I don’t know about this one chief. I know that we are all tired of being beaten on the head with “women are better in every way” I get that. But she was already set up to be a badass. She trained antman and in antman and the wasp, she was already more efficient as she already trained for it. Pym, her father, just didn’t let her do it as he lost his wife to the suit. That’s the whole plot of the ant man movies. And ant man has always been bumbling through fights. This complaint isn’t warranted in this movie as it’s already a story line. It’s not shoved in.

This is a huge request for the Longman, but please give Quantumania the same treatment you gave Multiverse of Madness. Sitting through Quantumania was painful, so your analysis would help folks like me laugh at it.
Kang looks like he is perpetually crying. I guess those facial groove scars act as convenient canals to steer the tears more efficiently. Haven't seen this movie, paid no attention to the ads, I was ONLY working off your visuals, but that's the first thing I noticed.
That poster sized head shot of him looks like they just applied the business end of a grease gun slowly down his face. It doesn't look like a scar, but a track of reflective lube. Who thought that was a good idea, much less taking a large hi-res shot of it and blowing it up?
I agree with what Gary said on the Nooner. Modok should have been dangerous and just killed a lot of people. Also, there's a creepy aspect to the character from the comics, which they only used for him with the mask. No pupils, big expressive mouth that's usually in a creepy smile, he looks fucking insane despite his odd proportions.
Yes, I was disappointed with what happened to Modok. It would have been cool if he'd carried on as a sort of right hand man to Kang, and that would have given them more time to set up an interesting redemption arc (if they felt it was necessary).
Also, the twist where Modok turns out to be the villian from the first antman was an atrocius decision, terrible callback and appalling change from the comics
@@alvaro.martinez his design was pretty cool imo, up till he unmask and talked like a regular guy... atleast make Darren have a fucked up facial feature.
We really lost Queen Ramonda in Wakanda Forever so everyone could feel the impact and threat that Namor presents to the current MCU. They introduced the next big villain after Thanos which is supposed to carry us through 2025-26 and this is how he goes out the first time on the big screen? We couldn't lose Hank or annoying Janet? Scott or Hope couldn't have been stranded in the Quantum Realm at least for a movie? Nah...everyone returned home as if nothing had happened. And the HORRIBLE MODOK CGI...
The BESTEST EVAAR, mother and daughter version this time! Sheesh. Looks like Disney as saved my family yet another wad of cash by avoiding yet another of their movies.
As a fan of The Volume, I can agree your criticisms are fully accurate. It's revealing that they've clearly not improved calibration of camera and lens to the real time Volume renderer. That attempt at cost savings is why many might argue the virtual composites are no better, or even worse, than 20 years ago when they generated the virtual stuff and composited it after principle photo was completed - when it took an actual artist to spend time making sure things like perspective was as seamless as possible. But also, if you were fully engaged with the story and characters for one reason or another you probably wouldn't notice - like if they used it in a live action Velma. 😅
I like the poster where his daughter is in front of him, pushing him backward in a way that screams "Stay out of this, old man." And partly because it was created in MS Paint.
Rumor is, the cringe jokes were inserted because of studio influence as reshoots. They missed the "Marvel humor", and forced them to insert these "jokes"
Biggest problem for me was, that the grandma was unable to communicate and therfore the family got in that situation the in the firstplace. IF she had opened her mouth once "there is someone down there, i left behind, a dangerous person" this movie woulndt have happened!!!!!!!!!!!
If Kang is a dude who can travel through time, there are countless versions of him, in the past, in the future, etc etc. then where was he during infinity war? Better yet, has none of Kang's versions come up with an idea of going back before thanos and claiming the stones to themselves? As always, increasing one character's powers increases logical problems exponentially. That's always the case.
Did no one else notice, that Ant Man and co were just leaving at the end… leaving Kangs multiverse ship, leaving it’s powersource; had Kang reappeared seconds later, or even just let them leave, he would have had everything he wanted at the start.
Why should anyone take Kang seriously if he gets defeated by Antman, and the Wasp? Thanos was all but unbeatable, all the Avengers took their shots and lost. But now we have the next Thanos level villan already beaten by arguably the least of the Avengers. It makes no sense.
Absolutely true. In his opening scene Thanos killed Loki and Heimdall and put Hulk and Thor on their knees. But villains today have absolutely no teeth.
The problem is that WE think "Cinematic Universe" ought to mean "a coherent shared world in which to tell good stories", but Marvel (and their Disney Overlords) define it as "a Franchise". And they punctuate that with dollar signs. Ant-Man and the Wasp was not a film, it was just a long commercial for the product line.
