantum realm that comprehended enough about Janet from her time there, and in point of fact we have unleashed the next horror from beyond? [Never give a creative mind the opportunity to find a really twisted way to pan out your plot] of course the Thanos snap put that down, by removing the "now Janet"
Scott Lang is the best Dad in the MCU. No offense with the people who have daddy issues.
Given he’s an ex-con, you can understand why people think “little” of him 🥁😂
Truth be told, I love the main MCU lead dads. When Barton was shown to have a family I smiled with joy, and then the next movie after Lang's relationship with Cassie warmed our hearts. There's another one about to come up for Jax that, well, melted every soul in the auditorium.
The biggest common thread through the whole MCU (at least through Phase 3) seems to be "Daddy issues"!
@@bigdream_dreambig I used to joke when reactors would comment, usually on Tony, but of course there are other examples "Oh he's got daddy issues" that "Daddy issues, is the theme of the MCU".
@@Logan_Baron I agree 100%! The one I noticed most reactors picking up on first was Thor and Loki versus Odin.
Ant-Man and the Wasp is a delightful cinematic experience that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Ant-Man and the Wasp was an excellent film! Since 1987, I've been a huge fan of Dr. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man, and Janet Van Dyne, the original Wasp. It was in 1993 that I became a fan of Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man. Dr. Henry Jonathan "Hank" Pym is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was brought to life by the talented team of penciller Jack Kirby, editor-plotter Stan Lee, and writer Larry Lieber. Pym first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27 in January 1962. Janet van Dyne, also known as The Wasp, is a fictional character that can be found in Marvel Comics. She was brought to life by the creative minds of Stan Lee, Ernie Hart, and Jack Kirby. The character debuted in Tales to Astonish #44 in June 1963. Scott Lang, also known as Ant-Man, is a made-up character that can be found in Marvel Comics. He was brought to life by the creative minds of David Michelinie, Bob Layton, and John Byrne. Scott Lang debuted in The Avengers #181 in March 1979 and later appeared in Marvel Premiere #47 in April 1979. He is the second superhero in the Marvel Universe to take on the Ant-Man persona.
Your mood swings throughout the film remembering Thanos were hilarious 🤣 Great react 🤗
well then again she's an actress so she acts. Overacts sometimes yes but just take it as it is.
I love how the second post credit scene is just bleak with the ant at the end. It just felt heavy, almost relatable since we can sort of identify with the thought of a disaster, but not on the proportions of half the planet just suddenly disappearing. We know how the alert sounds like, we know what death means - even on a large scale, but we don't know how impactful this would be for us. It's relatable to a point that makes us feel unnerved.
That's a great way to describe it. It was a very unnerving scene.
@@reactswithjax Half of all life in the galaxy ended with a snap. Animals as well I would imagine.
38:25 the question mark is to mess with your head lol.
Ghost is for sure a tragic villain but only sometimes a sympathetic one. She was willing to spread her suffering if it meant relief for her which is itself selfish and evil but also understandable. Desperation makes people do crazy things.
Scott: “Do you guys just put the word ‘quantum’ in front of everything?”
Kevin Feige: “After phase four we do.”
It´s K.E.V.I.N.
There's quite literally only *ONE* movie in phases five or six with the word "quantum" in them?
Yeah, you caught on quick to why no one will think to even try to rescue Scott from the quantum realm. "Scott's missing" "Yeah, along with half the universe".
This was such a fun movie. Loved your reaction as always. Oh yeah the end credits blew me away in the theater. 😯😯
Thank you!! Yeah, this movie was exactly what was needed to lighten the spirits after Infinity War. Then the post credit scene happened...lol
@@reactswithjax I'm guessing you've already seen it by now, but Captain Marvel is horrible. Just about every guy in her life is a bad person. It's kind of like the later part of Barbie where they go to the "real world" and all the men are horrible to women, as opposed to "Barbie Land" where all the Kens are treated like accessories and basically "none people".
@@reactswithjax There were actual wails of grief in the theatre where I saw this. Followed quickly by a few shouts of "too soon!!"
Just a fun fact: Yes, animals and the like are affected by Thanos' snap. All life in the universe, but it doesn't seem like plant life.
I was wondering about plants.
Hey, there was one factor that you didn't bring up re: Ghost...was Ava snapped out of existence? Because she wasn't in either post-credit scene. EDIT: The ending of this movie hits harder because the movie is so good that it makes you temporarily forget about The Snap.
