I like the theory that in the previous ant man movies she hadn’t had the encounter with Kang, which is why she never told anybody, but that once He Who Remains was killed outside of Time in Loki it had a retroactive effect even on the main MCU timeline, making it so that Janet had met a Kang who was now in the Quantum Realm. So while she does hide things in this movie, she wasn’t hiding it in the last movie because it hadn’t happened.
@@brianburkhardt3692 correct if I’m wrong but she didn’t show up in last movie til the end from the quantum realm right? But at some point you would think btwn then and getting sucked into the quantum realm you would grant us the courtesy of saying “hey there’s timeline destroying maniac in there should probably leave it alone”
@@pegasusj4655 Exactly. Instead she decides to keep quiet about it and try and act all mysterious, as if telling people there is a threat worse than Thanos that cannot escape the Quantum Realm would make things worse. They literally just had to leave him there and he'd die of old age eventually.
@@pegasusj4655 yeah, she gets saved from the Quantum Realm in probably the last third of the movie (it’s not the very end, but it is toward the end). But that’s before Endgame and the time Heist when 2012 Loki escapes, setting in motion the events of Loki and removal of He Who Remains. So, going by that theory, she didn’t know about Kang until after being saved and the events of Endgame. She wasn’t against going back into the QR at the end of Ant Man & The Wasp to collect particles for Ghost. It could be that it wasn’t deep enough to warrant her worrying, or it could be that at that point she had no reason to worry. He Who Remains says that he has been keeping the other Kangs from appearing in the sacred (main MCU) timeline. So if that were true, then the outcast Kang and the rest of the council in this movie didn’t exist. Once he was killed by Sylvie, the other Kangs popped into existence at all points in time they would have been had HWR not pruned their existence. So it’s only after his death that Janet meeting a Kang can even happen, therefor it is almost certain that she had not met a Kang in the previous movie, and only after Loki does she retroactively have met him and have reason to worry about him finding her again.
I mean… I felt they did a decent job making it feel like she was waiting for them to have a bit of breathing room to discuss it. It’s not like the movie waited that long.
I love that Scott and Loki are two characters who now have this one huge thing of being the two characters that have truly confronted Kang and know what he can actually be I love the fear on Scott’s face throughout the ending it’s almost similar to what Tony went through in Iron Man 3 after going into space in Avengers
I think my favorite part of the whole reaction was Eric seeing the ball of energy sucking everything into the Quantumrealm and he said “PUT A CUP OVER IT” like it’s a wasp😂
9:46 - 10:10 If you look at the creatures with head type of color stone, they said it is infinity stones. In Endgame, Thanos did said he reduced it into atom. That is crazy.
I thought the "great shame," in Eric's words, that Janet is facing was the fact that she helped Kang regain his suit, which in turn allowed him to build his Quantum Realm kingdom.
I mean, these Hollywood.. especially Disney flicks are quite predictable... same formula same endings (also why infinity war was the best marvel made) ...but of course everyone who dies WE SEE the body of... comes back.. or not? Oh we'll grab a duplicate from another time-line!!!
@@mandelorean6243 infinity war isn't good because it ended with a loss... every movie has a loss halfway through, infinity war and endgame are 1 story, and it has a loss in the middle, a darkest hour point, which every other marvel movie also has. it's an amazing movie, but thats not why
100% agreed. The issues i have with this film can be summed up with, it feels like an Ant-Man filmed ashamed to just be an Ant-Man film. They cut most of the elements that worked and people enjoyed in the first two, just to try and tell such a big and grand story on par with The Avengers films (which the director even said he wanted to do). Ant-Man 1 and even 2 by a lot of people were loved for what they were, and that didn't need to be changed
The thing that Janet was so ashamed of was that she helped Kang get his suit and tech back. On some level she is responsible for him being able to conquer and terrorise the quantum realm. And then she left, knowing what he was still doing to people down there.
It's no coincidence that Kang's suit looks like Doctor Doom. In the comics he originated in the future as a scientist (relayed by He Who Remains) who discovers Doom tech, and uses it to time travel. He believes he is a descendant of both Victor von Doom and Nathaniel Richards (his namesake, and son of Reed and Sue).
People say that Kang in Quantumania was underwhelming, and I could see that the first part, but in reality Kang is weakened in this film. A lot of people don't really understand that. Kang is weakened because he is in the Quantumn Realm. Now, if Kang was outside of the Quantumn Realm and had access to time, then Kang would have been more capable and more powerful like traveling through time, manipulating time, and summoning any weapon from any point in time just like in the comics. And I liked how they did this because it proves that a weak Kang, or even the weakest Kang, can be a big threat, like how Kang conquered the Quantumn Realm, like a whole dimension basically, a weakened Kang conquered a whole dimension. It just goes to show the capability of Kang, and I hope that they can expand on this Kang stuff like every Kang after the one in Quantumania will be stronger and stronger just showing the danger of Kang as a whole.
Finally, someone who understands! Is this movie perfect and qualified to be a masterpiece? Probably not. However, people don’t seem to understand how characters like Kang, Ironman, Doctor Doom, etc. archetypes work. The tech-based characters abilities can allow them to jump tiers depending on the amount of preparation time and resources that they have. Their whole shtick with these types of characters is that their successes and victories are very dependent on their prep time, the amount of technological resources they have, etc. Iron man’s standard armour for example, wouldnt stand a chance against the hulk. However, with Hulkbuster, he is able to hold his own against the Hulk, even if he isn’t able to beat him. Doctor Doom with prep time and resources, has often absorbed the powers of other beings in the comics. This is a Kang who was banished, meaning that he had to be stripped of all the actual important technology. After all, what fool would banish and seal someone while giving them all the resources they need to escape? Plus as you said, its more cooler to realize that this is what Kang could do, with the limited amount of resources he had access to. Imagine if he had access to ALL and I mean, ALL his resources. THAT would be Kang at his most dangerous. I know the movie isnt perfect but why dont people seem to understand this? The fact that Ant man could solo a heavily handicapped Kang, is actually an impressive feat for Ant Man and not a disappointing record for Kang. Ant man is always severely underestimated by the audience themselves. Why is it to unfathomable that Ant Man could hold his own like that in the movie? In the comics, he has grown big enough to enter a different dimension if I recall correctly. He is just as much of a threat as Thor or the Hulk. So we shouldnt even be saying, “How could ant man of all people beat Kang”. Instead we should be saying, “Finally, the movie shows just how OP and Hax and Busted Ant man’s abilities can be”.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt I mean, if that’s how you feel then that’s perfectly fine. Perhaps with a better script and writing and opportunity for greater range, he might get to shine a little bit more. So long as people at least understand what we mean when we say this isn’t Kang’s absolute best, then thats fine.