Actually, I wish they really DID see it as a franchise and a way to "print" money. If that were true, they'd be trying to actually please the VAST majority of the audience, rather than a tiny... and perhaps even nonexistent... "audience". Instead, they see it as a PLATFORM for their social agenda and politics. Regardless of what we think about the politics, the AGENDA is nothing less than evil.
You didn't watch Ant-Man than clearly because what I watched last night was a film and a damn good one at that. But you can keep coping with the fact that alot of us are liking the movie and you plebs aren't
@@hamsterrwrld6767 bud, your description of what you are BY DEFINITION makes you the pleb. You like the silly movie that reviewers reject and appeal to numbers for justification. I literally can’t find a review of it that goes above “meh”.
@@hamsterrwrld6767 - If you think that belonging to Marvel's target demographic (or its target IQ range) makes you superior to anybody, in any way at all, then you are literally the punch line of a joke that's not even worth laughing at. Run along, lemming.
I read the title like "Anti-Man and the wasp" at first. Didn't even question it. I am that over it with these movies that I won't even be surprised if they did have a movie title like that.
In defense of Volume: Similar to CGI it's a pretty great tool, but there are several things that are needed for it to be used properly. First and foremost, the director needs understand the technology and it's limitations, it needs a of time and care to do the scenes properly. It needs people who are skilled enough to work with it behind the scenes, creating the backgrounds. Considering how Disney/Marvel treats their CGI artists, I would not be surprised if they did the same with Volume.
House of the Dragon had 20 minute documentaries for each episode on sky, and they were describing how they used the volume as background for castle interiors. I thought it was brilliant. But then they only used it to represent actual walls. I thought that is where are you can use this technology well. I haven’t seen Ant-man yet. But I’m not planning on doing so. I have no more interest in Marvel movies.
Disney used to make flawed movies that were still enjoyable. John Carter and Tron: Legacy for example, those movies you could tell that at least the people working on them were trying and put some heart into it. Now, it's just a assembly line pumping out crap ++ The Message
I saw this because, like Thor, I like the character in the MCU and wanted to see where they were going. Like Thor I won't be making that mistake again.
I really liked this movie until they killed/removed Kang and replaced him with the lesser variants. The main Kang of this movie is the all powerful one that makes Thanos look like a joke and now they've removed him from the picture
There was a point when if someone said "Every Marvel movie is the same", you'd have lots of arguments to say why that's wrong. Now it's just "Meh, you're right..."
The colour balancing on this thumbnail is really well done, Disparu. I'm not a graphic designer but as a video editor this thumbnail really hooks me in
the 2nd ant-man was so bad i had mentally blocked it out and forgot i watched it until my family wanted to watch it, once it started, it all came back to me. I have once again been able to mentally block it out and but wont ever watch another one.
@@Nyet-Zdyes He's a consoomer with a lot of money from his tech job. But he's my brother for all that we've been through together. He hasn't seen Multiverse of Madness because he was pissed Reimi wasn't making a Spiderman movie instead. So he had no frame of reference for this shit. I had to mow his lawn twice whenever he wanted if I lost and liked the movie.
It says a lot that, in a time that critics are all to happy to hand out glowing reviews to anything Disney (and to the MCU in particular), this joins the Eternals in being the only MCU films to get "Rotten" critics' ratings. Even one of the biggest shill sites, Screenrant, was criticizing it for throwing off the MCU's timeline by aging up the daughter. She's supposed to be a teen but they recast with a 26 year old, and the character herself seems to be now written like mid 20s rather than a teen.
What's funny is the catwoman didn't want to say anything about kang and was scared of the QR bc she knew kang was there but was all fine and dandy when they was going into the QR before the thanos snap happens
The signal that Cassie sent to the quantum realm was the problem. If sending someone down to the quantum realm alerted Kang, Janet would be dead before she was found. It’s the signal that alerted Kang, and the quantum realm is essentially a universe, making any attempt by Kang to seek out Scott highly unlikely, given that Kang isn’t at his prime in the movie.
I think the interaction between the daughter and him worked pretty well in the first movie. No wonder they had to destroy that. We can`t have that. She needs to be better than the dad, obviously. Hank was also a pretty fun character back in the first movie. But again: we can`t have a competent man anymore.
I signed off this movie when they revealed the reason Carrie was arrested at the beginning was because she was doing a 'peaceful protest' againest the police displacing homeless people. That was what, 5 minutes in?
This movie exists like a space that's intentionally left blank: filler between the substantive pages...except those are equally pointless when it comes to Marvel. And each page costs a billion dollars.
