i feel like upon diving into the multiverse, there has been no stakes due to the vast opportunities regarding endless story making. because of this, the mcu universe is bound to always win with minor consequences. the movie would’ve been great if Scott was stuck in the quantum realm after defeating kang, which would imply that they won with a cost

Let me guess big cgi army(bad) fought big cgi army(good) in the end and good cgi army won.

Ant-man 1 was really good because the script was written by Edgar Wright. However, he wanted the film to stand on its own. He left the project because of the scene with Sam Wilson.

Kind sad that Scott group of friends didn’t pop up in this one, there presence definitely felt needed.

I did not want Kang to lose. I wanted him to win. Not just in this movie but in other solo hero movies before Kang dynasty. Because that would have been really cool that a villain is destroying one by one each avenger before they all realise they need to team up and avenge the fallen. I certainly did not want him to get beaten by ants, no matter how futuristic, and high tech they are. I just don’t. Which is why i want this movie to fail. I’m tired of marvel not taking risks and giving us the same boring happy ending with no serious consequences to the main character’s life. Also who the heck even cares about that quantum civilisation. Can’t even remember their names.

I think it’s very telling that they didn’t even bother to give this new Cassie actress brown contact lenses. Apparently quantum entanglement changes eye color aswell.

I've been arguing with many online because they don't understand. I came up with a simple thought experiment to explain our frustration. Imagine if, instead of Kang, it was Tony Stark... given the time and resources, would Tony have lost to Antman, Wasp, and smart ants. Obviously not... so why have us believe Kang would.

Ant-man and the Wasp Quantumania SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN one of the first movies to introduce Kang. Given that the Marvel formula always has it that the hero triumphs over the villain, Ant-man is one of the worst heroes to be shown defeating Kang. It immediately lowers how serious we're supposed to take Kang, which is a bad idea if he's supposed to be the next big bad. The only way this could've worked is that Kang actually does defeat Ant-Man and kill him, raising the stakes and giving an actual big death for the heroes.

I really enjoyed Ant man Quantumania, but i have to agree with a lot of people that the ending should have been darker. Scott getting stuck in the quantum realm once again would have been something interesting in the marvel universe instead of the usual happyy ending

Honestly makes me really sad to lose the young Cassie who was so loveable and had great chemistry with Rudd, trading her in for another bland, inexplicably great at everything female hero

That’s crazy.. we’re in a world where now you have to wait till the movie hit a streaming service for it to get updated so it can look better 😂

“They ended up in Disneys Strange World.” Best comparison I’ve heard 😂

The threat of Kang isn't Kang himself like with Thanos, it's his knowledge of the multiverse and the fact that even if you manage to kill 10 variants there are still 1000 that are plotting something similar. If you look at it in the same lens as we looked at Thanos then of course Kang being defeated so easily is a problem but when you understand who Kang really is you realize one Kang being defeated means basically nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Poor Johnathan Majors. Signing up to be the best shipmate on a sinking ship

Imagine how hype it would’ve been for the start of this phase to be a fantastic 4 movie I 100% think that’s what this should’ve been

The only thing wrong with quantumania is that Luis wasn’t in it

Technically, Kang is the smallest bad guy so far

They should’ve showed us how he conquered the quantum realm

This movie broke my heart. It felt like I wasted money on a 3d ticket.

The fact someone oked MODOK to be shown to the general public is absolutely insane. Almost crazier than the creators thinking the audience would buy Antman somehow not being obliterated by Kang in that third act fight. Stupidity

I would actually like to say that in civil war, Ant Man and spider-man served the same purpose of support. Both almost completely turned the tides of the fight for either side. It was amazingly done. Also. I love how every one says it’s ants. Like ants being triple the size of a normal human being and in great numbers would not be a problem. When IRL an army of ants swarming you and biting you would be excruciating pain. Lol

I'm old enough to remember that time when kang got defeated by normal cockroachs.

as funny as it is kang getting stopped by insects is comic accurate it actually happened once I was surprised when they adapted that to the big screen😂

Because of the line in the trailer when Kang told Ant Man that he could give Scott more time with his daughter, I thought it would be really cool if Kang was able to coerce Scott into becoming his servant. But in the movie, nah. Kang was talking to Janet and somehow his armor gets torn apart by ants and he loses

I think the biggest disappointment for me is that Peyton Reed said Ant-Man and the Wasp would partially be a rom com and it barely felt that way. Considering how he made successful rom coms in the past and I wouldn't have minded the movie being part heist movie, part rom com. So to hear that The Wasp herself is barely relevant in this movie, along with other gripes, is just depressing. Ant-Man and The Wasp may not be the most interesting MCU characters but they have the most unique superpowers out of most of the Avengers. Shrinking and growing themselves while also shrinking and growing anything else? AND communicating with different races of ants who have their own "powers" and using them as sidekicks? That's so freaking cool! Here's hoping Scott's memoir will be great. I already pre-ordered it and I'm hoping he talked with Doctor Strange about how they were the only Avengers who traveled the Quantum Realm before Endgame.