Yes! Someone else gets it, the first time I saw the movie I thought the same thing immediately, this is like the weakest most nerfed version of Kang, and it still gave ant man a run for his money. I also like Kang in the movie, maybe is not the best performance but I still like it, I really like characters that can manipulate time and/or space to such extent for their own purposes, I get such like Rich Sanchez vibes from Kang, and the futility and naivety of the rest of the characters that interact with him, I love it XD
Something occurred to me when i watched this, He Who Remains said if he died another version of him would end up right back there, and i think this version of Kang was going to be the new iteration of He Who Remains, and with him dead there will be no Kang to stop the Multiversal War, Antman and Wasp accidentally killed the only "good" Kang
Interesting. This Kang was also an outcast, not working with the council in a similar way to He Who Remains. Maybe he’s like a less successful version who instead of going on to stop the others from existing he failed and was cast out.
@@TomVCunningham im leaning more towards the idea that this IS Kang the Conqueror's base form and he didnt want to work with hte dynasty, but unlike he who remains, he didn't want to keep a tight lid on a universe but to control all of it and nuke it. But what i think is interesting is that this kang is stuck in a probability storm... maybe when he's able to finally come to terms with all the other probability kangs of himself, the ONLY ONE who survives it is the "ultimate kang the conqueror" who has "beat all the odds" and is the real threat since he's lived against all other iterations and came out on top, like a simulation, and i think what Eric Vauss said about antman being stuck in a probability storm with kang right now also is interesting maybe, him and hope never got out of the quantum world, and they're stuck in that simulation loop or whatever until one of them breaks out the other.
@@tehdouglas1 Shut your mouth. Were you with him when he did what you accuse him of? You must be one of those who accused Johnny Depp. Continue to slander people with your hatred. And Karma will take care of answering you.
The part I love best is the ending, you see purple and green hints everywhere at the party and when he is walking, and when he panics its around the time a background character walks past him a second time! Its like a timeline hiccup from Kang dying
The ending is suss as hell with the amount of green and purple (Kang colors) after their return. The cake, the balloons... I wouldn't be surprised if he was dumped someplace like when Loki had to relive it over and over.
Janet did do something she felt great shame for, she helped Kane fix his pod. Even after she stopped him from escaping he still had his suit which brought hardship on everyone down there.
The subtlety of that Hank Pym/Kang face off... the two greatest scientists of their generations. Hank created the pym particle which opens the quantum realm, and Kang discovered the multiverse entirely.
I mean, the benefit of us having touch the multiverse in the MCU (specifically in Far From Home) is that we’ve seen that the same character doesn’t always have to look alike, and can be played by different actors - so Majors can be recast. The downside is that that after-credits scene certainly implied that the majority of them look like him…
The ants don't need to have developed Pym technology, they just need to have been unevenly dragged into the QR when everyone else was. Every time you see a character become giant in this movie they are actually becoming _fractionally_ less tiny than they just were, its all just relative.
I don't hate this film as much as some people do - yeah the CGI kinda wack and it's not a typical Ant Man film, but it's still got the humour and I think Kang was well portrayed. My biggest issue with it was that they had the perfect opportunity to let Hope and Scott pass the torch and *actually* die/get stuck, and that would've made the film stick a good bit more imo.
I enjoyed this movie for what it was. The criticisms of it are totally valid. I enjoyed MODOK (Can't imagine doing that character seriously but that's just me). The script was rough at times but there was enough fun and cool ideas that it got me thru the movie without being bored. 6/10.
I know I'm in the vast minority, but this is my favorite post credit scene of the MCU. Not only is it a cool and sinister set up that's ripped straight from the splash page, but I find it amazing that this whole scene is just one actor getting to do all the roles
1:08:49 I’m so glad Eric brought this up, so many legends in comics like Kirby, Ditko, Giffens, Peter David, Bill Finger, and just an uncountable amount more have added so much to this industry to make it what it is today, and the fact that many of them go unthanked and unpaid for their work is a shame; I saw James Gun put John Ostrander in The Suicide Squad, and I hope, at least for the DC movies, they keep including other writers, artists, and creators that impacted the character and the business of comics as a whole!
I was just thinking to myself yesterday "Haven't they seen this movie yet?" It's not the best Marvel movie but it's not really that bad, I also didn't stop laughing every time they saw Modoc's disturbing and huge face Wow I am so waiting for Loki season 2
Some people think that ending scene with Scott might not be real because there's a heavy use of the color Purple throughout it, a bunch of people wearing vibrant purple shirts, purple balloons etc. Probably a stretch, but that with the brief moment where Scott wonders if he really won makes me think maybe there's something there.
Liked this movie a bunch! Love teh focus on a family dynamic between not just teenage children but adult children of parents. Also, Hank was so wholesome this movie?
@@lolilol5346 lol!!! if he is ultra smart then he could have got him self out from quantumn realm! kang for sure is not perfect! and btw..kang outsmarted the ants since he survived the ant attacks