I had a lot of fun watching this movie when it came out, it was a nice break from Endgame while at the same time tying into it in the end credits. I feel like it should have done way better at the box office. Totally enjoyed re-watching it through your reactions. I like how thorough you are with every scene, it feels like I am seeing these movies from a new fun perspective. Looking forward to go to the next MCU movie countdown to Endgame with you. Cheers.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this reaction!! This movie was fantastic but I think it got a little overshadowed by the Avengers: Infinity War/Endgame storyline. Captain Marvel here we come!! ❤️🐑
@@reactswithjax I just realized I made a boo-boo in my first comment. I meant that the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp was a nice break from Infinity War, not a break from Endgame.
that moon shirt is amazing!
Jax, i am a toy collector, i was disappointed that they didn't do a crossover toy with Hot Wheels for this movie
Thanos didn't wiped out half human population. He wiped out half of living things in the entire universe.
So yeah it means animals as well.
Thank goodness Scott and Hope weren't blessed by a full-sized pigeon poop while riding in the miniature car!
Hahahaha! That would have been deadly and smelly.
❤❤❤ a great channel 👍 👏 👌
4:55 I loved that Office episode. How Jim and Pam pranked Dwight together was amazing. Season Nine episode "Andy's Ancestry"
Yes!! 100 Lamby Points to you my friend! ❤️🐑❤️🐑
Love your shirt, and your post credit reaction was perfect! I also freaked out when I first watched this one - right back to the trauma 😊
Thank you so much! Haha, that post credit scene was so brutal.
In Marvel you are going to have to get use to the term "villain". In the comics over the years they have moved away from the idea of "good guys and bad guys" and started to show how muddy those terms can be in reality. Good and bad guys are purely on perspective of the viewer.
Especially when so many "bad guys" get so popular they either become "good guys" (Scarlet Witch/Wanda and Rogue of the X-Men) or they get such compelling back stories you start to think maybe they have a point (Magneto in X-Men)... or on rare occasion, they become anti-heroes (Venom from Spiderman)
New to this channel. Lovin’ Jax and Lambie! Ha. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks so much for watching! 🐑🎉

Jax, in the comic books, Ghost is an Iron Man villain? if you have watched the 3d cg cartoon, Iron Man : Armored Adventures , i really like that cartoon, and in the comic books, Ant Man created Ultron , so they sort of flipped it in these movies.
Now, it’s time for Captain Marvel - the last film before it’s Endgame time.
At the time of release,just about everyone hated the final end credits scene, chalking it up to a silly joke. I found it extremely haunting; the blank warning message on the TV, the world in silent disarray, and the ant continuing to play drums only further solidified the horrifying notion that Scott Lang is lost/"replaced" forever. Pretty darn unsettling, but yeah, a tad silly.
I think a lot of people felt that way about the whole movie, that it was too frivolous after the huge implications of Infinity War. That's why it rates pretty low in a lot of people's memories, but actually it's a really fun, highly watchable movie.
I never thought about this before, but when Janet went subatomic, she said, "Tell Hope I love her," but she didn't tell Hank she loved him.
Aaaw, poor Hank.
I waited the whole video for your reaction to the ending, lol. It was so worth it! 😂
I know. Don't you feel so evil? :)
I thought AMATW was meaningless before Endgame, but this heist flick was a good respite after T'Challa and Bucky died.
You might know him as Morpheus, but he's forever Gunner's Mate 3rd Class Tyrone "Mr. Clean" Miller.
The way he went out wasn't fair at all. Then again that ride up the Nùng River wasn't fun...a true journey into the heart of darkness. :)
Useless ant trivia of the day; the ants with the wide open mandibles are named trapjaw ants.
Their mandibles are like a bear trap; they snap closed so fast that it's quite literally the fastest single motion in the animal kingdom.
If they point their mandibles at the ground and close them, they can launch themselves backwards so fast it looks like they're teleporting. You can find clips of it on TH-cam!
Wow! That's really cool. I never knew that.
Nihilistic Jax is killing me. 😂
In the comics Bill Foster was known as Black Goliath.
I like this girls reactions. She's a deep thinker and pretty observant.
Thank you so much!
@@reactswithjax No, thank you. You frequently catch details I never even noticed, even on a second watch. You analyze more than the average reaction channel, imo, you even try to understand the in-world technical details. Other reaction channels are "this is how I feel, the end".
