If you see this. You literally make my life better with your videos. They are fantastic, ive been following you for a long time before you showed your face in the videos. Thank you for all your hard work. You’re the best
I think the recuring symbol os the ring we see represent the symbols/language as well as the other stuff. I think this is all representative of Eternity. Its been mentioned in several ways, now recently at least 3 times forced and on purpose. I think the symbols, or rings, or energy, is a way for Eternity to be communicating or something. We saw in Thor that Eternity never chose to speak or even move, exist. We saw it represented as a whole ora being when star lord saw it through Ego. Kang has seen that it is broken and understands the mechanics of it. The celestials express the immense power it may poses. like, when Kang said Eternity I felt it was forced and not generic of who Majors was playing. Its gonna be bigger for sure later on.
The scene with the multiple Scott's. A part you missed was how this part connects to how the ants work together for one singular goal. Just like how the ants were listening to Scott his multi selves had to do the same in order to get to their goal. This part was brilliant.
The tower is something that ants do. They can form bridges and even rafts by linking together. It’s probably the most ant-y thing Ant-Man has ever done
@@Fadaar it’s because the gadget that can hold the signal of the gate on the other side was the transmitter Cassie build, she reopened the gate (Hank and Janet on her side as well)
@@otakumarcusIdk about them, but I want a dark ending. I want see Kang actually get some victories. Im not saying he should kill all the Avengers, but Kang got beaten so easily while having Sith powers and hand lasers.
Scott does have special skills. He’s an electrical engineer and is really really good at stealing things, hence why hank Pym and Kang both sought him out personally so steal things for/from them
Scott: "Okay Im down here Darryl can you hear me? Daryl...Daryl!....sigh...Modok? Daryl: "Yooo! Scott: "What do I do now?" Daryl: "Don't die?" That shxt was so funny
Exactly. As a daughter of a 2-year old angel, that scene was the best one for me. It shows how Lang is in every universe and probability, a heart-felt father who places the safety of his daughter above anything else 😭
imagine what kang is about to do in the probability storm by the end of kang dynasty he might even build his multiple versions of himself to take on the kang dynasty by end of that saga when he comes back
Kang told Janet twice that her daughter would open a portal, and she would be there. I forget the exact words, but it shows how his way of seeing time made him at least aware that those events would occur at some point. He asked her twice what she saw when she touched his mind, which makes me think that he has seen glimpses of what happens, but doesn't know every step of the way, otherwise he would have known her future answer. That makes his frustration with "losing" add up even though he knows he's going to accomplish his ultimate goal in the end, to "win"
Kang isn’t looking into the future. He is looking at it all at once. So he probably sees those events always happening. He just doesn’t know the context is all the time. It could be happening a few different ways. But what Janet saw was his memories of what he had already done. He had already erased timelines and universes. But seeing all potential events all at once must make things blurry.
Kang can see his winning but can't see the direct path to get there. His curse is being able to see all time, all realities. It's like being able to see yourself becoming like the greatest president ever but having no idea how to get there. Infinite choices is alot to narrow down to one correct choice.
I think Kang is actually the one who becomes He who remains. You can see his motives is to save the multiverse but he’s going about it the wrong way for now. I like the complexity of his character.
This whole thread is hilarious and shows ppl still don’t get the concept of kang lol. They don’t mean this kang is literally he who remains. It’s just like he says there will always be a he who remains rather there’s a stripe on his ass or his back 😂
Personally loved this movie. Can't wait to see where ,and when Nathaniel Richard variants continues to appear in phase 5/ 6. Jonathan majors is a great actor.
Really?! But he died in a very stupid way and never really fought. Not to mention the fact that he was supposed to be the big bad guy and he was just a guy that talked and tried to run away.
@@jasonrodriguez8569 I read comic books but not so deeply. Didnt read anything about Kang and very little about Ant-man. Albeit, this movie was super fun. It fares triumphantly compared to the monstrosity that is phase 4.
Michelle P was acting her face off at the start of the movie. From the moment she hears the others were sending a signal to the QR, she is visibly terrified and literally trembling I thought she did a good job of portraying genuine fear of Kang. She's a literal ex-superhero, and still Kang is causing her that much fear. That really helps set up the idea that Kang's ruthlessness and what he has the ability to do must be really really bad for her to react like that
Also you make post like a child like you make post just come off so fake like dude this is real life not everything needs to be praised for attention your comment is like a post you want to get pinned
That scene was so good because Hank and Hope were both like Janet calm down, but Scott see the look of terror on her face and was like what Am I missing, than the movie basically starts
Also the fact that Janet helped Kang fix his core explains her advanced knowledge when she came out of the QR the first time and might be important in later fights against him
Feige should make a marvel special of 1 hour with Luis telling the entire infinity saga from iron man 1 all the way to endgame. That way for new fans to catch up. Come on Kevin Do IT!!!
I thought the reason the probabilities disappeared in the storm was because Scott and Hope interacted with each other, collapsing the waveform. I like your reasoning for it too though.
Call me crazy, but I think Ant-Man is one of the most dangerous characters in the MCU. As Giant-Man, he one-punched space whales and stomped Hulk-tier beings like Cull Obsidian into the ground. But with Pym Particles, Ant-Man can destroy enemies at the subatomic level. He's mind-bogglingly dangerous, and the only reason he's not S-tier is he's played by the kindhearted Paul Rudd. Wait that does make him S-tier.
Ofcourse he is! He’s way underutilized in the mcu. I’m glad we got to see giant man more in the movie. The avengers cartoons ant man always kicks ass and puts hulk in his place. I love ant man !
There's also the option for antman to get inside a villain and grow to giant man like termite from the boys. Prolly never gonna happen on the mcu but its funny and very powerful
Also the way their suits are designed now are a subtle nod to Iron Man on how they’re activated on their chests - I guess Hank got inspired in the quantum heist suits Tony did in Endgame to upgrade them.
Well I might be wrong … But the Kang from this movie is the only one who has those face markings… So in the comics he’s the one who’s usually the Big Bad so he’ll be back… Also I’m not 100% sure but I think He was sucked into the probability Storm ⛈️ so with that many versions of himself working on a couple of problems he should be back worst or maybe better than ever 😉
The thing is there are MULTIPLE Kangs so whatever Kang reference you think you've noticed could originated from any Kang while the one in the movie is probably still dead
Absolutely no one is talking about the group of crystal looking people in the freedom fighters. They looked a lot like the infinity stones that Thanos “reduced to atoms”
We never see Hope and Scott actually go back through the time portal Cassie opened. How do we know they went back to the correct timeline? Maybe that's why Scott feels off?
@@simicbranislav4473 i think that was upper quantum realm .. the one at the end of antman 2... but here it is a civilized quantum realm and somehow matches with earth's time
There was also an important Kang variant connecting to Loki. Mr Gryphon was seen in business attire in the Council of Kangs scene. This of course connects to the Qeng Industries tower in episode 4 of Loki
I noticed this little Easter Egg while watching the movie. The corridors or hallways of Kangs Tower in the Quantum Realm looks similar if not identical to the corridors/hallways of the TVA. I liked that little detail coz it shows that Kang and He Who Remains (who created the TVA) are more or less one in the same. I loved this film. Kang was amazing.
