MCU Fans Agree That MODOK Is The Only Thing Ant-Man 3 Got Right

While "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" may primarily feature Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror as the villain, the movie also features a secondary antagonist in MODOK, an evil supergenius whose floating body is at least 90 percent made-up of his enormous head. MODOK is a storied Marvel character, but his MCU iteration differs in some major ways. Most importantly, the character is actually a mutilated form of Corey Stoll's villainous Yellowjacket from the original "Ant-Man."

Despite having myriad problems with the third "Ant-Man" film, fans mostly came away positive on the fresh portrayal of MODOK. "For a character as inherently goofy as MODOK, that was about as good as it could've been for a big-screen live-action adaptation," u/FerricNitrate commented. Others shared similar sentiments, noting that MODOK's usage as a source of comedic relief worked when other parts of the film didn't. "Felt eerie being in a marvel movie where barely a single joke landed with the audience," u/ryantyrant commented. "Only MODOK got a few chuckles."

MODOK's role in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" may have been well-received, but for some fans, this bright spot contrasted with the poorer elements of the film and highlighted what seems to be a troubling new problem for the MCU. "Marvel has now gone a full inverted circle from having meh villains in good movies to good villains in meh movies," u/SynthwaveSax wrote.