The Volume:. For me, the part that makes it obvious is when the background is crowded and variable elevation, but the physical part where the actors are is conveniently flat and empty. I guess they can't afford to put real props and set decorations because they have to actually change them out
Great review Disparu! I'll be watching this after it leaves the theaters. This once great company is gonna be turned into a burning crater by Bob Iger. Read up on GE if you want to see how it only takes 1 bad leader to destroy something built over many decades.
Movie credits are a union rule .. movies HAVE to list everyone, it’s not an ego trip, it’s a literal obligation the movie has. Back in the good old days they could just list the main cast at the end and after barely 20 seconds of scroll you’re out (cuz they understood that people had lives to go back to and didn’t want to spend 7 minutes watching scrolling text).
Having credits maybe a union rule. But I bet there's none that says they have to add in post credit scenes that force people to sit through them to see those scenes.People should start walking out. Maybe then they'd stop doing it.
"... with a title like this because it tells you exactly what you're going to get!" I laughed so hard I instantly hit the like button. He keeps doing this to me.
Eternals- MCU dead. No Way Home - MCU lives. Multiverse of Madness - Decent. Wakanda Forever - MCU lives. Quantumania - MCU dead. How about waiting until it actually dies instead of clickbait titles after every movie.
The volume is a brilliant invention for TV/streaming shows, filming a scene that is taking place in a small space, or it is purely used to help actors visualize the setting around them. That's what Mando did and look how successful it was and how good it looks.
Mando looks terrible though. I don't know how people can watch Mando and Andor and not feel the difference. Mando feels completely flat whenever there's a wide angle
Why in hell didn't Kang take there suits while he and his daughter we're in jail? And they totally forgot about time lost when your in the quantum zone they got back to earth the same year they left
Time wOrKs DiFfeReNtLY in quantum realm, they'd probably say. Janet aged in quantum realm the same as the outside world... When Scott didn't age at all and 5 years passed on outside world "sigh"
@@Natta44 they said that in basically the 1st antman and more specifically in the 2nd. And then on course endgame where they exit the quantum realm years before they entered it. So yes time does work different. You can go forward backwards sideways compared to the regular world. As established since antman 1. Good job paying attention
It was Phase Bore and now it's Phase Dive. Side Note: I find it hilarious how Cassie, a 18 year girl, with virtually no real fighting experience/background compared to her dad and Hank, was able to fight off and defeat multiple Kang Robot Soldiers and MODOK on the fly. Meanwhile Loki, a 1500 old Frost Giant/God of Mischief with countless battle experience, can't even get pass normal humans wearing protective armor with pruning sticks, humans in a convenience store and on a train, or even his own variant, in his own series.
I think it is really silly how there are now like 3 really young women in the MCU who are supposed to be superb science/engineering geniuses - Shuri, Riri Williams, and now Cassie Lang. When it was just Shuri, it was fine. But now we are being hit over the head with women (none of whom are above the age of 25) who are all supposed to be on the level of Tony Stark or Reed Richards. And to be fair, I think Peter Parker being smart enough to come up with the formula for his web fluid is equally unbelievable, which is why I think the organic web shooters in the Raimi movies make much more sense.
They also all have the Nanotech Magic Suits coming out of nothing, from Tony. So why not have a Ironman Suit out of Vibranium, Flying, Lasers, Arc reactor seem to be everywhere now, +Webshooters, Shrinking and getting big, with the capability to Mind Control Ants that you can Grow big (without the Time civilisation BS). They can steal the Stuff they made the "New" captain america with and get jused up. Oh they also have a Giant Space RoboTitan Head sicking out the Ocean, i bet there is some cool Tech to take. Whats Kang gonna do about 1000 of those Suits? Here is another way to beat him, Since he is Human and not some Magic God Thing. A Spray can with some Sarin Nerve Gas. I bet that will take him out. and it would hit him cause he is so Cocky.
I prefer the mechanical web shooters. Chemically engineering an adhesive compound analogous to spider webbing is well within the purview of the kind of whiz kid Peter is repeatedly shown to be. Even Shuri's laser-panther-gauntlets make sense in the context of her world as the engineering behind those isn't that far removed from the _very_ standard sonic weaponization of vibranium that one can assume _most_ Wakandans should understand. But Shuri having instant understanding of an _Infinity Stone_ to the point where she feels withun her rights to browbeat Banner over Vision's creation (especially when it was probably Ultron who was responsible for that specific inefficiency anyway) is where I start to draw the line. There is no equal-but-opposite. There are no subject matter specialists pooling their collective skills to achieve things no one person could do alone. (Y'know, that notion that literally created the Avengers.) It's all about one dedicated badass destined to end the fight by herself and the useless peons who have to sacrifice their worthless lives to set her up for success.
