MODOK was reimagined from a comic book villain so repulsive, full of darkness and humor into more of a comedic relief character in Quantumania. Using Darren Cross's, aka Yellowjacket's backstory for MODOK was imaginative but ultimately weak for the character as his reasons for doing such horrible things and even his redemption are fairly simplistic. Fans would have hoped for a darker, more calculating villain, but the movie preferred gags to take MODOK's potential as a technological genius more seriously.
