Okay, so, I already mentioned how I disliked Kang's handling, but it *really* sucked. Kang gets set up as this super powerful, mutliverse killing, Avenger-eating villain who finally gets his suit back and sets up his empire and then just...stops being awesome so the heroes can win? Like??? No outsmarting him, no de-powering him so they can take him out, full-suit Kang (who's supposed to have beaten multiple sets of Avengers, let alone one who's on his own with just the Wasp and his daughter for back-up) just stops using his de-atomizing ray on them because??? "Oh, well their suits blah blah blah" So in all his years of beating Avengers he's never figured out how to get around that? He's never found a weak point to exploit? And then in the final fight, he just "conveniently" decides to try to smash Scott's face into his multiverse engine.

And then when Scott sticks the engine, it conveniently doesn't explode until Ant-Man and Wasp can stuff Kang in for his death, but when Janet does it, it waits just long enough for her to dramatically jump away from the explosion? I was super disappointed by that ending. Like, at least put a little more effort into it. And Kang can freaking float. There's no reason he should've stayed on the ground to let himself get run over by all the ants. Go float and rain aerial death down upon them. Exile Kang dying "had" to happen for multi-movie plot reasons? I guess? But it would've been way cooler to actually let him win. And with the information we're given in that movie, there's no reason he shouldn't have. Loki Kang's death made sense because he was old and exhausted. He didn't want to keep fighting against the intruding versions of himself. But exile Kang? His fight was far from over, and he had every intention of making it out. None of the pre-story nerfs explained why he should have lost, because he got all his powers back, and nothing happened that even hinted at a possible exploitable weakness. It's just "oh, the other Kangs beat this particular Kang so he's not 'invincible,' so with strong willpower and the power of friendship maybe we can beat him, too." Really hope we get some answers to this at some point.

One minor nitpick I had was when Cassie was breaking everyone out, she didn't smash the guard's head against the panel again. Like, why does buff Amazon warrior know the passcode? The guards are faceless goons who might not even be real beings, so just use the slapstick comedy.

There were times the scale didn't make sense, in that Ant-Man changed his size and I couldn't tell if he got bigger or smaller. It's not a huge deal, but it was enough to make me question which way he went when the movie wanted me to focus on what was actually happening.