And you seem so sincere... you and PiB are my top two favorites.
I loved Jax's " face like a smacked arse " when she was reminded of " The ( Infinity ) War! " :)
What's so endearing about the Ant-Man movie franchise is the focus on family dynamic, specifically the relationships between fathers and their daughters. In this one, there are three sets; Scott & Cassie, Hank & Hope and Bill & Ava.
Next up : Captain Marvel! Enjoy 😊
I agree! I love Scott and Cassie's relationship. Thanks for watching! ❤️🐑
Remember when Jax said she is not looking forward to Ant-Man and the Wasp...
This movie was actually a lot of fun...until the post credit scene!
8:55 "If Scott's under house arrest, how is he making money?"
Maybe the same way that 1.2 million people are making money under prison arrest.
Usually, the sentencing of a guilty criminal doesn't include provisions for that criminal's ability to earn an income.
Luckily for Scott, there are some ways to make money on the internet.
Maybe he does movie reaction videos? :)
Or, he could try selling his body on Craigslist - I mean, he was People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2021 - I bet his "customers" would be willing to drive to his house...
11:15 , Hey Jax… Would you say that he was… “A-Salted..?” 😂
.
I’ll see myself out now.
that was exactly what i said too lol.
I do like this move, but one thing that always bothered me is when the lab is thrown around every which way, even assuming the structure itself survives (buildings as a rule don't like being moved around much, they don't even handle a bit of side-to-side movement that well), wouldn't everything inside, all the equipment and such, be smashed worse than if the Hulk had rampaged through it?
hahah that dot changing into a question mark was so good XD
I really was not feeling up to it today. I was not looking forward to the work project I have to work on, it was cold and I would have to be outside a good portion of the day. It was the pits! Then I remembered it is Friday and that meant Jax is reacting to a Marvel movie and my day got so much better! Wonderful reaction as always Jax! So fun watching movies with you. I know we would be fast friends IRL. And yes, Michelle Pfeiffer is always a win!
Take it easy, Everything gon be alright brother, slow down a bit and enjoy.
When Thano snapped his fingers using the Infinity Stones, he killed half of the universe and half of the human population, Scott was saved from the snap by chance in the quantum realm.
This was one of the first Stan Lee Cameos we saw in theaters after Stan Lee passed away.
Jax, Sunny called Hope , "Susan", there is a Susan in Fantastic Four (2005) , can you watch that movie next? i love that movie, it was one of the pre mcu marvel movies , which are becoming more and more referenced in the newer movies you haven't watched yet.
It really made me mad how wasp wanted to get her mom back so bad but had ZERO sympathy for scott and his daughter.... like does she not realize that cass would lose her dad just so she a grown ass woman could get her mommy back?
Old guy who gets up early when Jax re-enters the MCU --- present.
Comic history time --- in the same way Stephen Strange is dubbed the Sorcerer Supreme, Henry Pym is the Scientist Supreme, recognized galactically.
Initially, when Ant-Man and the Wasp (Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne) founded
Yes Thanos’ Snap wiped out half of *all* living creatures in the universe.
You took everything from me.
We needed this movie to cheers us up after what happen in Infinity War.
4:48 Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica. 😁
34:25 The false sense of security here is palpable. 😱🤣
Hahaha! Yes! 100 Lamby points to you ❤️🐑
@@reactswithjax I am honoured, Mi'Lady.
I wagered a friend of mine that Hope would get snapped by Thanos (loser had to buy the winner's ticket to the next Marvel film). She thought she was in the clear until Pym's mic cut off. Her reaction was the same as Jax's. And I got my ticket to Captain Marvel for free 😆
pretty sure time doesn't exist in the quantum realm, but it does in the regular world. So they had a window at that time for things to align up, which wasn't needed in the quantum realm since that is always ready, but they needed a certain time in the real world. Like saying the earth revolves around the sun and you have to wait until noon. The sun is already ready for that time it just sits there, you have to wait for the earth to move around it until its noon where you are at. The quantum realm is the sun, it's always there and ready.
This movie takes place during Infinity War.
Seems like you are misunderstanding the role of Ava. She is not the villain, or somewhat yes, but no as you think. She wanted to get back and not dying, and she is filled with anger from what she was told and experienced from the consequences of Hank's past. Janet has the powers to heal her yes, the same power Ava was trying to tap into. Now that she got what she wanted, by getting healed, she no longer seeks revenge. You see?
