They also straight up killed Theodin in the end. Kylo...lead to the stupidest scene in Last Jedi and minorly inconvenienced the main characters occasionally. He DID Akbar in a blink and you'll miss it moment the movie doesn't even acknowledge I suppose.

      Man, the other day, thinking about this aspect of the Kang character Kylo Reb came to mind too! The thing is there is an explanation within their respective movies of why they lost, because they were either injured or couldn't use their biggest powers (Kang can't move through time in the Quantum Realm), but as an audience that doesn't matter at the end of the day because you made clear the character is "defeatable" in their introduction. Same goes with 2017 Justice League and Steppenwolf. They made him look like a loser in the flashback. Unlike him, Sauron, though defeated in the prologue of LotR, it's made clear it was out of total luck and without that luck the guy can't be stopped.
      Going back to Kang, they should've come up with something different as to how they defeat him. It should've been the protagonists trying their hardest to escape from him, making it look like a proper suicide mission. If you don't set that tone, then he's just a normal threat.

It would make sense to transition out of Kang to something more inline with Doom which would work better with the X-men reboot in the MCU along with Fantastic Four.

      You're absolutely right, because they never learn their lessons. They'll say something like "we heard everyone's complaints and so we've recast Kang as Marvel's first trans-supervillain which will be played by RuPaul". The issue is the people who run Disney/Marvel are as clueless as they come, and nothing will change for the better as long as the current leadership (like Kathleen Kennedy) are still in place.

      I really don't know why they are so terrified of recasting roles when it was so easy for them to pull off at the start of the MCU with Ed Norton and Terrence Howard. Worst case scenario you get someone in the role who isn't as good, best case scenario you get what actually happened with Bruce Banner and Rhodey continuing to have their story told in some great movies.

    Comparatively, look at Thanos' introduction: In the first minutes of Infinity War, he singlehandedly subdued and killed multiple demigods and proceeded to manhandle Hulk, who was believed to be the strongest Avenger in the MCU at the time.

If he can be convicted of assault, she should be convicted of theft. But _she_ wasn't even charged with anything! People focusing solely the "Hollywood" aspect of this story are missing the frighteningly dystopian judicial aspect of this case. And I'm saying that as someone who cares nothing for Majors.

And was found guilty of unintentional assault, which is ridiculous. You're trying your best to avoid confrontation with your partner who's chasing and attacking you. Giving someone a slight push to get away from them should not be considered assault and neither should placing someone in a vehicle. He ran away even if he caused a scratch behind her ear, she was chasing him. Meanwhile the guy had scratches on his face and arm and the driver himself says he believes he saw her attacking him.

    My thought is they’re basically going to pull a James Gunn and fire him now when people are angry about the abuse but decide to bring him back the next time they have a movie with Kang in it. They could use the downtime to add some new origin story movies to introduce us to the new characters they’re going to use for their big team up movie. It would actually be better if those characters didn’t directly confront Kang although they could still mention him as a man behind the man type person.
    But I also agree that if they wanted to make Kang their over-arching villain they needed him to win in his first confrontation with a hero. Like holy shit that’s storytelling 101, you need to have an arc villain establish themselves by defeating someone the audience sees as powerful. And if Kang gets his ass kicked by heroes working solo why would they need to team up against him?

    "Guilty of assault and harassment" by the media is so disingenuous because he wasn't convicted on domestic assault. He was acquitted on the most serious charges of the original four. He was convicted of "unintentional harm" which is nothing because it just means in the attempt to retrieve his phone, and her attacking him which she admitted, she got hurt.
    That's like a person getting an assault charge because a thief got their finger hurt trying to steal their purse or wallet on the street.
    The harassment conviction isn't even criminal it's a violation and doesn't stay on ones record. It was the result of him placing her back in the SUV while she was trying to attack him as he tried to remove himself and de-escalate the situation by running away

      @@Hedgehobbit What original texts? I hope you don't mean the Sept 2022 ones

      @budgiecat9039 The ones that Majors' lawyers initially released. Where she says "they saw the injuries on me and knew we had a fight."

    This segment contained way too much bloviating on ideas of narcissism. Majors’ was convicted of unintentionally being a little rough in retrieving his phone from a “thief” which resulted in a bruised finger. Despite seemingly choosing the best option of retreating he’ll ultimately be forced to endure the absurdity of community service.

      his texts were obvious manipulative narcisissm. yeah everything sounds bad when it's the prosecutor saying it, but he was convicted, and that's what the record will show. It's just the way things happen at the moment and guys just have to be super careful around crazy women when they go full mental because accusations are far easier to make than they are to fight successfully, almost impossible when there's physicality involved due to reverse sexism (the assumption is that a woman can't perpetrate physical violence upon a man because of a gendered steretotype of strength imbalance and DV statistics)

    The way Loki S02 ended: Kang is entirely undone. Could just ignore Kang with no more references!

    After what they did to Kang and butcher him, not sure I have faith in Dr Doom or Galactus.

    Where did we see him lose in Loki? I mean he might have at the very end, but the rest was exactly what he had planned out, and I’m guessing if they went forward with Kang even having Loki take over was part of his plan.

    Talking about Kang losing all the time is the Worf effect.

    You know how in trek next generation they kept getting bad guys to give Worf a slap to show they were powerful?
    Well if Kang tried that, Worf would have beaten him to death.

    If you watched the end of the Loki series, the "TVA and the "god of the time-loom turned into Yddrasil" are now responsible for keeping the nearly infinite Kangs at bay.

    just have the man that played the High Evolutionary, Chukwudi Iwuji, you can just say it's another variant and it wouldn't even be a problem wardrobe was similar enough and that dude gets more work win win.
