      I mean you can't have the big bad defeated by Ant-Man in Kang's debut film. Doesn't feel like conquering to me.
      Imo, I liked him. He was likeable and when he switches over and is revealed to be evil it's unsettling how easily he switches demeanors.
      He's a good villian to me. He has depth, charm, and doesn't feel like cut and paste bad.

    This was a good video but I disagree about Kang and the He Who Remains angle. The fact HWR wasn’t worried about the Avengers was because he was more scared of his variants was the entire point. The idea of him being barely concerned about an Avengers who already beat Thanos was the point.
    And sure while AntMan was a bad look for Kang, that would have been easily remedied by having him reappear in a post credit somewhere to reinforce the idea that this character is basically a Ex Machina with his ability to time travel and always come back, which would have set the stage for okay, like how do you possibly beat a Ex Machine. That is what Kang was supposed to be. And I really think the trial only made Majors star power even bigger. But with all that said, RDJ as Doom is clearly a bigger Box Office draw but more importantly it also means the Russos are back.
    Thanos was amazing because of the Russos. They made sure he never lost a single fight, even in Endgame he was winning and it took the entire Infinity Gauntlet the same power that wiped out half the universe to beat him.

    • @otisMassudih
      @otisMassudih 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      Agreed, I also think the best part about Kang would have been the introduction of a stronger variant. The whole concept of Kang was amazing like we don't know what we'll get he's just a warrior afraid of his variants and just trying so hard to go home (a&w: quantumania) or an all powerful but disinterested time keeper (Loki s1).. he was an amazing character and they could have introduced a version of him with Thanos level determination and charisma at any time in the multiverse saga and I swear as a fan I would have been mind blown seeing that on screen. Like we've already seen him multiple times already and we thought we knew him well enough but this new version would be a surprising twist so powerful antman would be nothing to him

I felt he had the temper & range but he fell hard. Also doesn't that mean with how the Multiverse works he isn't even a threat anymore?

    If they wanted another easy remedy to fix Kang would have been to do what they may very were possibly do with Doom, and have him seize Loki throne at the end of time, grab the branches of time, and collide them together wiping out thousands and thousands of universe in one swoop causing incursions and having the final few universes fight for their survival to be the only one remaining.

    For me, I was just never excited about Kang. NOTHING about him made me afraid of his upcoming villain arch, whereas the threat of Thanos was IMMINENT. Kang kept telling me that I should be afraid, but like you said, the guy just talked WAY too much. And the eccentric variant we saw in the season 1 finale of _Loki_ certainly didn't help matters. I was more afraid of Loki _himself_ in that first _Avengers_ film than the thought of Kang.
    I didn't even watch the 3rd _Antman_ film because.... I just didn't care. And from what I hear I didn't miss much.

    • @WungierPL
      @WungierPL หลายเดือนก่อน

      I get where you're coming from, but Kang’s threat is more psychological and cerebral compared to Thanos. While Thanos was an immediate physical danger, Kang’s menace lies in his manipulation of time and reality. His "talking too much" isn't just filler - it's part of his strategy to mentally overpower his enemies. Jonathan Majors brings depth to the role, showing how unpredictable and multi-layered Kang can be. Plus, Kang’s arc is still building. Thanos took years to become truly terrifying; we’re just starting to see Kang’s full potential unfold. Different villains, different kinds of fear.

    Let's give credit to Kang and Jonathan Majors because I blame the writers for this. If they had portrayed his character in a way similar to the cartoons, he could have become the next major villain. They should bring him back and introduce a more recurring villain. Kang in the comics shouldn't been put to live action unless they were going to place him in a Netflix series. Kang is cool because he has advanced knowledge beyond imagined.

    The reason Kang failed and Thanos didn't was because Thanos was not the main villain until Infinity War and wasn't defeated until Endgame.

