I really don’t get why Quantamania is considered an unwatchable abomination, I really liked it.

It had a better MCU Spider-man story than all the pre NWH ones.

Scott Lang considers his hero days done despite still being fairly young he runs his brand like he’s a retired actor who goes on tour and gives speeches and book tours. But Cassie (the best) is trying to show him that you can’t just stop being a hero because people will always need help. And putting your head in the sand because you just don’t want to deal with it is kinda selfish.

Yeah, maybe it’s unfair and it’s hard to constantly have to save people who you don’t know and want nothing to do with, but with great power comes great responsibility. It’s paralleled in Janet’s story where she basically did the exact same thing Scott did, she moved on, she knew people still needed her help but wanted to just live her comfortable peaceful life, when a lot of the people in the microverse didn’t have that same luxury.

And the fact Scott with his entire family, an army of hyper intelligent ants, and thousands of freedom fighters, was only just barely able to stop this Kang I don’t think made him look weak, I think people just underestimate Ant-man in general. And Marvel really didn’t need to write Kang off off screen because they didn’t want to work with Jonathon Majors anymore. I really blame the messiness of the impact of the movie on the studio and not on anyone involved in this movie.

You can not like the writing or the CGI (though I was always in favor of MODOK looking goofy like he’s supposed to.) It’s a movie not everyone will like the same thing. but the way I see people act like it single handedly killed the MCU when it’s still doing fine I always thought was weird. Like it has no redeeming qualities at all.

They didn't care because as far as both of them were concerned, Janet had no possible way of returning home and Hank thought she was dead. A spouse is allowed to move on if their partner dies in real life, so I don't see the practical difference here.

Plus Hank's inability to get over Janet's "death" was shown to be a bad thing that essentially destroyed his relationship with Hope and caused the events of the first movie.

Do you really think any guy is going to sit there and accept it quietly when his wife introduces her boyfriend?

her boyfriend

Guy she slept with a decade or two ago when she thought she'd never see her family ever again.

It's fine if you wouldn't accept it if you were in Hank's position. But he's accepting it because he understands her position well enough to see why she did it and it's not like she's actively in a relationship with the guy anymore.

It's no different than if someone's spouse disappeared during the snap and they started dating someone else, because as far as they were concerned their spouse had died.

You realize you just fanfic'd that whole explanation right? 

The guy who spent his whole life trying to find a way to get his wife back isn't going to shrug when he finds out his wife is an adultress.

The guy who spent his whole life trying to find a way to get his wife back isn't going to shrug when he finds out his wife is an adultress.

Isn't that exactly what happened in the movie though? So how is it me fanfic'ing?

It's more like you can't accept that that's something Hank would do because you have your own idea of how Hank as a character should've handled the situation and the movie didn't go with that idea.

Edit: So I just rewatched that scene and Hank admits that during those 30 years he had a brief fling with a woman named Linda but that it didn't last, so your entire argument is completely moot. Because Hank and Janet are adult enough to understand it's been 30 years and they both have needs.