"Get some closure after Infinity War...."
Yeah, the closure here is a thing.
The Wasp and Ant-Man were both Avengers before Captain America was.
I love the moment they get dusted, you almost forget about infinity war until that moment. Also the ant playing the drums with the tv off air noise creeps me out a little
4:46 Pete the Logic Rock before Human Resources.
Endgame is not the end of the story. Spiderman, Far From Home, wraps up a lot of the questions that you will have after Endgame.
lol her heart cannot get a break.
Ironman is my favorite super hero. The Antman movies are good though
Scott gets shook out of the quantum realm by the snap. He doesn’t even know how it happened.
I’ll never forget (one of the) people in front of me when we saw this in the theatre. He hadn’t seen Infinity War so his reaction was so funny.
Hahaha! Oh no, he had some catching up to do.
Thanos wiped out half of all living creatures
I remember that this one kind of irked me because we'd just got done with Thanos and I just wanted Endgame immediately. Then I got over it a bit, then Captain Marvel came out and I absolutely loved it (it's still one of my favorites). Captain Marvel is totally more than a movie that you "just get out of the way." Then Endgame! Then, honestly, even though Endgame is a mega-event, the movies that come after are still really great and Ant-Man's Quantumania is super good and made me appreciate the first two Ant-Man movies a lot more.
The Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel are both great films. Like you said, we all just want to get to Endgame. But I'm glad we get to savor these last few movies in phase 3.
That Office episode with Asian Jim is "Andy's Ancestory" in Season 9 of the Office!!
100 LAMBY POINTS TO YOU! ❤️🐑❤️🐑
And Pete the Logic Rock before Human Resources.
42:17 Nice really cute little puzzles and facts lammy comes up with. Really thoughtful 😂
Thank you! ❤️🐑
14:16 Parallel realities. Sounds like a concept in Avengers Endgame.
hey jax, looking good as always
dialogue at 34:00-34:25 between scott and agent woo is improvised
Thank you! That is SO COOL!!!
You are the biggest, cutest nerd I've seen reacting to the MCU and I'm loving it. 😂
Awesome! So you HAVE seen The Matrix! Yes, do long as Ghost was foiled and guarded against harming others, I did feel bad for Ghost! I'm pretty sure all mobile living beings are affected. Ant-Man and the Wasp are the team, yup. Yup. I like that there are villains out there that are there even if there's a big bad villain. Makes it a more realistic, even powered world. Captain Marvel next!
I saw The Matrix when it first came out and it was awesome. This movie was so much fun. I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction. Captain Marvel here we come! ❤️🐑
Great reaction Jax it's amazing watching these with you 😀 👍 👌
That ending gave me chills 🔥🔥🔥
Someone in the theater screamed Feige! 😂
@@rufus5966 😂
Ghost is actually set to appear in “thunderbolts” coming out in 2025!
Yes ants were affected by the snap.
Poor ants...and sheep.
37:15 Yes, animals are impacted 😢😢 50% of all population 😢
Yikes! That's terrible.
Hi Jax, waiting for your reaction of Capt. Marvel before Avengers EndGame ❤
And btw yeah it should be half of all creatures so animals bugs fish etc but not the plants (yes groot cause he’s like alive alive, more a creature than a plant)
@8:59 I thought about how Scott could be making money while on house arrest. He could have had a legitimate online business that passed the FBI’s approval.
Nope. Thanos' snap isn't just on humans. He wanted to sacrifice 50% of all living creatures so that the other half would have a higher chance of survival and resources for that. On the one hand, Thanos is the Mad Titan for sure, on the other hand, he didn't do it with selfish intent and to achieve the goal, he himself was able to sacrifice what was dearest to him, as we have seen. Overpopulation is something to think about (and now for sure) and that's why Thanos is one of the best Big Bad villains. (Hopefully we will avoid this in the real world too).
Wow, all of life in the universe. It's possible that not every planet was experiencing overpopulation. I also imagine that some species became extinct with a dwindling population size. Thanos is a great villain!
I've always wondered why Thanos didn't use the snap to double the size of the universe, it would've had the same results but with far more grateful inhabitants of the universe
@@reactswithjax He got his nickname from that because he wanted it randomly. Some species certainly became extinct in this case. For example, Groot. He is the only one of his kind in the MCU (as far as we know).
