Do you like portals or minatures?

I mean, I like both?

This was a close one for me. Between these two, I prefer Dr. Strange. Pit him against the first Ant-Man movie, and I'd probably pick that one over him.

I'm sorry, but this one is a Dr. Strange slam dunk. Ant-Man and the Wasp is definitely a lower tier MCU movie. I like the callbacks to Black Goliath, I like the real villain is actually a villain. Michell Pfeiffer's magical quantum powers are a stupid silver bullet for the end. The only necessary part of the movie for understanding the MCU movie franchise is the post-credits scene. If you want to expand to the TV portion, I suppose the interaction with Jimmy Wu at the beginning revealing close-up magic is a minor point. The Dr. Strange visuals are amazing. The final confrontation is clever. The fight scenes are certainly more interesting, particularly when dealing in other dimensions.

Never apologize for your opinions.

Unless you’re a nazi- those guys should apologize. And the Trump family. They have a lot to apologize for.

Okay, I take it back. Sometimes you should apologize for your opinions. But you shouldn’t apologize for these opinions, Darcs.

I apologize because the Ant-Man movies get dunked on con sistantly THey are delightful movies, but get little love or respect. The events that take plac ein these movies don't ultimately matter much in the grand scheme of things. The big villain plans aren't world altering events. But osmetimes smaller stakes and more humor is what you need.
