Writers from Rick & Morty were hired to pen Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania, and... well, it felt like a Rick & Morty episode. I kept thinking that if I saw some of the ideas and concepts on the Adult Swim cartoon, I probably would have enjoyed them a lot more. In the movie, something didn't quite gel for me and it all came off a bit goofy and forgettable. The talented cast that was assembled for the film deserved better.

ok, i'm a. bit confused. Adam was shrunk and loaded into a microverse where Hank was.
Hank, minus a jet pack, is traveling in a microverse. Hank will be able to enlarge Adam when he needs to. Is there a murder mystery off camera also??
Alright Bob and Cary....take it away!
The only time I ever heard of Rick and Morty was on that Pringles commercial where almost everybody turned out to be a potato-chip-chomping robot. Talk about your mixed blessings!
As for why Hank Pym is traveling unaided through the microverse, thereby at the mercy of some strange magnetic mineral that doesn't seem limited to attracting ferrous metals? Well, given that this is evidently occurring during the Early Silver Age, I will hazard the following guesses.
Remember the classic FF issue, where Dr. Doom used some kind of brainwashing ray to make every other super-villain in NYC crash Reed and Sue's wedding? The Red Ghost and his Super Apes were among the party crashers. Only they got teleported to another dimension by Dr. Strange! To my knowledge, however, it has never been canonically revealed how they got back to Earth.
Well, what if (to coin a phrase) that had been accomplished by the Red Ghost becoming intangible enough to hide himself inside the Gorilla? With the Gorilla and the Orangutan clinging to each other while the metamorphic Baboon (technically, a cynocephalid monkey) turned into some kind of tent-like sheet.
In this admittedly weird cocoon, they drifted on. Micro-particles of meteoric iron adhering to it as a result of the Orangutan's bio-magnetism. And, eventually, even attracting the magnetic field that Hank Pym uses to suspend his Pym-particles inside that gaseous compound he uses for shrinking and re-enlargement!*
As to why Pym had shrunken smaller-than-insect size to begin with? Maybe his instruments detected the strange magnetic emissions and he thought it might be another interdimensional intruder like that acidic green amoeba who killed Janet Van Dyne's father. Only trouble is, the interdimensional breach was located in a certain jungle temple. One built by an ancient civilization only one archaeologist seemed to know anything about.
Enter Stephen Strange's brother.
The rest of the conjecture I leave up to the equally imaginative Mr. Greenwade.
*And whose formula is still a carefully guarded secret.
Great combo Ross! I still love comic book pseudo-science. As long as it follows some kind of rules. What was Strange firing at? Maybe the mineral is just trying to get back home.
Well, as I've said before, the only major fail for me in Quantumania was MODOK. There were some minor-to-moderate missteps and missed opportunities, but overall I found it enjoyable. (Maybe that's partly because I've never watched Rick & Morty.)
An interesting note is that Marvel is not permitted to reference the Microverse since they lost the Micronauts license (Hasbro owns the Trademark rights to the word "Microverse"), which is why they've been calling it the Quantum Realm.
There even was a reference to that issue on Legends of Tomorrow. If I recall correctly, it was in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" finale, after Ray Palmer had infused a nonstop shrinking on the Anti-Monitor... which (with apologies for spoilers here) was also Kang's eventual fate in Quantumania. That might call for a big, live-action crossover event where Ray (Brandon Routh) and Scott (Paul Rudd) team up as Kang (Jonathan Majors) and the Anti-Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) seek their revenge.
I know that Rick & Morty were based on Doc & Marty from "Back to the Future" (probably my favorite movie trilogy), but I watched ten minutes of it once and I couldn't get past the (IMHO) awful animation and voices.
Any chance of Jaime Reyes (aka El Escarabajo Azul) teaming up with Gabriel Reyes (alias The Reaper) against Darth Revan or Noob Saibot?
"The writers of Rick & Morty" is not an endorcement, it is a warning that this is something to AVOID!! Now I am not surprised that it bombed in the theater. I will wait for free streaming, it is not even worth paying for knowing who wrote it.
The writers for "Rick and Morty" would (arguably) be more worthy of writing an animated crossover where Spider-man '67 teamed up with Jonny Quest to take on a next-generation model of the arachnoid robot originally invented by Dr. Zin for stealing the secrets of Dr. Quest's Para-power Gun (basically, a weaponized EMP generator).
If you did such a team-up, Ross, I would hope you'd use the Spidey image from X-MEN v.1/#35. ;-D