One thing nobody has pointed out was The Void from Loki got a shoutout that might be a big Easter egg - when Hank asked Janet why he able to detect the civilization part of the quantum realm, she says he wasn’t looking deep enough, and had to go beyond The Void and some other place. The Void being where Alioth was in Loki. ITS ALL CONNECTED
The Quantum Void is the outermost layer of the Quantum Realm; We've seen it in the first Ant-Man and Doctor Strange films. It's an empty void full of ever changing geometric shapes. The layer further beyond the Void is the Wasteland, and that's the part of the Quantum Realm we heavily saw in the second Ant-Man film. The "Void" from Loki is something else entirely, that's at the end of time.
I think that this movie could have been better if Scott or one in the party could have been severely damaged somehow to highlight how dangerous and how lucky there were to escape Kang.
Kangs main reason why he is so powerful is because of his use of time travel, he does not have that ability while in the quantum realm. If Antman we’re to fight him outside on earth he wouldn’t stand a chance
@@leighhall3521 yes but it does not make us hold our nerve in a thought of avengers has to fight kang like it did to us before and after watching infinity war and before going to watch endgame , it makes us feel like if super powerful heroes like scarlet witch , dr.strange , cpt marvel , thor , adam warlick , hulk and powerful eternals fights together they could easily beat kang the conqueror , their is no sense of threat that we feel for heroes like we did against thanos even before watching infinity war even ant man doesn't and will be super confidence and will not be scared of kang , he alone with hank , hope his daughter gave kang tough time , he will surely be super confident if he is standing side to said with every avengers plus other powerful heroes, if this movie was setting up kang for avengers dynasty and trying to make our nerves hold in a thought that our heroes have to face kang then it did very bad job of doing that , we only imagine kang will be more powerful but based on this movie our heroes can easily defeat the kang .
You guys forget the time difference. In the few seconds lived by Scott and hope at the end before the second door opens, would have been weeks for Cassie to have time to fix her invention and open a new door. This explains why she is in different clothing.
if a few seconds is weeks then how does anyone in the quantum realm remember janet and how is janet still alive ( or rather how is anyone else still alive ) if a few seconds in quantum realm is weeks on earth and janet was there for 30 years then DAMN
Well they don't add up anyway. Scott says 5 hours equalled 5 years during the blip... That's why they did what they did in endgame remember. So we know there is time dialation. The figures I just was using as an example
You guys have to pay attention to what was said in the movie. Janet was in quantum realm where time (apparently) passes the same as how it does on Earth. At the end of Antman 2, scott was stuck in a time vortex where (apparently) he spent 5 hourd which equalled 5 years on Earth. When Cassie opens the portal, Hope and Scott were in quantum realm so it didn't take days or weeks back on Earth. All of that happened around the same timw
I’ve been watching your videos for years and just realized Doug is not only a stand in for the audience asking questions but also provides the pause in between explanations like when movies pause in fight scenes to give your brain a break.
Hate how all the critics almost made me not watch the movie I honestly liked it I give it a 7/10 wish they didn’t just kill off MODOK and used him as a more serious villain he could have not been added to the movie and it wouldn’t have mattered
Yeah it seemed like the reviewers all had a meeting and decided they were going to hate the movie, rather than just be objective. What I watched was amazing. Part of the experience of marvel for me is loving the movie, then going online to see other people loving it too. I just loved the feeling of being a community in it. Then with Dr strange multiverse of madness it just ended. I loved the movie, then everyone hated it. I could see why they hated it, but I didn't go in with giga bazillion expectations, pretty much guaranteeing that it would disappoint. I went in excited to see a Sam Raimi marvel movie and was not disappointed. But this movie? I loved this movie and the reviewers just seem like they think they're too damn cool now. What a shame.
@@Hussemo same experience for me. Multiverse of madness was a huge disappointment, then Love and Thunder was nail on the coffin. I gave up on Marvel after that. Wakanda forever was a bit promising but at the end it didnt do much for me but with Quantumania, it feels like MCU is back with a bang. Hope they continue servicing their fandom this way rather than crapping on them like how She-hulk did.
@@keerthichandra376 exactly. You and I agree on all of that except Dr strange. But I've always been a huge fan of Raimi's style. So yes, to me, this movie brought the MCU back. And hopefully it continues. Like the jumping off point that winter soldier was for the infinity saga.
We really liked this movie, it had so many great visuals & ideas. Kang was portrayed so well by Jonathan, like he already did with He Who Remains. The interconnections are great. We also enjoyed Multiverse of Madness. But there are so many people nowadays who like to put everything down that's not exactly as they imagined. Everyone thinks he is the perfect director/writer/cinematographer and knows best. This constant whining is so annoying, and you have it everywhere, in every franchise. These people aren't fans, they are just freaks who should get a life and stop watching.
Loved the movie. One thing I'm left wondering is since Kang (and he who remains) speaks of his existence running in a circle and not linear, could him getting sucked in the probability storm actually contributed to the formation of all of the various Kangs?
Here's a theory: When Kang emerges into the MCU in Kang Dynasty, he wins because (as Ryan pointed out) the heroes are not a functioning team of Avengers and too disassociated to unite against him. This prompts the kids (Speed, Wiccan, Patriot, Hawkeye, etc) to come together as the Young Avengers to win the Secret Wars. Wasn't the Young Avengers' 1st opponent Kang in the comics?
I really enjoyed this video and looking forward to more of the theory videos. I think you are one of the only reviewer TH-camrs that seems to not only enjoy this movie but actually gets what was going on.
I think two of my fave easter eggs were i) the fact that all the Scotts in the probability storm had to create a bridge using their own bodies (like ants) to reach the core; and ii) that the original company that became Atlas and later Marvel Comics was "Timely Comics"
I LOVE how HUMAN Kang appeared. It was the moment RIGHT before he went down to kill everyone… he had tears in his eyes. This was like the moment Thanos had tears in his eyes before killing his Daughter. Kang didn’t want to kill everyone but it was like he knew he had to, so he can save whatever was left of his plan.
The ooze is similar to the microbes in "High on Life" which was created by Justin Roiland. the microbes have to be absorbed to gain universal language comprehension.
Not sure if there are any Antz (1998) fans in the comments, but the scene with the ant tower and Hope extending her arm to help Scott is VERY reminiscent of a scene from Antz towards the end as the ants try to escape their flooded ant hill. Too appropriate and clever to be just a coincidence. I’m surprised TH-camrs did not make this connection. 👌🏾
Hank mentions he was with someone named Linda and Janet asked how was it. Hank says that it wasn't her. Indiana Jones said the same thing about Marion in the Crystal Skulls movie.
