Lowkey marvel forgets most of their characters had friends or that some characters if they knew or had helped, there would not have been certain movies.
Because the characters own solo movies and stories don't actually matter, it's all about conecting the whole phase in order to get a bigger marketing for these movies and force the audience to watch each one of them since there isn't a solo story. Why would they care about the friends of a character that ends up being a side character himself on the bigger picture of the interconnected universe?

@@ikhoonyejelem2967 Bro, you misunderstood. They're saying that they LOVED previous Ant-Man films for NOT being high stakes and DID NOT love this one for being high-stakes.
@@ikhoonyejelem2967 That’s kind of my point… the first two Ant-Man movies did NOT have high stakes, and that’s why I liked them. Quantumania, on the other hand, tried to be high stakes, which is why I didn’t like it.
It's even better when the audience knows what they are hiding, and think they are idiots for concealing it from the rest of their family. This isn't Yellowjackets. You aren't keeping them safe by hiding what you did in the wilderness all those years. Especially since you're ALL back there now.
it's the usual movie convenience plot. nothing new. the moment I saw the ants were also dragged to the quantum realm, I knew they would be a plot twist later
This film proved to be an important showcase to never get too over-your-head when you're strong in the box office regularly. This was supposed to be the big start to the next phase, and the apathy for it has been surprising, while The Super Mario Bros film, and even John Wick 4, are having better showcases!
One thing I hate about this movie is how serious this movie is. The reason I love first ant man movie is fun, that's the charm of ant man movies. And they didn't include the three wombats was a HUGE mistake. You just can't make ant man movie without those three or atleast Luiz in it.
Kang was supposed to be the next Avengers-level threat since Thanos but fell flat after being beaten by an ex-Baskin Robbins employee of the month and his family who can shrink/grow and talk to ants.
I felt that at least one of them would have to sacrifice themselves to stop Kang (like "We both just have to lose") and bring back critical information to the Avengers, but they didn't. I'm told they changed the ending because kids didn't like that he'd be trapped in the Quantum Realm again like at the end of the last movie.
Yeah but it also shouldn't be bad special effects more alternative universe crap than the quantum realm, Kang is actually kinda dumb, and gg Modok was so bad looking and super stupid.@@fahimalfaisal7781
Watching Antman and the Wasp: Quantamania felt like watching a Star Wars film. The people of the Quantumverse looked like they could have appeared in Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy.
It's unbelievable how they didn't mention that. It really felt like that. Kang Vader even had his own stormtroopers. And the post credit scene just showed the citadel of ricks from rick and Morty. MCU has become so uninteresting.
The Jonathan majors thing was a good point. If someone else (or multiple other people) played kang’s infinite selves they could just say “oh look this variant of kang is the real threat” and ignore Jonathan’s controversy. Like literally they could just put a line in the script to that effect and move on. Now it’s gonna be harder.
@@agustinfranco0 True; I’m not denying that. But the point was if all the Kang variants were played by different actors, then all they needed to do was recast and do a little hand wave in the script. The change basically writes itself in this case. But since Jonathan plays all of them, it’s going to be infinitely harder to explain a recasting should it occur. They’d have to explain why he looks and sounds different from the other Kangs, or why all of the Kangs look like a different actor now. Of course, they may not explain it, but since its multiple multiversal representations of the main villain rather than a single minor character (ie War-machine), it would be more noticeable and jarring. Does that make sense?
@@dreamshakejunya He's saying they need to recast Jonathan Majors because he was arrested for assault. So, it would be harder for them to recast because the Antman shows he's the same on all multiverses, like Doctor Strange.

Yes. And while Ironheart was annoying, at least there is precedent from the comics that she is a genius. Cassie is just a normal girl. One of the great things about Marvel (and what made it more relatable than DC when I was growing up) was how many seemingly ordinary people became super heroes.
@@totesmagotes213 but even then, I don’t think anybody wants to watch Supersmug super genius #4 come in and just replace the characters you already liked.
Not so many people remember the first ant-man trailer so I thought I was alone in feeling nostalgic for that after this movie. What a weird conincidence.
This entire movie can be summarized with "I can't tell you b/c I'm trying to protect you". Which is ironic considering the entire movie wouldn't have happened if people just communicated.
No wonder this movie feels empty because Luis isn't there. I'd rather watching Michael Pèna recapping the entire MCU with his fast talking from his perspective.
Honestly, feel kinda bad for him, he was almost forced to do all these evil characters, pumped up with more roids that could kill a horse and then expected NOT to snap and hit a annoying girlfriend? We should give him a second chance and tell him to get off the roids.
I just ended up feeling bad for Peyton Reed, while watching this. You can tell he was trying *so hard* to turn the studio-mandated 2-hour exposition dump into something entertaining, but the deck was stacked against him in too many ways. That said, Scott going full kaiju mode while screaming "WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?!?!" was pretty goddamn epic.