First time in a looooooooooong time i'm not watching MCU in a 3DImax theater... i'm here, in my kitchen, learning all the spoilers i can get... i'm sad... 🖤
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the CREATIVE genius behind Marvel Phases 1, 2, 3 isn't Kevin Feige. It's Jon Favreau. The guy who started it all with Iron Man The guy who left after End Game and moved over to Star Wars, creating the most successful project since Disney bought Lucasfilm. The Mandalorian. Think about it.
At this point I've saved so much money from Disney that I'm almost Bezos rich. I literally can't remember when the last time was i paid for a Disney movie, or seen one. My vaca to Florida was really cheap too.
The worst part is that this Kang was THE Kang the Conqueror. He was the STRONGEST of all the Kangs.... and he was defeated by Ant-Man, one of the weakest Avengers, Ant-Man's daughter who was proven in the movie to have 0 fighting experience with the suit, and that pitiful excuse for a MODOK. The absolute legend Kang the Conqueror was defeated in this movie.... and so now we only have all the remaining Kangs which are all weaker than him left.
saw this movie last night, about 5 min in, i had to say, what am i looking at this is just CGI on CGI and I couldn't see anything! First appearance of kang in a movie, and he lost. Imagine if when tony stark goes through the portal in avengers he just found and beat up Thanos before coming back. great way to set up a villain.
Ya know, when a marvel movie came out a few years ago, it was a big event. Now I genuinely didn’t hear about this coming out, and only found out about it because of your review. I genuinely didn’t know it came out. It genuinely was not significant in anything.

The movie gave him the Big Gay, so he wasn't as focused as he should have been. Forgive this Brit his Tismy mistake.
Mauler coming in hot!
And they even write Ant-Man’s breakout character, Luis, out of the movie. His recap of the events of the last movie would’ve at least been something.
Well that suck
Such a wasted opportunity.
Kang looks like he is perpetually crying. I guess those facial groove scars act as convenient canals to steer the tears more efficiently. Haven't seen this movie, paid no attention to the ads, I was ONLY working off your visuals, but that's the first thing I noticed.
That poster sized head shot of him looks like they just applied the business end of a grease gun slowly down his face. It doesn't look like a scar, but a track of reflective lube. Who thought that was a good idea, much less taking a large hi-res shot of it and blowing it up?
And his lips were constantly pursed, like he was waiting for a smooch.
Angry Joe said "this is a movie you can skip" and that dude is an MCU fanboy.
He's also a guy f-ist and a socialist.
I agree with what Gary said on the Nooner. Modok should have been dangerous and just killed a lot of people. Also, there's a creepy aspect to the character from the comics, which they only used for him with the mask. No pupils, big expressive mouth that's usually in a creepy smile, he looks fucking insane despite his odd proportions.
Modok could work in a film, I think, but not this way.
Yes, I was disappointed with what happened to Modok. It would have been cool if he'd carried on as a sort of right hand man to Kang, and that would have given them more time to set up an interesting redemption arc (if they felt it was necessary).
Also, the twist where Modok turns out to be the villian from the first antman was an atrocius decision, terrible callback and appalling change from the comics
@@alvaro.martinez his design was pretty cool imo, up till he unmask and talked like a regular guy... atleast make Darren have a fucked up facial feature.
They took what could've been creepy and turned him into a joke.
We really lost Queen Ramonda in Wakanda Forever so everyone could feel the impact and threat that Namor presents to the current MCU.
They introduced the next big villain after Thanos which is supposed to carry us through 2025-26 and this is how he goes out the first time on the big screen? We couldn't lose Hank or annoying Janet? Scott or Hope couldn't have been stranded in the Quantum Realm at least for a movie?
Nah...everyone returned home as if nothing had happened.
And the HORRIBLE MODOK CGI...
The BESTEST EVAAR, mother and daughter version this time! Sheesh. Looks like Disney as saved my family yet another wad of cash by avoiding yet another of their movies.
Now... why did I imagine hearing that with a Doomcock sneer?
As a fan of The Volume, I can agree your criticisms are fully accurate. It's revealing that they've clearly not improved calibration of camera and lens to the real time Volume renderer. That attempt at cost savings is why many might argue the virtual composites are no better, or even worse, than 20 years ago when they generated the virtual stuff and composited it after principle photo was completed - when it took an actual artist to spend time making sure things like perspective was as seamless as possible.
But also, if you were fully engaged with the story and characters for one reason or another you probably wouldn't notice - like if they used it in a live action Velma. 😅
I like the poster where his daughter is in front of him, pushing him backward in a way that screams "Stay out of this, old man." And partly because it was created in MS Paint.