In the fight versus Kang at the end Kang comments how Scott wasn’t supposed to do a move indicating that Kang‘s ability to read time was somehow not working perfectly.
I heard a rumor Loki would be looking for He Who Remains in Season 2. Although that would be a change from last season. It does seem like the TVA will soon learn "free will" leads to multiversal war. But there must be some better compromise than "only one timeline" (what makes it sacred to he who remains? ravonna?) and "no timelines or else there is war (kang in this movie). Shouldn't there be a variant of Kang (Immortus maybe?) who would monitor several timelines with the TVA but try to keep them from having incursions? (Isn't that also supposed to be what the Sorcerer Supreme's job is? To protect this reality? He should help too.) Then you could have several teams--either Avengers or Fantastic Four or whatever--running at the same time? Parallel realities, no un-supervised cutting across. Not a crazy Council of Kangs like we see in this. More like an Avengers team made of Kangs? (Maybe he needs to be part of a team? Like in Young Avengers? Or experienced family with the Fantastic Four? Something sappy like that?) He Who Remains had the idea of passing the gig on. Couldn't he give it to the Fantastic Four or something? Also, do we know what timeline the Loki show is in now? But they were saying Mobius was in "Deadpool" so is it possible it's in the X-Men timeline now as branched as it is? As odd as it is, I feel like Kang and Loki represent order versus chaos in the universe, and I think these two need to hash it out.
When Kang arrived in the QR, it’s shot from the same angle as when Loki used the tesseract in his show. Both were shot from afar from the top left and landed in the opposite corner, kind of linking them together. Could be a reach but I thought it was interesting
Hey there Ryan, hope you and Doug doing good ! Thanks so much for all the work and effort for all your vids, I’m hyped for phase 5 🥳 And in case you read comments, keep going ! ✌️
Peyton Reed has talked about how he did the making-of documentaries for Back to The Future II and III, and that the moment in Quantumania where Hank enlarges the pizza was a nod to Part II's pizza scene.
I don’t know if it just me, but the plot in this movie reminds me of the plot of Tron Legacy. Another version of some character who is in another world of the other and needs an object to conquer that world.
just got done watching Antman 3. Not to spoil but it does not state the time line the movie is at. so its hard to tell. Its a spoil but not really. as far as time line they do not state it in the movie. so for all we know this could happen before doctor strange and the universe of madiness.
@@anthonygordon9483 I'm pretty sure it was more than one universe. They just teased the multiverse to us coz later they would have to show it grand scale in Avengers Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars
Other things to note: (1) When Kang's faceplate pulls back to reveal his skin, the last part of him to have the blue color fade is his eyes. That, and the subtle finger-waving, indicates that his technological prowess is controlled directly by his mind. (2) When Cassie says "Don't be a dick", she's referring to Wheaton's Law, which honors Wil Wheaton. (3) In one scene, while Kang is viewing the Multiverse, we can see Incursions ON the timeline as small sparks or fireworks.
*I think the citadel at the end of time is all that is left of the place where the Kangs were meeting after the multiversal war tore it apart. I also think the 3 kangs were the statues in said citadel and the broken statue we saw on the floor was the 4th kang they threw down the outcast conqueror. Who is the very same he who remains after winning, the broken statues visage returned victorious over all the rest. Now eternally watching the perfect sacred timeline pruning any errant branches which lead to challenges to his power. Set on a specific precarious path which stops other Kangs from existing but leaves the universe exactly where it needed to be for the first Kang to be born again if control was ever lost. Like a ball at the top of a hill, easy to hold up but with so much potential to go downward and without the effort will fall down inevitably. Loki and Slyvie were his chance at true freedom, a chance to finally die while maintaining the balance preventing him from returning but with a safety mechanism that if ever things got out of control he would arise again to make sure he, or other beings who would eventually make his same mistake from destroying everything. He was warning them they were playing with fire and now he is suffering the worst penance for a man who wanted to rule everything...Eternal watch of that thing over and over the same boring loop to protect the universe from himself as punishment for his own desire to rule it all. Like red skull set to watch over the very stone he sought damned to never have it. The MCU is so good.
I think Ant-Man didn't get tired from turning giant. Not only cuz he's getting used to it but because they're tiny so they're not really getting bigger than their original size. I don't know. Makes sense to me
To be honest, this channel is great on its own, but having Doug included just makes it straight *amazing*! Like, how often do you get something as dorky as easter egg breakdowns combined with something as cute as a little pup in a shirt?!
James E Woo and Scott Lang is actually one of my all times bromances to ever exist just had to say it I would watch the shittiest sitcom ever made as long as they were the stars of the show 😂😂😂😭❤️❤️❤️
If Janet had the pym particles to grow with her when she entered the quantum realm, why didn’t she use them just like ant man did in the original movie to get out? That’s what confuses me.
Bc they were never truly in the quantum realm, if you see it again. Listen to Janet describe how they never seen it the first time. They breeched, the quantum bubble? Or something lol
I love your breakdowns. I can watch your videos all day. Love it and the way the context is described and iterated. Well done very easy to understand. My man. Keep it up !!
There's also a council of reeds and kang is related to Reed Richards. I feel like there's something there when Reed rebuilds the multiverse in one arc also.
My son and I enjoyed this movie a lot! It was fun, and the creatures in the Quantum Realm looked awesome. Kang was awesome! His suit looked so awesome. I was surprised by the ending though, I expected Scott and Hope were going to be trapped in the Quantum Realm. I did like how paranoid Scott was at the end though. He knows something bad is coming
Loved your video Ryan. The effort is amazing. After my second viewing a noticed this: The end fight is about Scott becoming the hero he will be moving forward. Scott can no longer “look the other way.” He learned this from Cap, who moves when he “sees a situation pointed south.” He also knows that “he doesn’t have to win, they both just have to lose.” He learned this from Tony and his sacrifice. (I found the influences deep)
Just saw it cuz it’s one Disney+ now… the whole time I’m saying to myself, “this is Tron and Tron legacy” the music cues, Kang and Clu was almost the same character. Especially when he put the core (memory disc) in, the building transformed to a ship and ready to bring an army to the real world with him… But I kinda liked this movie, could’ve been a bit more serious at some parts but not as bad as earlier projects.
I NEED the full version of Doug singing, “We Built This City.” There will be bgv’s, harmony and if at all possible a full orchestra. Make. This. Happen. :-)
YYYYOOOOOO after rewatching loki before watching this i think noticed an easter egg from loki that ties to the counsel of kang's, because there is 3 main kangs running the counsel now, i believe there was originally 4, the 4th being the exiled kang, and in the citadel at the end of time there was 4 statues and 1 was broken leaving 3. i believe the councle did that at a point in time after exiling him when they ruled from that citadel, before he who remains weaponized aliath and won the miltiversal war
i felt like when scott ate the cake with the ant on it its like when Rick and Morty came back from their "quantum universe" (rick's battery) and there was spiders in the ice cream. toooootally a nod tyo the show lol
Always disagree that Scott Lang is not a smart guy (~6:40ish). He is a degreed MIT engineer who could hack a major corporation's internal systems. It is that he consistently is paired against Hank Pym, or Tony Stark, or Bruce Banner when it comes to intellectual dialog.
