I like that idea.
I'd have to see the movie again (and I don't wanna!) but MODOK first showed up just mowing people down mercilessly. Was he Kang's right hand man? I thought he was quashing dissent like a killing machine. Scary to me is how comfortable or easily one can just takes the lives of people and move on. I never would have thought in a million years MODOK might be scary because of how silly an entity MODOK is. Then I saw his face...
MODOK as the main villain could have been cool. It's impressive how plausibly a creature like him exists in the subatomic world. The fact it was Darren was too much though. The Doctor Who team could probably put together delightfully ugly MODOK too. That's a team James Gunn should confab with.
MODOK needed to be scary in other scenes besides his entrance and he failed to accomplish that. MODOK can be scary if done right but he wasn't in that movie. It’s not possible to make that character scary. He was stupid looking in the comics. Ant-Man 3 isn’t very good, though not very bad either. I think it has a simple “Saturday morning” charm to it. To me it seems to suffer from Covid rules filming where the characters are not on a stage together, but being filmed alone using “coat hangers,” then CGI’d it all together. There were a lot of scenes of actors just talking. One thing we have lost in this nation is our appreciation of failure. |

Whether the character can be scary or not they couldn't accomplish that in the movie. It became a stupid joke. |

For a minute I thought I was witnessing a first, then it turned out to be not a first. You called the modern day Humpty Dumpty "scary" what did you expect? You can't not laugh at that comment you can only maybe giggle instead. |

That they tried to make and Ant-Man movie into some serious epic was a mistake to begin with. This should have gone full on 1980 Flash Gordon with the over the top camp. |

How about that. |

I hope it's for MODOK's face. He was actually scary for a second they way he swooped down and started mowing people down. Then it's a stretch-faced Darren Cross all of a sudden? Get the f--- outta here. Why would they make him MODOK and why would they do that to his face? Evil. I think in hindsight MODOK should have been the main villain. They could have Kang kind of pulling the strings in the background. I hated his appearance too. That’s a character design that is never gonna look normal in live-action, so I wish they made him look as ugly as possible. This is a character when you need a James Gunn instead of a Peyton Reed. Precisely. |

Let's be honest here guys The Flash was robbed from getting the nominations for the razzies.
Easily the worst film of year, probably the worse comic book movie ever made.
I almost broke sobriety over how bad that film was.

I almost broke sobriety over how bad that film was. It is objectively the worst. I don’t really like the idea of The Razzies because it’s kind of mean spirited. But I would’ve picked Flash over Shazam as the DC nominee. And to think the Flash director is doing the next Batman?! Gah! 😩 |

Ackbar Von Trapp is LOLing at this. |

I actually didn't mind Awkwafina in Shang-Chi that much. Now I'm thinking about it, I probably liked her better than Ned or the Warriors Three. |

You liked a Chinese midget with smoker's voice over three warriors? |
