Kang the Conquerer in Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania might have been the good guy!!

(Or at least the least evil villain in this story... so hear me out! :))

I just went out to see Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania with my family and my father, who has never seen a single Marvel movie, just had the greatest speculation in the world!

Imagine: The first post credit scene showed three main Kang Variants disputing the matter of the exiled Kangs fate which resulted in them calling every single one of the remaining Kang Variants. Now, think about the short scene where Janet touched Kangs mind (and therefore most likely the other Kang's minds). And lastly, think of the way Kang asked her multiple times about what she saw and how they never had time to talk about what she had seen.

Now here's the thing my father pointed out:

What if the Kang in Quantumania was the Kang they SHOULD have let free? What if the other Kangs exiled that particular Kang because he wanted to STOP the other Kangs? What if Janet had seen what the other Kangs had done and what that Kang was trying to stop? This would make a lot more sense than just all the other remaining Kangs exiling that one Kang because he was following the same mindset. Maybe it was all just a big misunderstanding?

This especially makes sense if you include the ending of Quantumania in this debate, where Scott "overthinks" what has happened and guesses (right) that other Kangs will come and bring destruction upon the world.

Please give me some pieces if your mind in the comments. To me, this makes so much sense. xD

You know what, the ridiculousness that is MODOK in Quantumania works. Idc what anyone says, only an Ant-Man movie could have pulled that off and it did.

They even gave Cassie her first inspirational hero moment😭

I'm taking Ryan Bergara's 0.5 second cameo as confirmation that BFU/Watcher is canon in the mcu.

Which means that despite living in a reality full of aliens, monsters, and superpowers, mcu!Shane Madej still does not believe in ghosts.

This scene!!!!

The main thing I absolutely love about the Ant-Man movies is the concept of an unproblematic family. No toxic environments, no useless fights, just simple understanding. Not to say that they don’t have their issues, but at the end of the day they’re still an extremely supportive family.

Quantumania shows that. Hank and Janet talking for the first time about their partners since she returned involved simple understanding and logic. At one point these two people realized they weren’t gonna see each other again and so they tried something else. It made sense. No drama was made out of this (props to the writers).

Cassie fits so easily into the van Dyne family. She calls Hank and Janet grandpa and grandma??!!! Shut up, I need a few business days to recover from that. They love her without question and treat her as their own while also being respectful towards her actual mother (and her stepdad which we also saw in the first two movies).

I realize that there is something idyllic about this concept of a perfect family, but it’s still heartwarming to see these kinds of dynamics once in a while instead of the usual drama. Quantumania (and the other two antman movies) are just brilliant in their ridiculousness and the way this family interacts with each other complements the insanity of the plot.