Honestly it was money and time I'll never get back. Something told me to to wait and watch on Disney +. I wish I would've, at home I could've turned it off and did more productive stuff.
Best theory I could think of that makes Eternals borderline watchable. A variant of Kang created the Celestials of 616 and programmed them to create eternals on different planets, in search of a planet that would produce another Kang variant. If the algorithm determined the planet became powerful and advanced (i.e. heavily populated/super humans and nanotech) and a Kang variant had not been produced, that planet would be pruned, and another Celestial would continue until a Kang was created. If the Eternals wouldn’t have interfered with Earth’s destruction, Kang would not have been created. That’s why Arisham takes the Eternals to some unknown place for judgement. He’s taking them to Kang to dictate whether or not Earth was the intended birthplace of 616 Kang. Pls like this so it doesn’t get buried and Ryan can see it 😭❤️🙏
Just saw Quantumania, This felt like a Kang movie more than an Ant-man movie, in the start Kang is tossing enemies around like rocks and claims killing Avenegers meanwhile towards the end they totally jumped over that. As much as a love Paul Rudd i will always watch Ant-man even though the story feels like it was written by a child.
Holy shit. This is a long video! I thought I had time to watch a quick little fifteen minute one before I had to leave, but I'll have to get back to this. Haha thanks Ryan! Love your work.
I could be wrong but I think people are missing it the reason Hank was able to go toe to toe with him for a stretch at the end is because his suit was damaged so he didn't have the power of it. Kang is not a powerful being outside of his suit. Without it I'm thinking hes just a man
I feel so proud of myself for predicting that Darren Cross would become MODOK and that Scott wouldn't die. I seriously feel like I was one of 10 people on earth who knew Marvel wouldn't kill him off in his third film.
I think the big sizing of the pizza was also a reference to Pym’s kitchen in Disney’s California Adventure where the food is enlarged through Pym technology.
I'm actually looking forward to more Kangs. Jonathan Majors is awesome. I haven't been this exciting about seeing a villain since Rogue One A Star Wars Story.
Great video! Thank you for not hating on the movie! I thought it was quite good, understandably not without its faults. I could have sworn I saw Bug from the Micronauts in a head shot walking across the screen at the end after the successful revolution. It seemed very deliberate. Anyway, I see a lot of potential with this Council of Kangs for the future (think FF versus Ramen Tut etc.).
Darren's ultimate work of villainy was turning a man to a shrunken goo pile and flushing said goo pile man down a toilet. That's unredeemable. And you don't redeem M.O.D.O.K.. Ever. Period.
Also when the hammer head dude shoots at kang, the way he redirects the blast and ends up blowing dude’s head up, is very similar to how Shang chi fights with the rings
Since the door closes before re opening. The time dialation would have taken place in the few seconds between door openings. That few seconds in the QR for Scott and hope would have been minimally weeks for Cassie, Hank and Janet to find a way to open another door.

Kang has seen that it is broken and understands the mechanics of it.

The scene with the multiple Scott's. A part you missed was how this part connects to how the ants work together for one singular goal. Just like how the ants were listening to Scott his multi selves had to do the same in order to get to their goal. This part was brilliant.
Also notice how they all wanted to save Cassie!
That’s what I thought when they made the tower
The tower is something that ants do. They can form bridges and even rafts by linking together. It’s probably the most ant-y thing Ant-Man has ever done
Kinda thought that was obvious…
I caught that when they made the bridge
When Kang asked if Scott was the Avenger with the hammer, there probably was a timeline where Scott was worthy 😮
Multiverse Theory
I was gonna say nah it was Thor. But considering kang is a genius, meaning that kind of mistake doesn't make sense. So damn you might be right
Good one
Good call
Secret wars or kangs dynasty. Pym particle thors hammer to be giant
I kinda wished Scott and Hope got trapped in the quantum realm at the end. I feel like that would've been an interesting set up for future films
Exactly what I was thinking...
Nah, to much AM2/Endgame.
It was correct the way it was
@@Fadaar it’s because the gadget that can hold the signal of the gate on the other side was the transmitter Cassie build, she reopened the gate (Hank and Janet on her side as well)
You want a dark ending at the start of Phase 5?
Plus, that’s not very original!
@@otakumarcusIdk about them, but I want a dark ending. I want see Kang actually get some victories. Im not saying he should kill all the Avengers, but Kang got beaten so easily while having Sith powers and hand lasers.
Scott does have special skills. He’s an electrical engineer and is really really good at stealing things, hence why hank Pym and Kang both sought him out personally so steal things for/from them
When all of the Scott Langs work together in the probability storm to achieve one common goal was an awesome and simple metaphor to being Antman.
Scott: "Okay Im down here Darryl can you hear me? Daryl...Daryl!....sigh...Modok?
Daryl: "Yooo!
Scott: "What do I do now?"
Daryl: "Don't die?"
That shxt was so funny
@@Byronic19134 Darren.
@@qorpse lol dam bro I keep calling this motherfuccer Darryl
Exactly. As a daughter of a 2-year old angel, that scene was the best one for me. It shows how Lang is in every universe and probability, a heart-felt father who places the safety of his daughter above anything else 😭
imagine what kang is about to do in the probability storm by the end of kang dynasty he might even build his multiple versions of himself to take on the kang dynasty by end of that saga when he comes back
Kang told Janet twice that her daughter would open a portal, and she would be there. I forget the exact words, but it shows how his way of seeing time made him at least aware that those events would occur at some point. He asked her twice what she saw when she touched his mind, which makes me think that he has seen glimpses of what happens, but doesn't know every step of the way, otherwise he would have known her future answer. That makes his frustration with "losing" add up even though he knows he's going to accomplish his ultimate goal in the end, to "win"
Kang isn’t looking into the future. He is looking at it all at once. So he probably sees those events always happening. He just doesn’t know the context is all the time. It could be happening a few different ways. But what Janet saw was his memories of what he had already done. He had already erased timelines and universes. But seeing all potential events all at once must make things blurry.
Kang can see his winning but can't see the direct path to get there. His curse is being able to see all time, all realities. It's like being able to see yourself becoming like the greatest president ever but having no idea how to get there. Infinite choices is alot to narrow down to one correct choice.

I think Kang is actually the one who becomes He who remains. You can see his motives is to save the multiverse but he’s going about it the wrong way for now. I like the complexity of his character.
I think they're different but have a similar idea.
I thought the variant from Loki was he who remains
@@alemotapenn He is. If you listen to what he says, he's describing pruning time to make a sacred timeline.
