Ant-Man had the best MCU movies until this movie


This movie killed everything that was great about the first 2 Ant-Man movies.

So what was great about the first 2?

1. His relationship / chemistry with the actress who played the daughter.
2. His prison buddies (T.I., Pena, Dastmalchian)
3. The simplicity of the superhero's and to lesser extent the villians' powers.
4. A familiar urban and suburban setting.

The other MCU movies couldn't compete with this, except maybe Spiderman and Iron Man.
Captain America has no personality. Hulk is a complete mess.
Thor doesn't know what it wants to be.
Black Panter died.
Dr Strange overreaches.

Quantumania:
1. Has a completely different daughter(I understand that she has to get older, but still)
2. No prison buddies.
3. No simplicity. What the hell is Kang, a multi-verse conqueror or a slugger?
4. Anything but a familiar setting.

Also, Evangeline Lilly went from eye candy to looking older than Michelle Pfeiffer.

The wall spares no woman; old age gets us all eventually.

familiar settings are boring

Agree that the first two are much much better. Marvel should have kept his solo movies more simple and the definitely needed to keep his prison buddies. Leave the quantum realm and more complicated villains for the Fantastic Four.