The fact you guys had no idea that MODOK was in the movie made it really awesome when it came to your reaction, I don't know how you do it! Loved the reaction and I can't wait for the GOTG Vol.3 reaction 😁
I just feel like a lot was missing from this movie, like where was Cassie’s mom and step dad? It just felt a bit empty. I’m sure Covid has something to do with it, but also the script. I wonder why Paul Rudd didn’t write it.
9:08 Mark! Hi, "Blind Wave" Trio! Up until Calvin said "Quantumnauts" I wasn't sure if I had seen this before or not. Now I'm thinking I began it, but then I had to quit, and I forgot it. Hmm. 🤔 Because I would've made the pun, "Quantum-Knots, now available with Garlic and Oregano baked in!" Or something similar, and shared it! 😅 Now I shall continue! 😌
Apparently a lot of stuff was left on the cutting room floor or outright changed on the day of shooting but still ,you’d think the people cutting and changing would try and make something decent lmao
29:47 Mark! Eric, if they go vertical, isn't that a "tower" not a "bridge"? Those would be horizontal! Well, before I slept, I wondered if I had seen the video or not. Upon awakening, my guess was that I had previously started to view it, then I went to sleep and forgot to resume. But now I know that I had made it at least this far because of Eric's memorable remarks! 😊
As a MODOK fan, the only better thing they could have done with him is have him get out into the normal universe and be a reoccurring villain. Otherwise he was literally perfect to me. I also said “Look at his little MODOK butt!” when I saw it. This is one time I am really glad Agents of SHIELD was ignored because that version of “MODOK” was kinda nothing to me.
1:13:51 Mark! Janet is also a "Wasp"! They just took turns with the mother and daughter! 😉 Ssme for Hank and Scott taking turns! Though the title indicates one of each! 😉
Tbf I can kinda understand Janet not wanting to talk about this stuff. She accidentally helped Kang take over, spent years fighting him in a brutal war and then abandoned that war and her comrades in arms to go home to her family. That’s a lot of guilt and trauma to unpack
I agree with Eric in the sense that one of my main issues with Ant Man and the Wasp was that they spent the whole movie telling us how wild the Quantum Realm was and that Janet would be forever changed and omg she's been down there 30 years and she was just like....normal but stuff happened...and she could magically fix ghost.....😂
Ryan Bergara, one of the co-hosts of BuzzFeed Unsolved has a cameo during the opening montage with Scott. It had been a while since i had seen him that when i watched the movie in theaters i recognized him but couldn't pinpoint who exactly he was.
There’s a theory that up until the version of Kang in season 1 of Loki (He Who Remains) was killed, the events of Janet in the quantum realm were different. She hadn’t met a Kang variant because HWR wasn’t letting any others exist. Then once he died the variants immediately came into points in time (even the main timeline) where they had not been before. This changed Janets past so that now she had met with a Kang and all the background from this movie. She didn’t know about him in the last movie, she knew at the start of this but didn’t know that Hank and Cassie were contacting the Quantum Realm. As soon as she finds out she wants them to stop.
Thanks for this reaction. Important things to keep track of going forward in THE MULTIVERSE SAGA: 1. All Kangs are variants of 31st-century scientist Nathaniel Richards, descendent of 20th-century Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four. 2. In the 31st-century, Nathaniel Richards discovered (not invented) the Space-Time Platform of the most dangerous person ever to walk the earth, Victor Von Doom. We have seen this devise, or advanced versions of it, used repeatedly throughout THE MULTIVERSE SAGA: LOKI SE01, it is used by both the TVA and by He-Who-Remains. In DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, Earth-838 Reed Richards enters the Illuminati Hall by means of it (confirmed by writer Michael Waldron as being Doom's invention). At the end of QUANTUMANIA, we see all Kang-variants using this device. Therefore, all of the Kangs owe their claim to fame to Doctor Doom. 4. It is very likely that Doom will discover that future descendent of his hated enemy, Reed Richards, is dominating the Multiverse by means of his greatest invention. This will be intolerable for Doom. He will probably discover this from the Loki-variant who is seeking a way to stop all the Kangs. Loki will discover the prime-Kang Nathaniel Richards and his 31st-century find of Doom time-travel tech, and will seek Doom out by means of the TVA. This is likely how Doom learns about the Kangs. 5. Upon learning about the Kangs and their transtemporal, Multiversal dynastic reign, Doom will spend all his thought into preparing to usurp their rule. The Kangs become his greatest priority. This explains Doom's absence during the Battle of NY, the Battle of Sokovia, the Battle for Earth on the Hudson Valley, NY, the Emergence of the Celestial Tiamut, and the secret invasion of the Skrulls. 6. In addition to being an almost unmatched scientific and technological genius, Doom is also a powerful and learned sorcerer, the greatest student of Cogliostro. His mother Cynthia was a witch. Therefore Doom knows well of the Darkhold and its prophecy regarding the Scarlet Witch. 7. To destroy the Dynasty of Kangs, Doom will use his Space-Time Platform to prevent Wanda Maximoff's suicide at Wundagor. 8. Doom will convince and use Wanda to obliterate every Kang in every universe as easily as she did to every Darkhold. 9. Dispatching the Kangs will trigger the Final Wave of Incursions annihilating the Multiverse. But Doom, Strange, and Wanda create Battleworld from salvaged pieces of dead universes, and Doom becomes God for AVENGERS SECRET WARS. Probably.
1:07:07 Mark! We finally succumbed to the pressure of going paperless with our checking account. How many celebrities have done the same? 🤔 Or does a paper check still make sense for them because out of their pay is deducted the pay for their management, et cetera. Seeing it in print could help reduce embezzlement? 🤔
For me personally, I assumed she and Kang had been a thing. It made sense to me, they spent a bunch of time together, he’s pissed at her, she came back alone, and she didn’t wanna say anything. Obviously, she wouldn’t want her family to know she caught feelings for a guy who’s slaughtered trillions and destroyed entire timelines and universes. And he was so angry at her cause she betrayed him after he had gained…some sort of feelings for her, at least enough to promise to make an exception for her universe to whatever his goal was. Then they made it more obvious her and Murray were a thing and I was…sadly disappointed😀🫠🫠. I feel like her and Kang would’ve been much better plotwise
Dear god I love MODOK in this. He’s the perfect mix of funny, intimidating, & sympathetic. It also reminds me how good of a crazy angry voice Yellowjacket had
