Apropos, if you haven't seen it, the Modok tv series is a lot of fun and more aimed towards adults. It's not part of the MCU canon.

It's amazing - Patton Oswalt kills the role! Really reminds me of Robot Chicken.
I thought it was RC until I watched it. An enjoyable show
I was really hoping that they would stop trying to keep to a single canon after Endgame. There’s no more stakes to raise at that point. What’s your next move? Killing and saving 2/3 of the universe?
What I wanted to see was for them to embrace the multiverse and just let go of a single story arc. Let the hero’s just live in their own worlds and don’t limit yourself to a single actor.
So many creative ideas are limited by the adherence to a single plot. It was really cool for a long while, but I’m tired. I want a reset and a chance for new writers, directors and producers to get a chance to show us their unique versions of these heroes’ worlds.
I mean to steal from the top comments on the linked thread... That's what MODOK looks like.
Sure the origin is different, but that's ok. I wish he would have stuck around longer, but he's probably too silly to really fit in with the rest of the MCU as established.
Besides there are so many things to complain about with this movie, an Ant-Man film that drops all their fun side characters, Bill Murray is wasted, and of course the big bad of the whole era just so easily defeated, just to name a few.
But this movie had fun scenes with the ant army, the various goo people, and just Paul Rudd being Paul Rudd.
Ultimately this film fails because even though it was just "ok" when watching, it ultimately goes nowhere. We're just coming off Phase 4 (if phases matter) which is disjointed and didn't really have a purpose. Here is the start of KANG... and he sucks. Teased in the Loki series, then something mysterious at the end of Shang Chi, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange play with the Multiverse, and now... a whimper.
Now I realize there are outside forces at play here, and the plan is for Doomsday to pickup where these loose ends dropped, but it still sucks.
Tbh the comic image looks a little intimidating, the movie is straight up goofy
He did have an intimidating face when the mask was down. They went for the more lighthearted crazy MODOK when the mask was up/removed. I'd have to scrub through the scenes again but I thought he had some scenes where he was yelling that also looked intimidating.
If you held on until Ant Man 3, I presume you skipped DrStange 2, Black Panther 2, and "Thor: bring your kid to the movie lot*?
The MCU's been putting out "meh" and "camp" movies for years. (Thor 2). I still go because I have a fairly low bar for date-night, and they're still not the worst movies I've sat through. But I don't know if I'd want to re-watch any of the ones I mentioned.
No that's his point. This is what broke the glass for them. What shattered it. This is when they realize oh wait I don't like everything I've been seeing for a number of years now. That's what he's saying.
I absolutely loved Dr Strange 2. If anything, that should have been any example of how the MCU could break from the mold from time to time instead of being the same.
Black Widow on the other hand...
And there’s still the odd gem to be found. Thunderbolts and F4 First Steps were both really good.
Looks like Thor 2 was so bad you completely forgot it existed and are calling Thor 3 "Thor 2". :)
Having seen one marvel movie, I thought this was spy-kids.
haven't enjoyed them for years
Yeah cause it's not like everybody and his mother went to go see Infinity War, Endgame, and Spider-Man No Way Home. 🙄
Got to love the edgelords who have to shit on everything just because.
The newest film mentioned here is 4 years old.
I don't watch them, but as a fan of the old comics this image is actually the most exciting thing I've seen come out of the movies in years.
Still not going to watch it, but cool movie still.
I’m just stoned and wandered in from all, welp see ya later
