The Worst Thing About Quantumania is How Predictable It Looks in First Trailer
Yaay, new Spider-Man movie! Oh, wait, it's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Looks like there is barely a difference – and even Marvel acknowledges it.
A first trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was released on Monday, setting the stage up for a new Marvel villain and delving into the quantum realm. However, it seems that the hype is not as big as it used to be.
In what is touted as "self-awareness", Marvel takes a jab at itself by sliding a Spider-Man name-drop into the trailer. Scott Land laughs at it, but it also seems to be an indicator of how people are no longer able to differentiate one Marvel movie from another.
According to fans, the new trailer looks exactly "like every other Marvel movie". It is true to some extent, because if you are not an old-school fan, you are unlikely to be able to quickly tell the difference between the Ant-Man movie and any other Multiverse Saga installment.
"Yeah the very beginning is just them literally creating the problem that leads to the movie which just happened in no way home when peter messed up the spell," Twitter user MyParlaysTakeLs said.
It's not that the movie doesn't make sense – it's that we have already seen this all before. Fans note that even though the movie "looks interesting", Marvel still starts to "get repetitive" and doesn't offer anything to make up for it.
One fan wondered why does the new Ant-Man installment feel like Guardians of the Galaxy. Another fan offered an obvious answer, saying that basically "all of Marvels movies since GOTG1 have been the same movie."
Others argued that Marvel films has been relatively similar to each other since the start, but the thing now is that the fandom has grown older.
Have the movies? Well, now that the MCU is in the middle of a new saga, we're going to have to watch the movie to know for sure. As of now, fans are keeping track of the "repetitiveness" trend and hope for the best.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania premieres in theaters on February 17, 2023.