@@alemotapennthey are arguing the point this Kang, is the same one. Just billions of years younger
This whole thread is hilarious and shows ppl still don’t get the concept of kang lol. They don’t mean this kang is literally he who remains. It’s just like he says there will always be a he who remains rather there’s a stripe on his ass or his back 😂
Jonathan Majors's acting made this movie. He was outstanding!
A little too much though
Personally loved this movie. Can't wait to see where ,and when Nathaniel Richard variants continues to appear in phase 5/ 6. Jonathan majors is a great actor.
Really?! But he died in a very stupid way and never really fought. Not to mention the fact that he was supposed to be the big bad guy and he was just a guy that talked and tried to run away.
You can't like this movie and read or be familiar with the comics...
@@jasonrodriguez8569 its a bad movie overall
@@EeliOo He's not dead
@@jasonrodriguez8569 I read comic books but not so deeply. Didnt read anything about Kang and very little about Ant-man. Albeit, this movie was super fun. It fares triumphantly compared to the monstrosity that is phase 4.
My guy does the BEST reviews... I have a couple Marvel pages I routinely watch, but this one does the movies/TV shows total justice...thanks Ryan
Michelle P was acting her face off at the start of the movie. From the moment she hears the others were sending a signal to the QR, she is visibly terrified and literally trembling I thought she did a good job of portraying genuine fear of Kang. She's a literal ex-superhero, and still Kang is causing her that much fear. That really helps set up the idea that Kang's ruthlessness and what he has the ability to do must be really really bad for her to react like that
No she wasn't good she was honestly very bad if that's good acting I'm glad you don't give away awards
Also you make post like a child like you make post just come off so fake like dude this is real life not everything needs to be praised for attention your comment is like a post you want to get pinned
That scene was so good because Hank and Hope were both like Janet calm down, but Scott see the look of terror on her face and was like what Am I missing, than the movie basically starts
@@Byronic19134 are you a bot? Wtf
Agreed!!
Also the fact that Janet helped Kang fix his core explains her advanced knowledge when she came out of the QR the first time and might be important in later fights against him
Which is also why in Kang Dynasty, Kang will go after the Ant-Man crew immediately.
Feige should make a marvel special of 1 hour with Luis telling the entire infinity saga from iron man 1 all the way to endgame.
That way for new fans to catch up. Come on Kevin Do IT!!!
I thought the reason the probabilities disappeared in the storm was because Scott and Hope interacted with each other, collapsing the waveform. I like your reasoning for it too though.
Call me crazy, but I think Ant-Man is one of the most dangerous characters in the MCU. As Giant-Man, he one-punched space whales and stomped Hulk-tier beings like Cull Obsidian into the ground. But with Pym Particles, Ant-Man can destroy enemies at the subatomic level. He's mind-bogglingly dangerous, and the only reason he's not S-tier is he's played by the kindhearted Paul Rudd. Wait that does make him S-tier.
Ofcourse he is! He’s way underutilized in the mcu. I’m glad we got to see giant man more in the movie. The avengers cartoons ant man always kicks ass and puts hulk in his place. I love ant man !
There's also the option for antman to get inside a villain and grow to giant man like termite from the boys. Prolly never gonna happen on the mcu but its funny and very powerful
In _What If_ Hank Pym murdered the Avengers by himself 🤷♂️
Tru dat. They had to have Scott funny & cute. Otherwise dark Antman wud b tremendous 😰
Ant man could have easily killed Thanos by stepping on him as giant man
Also the way their suits are designed now are a subtle nod to Iron Man on how they’re activated on their chests - I guess Hank got inspired in the quantum heist suits Tony did in Endgame to upgrade them.
I’m sure during Endgame that Tony showed Scott a few things and Scott also learned a few things. We just didn’t see those scenes.
Kang is def still alive ,he's probably the reason for Shang Chi post credit scene 100% gonna have the beyonders powers from dying by the power source.
That version of Kang died l, he has plenty of other variants to pick up his slack
@@IAmMightyMike Wrong Michael.
He was confirmed dead by the other Kang variants himself. Do you think those beings are wrong?
Well I might be wrong … But the Kang from this movie is the only one who has those face markings… So in the comics he’s the one who’s usually the Big Bad so he’ll be back… Also I’m not 100% sure but I think He was sucked into the probability Storm ⛈️ so with that many versions of himself working on a couple of problems he should be back worst or maybe better than ever 😉
The thing is there are MULTIPLE Kangs so whatever Kang reference you think you've noticed could originated from any Kang while the one in the movie is probably still dead
Absolutely no one is talking about the group of crystal looking people in the freedom fighters. They looked a lot like the infinity stones that Thanos “reduced to atoms”
Yo, that's fuckin wild
I just saw the movie I didn’t notice any crystal ppl
@@lbabytutorials4852 in the settlement that Scott and Cassie first went to, there people in cloaks but their heads resemble infinity stone fragments
I saw that and thought the same thing!
Crystar
We never see Hope and Scott actually go back through the time portal Cassie opened. How do we know they went back to the correct timeline? Maybe that's why Scott feels off?
Maybe Hope's new highlighted hairdo is a clue...?
that 5 minutes in quantum relm is days maybie months in real world
@@simicbranislav4473 i think that was upper quantum realm .. the one at the end of antman 2... but here it is a civilized quantum realm and somehow matches with earth's time
@@omkarbehra1967 ants went 1000 years in a second soo who knows
I was thinking that.
There was also an important Kang variant connecting to Loki. Mr Gryphon was seen in business attire in the Council of Kangs scene. This of course connects to the Qeng Industries tower in episode 4 of Loki
Every supervillain needs a army. Marvels needs to start grouping the villains together (forget the army’s). And they need to win sometimes
Thanos won.

I noticed this little Easter Egg while watching the movie. The corridors or hallways of Kangs Tower in the Quantum Realm looks similar if not identical to the corridors/hallways of the TVA. I liked that little detail coz it shows that Kang and He Who Remains (who created the TVA) are more or less one in the same.
I loved this film. Kang was amazing.
I totally said the same-thing during the movie. I said it reminded me so much of TVA hallways/rooms.
first thing i do when i leave a marvel movie is stalk your page for the easter egg video, you never disappoint.
Same!
One thing nobody has pointed out was The Void from Loki got a shoutout that might be a big Easter egg - when Hank asked Janet why he able to detect the civilization part of the quantum realm, she says he wasn’t looking deep enough, and had to go beyond The Void and some other place. The Void being where Alioth was in Loki. ITS ALL CONNECTED
Glad you pointed this out! Soon as Janet said the Void, Loki episode 5 popped in my head!
The Quantum Void is the outermost layer of the Quantum Realm; We've seen it in the first Ant-Man and Doctor Strange films. It's an empty void full of ever changing geometric shapes. The layer further beyond the Void is the Wasteland, and that's the part of the Quantum Realm we heavily saw in the second Ant-Man film.
The "Void" from Loki is something else entirely, that's at the end of time.