I like the ant man movies. They are like bite size snacks. But going in big with Kang was too much.

The movie wasn’t bad but you can definitely tell they played it safe. There was no stakes, no major death or people stick in the quantum realm. So it underplayed Kang. Major did an amazing job with the limited time he had on screen though. Marvel really need to utilize him better in my opinion

I am 90% sure that Kang is alive. THAT Kang varient will be the big bad. I think originally the ending would've had Scott and Hope stuck there wtih Kang escaping, but they probably wanted to preserve that twist. I wonder if this leads into Loki where each pieces of Kang's personality was split accross the Time Line, with the worst part trying to regain control or something. At least that is the set-up before everything goes wrong, like that massive tonal shift 3/4 of the way through Agents of Shield Season 1. I really loved this movie, I get why people didn't, but I can't wait to see what comes next. I also read a great theory that Scott fell back into a different timeline, hence why people looked at him weird and the food tasted horrible (food is food DALE). But regardless, can't wait for what comes next!

I may be a looking a little too much into this but when Cassie and the family says “oh ya you saved the universe and all but what have you done lately? Your daughter is helping with the homeless.” It’s like saying to a WW2 veteran you aren’t important or a good person because you aren’t helping people today

First ant-man looked so good visually. The quantum realm in the end of that movie, also just made me curious. I wish they kept that style in the new one.

The downside to too much quantity and not enough quality. One singular Thanos was more villainous and daunting than an entire room full of Kang deviants. Think about that.

Ant Man and The Wasp: Quantamania is basically a Spy Kids reboot

'Everyone came out unscathed'... not MODOK

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="184">3:04</a> - T.I. "Paper Trail" reference. I see what you did there lol

That paper trail line is genius writing

Here's who I want to see as variants of the multiverse: characters from The Gifted (including recasting Andy because of the crap Percy Hynes White did), the "Avengers" members of The Incredible Hulk movies (never watched them but I've seen a video with interviews from the actors), 2005 Fantastic Four, Venom. I haven't watched the rest but Wesley Snipes's Blade, Mattfleck Daredevil, the previous two actors who played The Punisher, Johnny Blaze, The Hoff's Nick Fury, a version of The Falcon who CAN control birds. There are so many of them that cameoing in just Secret Wars doesn't feel like enough. I almost don't want them to destroy the multiverse unless they recover their universes. The Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths ended by recovering only a few Earths and bringing the main shows, two of which taking place in their own Earths, into one universe. Which is what I imagine the MCU will do with the X-Men franchise. What I don't want them to do after Secret Wars is completely separate them from the multiverse, forbid variants from traveling to other Earths and destroy ALL of it. Edit: another character I'd love to see come back would be The Supreme Intelligence! Remember how it took the appearance of whatever the character in front of it admired the most? It's the perfect excuse to have actors playing fan favorite characters once again and it's even more grandiose when it confronts multiverse variants!

Only thing missing was the funny Louis Guy from antman 1 and 2 :(

I was also wondering why they used Ant Man to introduce Kang like...why? I guess it's cause they haven't used him in a while I guess.

This mans got “boy bye” for his background music. Hella respect my guy

Ant man 1 was good.. Edgar Wright had some contribution in it..

they made that woman run through a pyrotechnic's dream with no advance warning and said she wouldn't do it if they told her. maybe that means don't secretly force her to do something you think she'll refuse.

I got a silly amount of joy from you calling him Chidi. I was like “Chidi!!!” In the theatre and I got looks lol

My thoughts exactly, why did Ant-Man have to be Kang's first movie for crying out loud?

I've noticed in a few reviews that the reviewer calls Cassie, Hope's daughter. Which she isn't, and Cassie's mom is still alive, just divorced from Scott.

Loving the back to back videos!!!

Quantumania starts @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="570">9:30</a> your welcome

"Hope and Hank crank and hope that...." I'm still here twenty minutes later basking in this line.

your edits are pretty damn fire bro.

Did anyone forget Ant man was a criminal? I completely forgot about that because he acts like such a golden retriever whenever he’s on screen and his buddies kinda don’t get a lot of screen time after the 1st movie.