I know it became very trendy to bash on this movie when it came out with a lot of people really disliking it. But I actually liked it. I'm not saying it's the best MCU movie but I thought it was good. Didn't deserve the hate it got in my opinion.
it's kind of ironic that you bring that up, because Michelle Pfeiffer is 1/3 of the Witches of Eastwick in the movie of the same name... where one of her costars is Susan Sarandon, Janet Weiss herself, who shares the same first name with Michelle Pfeiffer's character in this movie.
I think the idea of reopening the portal again was dumb. Imagine if Kang didn't lose against Scott and Hope. They would have had reopened the portal to Kang. They didn't know what they were opening for which makes the decision so reckless.
I enjoyed Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.' I loved Alice in Wonderland, Barbarella, Dune, Flash Gordon, Heavy Metal, Honey, I Shrunk the Kid, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Star Wars, Thor: Ragnarok, and The Wizard of Oz, influences in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Since 1987 I have been a fan of Ant-Man. Since 1993, I have also been a fan of Kang the Conqueror.
40:39 I have to say. I actually like the change with Modok. Not the best by any means but I thought it was a nice twist. Little stretched in places ;) but still fun.
Hank & Janet are also Ant Man & the Wasp. Victor Timely - victor - One who wins, he who conquers. timely - references time of course but is also the original name of Marvel Comics, Timely Comics in the 40s (Captain America, Namor and the Human Torch among others), Atlas Comics in the 50s (monsters, sci-fi, westerns, Groot) and Marvel Comics in the 60s and beyond (starting with the Fantastic Four). The Pharaoh Kang is Rama Tut - first appeared in FF#19 (1963), Kang first appeared in Avengers #8 (1964) sometimes considered/suspected of being versions of Doctor Doom - they use the same time technology (the light square that "beams them up"). Take a look back at Multiverse of Madness - that's exactly how Reed Richards appears when he joins the Illuminati council for the trial of Doctor Strange.
This is my LEAST favorite Antm movie, but it is still really good. It's missing a few things from my favorite A-M movie: Luis and the Wombats, a hilarious villain, the stakes, the Scott and Wasp interactions. But it was still pretty good. EDIT: a single word
I love that Hank got so much respect in this movie. Really makes me wish he was the main Ant-Man and we got to see his descent into Yellowjacket after he made Ultron
59:04 Mark! Janet Pym: "I took an arrow to my left breast because of some archer! I took up smoking and dancing as a teenager because I heard music from the sky! I remember some school students in a rough school, but I was their teacher! One time, I sang atop a piano! For a while, I was a cat, and I licked myself! I have other memories of past lives! So, maybe I do have PTSD?"
51:29 Mark! Huh? Hmm. But there's that funny animated cartoon series about "The Avengers" with a funny MODOC in it! I guess now that they would be dismissive of it, too! 😮 Then what about a "LEGO" version? 🤔
I think the last half an hour or so was pretty good and had me hooked when antfam were fighting with kang. That last fight of kang and scott was pretty intense, though the ending could have been more impactful. Rest of the movie was alright, really enjoyed kang though
I never understood why he needed Scott to go down the core But i just realised he knew that multiple versions would start to show up which is significantly more dangerous for him hence someone else had to go down there
The main thing I appreciate about you guys, you just watch and enjoy the movie. You go in with open minds and hearts and have a good time. I had a good time watching this movie. My only complaint in the franchise as a whole, I just don't feel it between Scott and Hope. Otherwise, so much fun!!! Thanks for everything you do! I always find myself laughing and talking back at the screen with your reactions.
I do hope Jonathan majors stays if they can solve everything thats going on. Obviously if whatevers been brought up is true, then recast. But i really dont want them to recast just because of "allegations" and not proof
@@BeeruzChrysler I never understood the issue people had with ants "defeating" Kang. They were Ants that Hank had already made to be super geniuses likely on his own level, and then they had their minds advanced 1000s and 1000s of years in a moment. Their minds were likely close to Kang's if not on par, so of course the tech they built themselves would give Kang a challenge, especially when overwhelmed. And then yeah he made a mistake making Modok as strong as he was, cause he counted on Modok being too scared to ever fight him
I doubt ants defeating Kang was an issue for even one percent of the people who didn't like this movie, it was probably the 2 hour slog of ugly CGI and a story with no stakes and surprisingly no structure or meaningful character arc that irritated people.
@@MellyMelon1331people always just seem to ignore that plot detail because it was “just ants” that defeated him 🙄. Barely even “defeated” him either. Kang was still easily well enough to go 1v1 against Scott after that
I hate the Ant-Man suit in this movie. Ant-Man's suit withstood blast from Kang's ships, Kang's own blast, but when he gets beat up by Kang, then his suit breaks. They made Ant-Man's suit durable to the point where it didn't make sense.
I get entirely why people are frustrated with Janet, even though she repeatedly told them the Quantum Realm is too dangerous and they need to leave it alone. But she was stranded somewhere for decades and did some truly unspeakable for things for an even more unspeakable man. It's the worst time of her life, was a nightmare that she wanted to bury deep and forget, except everyone wanted to bring it back up. Plus after blowing up his ship she expected to be stranded there forever. I always think of it like veterans (especially ones who were drafted as opposed to enlisting) who never speak about "what happened over there".
It makes sense for her to be silent when they are outside of the danger of quantum realm, but once they sucked in, at least she shouldn't keep avoiding the question, considering all her family is in immediate danger.
i dont really get the hate for this movie i had a good time and i was entertained. the movie is a bit fast paced and the ending is a bit weird but it doesnt warrant people calling this the worst mcu movie.
People are to needy these days if they don’t like one thing abt a movie it’s automatically the worst movie I’m not saying it was amazing but damn it gets to much hate
@@waynemunn5200 100%, I constantly see 'everything since End Game sucks' which I can't believe anyone TRULY believes if they're being objective. and honest. Maybe not as good as End Game, but some have been good/great, some mediocre, some bad. There's also some people that are politically motivated/anti-Disney/anti-'woke' types, the ones that write bad reviews before the movies ever come out. Probably a tiny percentage but they're loud.