It's a fact: youtubers' jokes are funnier than the ones in movies🤣Not even gonna bother to pirate this one.
Rumor is, the cringe jokes were inserted because of studio influence as reshoots. They missed the "Marvel humor", and forced them to insert these "jokes"
Biggest problem for me was, that the grandma was unable to communicate and therfore the family got in that situation the in the firstplace. IF she had opened her mouth once "there is someone down there, i left behind, a dangerous person" this movie woulndt have happened!!!!!!!!!!!
If Kang is a dude who can travel through time, there are countless versions of him, in the past, in the future, etc etc. then where was he during infinity war? Better yet, has none of Kang's versions come up with an idea of going back before thanos and claiming the stones to themselves? As always, increasing one character's powers increases logical problems exponentially. That's always the case.
Time travel is ALWAYS problematic.
The "volume" was ground breaking because it allowed for significantly better visuals for TV scale properties. It has no business in a big budget film
Did no one else notice, that Ant Man and co were just leaving at the end… leaving Kangs multiverse ship, leaving it’s powersource; had Kang reappeared seconds later, or even just let them leave, he would have had everything he wanted at the start.
Poor Paul Rudd. He's such a good actor and guy. He deserves better.
He should have quit like the others have
Poor . They're such a good actor/actress and person. They deserve better.
This fits almost the entire Phase 1/2 cast.
@@xipheonj Kyubey/The Earflipper getting his name dragged in the mud in The Pensuke Files (By the villain protagonist, Pensuke) be like…
Good actor but most certainly not a good guy. He's as "progressive" as any other Hollyweird celeb.
don’t understand the notion of feeling bad for multimillionaire actors. I promise you Rudd does not care about the quality of Ant Man 3
Why should anyone take Kang seriously if he gets defeated by Antman, and the Wasp? Thanos was all but unbeatable, all the Avengers took their shots and lost. But now we have the next Thanos level villan already beaten by arguably the least of the Avengers. It makes no sense.
Absolutely true. In his opening scene Thanos killed Loki and Heimdall and put Hulk and Thor on their knees.
But villains today have absolutely no teeth.
And he was beaten by ants.
i dont know about this movie but there is thousands of kangs so thats just one kang defeated
Also by Loki
The problem is that WE think "Cinematic Universe" ought to mean "a coherent shared world in which to tell good stories", but Marvel (and their Disney Overlords) define it as "a Franchise". And they punctuate that with dollar signs. Ant-Man and the Wasp was not a film, it was just a long commercial for the product line.
Actually, I wish they really DID see it as a franchise and a way to "print" money.
If that were true, they'd be trying to actually please the VAST majority of the audience, rather than a tiny... and perhaps even nonexistent... "audience".
Instead, they see it as a PLATFORM for their social agenda and politics.
Regardless of what we think about the politics, the AGENDA is nothing less than evil.
You didn't watch Ant-Man than clearly because what I watched last night was a film and a damn good one at that. But you can keep coping with the fact that alot of us are liking the movie and you plebs aren't
@@hamsterrwrld6767 Only plebs like this shit.
@@hamsterrwrld6767 bud, your description of what you are BY DEFINITION makes you the pleb. You like the silly movie that reviewers reject and appeal to numbers for justification. I literally can’t find a review of it that goes above “meh”.
@@hamsterrwrld6767 - If you think that belonging to Marvel's target demographic (or its target IQ range) makes you superior to anybody, in any way at all, then you are literally the punch line of a joke that's not even worth laughing at. Run along, lemming.
Its crazy that I now feel dread when I see a new MCU trailer. When just 10 years ago I was excited.
Exactly, the only one that I’m actually excited for is Guardians 3 because it looks like the acting is going to be good
Kang vaporizes people and then antmans suit just takes them making me wonder what it's made of. Plot armor probably
I read the title like "Anti-Man and the wasp" at first. Didn't even question it. I am that over it with these movies that I won't even be surprised if they did have a movie title like that.
I feel bad for Paul Rudd.... Ant Man, he was perfectly casted for that part. Disney just doesn't learn...let them crash and burn.
In defense of Volume: Similar to CGI it's a pretty great tool, but there are several things that are needed for it to be used properly. First and foremost, the director needs understand the technology and it's limitations, it needs a of time and care to do the scenes properly. It needs people who are skilled enough to work with it behind the scenes, creating the backgrounds. Considering how Disney/Marvel treats their CGI artists, I would not be surprised if they did the same with Volume.
I barely care about the Ant Man character, let alone shoe horning his daughter into a main character…I’ll give it a miss!
Also on scars on a face.
One - ok, can balieve that, shows that he's been through some shit.
Two simmetrical scars? Showoff!
