Good for them. Life is too short to enable abusers.

Time to recast and move on. Kang is a comic book space wizard. We can suspend our disbelief that much further. Maybe choose a much older actor and let the age difference be part of the explanation.

I've said it a few times, but I feel like they could have Dr. Doom come in to kill Kang pretty easily. It'd set up a new big bad, introduce the Fox Verse, and even set him up as the leader of any potential Battleworld in the future.

Kang even before the allegations hasn't been received all that well. A soft-reset with Doom might make people excited again. Imo all mystique of the character was already ruined in the Multiverse of Madness post-credits. A FoxVerse Vs MCU battle movie would touch on Endgame levels of hype.

He who Remains was fantastic, so fun to watch. Kang in Ant-Man was shit but so was all of that movie.

He was well received but he's a cunt so bye.

[–] BeardedSingleMalt@kbin.social 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

One thing I didn't like too well about the whole Kang thing is He Who Remains said that he discovered multiversal travel in the 32nd century and that resulted in the war. This made it seem like traveling the Multiverse was a near impossibility until he mastered it in the far future.

Then as Phase 4 continued, and turns out it's something kinda easy which became the plot for a few movies.

[–] deft@ttrpg.network 8 points 10 months ago

I think you have to view it as one timeline.

The timeline reached the 32nd century where the tech was found. Causing a basically soft reset for the timeline where going back in time technically happens after the 32nd century discovery. If the timeline could be drawn that would be where it goes cattywampus

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Literally everything that happened up until that point has been him tinkering with the timeline. Its possible in his native timeline none of that happened before he was born.

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think he was pretty well considered up until Quantumania.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah quantumania killed all hype for kane for me. How can they expect him to be a multiversal threat but he gets beat by ants!? That film needed to be a bit of a bad ending. Everyone gets out so good there. But kang did not lose the fight, they just escaped. That is how it should've went down to big him up further.

Couple things;

1: Kang was trapped in the quantum realm with nothing. The thing that makes Kang personally dangerous is his technology. This was his "built an iron man suit in a cave" movie.

2: the ants had created a type-2 civilization and, were they hostile to earth, would literally be an avengers level threat on their own.

It took 3 Ant-People, a futuristic army of cyborg ants that can build Dyson spheres, the betrayal of a war machine Kang built, and no small amount of luck (and capitalization on Kang's arrogance) to win.

I don't much care if you like the movie - we all have our own preferences - but he was definitely not just a throwaway villain in it. I'm a big Kang fan and they definitely did Kang justice, even if people didn't like the movie itself.

Plus his whole purpose in the overarching story was to lead into the eventual collapse of timelines, also mentioned in Multiverse of Madness, which is why Kang does what he does.
