Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

This was a GREAT movie… for seven-year-olds. In a story and script that feels like it was written by the effects people, the family of sub-atomic, size-changers get sucked into the “quantum realm.” Normally, I’m against a bunch of “world-building” but the rules of the realm are mysterious and fluid, much like the blobby creatures and structures that make up the realm. Why is it the way that it is? Atypically, Michelle Pfeiffer carries the water here. It’s her decisions, both good and bad that make up the story and push the plot, which is less goofy than previous Ant-Mans. And because it’s called "Ant-Man," it’s Paul Rudd who has to fight the "big bad" at the end. It’s always funny that these deities with all of these superpowers just punch it out at the end in a dirty street fight. She-Hulk found a hilarious workaround of this trope, which is well-worth checking out on Disney Plus. In a lot of ways, I’ve liked the Marvel TV shows a little more than the movies lately. More story risk, less exploding eyeball candy. Wanda’s dreams and goals in Wanda/Vision are so much more interesting than Kang's. What does Kang want? What’s his deal? They say the best villains in a story are ones that believe they are the hero. I guess we’ll learn more about Kang in future episodes. Per Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, here’s hoping it’s called “Aunt Man.”