I think that this movie could have been better if Scott or one in the party could have been severely damaged somehow to highlight how dangerous and how lucky there were to escape Kang.
Yesss
Seriously. This guy is supposed to be the next thanos but gets beaten by the comedic relief avenger lmao
Kangs main reason why he is so powerful is because of his use of time travel, he does not have that ability while in the quantum realm. If Antman we’re to fight him outside on earth he wouldn’t stand a chance
this kang was little bit kind and good so....
@@leighhall3521 yes but it does not make us hold our nerve in a thought of avengers has to fight kang like it did to us before and after watching infinity war and before going to watch endgame , it makes us feel like if super powerful heroes like scarlet witch , dr.strange , cpt marvel , thor , adam warlick , hulk and powerful eternals fights together they could easily beat kang the conqueror ,
their is no sense of threat that we feel for heroes like we did against thanos even before watching infinity war even ant man doesn't and will be super confidence and will not be scared of kang , he alone with hank , hope his daughter gave kang tough time , he will surely be super confident if he is standing side to said with every avengers plus other powerful heroes,
if this movie was setting up kang for avengers dynasty and trying to make our nerves hold in a thought that our heroes have to face kang then it did very bad job of doing that , we only imagine kang will be more powerful but based on this movie our heroes can easily defeat the kang .
You guys forget the time difference. In the few seconds lived by Scott and hope at the end before the second door opens, would have been weeks for Cassie to have time to fix her invention and open a new door. This explains why she is in different clothing.
if a few seconds is weeks
then how does anyone in the quantum realm remember janet
and how is janet still alive ( or rather how is anyone else still alive )
if a few seconds in quantum realm is weeks on earth and janet was there for 30 years then DAMN
Well they don't add up anyway. Scott says 5 hours equalled 5 years during the blip... That's why they did what they did in endgame remember. So we know there is time dialation. The figures I just was using as an example
You guys have to pay attention to what was said in the movie. Janet was in quantum realm where time (apparently) passes the same as how it does on Earth. At the end of Antman 2, scott was stuck in a time vortex where (apparently) he spent 5 hourd which equalled 5 years on Earth. When Cassie opens the portal, Hope and Scott were in quantum realm so it didn't take days or weeks back on Earth. All of that happened around the same timw
@@keerthichandra376 I need a diagram 🙈🙈
Brilliant
I’ve been watching your videos for years and just realized Doug is not only a stand in for the audience asking questions but also provides the pause in between explanations like when movies pause in fight scenes to give your brain a break.
Love this breakdown! Thank you for your enthusiasm for this movie. I feel that so many people are picking these movies apart and can't see the fun!
Hate how all the critics almost made me not watch the movie I honestly liked it I give it a 7/10 wish they didn’t just kill off MODOK and used him as a more serious villain he could have not been added to the movie and it wouldn’t have mattered
Yeah it seemed like the reviewers all had a meeting and decided they were going to hate the movie, rather than just be objective. What I watched was amazing. Part of the experience of marvel for me is loving the movie, then going online to see other people loving it too. I just loved the feeling of being a community in it. Then with Dr strange multiverse of madness it just ended. I loved the movie, then everyone hated it. I could see why they hated it, but I didn't go in with giga bazillion expectations, pretty much guaranteeing that it would disappoint. I went in excited to see a Sam Raimi marvel movie and was not disappointed. But this movie? I loved this movie and the reviewers just seem like they think they're too damn cool now. What a shame.
@@Hussemo same experience for me. Multiverse of madness was a huge disappointment, then Love and Thunder was nail on the coffin. I gave up on Marvel after that. Wakanda forever was a bit promising but at the end it didnt do much for me but with Quantumania, it feels like MCU is back with a bang. Hope they continue servicing their fandom this way rather than crapping on them like how She-hulk did.
@@keerthichandra376 exactly. You and I agree on all of that except Dr strange. But I've always been a huge fan of Raimi's style. So yes, to me, this movie brought the MCU back. And hopefully it continues. Like the jumping off point that winter soldier was for the infinity saga.
We really liked this movie, it had so many great visuals & ideas. Kang was portrayed so well by Jonathan, like he already did with He Who Remains. The interconnections are great. We also enjoyed Multiverse of Madness. But there are so many people nowadays who like to put everything down that's not exactly as they imagined. Everyone thinks he is the perfect director/writer/cinematographer and knows best. This constant whining is so annoying, and you have it everywhere, in every franchise. These people aren't fans, they are just freaks who
should get a life and stop watching.
Loved the movie. One thing I'm left wondering is since Kang (and he who remains) speaks of his existence running in a circle and not linear, could him getting sucked in the probability storm actually contributed to the formation of all of the various Kangs?
Oooo yes, that part 🤔
Love this theory. Great observation.
No. When he got sucked inside the core, paralelly other Kang variants already existed. Probability storm doesnt create actual variants
Here's a theory: When Kang emerges into the MCU in Kang Dynasty, he wins because (as Ryan pointed out) the heroes are not a functioning team of Avengers and too disassociated to unite against him. This prompts the kids (Speed, Wiccan, Patriot, Hawkeye, etc) to come together as the Young Avengers to win the Secret Wars. Wasn't the Young Avengers' 1st opponent Kang in the comics?
I really enjoyed this video and looking forward to more of the theory videos. I think you are one of the only reviewer TH-camrs that seems to not only enjoy this movie but actually gets what was going on.
I appreciate the Jimmy Woo card trick arc focus. Thank you, Ryan!
I think two of my fave easter eggs were i) the fact that all the Scotts in the probability storm had to create a bridge using their own bodies (like ants) to reach the core; and ii) that the original company that became Atlas and later Marvel Comics was "Timely Comics"
Scott is stuck in a time loop... the song "welcome back " playing in the background as he's walking is very telling... like he's in a sitcom...
*WandaVision theme plays in the distance*
i thought the post credit scene was gonna be a reveal of this too.
It's actually a good throw back to "Staying Alive" strutting and won't be surprised if it's referenced later lol
I LOVE how HUMAN Kang appeared. It was the moment RIGHT before he went down to kill everyone… he had tears in his eyes. This was like the moment Thanos had tears in his eyes before killing his Daughter. Kang didn’t want to kill everyone but it was like he knew he had to, so he can save whatever was left of his plan.
My favorite bit in this movie is they almost down scott with that liquid, but Hank, Janet, and hope just take a shot of it.
My favorite bit was just after that. “He has seven holes” “……. Yeah that’s right”
i think it’s because they’re antes him to drink it so by putting so much in his mouth he would’ve had to swallow at least a bit of the ooze
I liked Quantumania before but this video helped me appreciate it a bit more...
Already looking to go for a rewatch
Did you spot any Easter Eggs we missed?
The ooze is similar to the microbes in "High on Life" which was created by Justin Roiland. the microbes have to be absorbed to gain universal language comprehension.