    what make Kang fail: his lack of (more) traditional Superpowers

  • @3am5am
    @3am5am 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    How I think Kang would have worked:
    1. Give him purpose. As you said, he had no mission aside from conquering, and no motivation was given. Villains work because they a) present a view antithetical to the hero, and b) can reach those views logically. Thanos and his odyssey were flawed, but everyone understood why he did what he did. Doc Ock in SM2 was obsessed, but we all understood why. Nobody understands Kang or why his mission exists. At this point it’s evil for the sake of evil.
    I think his mission should have been to stop incursions or other multiversal wars by complete annihilation of every other universe. (I know it’s implied, but it was very forgettable) His motivation could be that he tried to save his own, but failed because of external threats. Now his only solution is conquering through brute force to ensure nobody else rises to that power, and destroy every other universe that could be a threat to him. A similar beat to Thanos, but a mark of a good villain is them trying to succeed, failing, and resorting to evil to accomplish it (ie. Darth Vader, Magneto, the Punisher, etc)
    2. Again, like you said, he wasn’t a threat since he was killed off several times. It’s accurate to the comics, but the terror of seeing him come back over and over again doesn’t translate that easily to the big screen - there are literal years between some movies, and with scheduling conflicts, the hype dies out between one Kang dying and another arriving.
    I think to really up the ante, he should have died in Quantumania, but show back up 10 seconds later without a scratch on him - declaring that he is a different version, but on the same mission - and kill off either Scott or the Wasp. Here, we’ve established that he’s a) not invulnerable, b) he’s lethal, and c) his true power lies in the heroes (or audience) dreading his inevitable return.

  • @maxjones9112

    Thanos was great but would’ve been a lot better if he was manipulating the events of films. He caused Avengers 1 and showed up at the end ragnarok and that’s it. It would’ve been cool if he played a bigger role in some phase 3 movies.
    I saw that they were trying to do that a bit with Kang but current mcu writers can’t write for shit and made kang an extremely generic villain of the week. What made thanos interesting is that he wasn’t completely evil and was trying to create a more peaceful world by paying with the high price of people’s lives but ditched the violent option of murdering people and opted to using the stones to give people a painless death. He’s psychotic but you can see where he’s coming from. The one who remains was kind of interesting too cuz he offered a hard choice to Loki, dangerous free will or peace at the cost of suppression. Kang should’ve offered a similar choice, he protects the universe from his other variants in exchange for control and the ability to protect the main universe however he wants to, even if it means destroying other timelines. He could’ve used the snap and claim it was consequences of his lack of protection to pressure the avengers into accepting his offer. Instead the moronic writers wrote him as Saturday cartoon villain screaming “I’m kang” and saying lines like “I’m going to win.” He wants to destroy the multiverse simply because he can. It also doesn’t help that in his first appearance as the main villain, he gets beaten by ants and ant-man because good guys always have to win.

    Comics and Avengers EMH Kang was a big threat, there is reason he is among the top Marvel villains. Kang isn't really an Ant-Man villain, he fights the Avengers and Fantastic Four and ties into the Mutants like Apocalypse. Making him the Ant-Man 3 villain wasn't really needed. Unfortunately his rogues gallery is small, no pun intended many Ant-Man villains were one offs or were used in different MCU projects or were too obscure. Living Laser, Egghead (if he hadn't been taken out in Ant-Man 2), Atlas, Crimson Cowl who was the daughter of Justin Hammer in the comics. In fact that would be an interesting twist Justin Hammers daughter was the benefactor working under her father to get that tech for something evil. Sounds generic but it would tie nicely into Armor Wars.

    Thanos is literally one of the best film villains as well. I’ve seen him in many rankings of top ten best film villains.
    Kang didn’t work that well because for a threat seemingly bigger than Thanos, he pretty much lost every time. He didn’t even feel like an Avengers-level villain. And Marvel just decided to ditch the character because Majors got in trouble and when they could have at least recast him so that they could stuck with developing their original plan, they decided to become extremely desperate and bring in RDJ as Doom. Don’t get me wrong, RDJ is my favorite actor and Dr Doom is a fantastic, I mean phenomenal villain. But the reason why another part of me feels skeptical about this is because he’s going to be introduced so late and I feel like Marvel has become desperate. I mean, Thanos was introduced in a post credits scene in Avengers 1, then debuted in IW and Endgame. Dr Doom is being introduced in F4: first steps and is debuting in Doomsday and Secret Wars, which the former is one year apart and the latter is two years apart. That concerns me because phase five so far had no indication of Doctor Doom whatsoever. Thanos had over ten years of buildup and had deep emotional impact to the viewer. Dr Doom, I just hope they do the character justice, considering the 2005-2007 Doom and the 2015 Doom portrayals were lackluster.

    And Kang wasn't even evil. He wanted to conquer Earth so he could protect it with his futuristic weaponry, but he did it all to save his wife

That way we get to see Kang in action fighting against an Avenger, but not making it look utterly pathetic in the process. I think we did need Kang in action right away. Thanos not doing really anything till Infinity War worked since he kinda just popped in the Avengers and they were setting up the stones and all that, if they did the Multiverse Saga with no Kang until Avengers 5 that'd just be boring. Of course the way they did it didn't work, but it was an attempt I guess.