The only good Ant-Man movie is the first one and he had the least say on that one since Edgar Wright did pretty much 80% of the work on that. So I don't trust Peyton at all.
Actually, after Batman Returns, they wanted to cast her again to reprise Catwoman but she denied it and Tim Burton also quits. Instead, they gave Halle Berry's Catwoman and you know the result is
@Robert Monroe I'm still hoping she'll be in _The Flash._ That would be an awesome reveal! Now that some have seen the film and spoilers are starting to show up, please don't tell me if you know one way or another.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed E in the movie! The best part of the film. The first thing I did when I left the premiere was confirm with him on Instagram that it was him. Eels will always be my favorite band.
Every Marvel movie these past 2 years I could see exactly what story they were trying to tell and what direction they were trying to develop the characters. Quantumania was the only one where I have no idea what they were aiming for exactly. You know something is wrong when She Hulk has more complex character development than what you wrote. Ah well at least Kang was cool.
It’s movies like this that me happy I always go into movies with the thought process of “what am I enjoying about this” instead of “what do I dislike about this movie”. It really lets me enjoy movies. Though with many movies like this I look back at all the plot holes and problems and realize there’s not much of a chance of me rewatching this movie that often.
The previous movie had the problem of having nothing to offer that wasn't in the trailers. Still, I was happy to watch it again on cable the week after seeing the third movie. Will I want to watch the third again? Probably not.
A core goal in storytelling is to establish the rules of the world and keep them consistent, otherwise you just descend into total meaningless fantasy where anything goes and any last-minute contrivance can save the day, resurrect the dead, etc. Even Shakespeare way back knew about the pointlessness of sound and fury.
@@rccomics I did watch it but after one season I zoned out, it's just very hyper and all over the place. Which is unfortunate because it's pretty funny.
I still don’t understand how or when the MCU started to become SO CAMPY. They don’t adapt things anymore. Now they simply slap stuff from the comics onto the screen but it just doesn’t work!
My takeaway from the "how many holes does Scott have" scene was that the telepath figured out the number by reading Scott's mind, and yet Scott himself seemed mildly surprised to learn the number afterwards. Which means the telepathy was most likely used for the sole purpose of finding out what kind of genitals Scott has.
I wish they would explain how mass works in this reality. Because on our Earth, if something is shrunk down, it wouldn't lose it's mass. It just baffles me that they can shrink down a car and just pick it up like it doesn't still weigh 2 tons, lol.
@@TighelanderII Back in the 80s, "The Atom" comics in DC made it a real big deal that the Atom can shrink his size and mass separately - so he could become super small and heavy or could also become super light for the purposes of super jumping around. Made the whole thing make a lot more sense (and was cool)
@@PatCaseyLA Didn't know that. Around 1980, I almost bought the first appearance for $5. I liked the Atom due to the cartoons, but when I started buying comics, I was less interested in those characters.
I love the Ant man movies for many reasons, but Luis’s recap is always the best part of those movies and I was looking forward to him narrating endgame, but he wasn’t even in the movie 😭😭

Yes. And while Ironheart was annoying, at least there is precedent from the comics that she is a genius. Cassie is just a normal girl. One of the great things about Marvel (and what made it more relatable than DC when I was growing up) was how many seemingly ordinary people became super heroes.
@@totesmagotes213 but even then, I don’t think anybody wants to watch Supersmug super genius #4 come in and just replace the characters you already liked.
The kids in these movies are Tik Tok self learned scientists, they trained by watching 10 seconds videos.
Not so many people remember the first ant-man trailer so I thought I was alone in feeling nostalgic for that after this movie. What a weird conincidence.
Yeah. It was so simple back in 2015.
Honestly I didn't remember that part at all but it seemed hilarious to see.
“Hope has returns with nothing new to offer besides her tactical hobbit hair”😂😂
This entire movie can be summarized with "I can't tell you b/c I'm trying to protect you". Which is ironic considering the entire movie wouldn't have happened if people just communicated.
Luis and the gang were definitely a missing element in this third installment of the Ant-Man series.
"X-Con" should have been a Disney+ show.
Yeah they where great. Their whole dynamic in the first one was great.
I'm sure that overworked FX artists would agree.
No wonder this movie feels empty because Luis isn't there. I'd rather watching Michael Pèna recapping the entire MCU with his fast talking from his perspective.
That awkward moment when the actor who portrays the antagonist becomes a problem in real life...
I feel like that should be a plus. Like there has to be an alternate universe where to play a villain you have to also be problematic enough irl
Plot twist: Johnathan Majors is our universe's Kang variant.