Not sure if there are any Antz (1998) fans in the comments, but the scene with the ant tower and Hope extending her arm to help Scott is VERY reminiscent of a scene from Antz towards the end as the ants try to escape their flooded ant hill. Too appropriate and clever to be just a coincidence. I’m surprised TH-camrs did not make this connection. 👌🏾
Hank mentions he was with someone named Linda and Janet asked how was it. Hank says that it wasn't her. Indiana Jones said the same thing about Marion in the Crystal Skulls movie.
In the fight versus Kang at the end Kang comments how Scott wasn’t supposed to do a move indicating that Kang‘s ability to read time was somehow not working perfectly.
12:39 the customers not employees, cause they over charged by millions and refused to refund them when Scott pointed it out (kinda like Wells Fargo)
Ryan and Doug didn't talk about how all the "possible Scotts" formed a mass bridge out of their bodies like ants do in nature
Missed that one, didn't he. I loved that part
I heard a rumor Loki would be looking for He Who Remains in Season 2. Although that would be a change from last season. It does seem like the TVA will soon learn "free will" leads to multiversal war. But there must be some better compromise than "only one timeline" (what makes it sacred to he who remains? ravonna?) and "no timelines or else there is war (kang in this movie). Shouldn't there be a variant of Kang (Immortus maybe?) who would monitor several timelines with the TVA but try to keep them from having incursions? (Isn't that also supposed to be what the Sorcerer Supreme's job is? To protect this reality? He should help too.) Then you could have several teams--either Avengers or Fantastic Four or whatever--running at the same time? Parallel realities, no un-supervised cutting across.
Not a crazy Council of Kangs like we see in this. More like an Avengers team made of Kangs? (Maybe he needs to be part of a team? Like in Young Avengers? Or experienced family with the Fantastic Four? Something sappy like that?) He Who Remains had the idea of passing the gig on. Couldn't he give it to the Fantastic Four or something?
Also, do we know what timeline the Loki show is in now? But they were saying Mobius was in "Deadpool" so is it possible it's in the X-Men timeline now as branched as it is?
As odd as it is, I feel like Kang and Loki represent order versus chaos in the universe, and I think these two need to hash it out.
When Kang arrived in the QR, it’s shot from the same angle as when Loki used the tesseract in his show. Both were shot from afar from the top left and landed in the opposite corner, kind of linking them together. Could be a reach but I thought it was interesting
Hey there Ryan, hope you and Doug doing good !
Thanks so much for all the work and effort for all your vids, I’m hyped for phase 5 🥳
And in case you read comments, keep going ! ✌️
Peyton Reed has talked about how he did the making-of documentaries for Back to The Future II and III, and that the moment in Quantumania where Hank enlarges the pizza was a nod to Part II's pizza scene.
I know some did not like this movie but I enjoyed it. It was fun to see a movie and have a fun time.
I don’t know if it just me, but the plot in this movie reminds me of the plot of Tron Legacy. Another version of some character who is in another world of the other and needs an object to conquer that world.
I think this was Doug’s best video, I love his one liners. ❤
So, if time and space do not exist in the Quantum Realm, does that mean it's possible Scott could possibly remember Peter Parker as Spiderman?
scott was in earth at that time of no way home events.. so he wont remember
@@omkarbehra1967 who played that light head guy?
just got done watching Antman 3. Not to spoil but it does not state the time line the movie is at. so its hard to tell. Its a spoil but not really. as far as time line they do not state it in the movie. so for all we know this could happen before doctor strange and the universe of madiness.
@@michaelmeyers6008 Jamie Andrew cutler ... As per IMDb
@@anthonygordon9483 I'm pretty sure it was more than one universe. They just teased the multiverse to us coz later they would have to show it grand scale in Avengers Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars
I keep on thinking the “banished” Kang was actually He who Remains. We do see his death.
This the best review of the movie I've seen so far. It's clear how much thought and consideration went into it.
They way Kang reversed that torch head thing's light (not a comic book guy so idk his name) was similar how shang chi took control of the rings
I've been saying that the rings and the colors of the energy they project are all connected to Shang chi.
Other things to note:
(1) When Kang's faceplate pulls back to reveal his skin, the last part of him to have the blue color fade is his eyes. That, and the subtle finger-waving, indicates that his technological prowess is controlled directly by his mind.
(2) When Cassie says "Don't be a dick", she's referring to Wheaton's Law, which honors Wil Wheaton.
(3) In one scene, while Kang is viewing the Multiverse, we can see Incursions ON the timeline as small sparks or fireworks.
I loved it. The movie was exactly what I expected and a great start to the Kang saga.
The your mom joke in these videos always destroys me every damn time 😂😂😂 goddamn it
Another incredible breakdown thank u Ryan and Screencrush!!
*I think the citadel at the end of time is all that is left of the place where the Kangs were meeting after the multiversal war tore it apart. I also think the 3 kangs were the statues in said citadel and the broken statue we saw on the floor was the 4th kang they threw down the outcast conqueror. Who is the very same he who remains after winning, the broken statues visage returned victorious over all the rest. Now eternally watching the perfect sacred timeline pruning any errant branches which lead to challenges to his power. Set on a specific precarious path which stops other Kangs from existing but leaves the universe exactly where it needed to be for the first Kang to be born again if control was ever lost. Like a ball at the top of a hill, easy to hold up but with so much potential to go downward and without the effort will fall down inevitably.
Loki and Slyvie were his chance at true freedom, a chance to finally die while maintaining the balance preventing him from returning but with a safety mechanism that if ever things got out of control he would arise again to make sure he, or other beings who would eventually make his same mistake from destroying everything.
He was warning them they were playing with fire and now he is suffering the worst penance for a man who wanted to rule everything...Eternal watch of that thing over and over the same boring loop to protect the universe from himself as punishment for his own desire to rule it all. Like red skull set to watch over the very stone he sought damned to never have it.
The MCU is so good.
I think Ant-Man didn't get tired from turning giant. Not only cuz he's getting used to it but because they're tiny so they're not really getting bigger than their original size. I don't know. Makes sense to me
True but Cassie got tired
@@jaywest6537 yeah but for antmans first time he fell asleep for 3 days after so she only got a little tired cause there still small technically lol
Wasn’t really feelin this movie after seeing it but after watching this video I appreciate it a lot it more.
Did anybody notice that the core Michelle Pfeiffer help Kang recharge look just like the window of Doctor Strange sanctorum?
This Kang is who becomes he who remains. He was even pruning timelines and got exiled for it
To be honest, this channel is great on its own, but having Doug included just makes it straight *amazing*! Like, how often do you get something as dorky as easter egg breakdowns combined with something as cute as a little pup in a shirt?!
James E Woo and Scott Lang is actually one of my all times bromances to ever exist just had to say it I would watch the shittiest sitcom ever made as long as they were the stars of the show 😂😂😂😭❤️❤️❤️

If Janet had the pym particles to grow with her when she entered the quantum realm, why didn’t she use them just like ant man did in the original movie to get out? That’s what confuses me.
