You almost certainly did, but not from watching that movie or anything else in the MCU.
That’s partially the fault of Quantumania itself.
And a good guy whose defining trait is that he loves his daughter.
So he’s not the issue.
The rest of the blame goes to the franchise itself.
The old franchise big bad, Thanos, was pretty easy to understand.
It was your standard superhero stakes, but on the largest possible scale.
Thanos was just a space alien who was really, really strong.
On Loki, we met Kang’s precursor, He Who Remains–formerly Nathaniel Richards.
He was a benevolent dictator of the multiverse, essentially.
But this time a bad one, Kang the Conqueror, was the winner.
But they didn’t.
All the other details and contexts are minor and unimportant.
That’s how the entire MCU has been since the last Ant-Man movie.
All that matters is the most base personal conflicts, and there has been no overarching story at all.
But they would have needed other movies or shows to get in on the expository fun.
How can we even start to guess at how they’re planning to handle this from here?
