Totally agreed, that payoff for that character was much greater in this one than his first appearance. What's his name's performance was perfectly over the top for this character, a really nice counterbalance to cool as a cat Kang.I really dug the reveal that MODOK.Spoiler:
Antman from Ant-Man 1 was ROTS ObiWan, MODOK was Anakin post ROTS and Kang was the Emperor.
I was ready to hate the blown up clean cgi face but it actually added to the deformity.
Maybe a more "realistic" looking MODOK would have been better and maybe it wouldn't have been. But what we got was incredibly memorable in a good way and this is coming from someone who's always liked the character and was mad that he was going to be "wasted" in a non-Captain America movie.
Just imagine how bizarre that entrance was for everyone but Cassie, lol.
I would still say that Goblin accomplished way more with killing May than Kang accomplished BUT the 3rd act of AntMan blew away the 3rd act of NWH.Yes we definitely have a lot of overlapping tastes but I wouldn't expect you to share my excitement over this movie. If AWOW did nothing for you then you'd probably outright hate this one.
I would argue that expectations have lowered but not tastes. I certainly wasn't sitting in the theater desperate for this to be good or exciting. In fact I was quite bored 30 minutes in and started thinking "damn AWOW is still showing two auditoriums down, why aren't I just watching that again." Same with TGM which is back in theaters due to the Oscar nom. But then the movie really started clicking and things that I thought were being thrown at the audience as empty spectacle (various alien characters and what have you) started to have huge payoffs by the end.
I'm not sure where I'd rank AM3 in Phase 1-3 but it is definitely worthy to be included IMO. Even if it's exactly in the middle of the pack of the first 23 movies that still puts it smack dab in the middle of some terrifically entertaining company.
And yes I did enjoy NWH, even a second time when I recently watched the EE but I suspect that AM3 will have much greater rewatch value going forward.

Yep I agree.
Hell yeah he did and it was totally valid and earned as well. I noticedHank Pym (Lando) had a legit.
Seriously who the hell would have thought that after Wakanda Forever and the horrible critic RT scores, lol.
Creed 3 it is lol
I’ve seen it and liked it JAWS-GAR lol
Well yeah with
Well there's that too, lol.
But he still gets beat… Twice if I count the first time he got stuck there.Well yeah with
Not if they act and look like that
Loki was beaten by Thor alone in his first movie, and we still accepted him as the threat the whole Avengers needed to come together and stop next time he showed up.
Afterlife?? That surprises me.
Just sayin'... I feel like tastes have lowered substantially post-EG... in a desperate attempt to "be excited" at the movies again. I don't see the worthiness in many of these raved about movies lately.
The only ones I truly liked were Afterlife and Maverick (I know, not MCU). Not one Marvel production have I felt was a worthy successor to the Phase 1-3 masterpiece that was "The MCU" in the 20-teens.
