“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” a dilemma for Marvelians

Marvel fans are the ones eating coconuts about whether the new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will measure up, Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumanianot only before the previous ones but also before their precedents ant man (2015) and The ant man and the wasp (2018). The data is stubborn and in four days it collected 360 million on the global screen, which relativizes the doubt. It once again revives the age-old debate between critics who lash out at the third installment of a shrink-able superhero and audiences who, apparently at the box office, seem to care little what moviegoers are watching. delve into other people’s problems think. into the show.

That’s what it’s all about, especially with SL founded by Disney and Marvel Studios, who have some very juicy material at their disposal to extract rooms from millions of devoted miracles. Even more so when covid threatened to close cinemas, threatening to reduce audiovisual fiction to streaming. Well, it will be if it isn’t and the critic will be damned.

It really is. By tradition and because dealing with criticism in the middle of the last century became a transcendent profession (until the arrival of Cahiers and his theory of the author, part of those who gave their opinion about the films were either charlatans or sold to the highest bidder), the truth is that everything there is like in the Lord’s vineyard. From those who intend to give lessons from their seats to those who find fertile ground for releasing their traumas, neuroses, phobias and philias.

The public should be the addressee, but it does what it wants out of its sovereignty and rushes to see works that critics warn are poisonous. The third adventure of Scott Lang and his whole gang walking through the Quantum Realm has left your server cold. I get lost among so much simplicity varnished with transcendence, filial love, solidarity with the oppressed and blah-blah-blah. Now it gives a show, it lasts barely two hours (without the credits…), and the image and sound effects remain adjustable. Hello, enjoy.