He reads like a man who found micro-dosing in his senior years and his mood and relationships have improved because of it
ANTS!
He's literally the "Ant-man", not Scott so it makes sense.
He has Antseimers
Probably helps that he created the most groundbreaking technology ever invented in the pym particle ... dude could literally ride off that fame alone forever.... and did lol
The idea of Kevin Feige chilling in their yard waiting to correct them on their theories is hilarious. I want to believe that’s how he spends his time
watching tom holland and mark ruffalo like a hawk
I swear Janet bothered me so much throughout this movie. Like the whole time I’m just thinking “can you NOW tell us wht the hell is going on?”
I like the theory that in the previous ant man movies she hadn’t had the encounter with Kang, which is why she never told anybody, but that once He Who Remains was killed outside of Time in Loki it had a retroactive effect even on the main MCU timeline, making it so that Janet had met a Kang who was now in the Quantum Realm.
So while she does hide things in this movie, she wasn’t hiding it in the last movie because it hadn’t happened.
@@brianburkhardt3692 correct if I’m wrong but she didn’t show up in last movie til the end from the quantum realm right?
But at some point you would think btwn then and getting sucked into the quantum realm you would grant us the courtesy of saying “hey there’s timeline destroying maniac in there should probably leave it alone”
@@pegasusj4655 Exactly. Instead she decides to keep quiet about it and try and act all mysterious, as if telling people there is a threat worse than Thanos that cannot escape the Quantum Realm would make things worse. They literally just had to leave him there and he'd die of old age eventually.
@@pegasusj4655 yeah, she gets saved from the Quantum Realm in probably the last third of the movie (it’s not the very end, but it is toward the end). But that’s before Endgame and the time Heist when 2012 Loki escapes, setting in motion the events of Loki and removal of He Who Remains. So, going by that theory, she didn’t know about Kang until after being saved and the events of Endgame.
She wasn’t against going back into the QR at the end of Ant Man & The Wasp to collect particles for Ghost. It could be that it wasn’t deep enough to warrant her worrying, or it could be that at that point she had no reason to worry.
He Who Remains says that he has been keeping the other Kangs from appearing in the sacred (main MCU) timeline. So if that were true, then the outcast Kang and the rest of the council in this movie didn’t exist. Once he was killed by Sylvie, the other Kangs popped into existence at all points in time they would have been had HWR not pruned their existence. So it’s only after his death that Janet meeting a Kang can even happen, therefor it is almost certain that she had not met a Kang in the previous movie, and only after Loki does she retroactively have met him and have reason to worry about him finding her again.
I mean… I felt they did a decent job making it feel like she was waiting for them to have a bit of breathing room to discuss it. It’s not like the movie waited that long.
I love that Scott and Loki are two characters who now have this one huge thing of being the two characters that have truly confronted Kang and know what he can actually be I love the fear on Scott’s face throughout the ending it’s almost similar to what Tony went through in Iron Man 3 after going into space in Avengers
We did... stop him right?
I think my favorite part of the whole reaction was Eric seeing the ball of energy sucking everything into the Quantumrealm and he said “PUT A CUP OVER IT” like it’s a wasp😂
9:46 - 10:10 If you look at the creatures with head type of color stone, they said it is infinity stones. In Endgame, Thanos did said he reduced it into atom. That is crazy.
Whoa! Thats awesome
So they're infinity stone beings hah cool well aren't we glad Kang didn't catch a wif of those stones 😂
I thought the "great shame," in Eric's words, that Janet is facing was the fact that she helped Kang regain his suit, which in turn allowed him to build his Quantum Realm kingdom.
She also straight up abandoned all those people the first chance she got
I see Aaron is keeping with his usual habit of predicting things mere seconds before they happen.
I mean, these Hollywood.. especially Disney flicks are quite predictable... same formula same endings (also why infinity war was the best marvel made)
...but of course everyone who dies WE SEE the body of... comes back.. or not?
Oh we'll grab a duplicate from another time-line!!!
@@mandelorean6243 infinity war isn't good because it ended with a loss... every movie has a loss halfway through, infinity war and endgame are 1 story, and it has a loss in the middle, a darkest hour point, which every other marvel movie also has. it's an amazing movie, but thats not why
Rick has that habit too lol
If Ant Man 4 gets made i want them to go back to telling more of the personal smaller stakes story of the first Ant Man movie
100% agreed. The issues i have with this film can be summed up with, it feels like an Ant-Man filmed ashamed to just be an Ant-Man film. They cut most of the elements that worked and people enjoyed in the first two, just to try and tell such a big and grand story on par with The Avengers films (which the director even said he wanted to do). Ant-Man 1 and even 2 by a lot of people were loved for what they were, and that didn't need to be changed
The first AntMan is still my fav we don’t really see Scott being a dad as much especially since Endgame
And get a better director. Peyton Reed sucks
Ant-Man 4 should focus on the Ireedemable Ant-Man.
or just make it good
The thing that Janet was so ashamed of was that she helped Kang get his suit and tech back.
On some level she is responsible for him being able to conquer and terrorise the quantum realm. And then she left, knowing what he was still doing to people down there.
There's gotta be a universe where Kang faced Hank's version of Ant Man
The look he gives Hank in the final battle 100% confirms that, such recognition for him.
@@CRITTER_FROG why this isn't a real easter egg?
@@paaritoshkarmakar2119 what?

