I love Ant-Man. I love the OG cast. I love the concept.
However... The charm that came with the first two installments is gone. What makes Ant-Man so good is the "fish out of water" aspect of an ex-con who has lost everything, suddenly becoming a super hero and redeeming himself... while kicking some ass. We are also missing Michael Peña and his narrative cut scenes. I loved those dog!
Just like with Thor: Love and Thunder, we are telling more of a story that has already been told. It adds nothing to the greater MCU. We have some of the same, tired old villians (M.O.D.O.K) who somehow are forced into relevancy, (as someone else here said) "in a Rick and Morty" kind of way. Don't get me wrong, I love Rick and Morty, but I this is not R&M, it's Marvel. The only interesting thing we get is a summation of what Janet did during her 30 years in the Quantum Realm, which we really didn't need to know anyways.
Unfortunately, Quantumania is another victim of a film made after Endgame where we all were content with how things ended.
