it's the smallest seen in ant-man and the wasp that has the biggest
consequences and of course I'm talking about Marvel's signature and credits
scene every big blockbuster should have an end credits scene I feel very adamant
about this Marvel even sometimes doesn't do it these days but they tacked on I
think the saving grace of this movie but of course this is where a big ol spoiler
warning shows up so consider yourself warned
still here ok so first off ant-man in the wasp takes place before infinity war
with our characters not aware of the big picture because smaller details are
distracting them I could do these puzzles all day ok Scott Lang has been
under house arrest after infinity war he took the deal so he could stick with his
daughter right and the threat of prison for quite a long time is hanging over
his head good incentive one of the best things about the script but anyway
because he used their technology the pins are on the run complicating their
efforts to find Janet Van Dyne in the quantum realm one of my favorite jokes
from the movie is that Paul Rudd said you guys just put quantum in front of
everything sometimes it feels like stuff that's just what you do they have not
done a great job explaining quite frankly the quantum realm but it's about
to get real important so fast-forward through the entire movie and we get to
the end credits scene I'm only giving away stuff in the end credits scene to
preserve some spoilers for those of you who you know want to wade carefully into
spoiler territory anyway basically the Pym said Scott Lang into the quantum
realm for let's just say a routine or what's supposed to be a routine
extraction ain't that always the way oh it's routine nothing Bad's gonna
happen oh wait we're in a movie and then there's an offhand warning from Hank Pym
saying oh make sure you stay away from some kind of I forget the exact wording
but time traps basically because if you get stuck in one of those we won't be
able to save you again it's an offhand remark but it's incredibly important not
just for Scott but for us so remember that then as
expect Scott heads into the quantum realm but while he's there not one not
two but all three pimps get dusted and so Scott line is stuck in the quantum
realm or is he of course he's not because here he is filming a scene with
an older Tony Stark and a younger Captain America is starting to put it
together there let's do it together let's break it down together now Mike
there's two end credits scenes and the last one it's all pretty much a
throwaway it's Scott Lang's abandoned house because he's not only stuck in the
quantum realm but the earth has been plunged into chaos and while the giant
ant wails away on his drum set my my actually my favorite thing the nicest
touch I felt was the emergency broadcast playing on the television showing that
the entire again the entire planet Earth has been plunged into chaos a little
reminiscent of the Captain Marvel and credit scene an infinity war you know
where that helicopter goes down and drive cars or crashing I like that a lot
too you know why I like this so much because there's hardly ever lasting
consequences in the MCU and they rarely extend beyond our hero's right or at
least we don't see it like you know what with the accords and you know like there
was a nice little PowerPoint presentation from secretary Ross but we
didn't really ever get to see that I mean like alfre woodard gave a nice
little speech right but I didn't get to see any of that show don't tell Marvel
show don't tell they're like these movies can only be so long in fact I
just saw rumor today that there's gonna be an infinity war
Thanos cut because they had to cut Thanos it's all origin story Marvel
you're hilarious but it's working for you so I liked that and I like seeing
finally a very changed world as the result of super heroics I think that
would be great and I hope that we get to see the repercussions of that although
since they're using time travel clearly probably no one will remember so that
means and then an Avengers 4 we'll get to see this new world at least briefly
and this is likely how it's gonna go down
so since only the pavements know how to get anyone in and out of the quantum
realm and they're also the only ones who even know that Scott's in the quantum
realm to begin with what's he gonna do he's gonna make for a time trap
he's got no choice which means Avengers 4 well
we start out with Scott Lang man out of time as he manages to escape the quantum
realm all like to find himself in the future how fortuitous the time traps
wouldn't be I mean I'd be like how do I know it's not just gonna put me a
different time within the quantum realm but I guess it shoots you out too you
know big you know into into reality and that and he can use this technology to
get larger oh it's got legs guess it's as good as good as mine neither one of
us is very good at science but BAM that explains the casting of an older
version of his daughter because he would go to his house first to check up on
them right BAM that explains this photo because once Scott shows up in the
future who is he going to turn to for help with science not his pal cap but
the other guy mr. Tony Stark and maybe the other science bro as well anyway
since Tony never met a crazy idea he didn't love and that's one of the main
reasons I love Tony when he finds out that you can travel through time via the
quantum realm well here's our field trip sorry spun mad homecoming town feel I
think field trip is a great name but I think that at least Tony and Scott as we
can see from the set photo will travel back in time to for some reason
the very first Avengers movie poetically bringing our heroes full circle it's
beautiful in its simplicity and we all know how much Kevin Feige likes to keep
it simple so what do I think of the end credits scene well I do like the way it
sets up Avengers 4 but I think that ant-man the wasp is such a small movie
that I don't think as many people are going to see the end credits scene is
perhaps the MCU would like I just I think I don't think it's something this
cool and setting up such a huge movie should have been a bigger movie I think
I mean I honestly think that this should have been the cliffhanger ending for the
actual film instead of an end credits scene the whole third act leading up to
it that would have been exciting and I wish
that the filmmakers here and Kevin Feige had thought bigger when it came to this
movie but this this is clearly tacked on as an afterthought filmed only recently
it has that you know not quite matching feel to it you know in terms of the
actors you're like you look a little different uh you've been off set for a
while and so I'm surprised that they weren't able to think about this in
advance to weave it into the actual story but hey anything that
name's Paul Rudd more screentime and I missed him in infinity war he was so
great for his brief moments in civil war and also something that pairs with my
favorite adventure Tony Stark well then overall I'm good right I can't
complain too much haha I am well yeah I'm gonna complain about this though I
am disappointed in Marvel's treatment of its female characters yet again I was
disappointed to see both wasps dusted I mean how long is it gonna take to get
the one female founding Avenger on the team cinematically it's ridiculous I
mean I've seen over and also that they were both sidelined right away right
while all three PIMs have to work the computer couldn't you easily made it
that two people are necessary for the extraction get a Scott Lang in there and
I would even I would be thrilled if Michelle Pfeiffer were shut to show up
in Avengers 4 as the wasp or I'd get her in there I think she would she would do
a fabulous job it's kind of proven in this movie when she's allowed to do
something but again foggy likes to keep it simple and one person out of time is
easy and familiar whereas two people out of time is unnecessarily complicated
story wise right which who wants to explore their version of the future etc
etc it's just too difficult Tom Hollis we've discussed does a mean Michael J
Fox impression he has said that I was his inspiration for Peter Parker and
spider-man homecoming but I also think the Paul Rudd could do a good Michael J
Fox I mean all three of those guys have that light high-pitched Angelus manic
energy so what do you think of the end credits scene do you like in his end
credits scene do you think maybe it should have been like the third act as I
said and what do you think of the fact that it's seeming more and more likely
that Avengers 4 will heavily feature time travel oh if Kevin Feige can keep
that simple I will be impressed time travel is notoriously complicated
although Back to the Future did kind of do it I think it's a great idea and I
think it's gonna be a lot of fun so share your thoughts down below and of
course as always you can check out some more videos right now
