hey also hey hey also hey so: can you watch this without loki s1? I mean, sure, technically. should you? absolutely not. literally even without the post scenes you really should...have loki under your belt
the jokes! were good! the scenery! was good! the stakes! were a little vague but still I mean not bad! the visuals! were ant-man visuals so mostly good but I was also sitting a little too close and also modok's face suffered from uh strange's third eye but WHATEVER there was MODOK and it's EXPLAINED why YELLOWJACKET is MODOK
the FAMILY FEELINGS with cassie and scott! were good! I don't fucking know why everyone is talking about how little hope there is in this movie because there is plenty of her!
because if you think about how TIME doesn't really MATTER here it means all these kangs probably only exist bc the timeline shattered and they could have all come back into existence at any "time" including this kang and it brings me back to 1x6 where HWR suggested reincarnation and he'll be Right Back Here
scott getting the absolute shit beaten out of him was so. good. and also like. every argument about what does he do now with his power and shit? god. GOOD!
oh also not a spoiler but since I commented on it watching loki, no big changes to the studios logo, but it do got she-hulk and kamala at the very least still laughing to myself that the opening bit has all! the og! avengers! and then some! exceptforclint
I think like. one of my complaints is that sometimes the editing was weird. cutting to a new scene in the middle of a scene that really should've just kept going to its conclusion (eat the goo!)
and since dreams are glimpses into other realities in the multiverse I now know something I want to write and I don't have any overarching plot or idea where it'll end or even how it'll start but
I sat close enough that there was only one person in front of me and he left before the post-scenes so I ain't got no idea how people reacted to my unholy noise and flailing in my seat
They pay for the coffee and Rueben always gave it for free. They just WANT you to think the shop guy is annoyed it’s not Spider-Man but. But! It’s also $12 and Scott’s clearly weirded out by the price...
is it just bc it's a joke that he thought it was spider-man and spidey would get free but fuck ant-man bc it's ant-man, or IS IT A DIFFERENT TIMELINE...
YEAH YEAH YEAH and what a great setup and huge paradigm shift if this family is somewhere else!!! but it does then suggest that they are...gone? in this timeline? bc they would've gone back to their respective homes and clearly no other variants of themselves were there in those homes
one would hope janet would get them where they're going since it's a relatively simple matter of making them all big again but since she's working with this (now modified) piece of interdimensional crap, like yes she studied it for years to try and get it working again but that doesn't mean she actually knows how it works
like it did feel exactly like that!! and the LITTLE things!! but also like...the reasons that wouldn't currently make sense make me wonder if we're supposed to think that or if that's just........a missed opportunity?? (bc WHERE would this universe's family be! or is it one where they...DIDN'T come back from the quantum realm?)
there's the idea floated that the quantum realm is outside of time, but given that time passes just at different rates, and it can be used to time travel, that is demonstrably untrue. but kang, this kang who is not this universe's kang, still got shunted here presumably by his other selves
soonso this is my plurk I am making ahead of time to do whatever screaming/bitching that will happen afterreap consequences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!a different universestill laughing to myself that the opening bit has all! the og! avengers! and then some! exceptforclint
unholy noiseand flailing in my seatbut it does then suggest that they are...gone? in this timeline? bc they would've gone back to their respective homes and clearly no other variants of themselves were there in those homes
