A very unhinged Quantumania review(SPOILERS)
WHERE TO START
RYAN BERGARA?!?!
BILL MURRY?!?!
DAVID DASTMALCHIAN?!?!?
WILLIAM JACKSON HARPER!?!???
LOKI AND MOBIOUS?!?!?
Anyway-
Something I noticed is most of the quantum realm has a warm color scheme(reds, oranges, yellows and browns) including the landscapes and clothing and Kang and his army have cool colors(blues, greens and purples) like they’re armor and abilities which is some cool use of color to signify that Kang is a colonizer conqueror
I adore Kang’s costume design
The mask making his face blue like the comics and the realistic yet futuristic textures
Cassie>>>>>>
She’s such a realistic child of superhero.
She just wants to join in
She’s a sweetie
She also reacts very queerly to Jentorra
I adore Scott and Hope’s relationship! It’s also very grounded and realistic. They’re in love and they live together and Hope is basically Cassie’s step mom and it’s not a big deal.
CASSIE CALLS HANK AND JANET HER GRANDPARENTS
They’re a family goddamnit
Scott went to dinner with Jimmy!
Scott Lang is the best mcu dad I will not take any criticism
I like Janet’s arc, it’s so interesting to learn more about her life and her regrets
Most of the fights would’ve gone by quicker if Scott and Cassie had stingers
I know it’s not like something ants have but like they have no long range attacks
In the scene where all the Scotts make a mountain is similar to how some species of ants work
HANK PYM AUTISTIC ICON
His special interest is ANTS
The line “she wasn’t you, baby” fucking hurt
THE PARALLELS BETWEEN JANET AND HOPE AND SCOTT AND CASSIE.
Scott and Cassie are very physically affectionate and I love that
The ending felt a little clunky but I’m glad Scott didn’t die bc Paul Rudd is a sweetie
I think we could’ve spent less time on action and more on quantum realm world building but it’s a marvel movie and I’m a clown
The quantum realm world design and species designs is so fucking cool. It’s so interesting to look at
“Is that building alive?” “Your’s are dead?!?”
“STOP ASKING ABOUT HIS HOLES SOME OF US HAVE HOLES.” William your line delivery always gets me
The living buildings do kinda look likes dicks tho
“It’s not to late to not be a dick” “Look at me I’m such a dick”
MODOK being Darren took me so off guard but I loved it.
Jonathan Majors’ acting is brilliant
He made me feel kinda bad for him, or at least understand him
Michelle Pfeiffer’s line delivery felt a bit stale, but the emotions were there. She did a great job at playing someone who wasn’t able to genuinely trust others or show her feelings for 30 years.
Evangeline Lily is a darling and I adore that Hope’s character isn’t performative in her badassery
Kathryn Newton is a badass and a sweetheart as always
Michael Douglas is awesome at the old scientist who just really likes ants and his family
And Paul Rudd is amazingly loveable and soft as Scott, of course. His main motivation has always been Cassie and Paul Rudd sells the fuck outta that.
All the side actors a great(William Jackson Harper in particular but that is biased bc I’m a Chidi stan)
This is a movie about family, as many of the phase 4 projects have been. It’s about protecting your family and what you will do for those you love.
(i mean it’s no tlou but yk)
I found the pacing a bit off
But I loved the ending(anxiety icon Scott)

I’d give it an 8/10 definitely a fun watch
