    Ant-Man and the Wasp & Captain Marvel Review | Forget The Critics Ep. 22

    Episode 22 – Ant-Man and the Wasp & Captain Marvel Review After the chaos of Infinity War, Libby continues her first-ever journey through the MCU with two movies that surprised us more than we expected. First, we break down Ant-Man and the Wasp, discussing why it's a huge improvement over the first Ant-Man, whether Ghost is one of Marvel's most underrated villains, why Hank Pym might secretly be the problem, and how the Quantum Realm sets up what's coming next. Then we dive into Captain Marvel, a movie that gets far more hate than we think it deserves. We talk about the Skrull twist, young Nick Fury, Goose the Flerken, Captain Marvel's powers, and whether the criticism surrounding the film is actually justified. Topics include: Is Ant-Man and the Wasp underrated?Why Ghost works as a villainHank Pym's questionable decisionsThe Quantum Realm and Endgame setupWhy Captain Marvel surprised usThe Skrull and Kree twistYoung Nick Fury & CoulsonGoose the FlerkenMCU Easter Eggs and hidden detailsOur final ratingsWill these movies change Libby's MCU rankings before Avengers: Endgame? 🎙️ Forget The Critics — where we defend what everyone hates and roast what everyone loves.
