Between the annoying pronoun game at the beginning, the countless number of times someone was being forcibly walked down a hallway by two henchmen who were easily dispatched by a couple punches and kicks, the ridiculous number of times someone masked and then unmasked for dramatic effect (sometimes between punches), to the absolutely weightless ending... It was a bad movie

I think when Kang said he would conquer eternity... what he really meant was his ship would take an eternity to launch and he'd be forget how strong he was during the last 15 minutes of the movie and lose for no reason

You give a guy a telekinesis, blue laser beams that literally vaporize fools but somehow just knocks around the heroes like he's shooting gusts of winds at them

"I don't have to win... we both just have to lose" literally loses all significance when they open up a portal home not 30 seconds later

Kang doesn't have telekinesis. All of his abilities are just really advanced tech. His suit was broken by the ants so he's just a physically strong dude. They didn't let the audience know that which is kinda dumb and is only really context you'd know from the comics. He's also definitely coming back since he's the one established as Kang the Conqueror. The other versions of him will just bide time till he gets out of the probability storm from the engine.

they said he's dead though, unless they're going to retcon a death again at which point they might as well just say knocked out because death clearly doesn't mean anything anymore

The characters assume he's dead but we saw the inside of that engine and they even gave a name to it which is Probability Storm. I feel like there'd be no reason to explain how it works and give it a name unless it has future implications.He has to find common ground with the other versions of himself in there so he can get out.

Scott smashed 5 discs in it and they made a point to show that it was 3 shrink discs and 2 enlarge discs too. My guess is all of that means he's coming back. Especially because like I said, he's the version of Nathaniel Richards established as " Kang The Conqueror". The 3 in the credits scene are Rama-Tut, Scarlet Centurion and Immortus.

in the post credits, the Kang's say he's been killed by "them".

If he's not dead then that seems like a massive hole given that HOW exactly would they know he died? How would they know he's somewhere else?

Easy. The council exiled him to the quantum realm and kept tabs on the prison. They know he got a fight and lost and isn't there now, he is presumed dead. They can be wrong and he's just stuck inside the multiversal engine.

They EXPLICITLY told the audience that his powers are from the tech in his suit. Janet straight up says "he didn't get his ship back to leave, but getting his suit back was enough to take over the quantum realm and build his empire".

It's entirely reasonable to want to get somewhere you think is safe before telling your family all your deep dark secrets instead of trying to squeeze it out while actively on the run and hiding from scouts.

They were on the run BECAUSE she wasn't telling. It was not AT ALL reasonable for her to continue keeping quiet.

No one is dead unless you see them die.

They refer to Kang as "He" and "Him" for a good chunk of the movie. I enjoyed Ant-Man 3, but I was hoping they would introduce Kang much sooner than they did. He was the highlight of the film, imo.
