![]() In fact, some of the most powerful agents in the MCU don't even have powers. Whether a major player in the MCU has been gifted with some sort of divinity or a fictional metahuman alteration that offers near-omnipotence (such as The Marvels' Captain Marvel), there are specific heroes and villains who harbor a true fighting spirit. Marvel's ever-growing roster of heroes and villains features an eclectic array of metahumans, gods, and geniuses capable of upsetting the world order - or protecting it. And during that same period, new heroes (and villains) continue to enter the grand picture that is the MCU all vying for relevance. For several years, the MCU has been bolstered by the adulation and support of adoring fans. In the world of superheroes, the MCU is basically akin to the Wild West. The first two Ant-Man movies were nothing great, but they weren't this bad, right? Perhaps they were we just were in such an MCU high that we either didn't notice or gave them a pass. However, I'd say director Peyton Reed is the true culprit here, especially because, after two movies, Reed should know better and have more control over these characters. ![]() Who's to blame for Quantumania's mediocrity? Screenwriter Jeff Loveness bears much of the blame, penning a weak story that squandered one of the MCU's most personable heroes and introduced the Multiverse Saga's Big Bad with a fizzle rather than a bang. ![]() Alas, the film wasted all this potential, offering a weird and confused story with awful CGI, absurd characters, and no real stakes, despite what its monologuing villain claimed. Quantumania had all the elements to succeed: Paul Rudd's charm, a thrilling premise - on paper, anyway -, an interesting villain, Michelle Pfeiffer. The film was a critical and commercial disappointment, continuing the MCU's current trend to deliver subpar efforts that further complicate the already shaky and convoluted Multiverse Saga. There's no way to sugarcoat it: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was not good.
