** Kang gets his first moment of concern when Scott shows up at the head of the rebellion screaming in rage. This is what prompts him to personally enter the field of battle.

** Scott's final stand against an enraged Kang, who outstrips him in strength and skill even while injured. Scott gives his all, never once backing down and getting back up despite knowing he's no match for him. He even strikes Captain America's familiar boxing stance as if to say "I can do this all day". This of course, leads to the line from the trailer that gave everyone chills. Never mess with the little guy indeed.

** To further emphasize how monumental this is, let’s not forget that the Kang variant that the Ant Family fought in the Quantum Realm was there because he was too big a threat to all the other Kangs, who had to resort to exiling him, because he was too much for them to deal with, making his death a GodzillaThreshold for the Council, who decide that the Avengers are such a threat that they’re going to need ''all'' the Kangs to deal with them.

** Facing Daren Cross for the first time in ten years, Cassie is at first pretty nervous to see her attempted killer again. She spends most of the time running away from M.O.D.O.K. but once cornered, she quickly uses her Ace in the Hole, becoming a giant like her dad and beats up Darren.

*** There's one unique skill he has that sets him apart from all the other villains the Ant Family have faced; the ability to perceive and track both Ant-Man and Wasp even as they shrink and strike. Even villains like Ghost and Darren (who himself was a {{Sizeshifter}} as Yellowjacket), couldn't always lock onto them when they shifted to small size, especially when they worked together. Kang? He just casually swats them aside and even parries and dodges them with lethal precision, seeming to know what they'll do even before they resize themselves (and this is ''without'' his time-based tech). Say what you will about the Conqueror, but the man's perception is legendary.

** Cassie, Janet, and Hank gets their own moment of awesome by opening up a new portal mere seconds after the old portal closed, averting another repeat of Scott being trapped in the Quantum Realm once more (but now with Hope being stuck too). When you factor in how [[YearOutsideHourInside the Quantum Realm's time dilation works]], They wasted ''no'' time setting one up.

** The Conqueror has finally gained the final ingredient for his escape; the multiversal regulator from his ship. Just as he's readying his fortress and fleet for departure to the real world once again, the land quakes with the sound of earthquakes. Even Kang himself is alert. Then, out of the foggy brown hague of the Conqueror's city, out steps ''Giant-Man,'' the largest and angriest Scott's ever been. He rampages through the city like it's made of wet paper and endures every ounce of pain thrown his way just to get to Kang.

As a movie described as "Marvel meets Star Wars", it is the true prelude to the Multiversal Saga with plenty of movies and TV shows built up and connected to its events, how could this movie not be awesome?

** While being escorted by Kang's guards, Cassie, who was given two Pym Particle disc by her dad earlier, grows one of her captors and shrinks the other after getting back her suit gloves.
** She then formulates a plan to rescue Jentorra from prison, taking out several guards while shrinking and growing at the right time.

** When Kang raises his DeflectorShield around his fortress, Scott charges with the full force of a walking mountain and ''forces the forcefield open.'' Then, when he finally gets his hands on Kang, he ''ragdolls him across the streets'' and seems fully intent on ensuring he kills him as painfully as he can. Kang even seems to visibly struggle and even seems a tad fearful, possibly for the first time in his life. Unsettling? Yes, but Kang threatened his daughter. [[ItsPersonal Big. Mistake.]]

** In particular, Kang's status as a KnightOfCerebus. MCU villains have had a habit of being the butt of jokes, or at best, the StraightMan to a hero's quips, yes even Thanos played a straight man to a quippy hero once in a while. Not so with Kang. All the humor '''stops''' when he's on screen. Some people try to make jokes in his presence, and he just ''shuts it down''. Not in a meta-funny "ha, the joke got subverted" way, but in a dead serious "Kang is here, ''this is not the time for jokes''" way.

** The fact that the three leaders of the Council of Kangs readily admit that the people of Earth have not only done the impossible by defeating one of the Kangs, but that they're actually '''fearful''' of them is something rather spectacular in itself, because at the rate they're developing and progressing in their understanding of the Multiverse, they may even be able to overthrow the council and take the Multiverse for their own. This seems to be the first moment in all space-time that the council needed to take serious action. Just in case there was ''any'' doubt left that HumansAreSpecial.
