Current Events > So why did people hate Quantumania? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Like sipping a glass of room temperature water when youre not really thirsty, theres just not a whole lot to say about it.

puts on mask
let me tell you
takes off mask
it had too much CGI for my taste

You were expecting less CGI from a marvel movie set in a fictional quantum realm?

There was no reason for Janet not to explain Kang at any point. The entire plot happened because she refused to talk then she kept not talking for over half the movie. All of it just to hype Kang as someone scary.

I felt the same way as I was watching but she did have the excuse of blaming herself for his rise to power. It's flimsy and not good writing but it somewhat makes sense.

what do my expectations have to do with anything? i very well could have expected it and still not liked it

i realize they do a lot on green screens...but it was the first movie where it actually felt like a green screen background

Which is wild since its literally not green screen.

What was it?

What was it?

What was it?

The Volume, which isnt green-screen. its a new replacement for green screen that looks and works better but everyone just complains about anyways.

But it looked terrible in Ant-Man. It may be a technical achievement, but it doesn't really matter when the characters still feel disconnected from the world around then.

Extremely disappointed we didnt get a Luis recaps past events scene. Or any Luis whatsoever. They brought back the god damn Baskin Robbins manager but not any of Scotts crew?

I had my complaints about it, but I thought it was decent.

I didn't watch it since everything Marvel kinda blends together now.
It's all internally inconsistent nano-tech space magic with human beings everywhere.

MODOK has been characterized as a joke character forever now. He's supposed to look ugly and silly, and the horrendous effects was supposed to directly say that about him and yet here we are with people being completely oblivious to that point.

1. Kang's character was inconsistent. He went out of his way to be direct and in control of situations. Even after Janet learned the truth from his ship's power core, he still offered to take her home because he said he would, and that offer seemed genuine. Later he refuses to give Ant-Man his daughter back simply because if he hadn't the movie would have ended with them going home and Kang doing his thing instead of Ant-Man fighting to get his daughter back.
2. That second post-credit scene made many of those Kangs look crazy and almost silly instead of intelligent and threatening.
3. Kang and Janet were the only two characters being played by people who cared about the film. Ant-Man's actor especially was phoning it in.
4. The core human drama elements didn't work. Did anyone watching the film actually care about Ant-Man's relationship with his daughter? Are we supposed to feel sympathetic towards Janet for the shame she felt apparently overwhelming any obligation to let the world know bout an insane super villain who has successfully conquered parallel universes, and whose first order of business upon escaping would be to exact vengeance upon Earth if he ever got free? It never occurred to her with active research on applications of the Pym particle taking place that eventually someone would make the mistake of helping enable Kang's escape? Or her complete inability to talk about what's happening when they do get to the quantum realm?
5. It didn't feel like an Ant-Man movie. Any hero or team of heroes could have gotten sucked down into the quantum realm and the movie wouldn't have changed much. Ant-Man's size changing gimmick really didn't matter in a place like the quantum realm, except for that part where he needed to get the power core, but that trial could have been swapped out for a different character or a different set of powers.

Surprised no one was mentioned Cassie.

Most of her lines were horrible. And I felt her and Paul Rudd didn't have much chemistry on screen together.

Just finished it. With how many people are saying they're unhappy with how the movie ended you'd think the movie ended with some sort of cliffhanger but naw. It was your usual popcorn MCU movie. You're crazy if you expected more.