I thought this 1000 times they all have growth partials but don’t use it
Bc they were never truly in the quantum realm, if you see it again. Listen to Janet describe how they never seen it the first time. They breeched, the quantum bubble? Or something lol
The movie shows the "pym rings" only grows something like 50ft. She'd need thousands.
@@robertchop7493 yeah or something. LOL is right. what a handwaved-off explanation.

I love your breakdowns. I can watch your videos all day. Love it and the way the context is described and iterated. Well done very easy to understand. My man. Keep it up !!
Jonathan Majors saved the movie, because I felt really long. But your videos make everything better and I can't wait for the future to see Kang again.
...
It didn't feel long to me, but Majors definitely made the movie. His acting was outstanding!
There's also a council of reeds and kang is related to Reed Richards. I feel like there's something there when Reed rebuilds the multiverse in one arc also.
So basically, Loki already showed us how phases 5-6 ended? Nice.
My son and I enjoyed this movie a lot! It was fun, and the creatures in the Quantum Realm looked awesome. Kang was awesome! His suit looked so awesome. I was surprised by the ending though, I expected Scott and Hope were going to be trapped in the Quantum Realm. I did like how paranoid Scott was at the end though. He knows something bad is coming
Loved your video Ryan. The effort is amazing. After my second viewing a noticed this:
The end fight is about Scott becoming the hero he will be moving forward. Scott can no longer “look the other way.” He learned this from Cap, who moves when he “sees a situation pointed south.” He also knows that “he doesn’t have to win, they both just have to lose.” He learned this from Tony and his sacrifice. (I found the influences deep)
The fact that he's not smart fighter just normal person that defeated Kang, just doesn't sit right with me... the ending crush the movie....
Just saw it cuz it’s one Disney+ now… the whole time I’m saying to myself, “this is Tron and Tron legacy” the music cues, Kang and Clu was almost the same character. Especially when he put the core (memory disc) in, the building transformed to a ship and ready to bring an army to the real world with him…
But I kinda liked this movie, could’ve been a bit more serious at some parts but not as bad as earlier projects.
I NEED the full version of Doug singing, “We Built This City.” There will be bgv’s, harmony and if at all possible a full orchestra. Make. This. Happen. :-)
YYYYOOOOOO after rewatching loki before watching this i think noticed an easter egg from loki that ties to the counsel of kang's, because there is 3 main kangs running the counsel now, i believe there was originally 4, the 4th being the exiled kang, and in the citadel at the end of time there was 4 statues and 1 was broken leaving 3. i believe the councle did that at a point in time after exiling him when they ruled from that citadel, before he who remains weaponized aliath and won the miltiversal war
i felt like when scott ate the cake with the ant on it its like when Rick and Morty came back from their "quantum universe" (rick's battery) and there was spiders in the ice cream. toooootally a nod tyo the show lol
The Micronauts were the first comic I got into in the 80s. Introduced me right into the greater Marvel universe. Great stuff.
I got so surprised when i saw Loki and Mobius at the end that i teared up. Love the Loki series so much
Always disagree that Scott Lang is not a smart guy (~6:40ish). He is a degreed MIT engineer who could hack a major corporation's internal systems. It is that he consistently is paired against Hank Pym, or Tony Stark, or Bruce Banner when it comes to intellectual dialog.
“He has no special skills” Scott is a thief. He has a ton of skills.
Probability storm reminded me of the probability drive of the ship in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
THE MOVIE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD
Right?
Majors is a beast.... this guy is going to take Hollywood over
What did you think of the movie?
I really enjoyed it, not my favorite marvel movie, but sure my favorite ant-man !
PHASE 5 🎉
We need videos like this to save MCU’s character development 😂
It was very good. I loved the graphics of the quantum realm. Kang truly gave Conqueror vibes. I cannot wait to see the Council of Kang in action.
didn't bother watching it
Honestly it was money and time I'll never get back. Something told me to to wait and watch on Disney +. I wish I would've, at home I could've turned it off and did more productive stuff.
funny coming back to this, Loki solved the kang problem...
Best theory I could think of that makes Eternals borderline watchable.
A variant of Kang created the Celestials of 616 and programmed them to create eternals on different planets, in search of a planet that would produce another Kang variant. If the algorithm determined the planet became powerful and advanced (i.e. heavily populated/super humans and nanotech) and a Kang variant had not been produced, that planet would be pruned, and another Celestial would continue until a Kang was created.
If the Eternals wouldn’t have interfered with Earth’s destruction, Kang would not have been created. That’s why Arisham takes the Eternals to some unknown place for judgement.
He’s taking them to Kang to dictate whether or not Earth was the intended birthplace of 616 Kang.
Pls like this so it doesn’t get buried and Ryan can see it 😭❤️🙏
Just saw Quantumania, This felt like a Kang movie more than an Ant-man movie, in the start Kang is tossing enemies around like rocks and claims killing Avenegers meanwhile towards the end they totally jumped over that. As much as a love Paul Rudd i will always watch Ant-man even though the story feels like it was written by a child.
Holy shit. This is a long video! I thought I had time to watch a quick little fifteen minute one before I had to leave, but I'll have to get back to this. Haha thanks Ryan! Love your work.
I love these easter eggs, breakdowns, etc.
No bashing.
Which is awesome.
Its kinda sad that I'm no longer seeing a Stan Lee cameo 😢
Death is kinda sad
@@alexp601 They still could have a picture of him somewhere in the movie.
I could be wrong but I think people are missing it the reason Hank was able to go toe to toe with him for a stretch at the end is because his suit was damaged so he didn't have the power of it. Kang is not a powerful being outside of his suit. Without it I'm thinking hes just a man
I feel so proud of myself for predicting that Darren Cross would become MODOK and that Scott wouldn't die. I seriously feel like I was one of 10 people on earth who knew Marvel wouldn't kill him off in his third film.
I think the big sizing of the pizza was also a reference to Pym’s kitchen in Disney’s California Adventure where the food is enlarged through Pym technology.
I enjoyed the movie. A friend of mine rated it 8/10 and I agree.
Could the ten rings be a contingency plan for the banished kang in case he lost his empire ?
I'm actually looking forward to more Kangs. Jonathan Majors is awesome. I haven't been this exciting about seeing a villain since Rogue One A Star Wars Story.
Great video! Thank you for not hating on the movie! I thought it was quite good, understandably not without its faults. I could have sworn I saw Bug from the Micronauts in a head shot walking across the screen at the end after the successful revolution. It seemed very deliberate. Anyway, I see a lot of potential with this Council of Kangs for the future (think FF versus Ramen Tut etc.).
Darren's ultimate work of villainy was turning a man to a shrunken goo pile and flushing said goo pile man down a toilet. That's unredeemable. And you don't redeem M.O.D.O.K.. Ever. Period.
30:30 the probability stuff is ALSO pulled from Hitchhikers Guide. The movie did a great job with that one.
Why was Kang sweating hard when the others weren't
Quantum indigestion