Your videos just keep getting better, especially now that you've found all these ways to use previous clips, ie. based economy & the mad goose wizard
House of the Dragon had 20 minute documentaries for each episode on sky, and they were describing how they used the volume as background for castle interiors. I thought it was brilliant. But then they only used it to represent actual walls. I thought that is where are you can use this technology well. I haven’t seen Ant-man yet. But I’m not planning on doing so. I have no more interest in Marvel movies.
Disney used to make flawed movies that were still enjoyable. John Carter and Tron: Legacy for example, those movies you could tell that at least the people working on them were trying and put some heart into it. Now, it's just a assembly line pumping out crap ++ The Message
This movie is the exact same plot as Tron Legacy.
I saw this because, like Thor, I like the character in the MCU and wanted to see where they were going. Like Thor I won't be making that mistake again.
Lol Thor 4 was trash
Enjoying your videos your passion is infectious. 🙂
I really liked this movie until they killed/removed Kang and replaced him with the lesser variants. The main Kang of this movie is the all powerful one that makes Thanos look like a joke and now they've removed him from the picture
There was a point when if someone said "Every Marvel movie is the same", you'd have lots of arguments to say why that's wrong. Now it's just "Meh, you're right..."
No they ain't right
Since Cassie built a device to escape the quantum realm why wasn't she utilized for this reason? That's all Kang actually needed.
I will never understand why big corporations feel the need to push socialism and communism. Seems a bit... ah, self-destructive.
There is a reason why but I would be called an "antisemitist" if I said it.
Volume? I thought old man Disparu was complaining he could hear anything.
Disney: "Be like ant. Toil. Consume product. Obey." As with all their characters, the mask is now fully off.
The colour balancing on this thumbnail is really well done, Disparu. I'm not a graphic designer but as a video editor this thumbnail really hooks me in
HELL YEAH!!! My buddy owes me a steak dinner. I knew this movie would suck!
the 2nd ant-man was so bad i had mentally blocked it out and forgot i watched it until my family wanted to watch it, once it started, it all came back to me. I have once again been able to mentally block it out and but wont ever watch another one.
Ant Man had his entire character done and over with in one movie :v Heck, even seeing him in Civil War was like: What are you doing here?
Your buddy must not be very bright... or he's a sucker... or he's entirely too optimistic... if he actually took you up on that bet.
@@Nyet-Zdyes He's a consoomer with a lot of money from his tech job. But he's my brother for all that we've been through together. He hasn't seen Multiverse of Madness because he was pissed Reimi wasn't making a Spiderman movie instead. So he had no frame of reference for this shit. I had to mow his lawn twice whenever he wanted if I lost and liked the movie.
What rarity are you gonna have your steak? Well done? (pun fully intended, but seriously though - well done)
It says a lot that, in a time that critics are all to happy to hand out glowing reviews to anything Disney (and to the MCU in particular), this joins the Eternals in being the only MCU films to get "Rotten" critics' ratings. Even one of the biggest shill sites, Screenrant, was criticizing it for throwing off the MCU's timeline by aging up the daughter. She's supposed to be a teen but they recast with a 26 year old, and the character herself seems to be now written like mid 20s rather than a teen.
It saddens me that they went the Shang-Chi route and and had the main character with no agency so all the women around him can perform...
I had to go back and watch that part about not going to movies 'too British, sitting next to people in the dark'.... I'm ded 😂🤣
The mad goose wizard makes me laugh out loud every damn time. It transcends the rule of 3.
What's funny is the catwoman didn't want to say anything about kang and was scared of the QR bc she knew kang was there but was all fine and dandy when they was going into the QR before the thanos snap happens
The signal that Cassie sent to the quantum realm was the problem. If sending someone down to the quantum realm alerted Kang, Janet would be dead before she was found. It’s the signal that alerted Kang, and the quantum realm is essentially a universe, making any attempt by Kang to seek out Scott highly unlikely, given that Kang isn’t at his prime in the movie.
it's amazing how I'll never watch it but I've seen 10 videos telling me how bad it is..
Same here, I think its more entertaining than the movies themselves.
bro you seriously disassemble these movies and shows so perfectly. I can listen to your rants all day long they're awesome.
I think the interaction between the daughter and him worked pretty well in the first movie.
No wonder they had to destroy that. We can`t have that. She needs to be better than the dad, obviously.
Hank was also a pretty fun character back in the first movie. But again: we can`t have a competent man anymore.
I signed off this movie when they revealed the reason Carrie was arrested at the beginning was because she was doing a 'peaceful protest' againest the police displacing homeless people. That was what, 5 minutes in?