@@paaritoshkarmakar2119it is a real easter egg
It's no coincidence that Kang's suit looks like Doctor Doom. In the comics he originated in the future as a scientist (relayed by He Who Remains) who discovers Doom tech, and uses it to time travel. He believes he is a descendant of both Victor von Doom and Nathaniel Richards (his namesake, and son of Reed and Sue).
that's a weird ship
People say that Kang in Quantumania was underwhelming, and I could see that the first part, but in reality Kang is weakened in this film. A lot of people don't really understand that. Kang is weakened because he is in the Quantumn Realm. Now, if Kang was outside of the Quantumn Realm and had access to time, then Kang would have been more capable and more powerful like traveling through time, manipulating time, and summoning any weapon from any point in time just like in the comics.
And I liked how they did this because it proves that a weak Kang, or even the weakest Kang, can be a big threat, like how Kang conquered the Quantumn Realm, like a whole dimension basically, a weakened Kang conquered a whole dimension. It just goes to show the capability of Kang, and I hope that they can expand on this Kang stuff like every Kang after the one in Quantumania will be stronger and stronger just showing the danger of Kang as a whole.
Finally, someone who understands! Is this movie perfect and qualified to be a masterpiece? Probably not. However, people don’t seem to understand how characters like Kang, Ironman, Doctor Doom, etc. archetypes work. The tech-based characters abilities can allow them to jump tiers depending on the amount of preparation time and resources that they have. Their whole shtick with these types of characters is that their successes and victories are very dependent on their prep time, the amount of technological resources they have, etc. Iron man’s standard armour for example, wouldnt stand a chance against the hulk. However, with Hulkbuster, he is able to hold his own against the Hulk, even if he isn’t able to beat him.
Doctor Doom with prep time and resources, has often absorbed the powers of other beings in the comics.
This is a Kang who was banished, meaning that he had to be stripped of all the actual important technology. After all, what fool would banish and seal someone while giving them all the resources they need to escape? Plus as you said, its more cooler to realize that this is what Kang could do, with the limited amount of resources he had access to. Imagine if he had access to ALL and I mean, ALL his resources. THAT would be Kang at his most dangerous.
I know the movie isnt perfect but why dont people seem to understand this? The fact that Ant man could solo a heavily handicapped Kang, is actually an impressive feat for Ant Man and not a disappointing record for Kang. Ant man is always severely underestimated by the audience themselves. Why is it to unfathomable that Ant Man could hold his own like that in the movie? In the comics, he has grown big enough to enter a different dimension if I recall correctly. He is just as much of a threat as Thor or the Hulk. So we shouldnt even be saying, “How could ant man of all people beat Kang”. Instead we should be saying, “Finally, the movie shows just how OP and Hax and Busted Ant man’s abilities can be”.
I just feel like his acting skills seem kinda crappy.
@@ThatShyGuyMatt I mean, if that’s how you feel then that’s perfectly fine. Perhaps with a better script and writing and opportunity for greater range, he might get to shine a little bit more. So long as people at least understand what we mean when we say this isn’t Kang’s absolute best, then thats fine.
Yes! Someone else gets it, the first time I saw the movie I thought the same thing immediately, this is like the weakest most nerfed version of Kang, and it still gave ant man a run for his money. I also like Kang in the movie, maybe is not the best performance but I still like it, I really like characters that can manipulate time and/or space to such extent for their own purposes, I get such like Rich Sanchez vibes from Kang, and the futility and naivety of the rest of the characters that interact with him, I love it XD
@@destructor0556 100% man. Facts.
Something occurred to me when i watched this, He Who Remains said if he died another version of him would end up right back there, and i think this version of Kang was going to be the new iteration of He Who Remains, and with him dead there will be no Kang to stop the Multiversal War, Antman and Wasp accidentally killed the only "good" Kang
Interesting. This Kang was also an outcast, not working with the council in a similar way to He Who Remains. Maybe he’s like a less successful version who instead of going on to stop the others from existing he failed and was cast out.
No. This is the main Kang. He isn't dead.
I think it actually was he who remains himself and not just a version of him. That would be an epic twist!
I had this thought too.
@@TomVCunningham im leaning more towards the idea that this IS Kang the Conqueror's base form and he didnt want to work with hte dynasty, but unlike he who remains, he didn't want to keep a tight lid on a universe but to control all of it and nuke it.
But what i think is interesting is that this kang is stuck in a probability storm... maybe when he's able to finally come to terms with all the other probability kangs of himself, the ONLY ONE who survives it is the "ultimate kang the conqueror" who has "beat all the odds" and is the real threat since he's lived against all other iterations and came out on top, like a simulation, and i think what Eric Vauss said about antman being stuck in a probability storm with kang right now also is interesting maybe, him and hope never got out of the quantum world, and they're stuck in that simulation loop or whatever until one of them breaks out the other.
Kang was probably the best part of this movie and all the times Aaron laughed at Modok’s face 😂, kinda sad Rick wasn’t on this reaction
I liked the part where Kang wore a purple power ranger suit and beat up his girlfriend
@@tehdouglas1 Shut your mouth. Were you with him when he did what you accuse him of? You must be one of those who accused Johnny Depp. Continue to slander people with your hatred. And Karma will take care of answering you.
The part I love best is the ending, you see purple and green hints everywhere at the party and when he is walking, and when he panics its around the time a background character walks past him a second time! Its like a timeline hiccup from Kang dying
Aaron's explanation of Janet's silence as PTSD makes perfect sense. I said it.
The ending is suss as hell with the amount of green and purple (Kang colors) after their return. The cake, the balloons... I wouldn't be surprised if he was dumped someplace like when Loki had to relive it over and over.
That "no!" From outside was too funny😂😂😂
Janet did do something she felt great shame for, she helped Kane fix his pod. Even after she stopped him from escaping he still had his suit which brought hardship on everyone down there.
The subtlety of that Hank Pym/Kang face off... the two greatest scientists of their generations. Hank created the pym particle which opens the quantum realm, and Kang discovered the multiverse entirely.
I mean, the benefit of us having touch the multiverse in the MCU (specifically in Far From Home) is that we’ve seen that the same character doesn’t always have to look alike, and can be played by different actors - so Majors can be recast. The downside is that that after-credits scene certainly implied that the majority of them look like him…
I really like a lot the Probabily Storm part, so funny and some cool shots
The ants don't need to have developed Pym technology, they just need to have been unevenly dragged into the QR when everyone else was.
Every time you see a character become giant in this movie they are actually becoming _fractionally_ less tiny than they just were, its all just relative.
I don't hate this film as much as some people do - yeah the CGI kinda wack and it's not a typical Ant Man film, but it's still got the humour and I think Kang was well portrayed. My biggest issue with it was that they had the perfect opportunity to let Hope and Scott pass the torch and *actually* die/get stuck, and that would've made the film stick a good bit more imo.
I just now realized the teleporting tech that the Kangs use is the exact same as Mr. Fantastic in Multiverse of Madness
"It is never too late to stop being a dick." words to live by Cassie, words to live by.
I enjoyed this movie for what it was. The criticisms of it are totally valid. I enjoyed MODOK (Can't imagine doing that character seriously but that's just me). The script was rough at times but there was enough fun and cool ideas that it got me thru the movie without being bored. 6/10.
I know I'm in the vast minority, but this is my favorite post credit scene of the MCU. Not only is it a cool and sinister set up that's ripped straight from the splash page, but I find it amazing that this whole scene is just one actor getting to do all the roles
I instantly got tears when I saw Loki in the end credit scene. I love the series so much and I cannot wait for Loki 2
1:08:49 I’m so glad Eric brought this up, so many legends in comics like Kirby, Ditko, Giffens, Peter David, Bill Finger, and just an uncountable amount more have added so much to this industry to make it what it is today, and the fact that many of them go unthanked and unpaid for their work is a shame;
I saw James Gun put John Ostrander in The Suicide Squad, and I hope, at least for the DC movies, they keep including other writers, artists, and creators that impacted the character and the business of comics as a whole!
I was just thinking to myself yesterday
"Haven't they seen this movie yet?"