Ant-man 3 didn’t really feel like an Ant-man film. It felt like the Flash CW show. The first 2 seasons were about the flash, but afterwards it’s the Flash team show. This film is like the Ant-man team movie. It’s not really about Ant-man it’s about his daughter and Janet. This is a slight tangent but I miss the 2000s era of superhero films like the blade, the dark knight, and the Spider-Man trilogy. They focused on the titular character, but now we don’t have that. We have these MCU projects that are so intertwined that they’re just platforms to introduce new characters we don’t care about. Which is a reason I don’t think big interconnected movie universes are always good. Sometimes a good standalone film or trilogy is fine…. Actually, there are so many similarities between CW DC shows and the MCU it’s frightening. Hopefully, the MCU doesn’t become CW DC shows.

Love your work!❤

this video made me realize how many puns the first ant man is built on

Those Arrested Development references 🤣Kitty Sanchez he he he.

Majors performance is too good for the MCU.

SO MUCH ART LATELY!!! Missed ya.

Jonathan Majors is the only reason to show up to these movies and they knew, which is why they gave him a million different roles. I’d watch a movie where he plays all the parts.

You never did a “Let Me Explain The Batman”. I’m still waiting on that video!

Love the lil pink panthress intro lol😭

How did the Thor joke undercut the villain when Kang a couple lines later calls Scott, Ant Man, meaning Kang knew the entire time and was playing dumb. I had high hopes I found another reviewer who understood the nuance of QM but just found another one who needs to see the movie again because they missed half of the subtly.

The first Ant-Man is honestly a top tier MCU film.

I thought Cassie was getting coaching from Pym after she read his journals? Edit: Both to build the device and to open portals.

that pinkpanthress instrumental

always good stuff man ... thank you

Ant-Man and The Wasp wasn't that bad to begin with. It has everything we could expect out of a superhero movie franchise. The case did a stellar job overall.

1st time commenting Pym your ride was a good one

The boys a liar instrumental threw me off lmfaoajksks

That T.I. paper trial pun Was chefs kiss bro lolll....all the puns matter fact, well done on the writing.

"Does any out they're know how to perform rotator cuff surgery" I felt that

great video! I don’t agree will all your takes, but you know how to make a video. Awesome work. Keep it up

it's a good thing Jonathan Majors has a strong back.

I find it funny how the only movie called “civil war” doesn’t have two giant armies at the end. Just a handful or fighters and that gets even smaller. This seems like the movie that would have done the same, but nah.

Thank you to HUNGRYROOT for sponsoring this antman LME The first 100 people to use my promo code LETMEEXPLAIN40 will get 40% off their first order of Hungryroot at bit.ly/3IIKjtL ►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►►

More LME? How serendipitous

the audio Oscar reference tho 🤣🤣🤣

Bill Murray isn't Zapp Brannigan, he's Lando Calrissian

Paul Rudd calls Thor’s hammer Jonathan in a interview and kang (Jonathan majors) asks if Scott is the guy with the hammer in this movie lol

Love that you called him chede

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each antman

I’ve missed your explanations for movies g

I thought it was Sharkboy and Lavagorl by the thumbnail....then I read the title. I've never clicked anything so fast in my life 😂😂😂😂

23 minutes!! I’m sat!

The boy bye instrumental makes this video a 10/10

Bruh MODOK looked literally like Mr. Electric from Sharkboy and lavagirl movie lol.. that's the only thing running in my mind all the time i was in theatre

Bro the music tho 😂😂

LME Coming with the 24 min Complete BANGER of a Video!!!!

I think have the Gillian be Annilaus. Make it the Negative Zone rather than the Quantum Realm and I think it would work better.

Thank you for saving me from watching yet another mcu movie. I have no care whatsoever about any character in any of these movies, but I do greatly enjoy your videos.

The Chidi reference sent me 🤣🤣

best line - scott decided to fight no run 😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 that infinity war bit

oh boy. Let me explain be explaining stuff.

this video has some incredible songs

Please do an LME on the Scream franchise since Scream VI is about to be released 😭

Listennnnn…… I need you to do a Let Me Explain on Missing. In my opinion of 2023 and we are only in the 3rd Month. I need this movie to get some more exposure.

Yeah..., I am DEFINITELY going to wait until this movie hits Disney+. Hopefully, Guardians of the Galaxy, volume 3 will be worth risking health and wealth to go the movie theater. 🤞🏾

I enjoyed the movie, I thought it was a lot of fun, but I totally agree with a lot of the criticisms too. I mean, all the cringey bits were cringey, but also, I enjoyed it.

Ghost is gonna become a member of Thunderbolts!

Bro, they made Modok look like Mr.Electric

Dudeeeeee I was hoping that you'd do a LME on puss in boots 2 😭
