Now he has the chance to regain himself in all his power-in exchange for finishing the one heist he never quite managed. In his last exploit, he managed the supreme feat of hiding the truth about himself from the one person in the solar system hardest to hide from: himself. His origins are shrouded in mystery, but his deeds are known throughout the Heterarchy, from breaking into the vast Zeusbrains of the Inner System to stealing rare Earth antiques from the aristocrats of Mars. Indeed, in his many lives, the entity called Jean le Flambeur has been a thief, a confidence artist, a posthuman mind-burglar, and more. Meanwhile, investigator Isadore Beautrelet, called in to investigate the murder of a chocolatier, finds himself on the trail of an archcriminal, a man named le Flambeur. Rescued by the mysterious Mieli and her flirtatious spacecraft, Jean is taken to the Oubliette, the Moving City of Mars, where time is a currency, memories are treasures, and a moon-turned-singularity lights the night. Jean le Flambeur gets up in the morning and has to kill himself before his other self can kill him first. So I’m going to let the back of the book describe it for you. I just know I’ll miss something, or not do it justice. To try and describe the book would leave me feeling inadequate and stupid. I don’t think I understood the whole thing. It seems like Marvel has been in this post-Endgame slump that they haven't been able to break out of.THE QUANTUM THIEF ( Amazon), by Hannu Rajaniemi, is a Hard SF book packed with ideas, twists and turns. I wouldn't call this a bad movie, but they didn't knock it out of the park, by any means. His story, and his motivations seem the most developed. Jonathan Majors (Kang) does all the heavy lifting in this movie. Also, I thought I dozed off, as this movie seemed to jump from a long first act, to the third act. Hope had some moments, but very little dialogue. Usually they keep things open for other Marvel movies, but this story felt very tacked on for the sake of this movie. Her backstory was kept quiet because they hadn't thought of it yet. Like the fact that they were harvesting quantum energy from the quantum realm in the post credits of the last movie, yet Janet didn't seem concerned, even though she is very worried about the quantum realm, which they show in the trailer, so it's not something you'd only gather from watching the movie. However if you look a little deeper, a lot of things stand out. It has some good moments, and cool visuals. Unfortunately this isn't the hit movie that changes things for Ant-Man or Marvel.
I really wanted for this Ant-Man to do well, as the other 2 were just okay, and didn't do well in the box office either.
I think he's naturally charming and really funny.