Some people think that ending scene with Scott might not be real because there's a heavy use of the color Purple throughout it, a bunch of people wearing vibrant purple shirts, purple balloons etc. Probably a stretch, but that with the brief moment where Scott wonders if he really won makes me think maybe there's something there.
I think Kang is affecting this reality.
Liked this movie a bunch! Love teh focus on a family dynamic between not just teenage children but adult children of parents. Also, Hank was so wholesome this movie?

I just feel like a lot was missing from this movie, like where was Cassie’s mom and step dad?
It just felt a bit empty. I’m sure Covid has something to do with it, but also the script. I wonder why Paul Rudd didn’t write it.
Calvin said the same thing about the elderly man that was going to be Stan Lee in the trailer too! 😂

Because I would've made the pun, "Quantum-Knots, now available with Garlic and Oregano baked in!"
Or something similar, and shared it! 😅 Now I shall continue! 😌
Quantumania feels like it's written by a guy who heard of tropes and climaxes and make it a movie. No build up or anything.

29:47 Mark! Eric, if they go vertical, isn't that a "tower" not a "bridge"? Those would be horizontal!
Well, before I slept, I wondered if I had seen the video or not. Upon awakening, my guess was that I had previously started to view it, then I went to sleep and forgot to resume. But now I know that I had made it at least this far because of Eric's memorable remarks! 😊
As a MODOK fan, the only better thing they could have done with him is have him get out into the normal universe and be a reoccurring villain. Otherwise he was literally perfect to me. I also said “Look at his little MODOK butt!” when I saw it. This is one time I am really glad Agents of SHIELD was ignored because that version of “MODOK” was kinda nothing to me.
Some people didn't like how Modok was portrayed then there was the issue of Cassie shrinking the police car.
1:03:41 Mark! "He gets pregnant!"
That was the storyline of an episode of "Star Trek: Enterprise"! 😂
1:13:51 Mark! Janet is also a "Wasp"! They just took turns with the mother and daughter! 😉 Ssme for Hank and Scott taking turns! Though the title indicates one of each! 😉
Tbf I can kinda understand Janet not wanting to talk about this stuff. She accidentally helped Kang take over, spent years fighting him in a brutal war and then abandoned that war and her comrades in arms to go home to her family.
That’s a lot of guilt and trauma to unpack
Also, she was snapped away shortly after she got out of the QR. They were also unpacking that.
I agree with Eric in the sense that one of my main issues with Ant Man and the Wasp was that they spent the whole movie telling us how wild the Quantum Realm was and that Janet would be forever changed and omg she's been down there 30 years and she was just like....normal but stuff happened...and she could magically fix ghost.....😂
It will forever amaze me how well they forget everything from trailers they have watched. Not complaining. Makes good reactions.
Ryan Bergara, one of the co-hosts of BuzzFeed Unsolved has a cameo during the opening montage with Scott. It had been a while since i had seen him that when i watched the movie in theaters i recognized him but couldn't pinpoint who exactly he was.
There’s a theory that up until the version of Kang in season 1 of Loki (He Who Remains) was killed, the events of Janet in the quantum realm were different. She hadn’t met a Kang variant because HWR wasn’t letting any others exist.
Then once he died the variants immediately came into points in time (even the main timeline) where they had not been before. This changed Janets past so that now she had met with a Kang and all the background from this movie. She didn’t know about him in the last movie, she knew at the start of this but didn’t know that Hank and Cassie were contacting the Quantum Realm. As soon as she finds out she wants them to stop.
Thanks for this reaction.
Important things to keep track of going forward in THE MULTIVERSE SAGA:
1. All Kangs are variants of 31st-century scientist Nathaniel Richards, descendent of 20th-century Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four.
2. In the 31st-century, Nathaniel Richards discovered (not invented) the Space-Time Platform of the most dangerous person ever to walk the earth, Victor Von Doom. We have seen this devise, or advanced versions of it, used repeatedly throughout THE MULTIVERSE SAGA: LOKI SE01, it is used by both the TVA and by He-Who-Remains. In DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, Earth-838 Reed Richards enters the Illuminati Hall by means of it (confirmed by writer Michael Waldron as being Doom's invention). At the end of QUANTUMANIA, we see all Kang-variants using this device. Therefore, all of the Kangs owe their claim to fame to Doctor Doom.
4. It is very likely that Doom will discover that future descendent of his hated enemy, Reed Richards, is dominating the Multiverse by means of his greatest invention. This will be intolerable for Doom. He will probably discover this from the Loki-variant who is seeking a way to stop all the Kangs. Loki will discover the prime-Kang Nathaniel Richards and his 31st-century find of Doom time-travel tech, and will seek Doom out by means of the TVA. This is likely how Doom learns about the Kangs.
5. Upon learning about the Kangs and their transtemporal, Multiversal dynastic reign, Doom will spend all his thought into preparing to usurp their rule. The Kangs become his greatest priority. This explains Doom's absence during the Battle of NY, the Battle of Sokovia, the Battle for Earth on the Hudson Valley, NY, the Emergence of the Celestial Tiamut, and the secret invasion of the Skrulls.
6. In addition to being an almost unmatched scientific and technological genius, Doom is also a powerful and learned sorcerer, the greatest student of Cogliostro. His mother Cynthia was a witch. Therefore Doom knows well of the Darkhold and its prophecy regarding the Scarlet Witch.
7. To destroy the Dynasty of Kangs, Doom will use his Space-Time Platform to prevent Wanda Maximoff's suicide at Wundagor.
8. Doom will convince and use Wanda to obliterate every Kang in every universe as easily as she did to every Darkhold.
9. Dispatching the Kangs will trigger the Final Wave of Incursions annihilating the Multiverse. But Doom, Strange, and Wanda create Battleworld from salvaged pieces of dead universes, and Doom becomes God for AVENGERS SECRET WARS.
Probably.