So.. skipping out on “the wasp and ant-man’s daughter, the wtf ever” wasn’t a big loss then?
I bought some chicken wings with the cash I had to go watch this movie 😂
@@Gintoki_Madao you got the better deal from the sounds of it 👍
My love for the MCU died with Tony Stark
Everything I’ve seen after (excluding SpiderMan) has been just kicking it’s body
Bless your heart that VelmaShock is perfect screenshot
This movie exists like a space that's intentionally left blank: filler between the substantive pages...except those are equally pointless when it comes to Marvel. And each page costs a billion dollars.
I'm still waiting for Aunt-Man.
😆
The Volume:. For me, the part that makes it obvious is when the background is crowded and variable elevation, but the physical part where the actors are is conveniently flat and empty. I guess they can't afford to put real props and set decorations because they have to actually change them out
Think about the first three Star Wars movies and the matt paintings that look super real.
Top executives don't read scripts. They read treatments (5 pages tops). Feige doesn't even read treatments - somebody tells him (5 mins tops).
The civilization of Socialist ants should actually have looked like Seattle's CHAZ during the "summer of love". 😆
Disparu off the top rope with “the mad goose wizard…”
Bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great review Disparu! I'll be watching this after it leaves the theaters. This once great company is gonna be turned into a burning crater by Bob Iger. Read up on GE if you want to see how it only takes 1 bad leader to destroy something built over many decades.
Bob Iger and his domi Kathleen Kennedy.
Movie credits are a union rule .. movies HAVE to list everyone, it’s not an ego trip, it’s a literal obligation the movie has. Back in the good old days they could just list the main cast at the end and after barely 20 seconds of scroll you’re out (cuz they understood that people had lives to go back to and didn’t want to spend 7 minutes watching scrolling text).
Having credits maybe a union rule. But I bet there's none that says they have to add in post credit scenes that force people to sit through them to see those scenes.People should start walking out. Maybe then they'd stop doing it.
0:42 as a member of a virtual production studio, I agree lol
Ugh. Glad I passed on this one. Not sure there will be another I want to see...
"... with a title like this because it tells you exactly what you're going to get!"
I laughed so hard I instantly hit the like button. He keeps doing this to me.
Eternals- MCU dead.
No Way Home - MCU lives.
Multiverse of Madness - Decent.
Wakanda Forever - MCU lives.
Quantumania - MCU dead.
How about waiting until it actually dies instead of clickbait titles after every movie.
Somebody's gotta watch this shit and report back
The volume is a brilliant invention for TV/streaming shows, filming a scene that is taking place in a small space, or it is purely used to help actors visualize the setting around them. That's what Mando did and look how successful it was and how good it looks.
Exactly. It's a filmmaking tool and can be used well or by idiots.
Agreed. The way it's used in The Mandalorian is awesome.
Mando looks terrible though. I don't know how people can watch Mando and Andor and not feel the difference. Mando feels completely flat whenever there's a wide angle
That is your opinion, of course, I find it a little disconcerting at best, and flat, very flat.
@Vaughan MacEgan Well I find that it works best for scenes with a portrait like effect. And it's really good to give the actors perspective of a scene
The Volume used correctly is an amazing tool, the problem is when they over-rely on it just to save money when they shouldn't.
Why in hell didn't Kang take there suits while he and his daughter we're in jail? And they totally forgot about time lost when your in the quantum zone they got back to earth the same year they left
Time wOrKs DiFfeReNtLY in quantum realm, they'd probably say. Janet aged in quantum realm the same as the outside world... When Scott didn't age at all and 5 years passed on outside world "sigh"
@@Natta44 they said that in basically the 1st antman and more specifically in the 2nd.
And then on course endgame where they exit the quantum realm years before they entered it.
So yes time does work different. You can go forward backwards sideways compared to the regular world. As established since antman 1. Good job paying attention
It was Phase Bore and now it's Phase Dive.
Side Note: I find it hilarious how Cassie, a 18 year girl, with virtually no real fighting experience/background compared to her dad and Hank, was able to fight off and defeat multiple Kang Robot Soldiers and MODOK on the fly. Meanwhile Loki, a 1500 old Frost Giant/God of Mischief with countless battle experience, can't even get pass normal humans wearing protective armor with pruning sticks, humans in a convenience store and on a train, or even his own variant, in his own series.
Alright place your bets everyone!
How long will he continue using the Velma thumbnail ?
XD
I can't think of anything truly horrible coming in the future to replace it, so.... about a month until it's infamy decays naturally is my bet.
I'd give it until summer... it's too good to be replaced quickly.
The biggest surprise here is that the major review outlets actually agree with popular consensus.