See also Ezra Miller. Maybe it has something to do with portraying multiversal time travellers.
Its the next step after forcing racial and sexual type casting. Hollywood is going for realism instead of acting.
Scientists call this the Spacey Effect.
5:03 Truly the most appropriate name _Honest Trailers_ have ever given anybody.
"Congratulations, I'm epic voice guy. You just won an epic lifetime amount of pooooo!"
1:30
Cause Hopefully... The Third Cassie's A Charm."
THAT'S A HARD "NOPE!"
Honestly surprised there weren't any Spy Kids jokes considering how similar the visual effects look
Jonathan Majors is such a good actor he took his villain role into the real world
Ive always heard that it's sometimes hard for method actors to turn it off
Honestly, feel kinda bad for him, he was almost forced to do all these evil characters, pumped up with more roids that could kill a horse and then expected NOT to snap and hit a annoying girlfriend? We should give him a second chance and tell him to get off the roids.
@@goldengrill769 Oh yeah, every guy who's under pressure and bulks up muscle hits his girlfriend. They have no choice.
@@goldengrill769 Yet, Christopher Lee played more bad guys than basically anybody and was married to one person for almost 60 years.
Guys, don’t go there.
I just ended up feeling bad for Peyton Reed, while watching this. You can tell he was trying *so hard* to turn the studio-mandated 2-hour exposition dump into something entertaining, but the deck was stacked against him in too many ways.
That said, Scott going full kaiju mode while screaming "WHERE'S MY DAUGHTER?!?!" was pretty goddamn epic.
He’s the one who wanted a high stakes avengers-level epic
The only good Ant-Man movie is the first one and he had the least say on that one since Edgar Wright did pretty much 80% of the work on that. So I don't trust Peyton at all.
I cannot believe I JUST NOW realized 'Ant Man' is sitting right there in Quantumania...
The person who came up with that was pretty clever, but when so many people didn't get it....
I'm having the worst kind of day today, and I needed this laugh. Thank you guys for doing what you do best.
2:24 This ad still hits SO HARD
4:08 Live action Minions movie happens, i am blaming Honest Trailers. XD
5:15 I'm giving this video a like just for that Bob's Burgers reference!
3:24 Kang's reactions I swear 😂💀
Putting minion voice to modok is so spot on!😂😂😂
I swear, when that part got brought up in the movie, I did about 2 minutes worth of "Hole Math"
Seeing Michelle Pfeiffer looking this good at her age, makes me still hope that one day we'll have a decent Catwoman movie...
Actually, after Batman Returns, they wanted to cast her again to reprise Catwoman but she denied it and Tim Burton also quits. Instead, they gave Halle Berry's Catwoman and you know the result is
@Robert Monroe I'm still hoping she'll be in _The Flash._ That would be an awesome reveal! Now that some have seen the film and spoilers are starting to show up, please don't tell me if you know one way or another.
@@margarethmichelina5146she wanted to do it but I think there were delays and she also had a kid around the time
This movie felt like a 2 hour long rick and morty episode, even the post credit scene.
3:46 Actually there was 6 MCU projects written by Rick and Morty. She Hulk and Pickle Rick
“Angsty teenager who says with a straight face to her superhero father who helped save the world that her protesting in San Francisco is more important than anything he’s done”
"Maybe the third Cassie's the charm" lmao
I'm glad that everyone agrees we needed Luis in this.
0:35 "Cool Cool Cool"
Me: 🥳🥳🥳🥳
0:08 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for keeping it real honest trailers. Y’all are the best!
The Creator Of Galaxies can decipher hidden messages without going to uncle.
Next one needs to be Picard Season 3. Let the 90s nostaliga flow!
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who noticed E in the movie! The best part of the film. The first thing I did when I left the premiere was confirm with him on Instagram that it was him. Eels will always be my favorite band.
That sadly does sound like the most interestimg thing about the movie even if it's nice to hear The Eels get some love.
It'd would've been cool if they added Jesus and his Lawyer coming back to the quantum realm.
Do *Robots (2005),* please!
Love that movie
They will pull some jokes for communism and Aunt Fanny's...
"The Mid Place" got me rolling on the floor with laughter delight. Thanks for remembering the Good Place ScreenJunkies!!
say: "When you have nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea"
I laughed so hard at “the mid place” xD
OHH I get it now. The Good Place.
I just realized that's the guy who plays Cidi from The Good Place.
“Tactical hobbit hair”😂😂😂
Double burn, since she was in at least one Hobbit movie.
I would say that when it comes to movies this one was just what we forgot to ask for.
Every Marvel movie these past 2 years I could see exactly what story they were trying to tell and what direction they were trying to develop the characters. Quantumania was the only one where I have no idea what they were aiming for exactly. You know something is wrong when She Hulk has more complex character development than what you wrote.