Seeing it in print could help reduce embezzlement? 🤔
1:14:45 Mark! Eric, it was worse than that! He was flushed! 😮
For me personally, I assumed she and Kang had been a thing. It made sense to me, they spent a bunch of time together, he’s pissed at her, she came back alone, and she didn’t wanna say anything. Obviously, she wouldn’t want her family to know she caught feelings for a guy who’s slaughtered trillions and destroyed entire timelines and universes. And he was so angry at her cause she betrayed him after he had gained…some sort of feelings for her, at least enough to promise to make an exception for her universe to whatever his goal was. Then they made it more obvious her and Murray were a thing and I was…sadly disappointed😀🫠🫠. I feel like her and Kang would’ve been much better plotwise
Dear god I love MODOK in this. He’s the perfect mix of funny, intimidating, & sympathetic.

I think the idea of reopening the portal again was dumb. Imagine if Kang didn't lose against Scott and Hope. They would have had reopened the portal to Kang. They didn't know what they were opening for which makes the decision so reckless.
I enjoyed Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.' I loved Alice in Wonderland, Barbarella, Dune, Flash Gordon, Heavy Metal, Honey, I Shrunk the Kid, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Star Wars, Thor: Ragnarok, and The Wizard of Oz, influences in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Since 1987 I have been a fan of Ant-Man. Since 1993, I have also been a fan of Kang the Conqueror.

43:49 Mark! That was a complete helmet, not just a mere mask! 🙄
Hank & Janet are also Ant Man & the Wasp.
Victor Timely - victor - One who wins, he who conquers. timely - references time of course but is also the original name of Marvel Comics, Timely Comics in the 40s (Captain America, Namor and the Human Torch among others), Atlas Comics in the 50s (monsters, sci-fi, westerns, Groot) and Marvel Comics in the 60s and beyond (starting with the Fantastic Four).
The Pharaoh Kang is Rama Tut - first appeared in FF#19 (1963), Kang first appeared in Avengers #8 (1964) sometimes considered/suspected of being versions of Doctor Doom - they use the same time technology (the light square that "beams them up"). Take a look back at Multiverse of Madness - that's exactly how Reed Richards appears when he joins the Illuminati council for the trial of Doctor Strange.
This is my LEAST favorite Antm movie, but it is still really good. It's missing a few things from my favorite A-M movie: Luis and the Wombats, a hilarious villain, the stakes, the Scott and Wasp interactions. But it was still pretty good.
EDIT: a single word
I love that Hank got so much respect in this movie. Really makes me wish he was the main Ant-Man and we got to see his descent into Yellowjacket after he made Ultron

So, maybe I do have PTSD?"

This movie has its faults, to be sure, but my favorite running joke throughout is whenever Darren has a monologue, he keeps getting interrupted
It’s legitimately hilarious
I think the last half an hour or so was pretty good and had me hooked when antfam were fighting with kang. That last fight of kang and scott was pretty intense, though the ending could have been more impactful. Rest of the movie was alright, really enjoyed kang though
Just found out Linda was in a cut scene and was supposed to be Jennifer Coolige
I don't think the ants have any sort of Pym Partical tech, it's just that IRL ants of the same species can vary wildly in size.
I never understood why he needed Scott to go down the core
But i just realised he knew that multiple versions would start to show up which is significantly more dangerous for him hence someone else had to go down there
The main thing I appreciate about you guys, you just watch and enjoy the movie. You go in with open minds and hearts and have a good time. I had a good time watching this movie. My only complaint in the franchise as a whole, I just don't feel it between Scott and Hope. Otherwise, so much fun!!! Thanks for everything you do! I always find myself laughing and talking back at the screen with your reactions.
that MCU intro Eric and Calvin did together proved Aaron just doesn't ever stop talking gollllllllllllllllllyy

He is supposed to be in court this week.
I wouldn't care. I didn't find him menacing at all.
Not my fav MCU, but honestly it’s a fun movie. I think the MCU is gonna get much darker soon, and I’ll look back on phase 4 as a fun time.

@@BeeruzChrysler I never understood the issue people had with ants "defeating" Kang. They were Ants that Hank had already made to be super geniuses likely on his own level, and then they had their minds advanced 1000s and 1000s of years in a moment. Their minds were likely close to Kang's if not on par, so of course the tech they built themselves would give Kang a challenge, especially when overwhelmed. And then yeah he made a mistake making Modok as strong as he was, cause he counted on Modok being too scared to ever fight him
I doubt ants defeating Kang was an issue for even one percent of the people who didn't like this movie, it was probably the 2 hour slog of ugly CGI and a story with no stakes and surprisingly no structure or meaningful character arc that irritated people.

I get entirely why people are frustrated with Janet, even though she repeatedly told them the Quantum Realm is too dangerous and they need to leave it alone. But she was stranded somewhere for decades and did some truly unspeakable for things for an even more unspeakable man. It's the worst time of her life, was a nightmare that she wanted to bury deep and forget, except everyone wanted to bring it back up. Plus after blowing up his ship she expected to be stranded there forever. I always think of it like veterans (especially ones who were drafted as opposed to enlisting) who never speak about "what happened over there".
It makes sense for her to be silent when they are outside of the danger of quantum realm, but once they sucked in, at least she shouldn't keep avoiding the question, considering all her family is in immediate danger.
i dont really get the hate for this movie i had a good time and i was entertained. the movie is a bit fast paced and the ending is a bit weird but it doesnt warrant people calling this the worst mcu movie.

There's also some people that are politically motivated/anti-Disney/anti-'woke' types, the ones that write bad reviews before the movies ever come out. Probably a tiny percentage but they're loud.
