Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is much more serious compared to earlier entries in the series. The movie goes for a thoughtful approach since Kang the Conquerer’s nefarious intentions have to do with the multiverse. As a result, the villain, Scott Lang, and the rest of the characters go through arcs that change them. A lot of their development is reflected through dialogue, which makes the film’s quotes worth looking into.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania also builds tension through foreboding words, letting viewers know that something big is coming up. While there are many special effects and action sequences that entertain, it’s the quotes that convey the characters and the film’s depth. Taking a deeper look into their words allows fans to appreciate the storytelling better. So, to that end, here are the 10 best quotes in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
“Look Out For The Little Guy.”
Scott uses these words as the title of his autobiography. While it might sound too tongue-in-cheek, Scott’s reading of the book provides good context. He narrates that he was always underestimated by everybody before his success and that it made him question himself. But Scott now had the clarity that his struggles brought him the wisdom he possessed in the present.
This quote also set up Scott’s own lesson in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania to keep looking out for the people. He’d put his book tour above his heroic activities, but Scott’s experience in the Quantum Realm revitalized his perspective. The character’s appeal has always been his everyman personality, and we’re encouraged to root for him because he’s relatable to the “little guy” in everyone.
“He Will Burn The World To Find You.”
Most of Jentorra’s words were about warning the protagonists of Kang’s threat. This quote is part of her first appearance, where she lets Scott and Cassie know that Kang is after them. Since the two are part of the main universe, Jentorra correctly surmises that Kang will stop at nothing to get to them in order to escape, too.
The quote is among the first to build up a sense of fear among viewers for what Kang has in store. The villain is heavily teased in the movie before he actually appears – Jentorra’s quote does its job of making Kang seem foreboding. It also goes to show that Jentorra was well aware of Kang’s nature, which is why she was among the primary freedom fighters.
“Does Your Family Even Know Who You Are?”
Krylar is only featured in one scene in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but asks questions that viewers also have. This quote is uttered exactly when fans will be questioning what Janet’s past really is. It happens after Krylar reveals Janet’s activities in the Quantum Realm before her rescue, including her association with Kang.
Janet’s reappearance at the end of the previous film made it seem as if she was trapped in the Quantum Realm alone. But the meeting with Krylar shows that she’s gone through several ill-fated adventures during her 30-year entrapment. Krylar’s question is a hard-hitting one since audiences are inclined to wonder how many secrets Janet is hiding.
“I Literally Saved The World. You’re Welcome For You All Not Being Dust.”
Scott didn’t appear half as obnoxious as the characters made him out to be. At the beginning of the film Cassie and the others keep harping on Scott for not engaging in their activism. It gets to the point where she accuses him of not being a hero anymore, and Scott responds with this quote.
Although his friends and family aren’t convinced, he actually makes a valid point. While the others were dust or helpless as Cassie was, Scott returned from the Quantum Realm and came up with the plan to restore everyone. He deserved the success he was enjoying because he nearly gave his life to save everyone else’s.
