Modok laying on the ground after redeeming himself while he has been given the most bs motivation and our heroes mocking him as he dies is truly a masterpiece of scriptwriting.

cassie talk-no-jutsuing modok by simply saying "dont be a dick" is truly one of the cinematic moments of all time

The biggest sin they committed in Antman 3 was NOT bringing back Luis & have him recollect a story in at least one scene! Completely unforgivable 🙁

No matter how many times he does it I am always gobsmacked after Filmento reveals that he made the script for his video have the same flaws as the movies he talks about. I was so mad about the reveal being tossed to the side but then I realized that he was just doing what the movie did

I honestly didn't expect Kang to be such a pushover. The whole movie I waited for him to do something, anything that would cement him as THE villain of the coming saga. And yet, everyone walked away just fine, no one got trapped in Star W.. I mean Quantum Realm, and the stakes seem to be exactly where they were when the movie started. After two uninteresting and barely coherent tv shows and two lackluster movies, I'm officially marveled out.

Infinity War and Endgame were the peak of the MCU, and I doubt Disney will be able to replicate that success ever again.

10:34 That train scene alone is way funnier than whole quippy jokes in Quantumania. That trailer fooled me to think that this movie is going to be consequential and serious

What bogged me the most with AntMan's powers in this movie is that technically he can shrink down/grow up at will between a minimum/maximum size. Since they are in the quantum realm, he should be able to grow up "infinitely" not just to a "15meter giant in the quantum realm", he could litteraly have crushed Kang and his whole base with One step by taking a "200 m size"

As a person who genuinely loved the first Ant-Man movie, it really hurts to see this series go out on such a low note.

14:25 "the only way Ant-Man movie isnt a cashgrab is if its actually built with the fact its an Antman movie" is perfectly put, sad to see how Marvel has fallen

You’ve said it perfectly. Marvel trying to build up Kang and keep this an Antman centred movie ended up diminishing our fear of Kang by having him beaten by Antman and all the time that Majors gets to partially give us insights into Kang is when his acting steals the show from Scott but then they can’t dive deep enough into Kang so we are left feeling like his motivations are ultimately still vague. So we are dissatisfied all round. They would’ve been better off giving Antman his own proper 3rd movie against Modok and then give us a Kang focused movie later maybe with him facing the young avengers which would prove weak to stop him but he really gets to shine as the focus coz all the young avengers have had their introductions in Disney plus stuff. Then later in Kang Dynasty we have a proper avengers team and a proper Kang whose motives we better understand and maybe then we deal with the internal conflicts between Kangs while they wipe the floor with our hero’s then later in Secret Wars the focus can go back to our heroes

Another aspect that needs to be mentioned is that some of the plot armor against Kang was egregious, like really REALLY egregious. When Kang came down from his station and was blasting out all the rebels with his beam rays, he was eradicating and incinerating ALL the people around him TO DUST with a single blast towards them in order to showcase how extremely deadly his attacks are. But when the antman family came in and especially Cassie, Kang BLASTED Cassie in the chest with a straight beam towards her yet all that happened to her is that she got pushed down despite what was happening to all the people around her as they got annihilated to nothing. It doesn't matter how strong your villain OR your heroes are, nothing beats Plot armor. Absolutely nothing at all, as no amount of strength or power can penetrate through it. It's like what happened to Arya in Season 8 of the final 2 episodes where she somehow survived all the dragon's flames destroying the entire city of King's landing despite the fact all the people around her got burned to literal ashes. And Arya got engulfed THREE times by the dragon's flames and survived even tho everyone around her in the SAME SPOT didn't. Plot armor like this just conveys that there's nothing for the audience to worry about for the characters as it shows that they are going to be alright no matter WHO they're facing off against. Marvel Studios SERIOUSLY needs to double check on this to make sure next time, this isn't an issue anymore at all and if the characters survive any situation, it has to be BELIEVABLE and credible to what's happening to the story around them based on what's been established Just want to make that clear.

The first movie was fairly decent, though very standard and predictable But if Edgar Wright had done it, it would've been groundbreaking

If you want to hype up your new villain, maybe it's not the best idea making him lose to Ant Man of all people

Filmento always makes me realize WHY I didn’t like a movie. I always walk out knowing I wasn’t a fan of it but can’t articulate in my mind why or I can but never get around to thinking too deeply about it. When I watch these videos I’m like “YES! THANK YOU! THATS why I hated it!”

Not only was the entire quantum realm a CGI mess but it looked completely AI-generated

Before Infinity War, we endured the worst movies because they could be relevant in the future Now watching anything from the MCU became a chore we no longer want to endure

Remember when Ant Man was a fun and simple franchise? God I miss those times

DID YOU SERIOUSLY claim to give us an insider who sabotaged the movie and then NOT DO IT???? Are you insane? How do you have a viewerbase who supports you?!
