from Cinematic Doctrine: A Movie Review Podcast Hosted by Christians · host Daniel Braindead
Send us a Question!MOVIE DISCUSSION: Daniel joins Melvin in discussing the second Rotten-rated film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania! Critics have been critical, and fans have been mildly amused. But, what about us? Tune in to find out! Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 35-minutes discussing The Flash trailer, Ezra Miller's influential escapades, James Gunn's future changes for DC, and so much more! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Melvin wastes little time criticizing the outsized scope of the film, a borderline-Shakespearian world-ending character exploration flick written and directed by individuals whose previous work include bit-comedy, a functionally and fundamentally different style of storytelling. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quuntamania is 125-minutes and barely anything happens. After two comedy-heist features, it feels weird for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to take itself so seriously... and also not really be a heist movie. Melvin and Daniel agree that Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania isn't particularly good, but they don't agree with the extreme distaste toward the film. Daniel shares an epiphany he had during his theater experience, one surrounded by teens and nerdbros. Melvin complains about what he's calling the "Multiverse Narrative Confusion" that Marvel's Cinematic Universe is currently experiencing. Daniel elaborates further on the Multiverse problem. Talking M.O.D.O.K. Melvin and Daniel begin pitching various comedy bits and motifs for their version of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, one that is more in tune with the comedy of it's previous films. Pondering the general diminishing return of the MCU. Recommendations: Marvel's M.O.D.O.K.
