#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania it’s a solid, if overly ambitious, start to the next phase of the MCU. Jonathan Majors is an absolute FORCE as #Kang and the NEW KING of the Multiverse. The final battle is AMAZING, but I really missed the allure of comedy throughout. #Ant Man pic.twitter.com/NRj3fzjCKa

#quantumania risks its frivolity on a dramatic comedy that visually resembles Spy Kids. Though the film lacks the charisma of the earlier installments, the conflict ultimately moves the Multiverse saga, spotlighting Jonathan Majors as a fearsome Kang. #socialreaction pic.twitter.com/VaOlbNAp7S