Ah well at least Kang was cool.
Wanted to disagree with you but I don't remember what movies came out the last two years so... You may have a point. When was No Way Home again?
One of the most accurate Honest Trailers i've seen
It’s movies like this that me happy I always go into movies with the thought process of “what am I enjoying about this” instead of “what do I dislike about this movie”. It really lets me enjoy movies.
Though with many movies like this I look back at all the plot holes and problems and realize there’s not much of a chance of me rewatching this movie that often.
The previous movie had the problem of having nothing to offer that wasn't in the trailers. Still, I was happy to watch it again on cable the week after seeing the third movie. Will I want to watch the third again? Probably not.
This was definitely one of the movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
One of the movies of all time
One of the best for sure
@@toyanthaog5109😂😂😂👎
Definatly another film. 11/10 for the goosebumps.
MODOK the MINION WAS SOOO FUNNNY BEST PART
A core goal in storytelling is to establish the rules of the world and keep them consistent, otherwise you just descend into total meaningless fantasy where anything goes and any last-minute contrivance can save the day, resurrect the dead, etc. Even Shakespeare way back knew about the pointlessness of sound and fury.
Have you ever seen Rick & Morty? 😂
@@rccomics I did watch it but after one season I zoned out, it's just very hyper and all over the place. Which is unfortunate because it's pretty funny.
In another video's comments I said I can suspend disbelief for superheroes existing and a Quantum Realm, but I can't suspend reason.
Nothing get more exciting than to watch Honest Trailers
HISHE was pretty exciting.
I still don’t understand how or when the MCU started to become SO CAMPY. They don’t adapt things anymore. Now they simply slap stuff from the comics onto the screen but it just doesn’t work!
4:31 Oh, I've waited so long for an MCU Fantastic Four movie, but now... I just don't know if it's goona be worth it.
We need an honest trailer for the seasons 2 and 3 of the fantastic Amazon show "The Boys".
Get Some!
That would be... you know it... DIABOLICAL!
Yesss
Michael Douglas sayin "Ant-Science" killed me.
Fake Modok talking like a minion is comedy GOLD
I didn’t know Peyton Reed directed Back to the future the ride! 😄
(Also the honest title card getting shrunk never gets old!;)
So basically... I'm not missing anything not watching this, 😂😂
I'm shocked there was 0 mention of Cassie saying the word "dad"
Damn that Kang-erissues jokes hitting a whole different way
That scene with all the Kangs was one of the most bizarre scenes I have seen in a movie.
I heard that Broccoli Rob felt robbed that he didn't have seven holes even after drinking an abundance of reddish-brown pond water.
That minions comment killed me
This movie really did feel like a fever dream
And not in a good way.
Luis recaps are underrated!! Miss you Luis!!
4:04 I can’t believe they got Joe Rogan to do a cameo
Please do an Honest Trailer for The Mandalorian Season 3
This is the way
4:13 *BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA*
I literally downloaded the movie before watching this and just to give this honest trailer a full experience. These guys are great!
My takeaway from the "how many holes does Scott have" scene was that the telepath figured out the number by reading Scott's mind, and yet Scott himself seemed mildly surprised to learn the number afterwards. Which means the telepathy was most likely used for the sole purpose of finding out what kind of genitals Scott has.
Time travel, Variants, Timelines, TVA, Quantum realm, Multiverse, MCU is so messed up now.
I just watched this movie last night! Perfect timing for this video to release!
I wish they would explain how mass works in this reality. Because on our Earth, if something is shrunk down, it wouldn't lose it's mass. It just baffles me that they can shrink down a car and just pick it up like it doesn't still weigh 2 tons, lol.
When the plot needs something to be light and small, it happens, and when they need something to be small and heavy, that also happens.
@@TighelanderII Back in the 80s, "The Atom" comics in DC made it a real big deal that the Atom can shrink his size and mass separately - so he could become super small and heavy or could also become super light for the purposes of super jumping around. Made the whole thing make a lot more sense (and was cool)
@@PatCaseyLA Didn't know that. Around 1980, I almost bought the first appearance for $5. I liked the Atom due to the cartoons, but when I started buying comics, I was less interested in those characters.
How there is water when they are smaller than water molecules?
@@mruniverse9500That's actually a really good point. I have no idea lol
"They spent 200M dollars on this and it still looks like Gritty's colonoscopy." I'M FUKEN DEAD. 🤣🤣🤣
0:29 0:31 0:32 0:33 0:34 0:35 0:37 Jonathan majors has his work cut out for him now
I love the Ant man movies for many reasons, but Luis’s recap is always the best part of those movies and I was looking forward to him narrating endgame, but he wasn’t even in the movie 😭😭
A universe so big that it's starting to collapse under its own weight.
