  • Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, shrinking expectations...

    *Spoiler warning* It's been a bit of a hiatus but we're back to discuss the latest addition to the MCU: Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Following what seems to be a familiar trend in Phase 4, this sequel falls short of expectations (for us anyway). Although there are some great cameos, interesting new concepts and an intriguing introduction to the new big bad, the plot feels convoluted, the jokes mostly fall flat and the action sequences are uninspiring. Let us know what you think, whether you agree or disagree!

It's been a long hiatus since our last pod - so much Marvel content so little time - what did you think of the new Black Panther? What do you think about Phase 4 and the overall direction that Marvel is heading?