I think it is really silly how there are now like 3 really young women in the MCU who are supposed to be superb science/engineering geniuses - Shuri, Riri Williams, and now Cassie Lang. When it was just Shuri, it was fine. But now we are being hit over the head with women (none of whom are above the age of 25) who are all supposed to be on the level of Tony Stark or Reed Richards. And to be fair, I think Peter Parker being smart enough to come up with the formula for his web fluid is equally unbelievable, which is why I think the organic web shooters in the Raimi movies make much more sense.
They also all have the Nanotech Magic Suits coming out of nothing, from Tony.
So why not have a Ironman Suit out of Vibranium, Flying, Lasers, Arc reactor seem to be everywhere now, +Webshooters, Shrinking and getting big, with the capability to Mind Control Ants that you can Grow big (without the Time civilisation BS). They can steal the Stuff they made the "New" captain america with and get jused up.
Oh they also have a Giant Space RoboTitan Head sicking out the Ocean, i bet there is some cool Tech to take.
Whats Kang gonna do about 1000 of those Suits?
Here is another way to beat him, Since he is Human and not some Magic God Thing. A Spray can with some Sarin Nerve Gas. I bet that will take him out. and it would hit him cause he is so Cocky.
I prefer the mechanical web shooters. Chemically engineering an adhesive compound analogous to spider webbing is well within the purview of the kind of whiz kid Peter is repeatedly shown to be. Even Shuri's laser-panther-gauntlets make sense in the context of her world as the engineering behind those isn't that far removed from the _very_ standard sonic weaponization of vibranium that one can assume _most_ Wakandans should understand.
But Shuri having instant understanding of an _Infinity Stone_ to the point where she feels withun her rights to browbeat Banner over Vision's creation (especially when it was probably Ultron who was responsible for that specific inefficiency anyway) is where I start to draw the line. There is no equal-but-opposite. There are no subject matter specialists pooling their collective skills to achieve things no one person could do alone. (Y'know, that notion that literally created the Avengers.) It's all about one dedicated badass destined to end the fight by herself and the useless peons who have to sacrifice their worthless lives to set her up for success.
So Kang the Conquerer lost upon his first theatrical introduction. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
First time in a looooooooooong time i'm not watching MCU in a 3DImax theater... i'm here, in my kitchen, learning all the spoilers i can get... i'm sad... 🖤
Same I love all mcu movies and some TV shows but honestly this movie I'm gonna skip lol might just gonna watch it when it hits Disney plus
"I know socialism is a charged word" Scott Lang.
Disney isn't even trying to hard to hide their love of China.

“Dangly bit deficient”… 🥴🥴😃😆Lmmfao 😂😂👏👏👏👏
the only shock I got from it was the CGI was actually well done for once, I know I wasn't expecting such a twist either!
The dangling challenged! Friggin great line!
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that the CREATIVE genius behind Marvel Phases 1, 2, 3 isn't Kevin Feige. It's Jon Favreau. The guy who started it all with Iron Man
The guy who left after End Game and moved over to Star Wars, creating the most successful project since Disney bought Lucasfilm. The Mandalorian. Think about it.
At this point I've saved so much money from Disney that I'm almost Bezos rich. I literally can't remember when the last time was i paid for a Disney movie, or seen one. My vaca to Florida was really cheap too.
That feeling when you can’t sit still in the theater and need to get up and walk out
The worst part is that this Kang was THE Kang the Conqueror. He was the STRONGEST of all the Kangs.... and he was defeated by Ant-Man, one of the weakest Avengers, Ant-Man's daughter who was proven in the movie to have 0 fighting experience with the suit, and that pitiful excuse for a MODOK. The absolute legend Kang the Conqueror was defeated in this movie.... and so now we only have all the remaining Kangs which are all weaker than him left.
Marvel Phase 5: We Was Kangs!!
saw this movie last night, about 5 min in, i had to say, what am i looking at this is just CGI on CGI and I couldn't see anything! First appearance of kang in a movie, and he lost. Imagine if when tony stark goes through the portal in avengers he just found and beat up Thanos before coming back. great way to set up a villain.
"proceed to defeat kang with absolutely no problem at all..."
Sounds like a "Barely an incovenience" moment
Oh, really?
Ya know, when a marvel movie came out a few years ago, it was a big event. Now I genuinely didn’t hear about this coming out, and only found out about it because of your review. I genuinely didn’t know it came out. It genuinely was not significant in anything.
Man… I’ve seen Soviet propaganda that is way more interesting and clever
Great analogy when you said paying someone to throw trash on you while punching you in the face 😂 yep, my beloved comics got turned into trash after Hollywood got it's hands all over it
