My girls and I finally got around to watching Quantumania on Disney+ over the long weekend. I enjoyed it as well. I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as lots of people have been saying. I also agree that it is a movie based on poor communication.
That being said, I don't agree that Kang would have been able to win over Janet. She saw into his mind. His interest in ending the inter-Kang conflict was not altruistic. He wanted to be "He Who Remains" no matter the cost.
What I do want to say is: the further we delve into this MCU multiverse, the more I am left wondering what the point of Loki was. It made it seem like that was the starting point where the multiverse was freed ... yes, I get it that once the sacred timeline came unbound, it did so at all points in time and therefore the multiverse has always existed ... but the Ancient One sent Dr Strange on a quick tour through the multiverse before Sylvie killed He Who Remains.
Did Janet spend 30 years alone in the quantum realm up until the sacred timeline broke, changing her past so that she spent it with Kang, Bill Murray, etc? Or had she always spent it with them regardless of the current state of the timeline?
The events of season 1 of Loki either made a difference or they didn't, and right now I can't figure out which it is. Quantumania didn't really help on that front.
As an aside, it also felt like another torch-passing movie, especially with all the banter between Scott and his daughter about how he's been resting on his laurels and not wanting to be an active Avenger anymore while she is very much an activist, getting herself thrown in jail for helping people and so on.
Clint has passed the Hawkeye torch to Kate.
Natasha sort of passed the Black Widow torch to Yelena.
Steve passed the Captain America torch to Sam, who took a while to accept it.
Bruce has potentially passed the Hulk torch to both his cousin and his son.
Dr Strange is set to pass the torch to his new protégé, America.
Thor has literally passed Stormbreaker on to Love.
Some of the guardians have passed on their torches.
And so on ...
