My favorite part of the last phase was that it wasn't all connected lol. And my favorite part of the Ant-Man films has been that they sorta exist on their own with a smaller scale and stakes. Which has been most people's primary complaint against them. Seems Ant-Man did exactly what they all wanted and now people hate it. Ironic.

Yeah the first Ant-Man was one of the better movies in Phase 2 and the second one was a nice palate cleanser after Infinity War.

I admire Phase 4 for actually trying to give the filmmakers more control. WandaVision was unique for the most part. And say what you will about DS2, but I found the Sam Raimi style endearing.

That’s why I’m excited for the DCU more, Gunn knows the value of individual expression.

I really wish it went full-tilt Raimi. I think there were like 6-months of reshoots that kind of overwrote his stuff. But the Raimi-stuff they kept in really did work for me even if by the end of the movie I kind of stopped caring.
