Kang the Conqueror is looking to be the new big bad of Loki, Ant-Man, and The Avengers as whole. Too bad he's a terrible villain...

I can't believe I have to clarify this, but this is not meant to be an objective analysis of the character, just my personal opinion.
If you like Kang, neat. There's nothing wrong with that. I also liked him when all I read were a couple of stories. After reading though a metric fuck ton of them, I found the character completely incomprehensible and not my cup of tea.
Hopefully the MCU will streamline the character and make him more enjoyable.
I like him
From Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes
Definitely MCU version is more enjoyable
Yeah, your lie is getting caught because you're facing a lot of backlash now and that's why you have to clarify this.
If it's your opinion, then of course you could have mentioned that in the title and thumbnail. Making some comment doesn't change the interpretation in the video. Probably 80% of the viewers won't even read the comment.
But No, CZcamsrs like you will find any way to milk content. Doesn't matter if the info is genuine (in most cases, it isn't).
Anything for views, eh.
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 why you so sour? Its not like its clickbait. I guarantee this aint your first time on the internet so what gives.
@@pizzaparkerhotdogmaguire3225 or maybe he just didn’t expect the type of negative reaction he received and wanted to better clarify to the viewers what he meant. Go be mad for no reason so where else
Oof man. Bet you're pretty pissed with the finale then eh?
Hope not though, Jonathan Majors' performance was amazing and I am very, VERY excited to see how they do Kang in the MCU as compared to the innumerable ways he's been done in the comics/other media.
You might say he’s the worst, but all of us Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes fans have seen Kang at his best. Hopefully Ant-Man 3 borrows a lot from that characterization.
Definitely. Kang was the best villain in EMH by a long way.
Yes exactly
My guess is that Kang will probably get a full on retooling in the MCU. In all likelihood, he’ll become as big of a villain as Thanos, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Marvel simplifies his origins and his complicated history. Given it’s importance in the current Loki show, I wouldn’t be surprised if his other versions (such as Iron Lad) are variants of him.
Edit: the reason is say this is because marvel usually updates characters from their comic book counterparts. Just look at Thanos.
Bro i love that show
I’m rewatching it rn and it’s fantastic
I’m starting to see why you hate his guts so much…He’s just as complicated as Hawkman and Hawkgirl, but does terrible things more.
Hawkgirl and Hawkman is a mess. Even in the DCAU it is. Well I guess Hawkman and hawkgirl arent really a romance in the dcau because she got with john stewart. But who knows
Watch Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. You will like that version of Kang as a good villain.
@@spencersholden yeah he was good in that. Heck he was even ok in the lego game that came out 3 years ago
like the profile pic
And the Arrowverse versions were killed off basically as soon as they first appeared in the crossover that was the backdoor pilot for Legends of Tomorrow and they _never_ came back.
I thought Kang was great in "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" he is like my favorite villian in the show
That’s because they used him sparingly and wrote him really well. Best AEMH villain ever.
I need a season three!
I was gonna mention the show too. Jesus, was that ahead in the writing deoartment.
@@spencersholden I thought ultron was really fun too, he was at least better than his version in the mcu
@@soundsofstabbing3627 sadly that’s kinda a low bar
This man clearly pissed off his tailor. Imagine being able to travel through time and still have a sub-garbage tier costume.
He’d do great with a digital interface
Generic ass costume
Yeah, also the purple is a bit too close to Thanos in regards to the MCU. If you’re reading this after the finale of Loki, Jonathan Major’s made, what I can assume is Immortus, was played well and had a tiny bit more drip. Although he’s giving off a lot of Ozymandias from Watchmen vibes. We’ll see 🤔🤔🤔
Am I the only one who likes the suit
@@wifi-rex442 I like it too
Fun fact: Kang was actually one of the first characters to be killed in the original Secret Wars lmao
Yeah doom smoked him.
Hello there, person that thinks fortnite ruined batman even though that's dumb, lol
@@astrobird11 Hello once again lmao
@@astrobird11 nah i just feel the story's writing could be better.
@@shadowstrike234 alright
My favorite moment in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes is with Kang
Iron Man: Maybe Kang is right about this.
(Kang then grins)
Iron Man: But he's being a REAAAALL jerk about it
(The Avengers then jump him)
Also, looks like Drake already hates Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania lol
People think he'll be the main villain of Loki but it's obviously Ravonna. Edit: STOP REPLYING, I HEARD YOU PEOPLE THE FIRST MILLION TIMES!
Kang may not be an interesting villain, but in EMH he is great.
Earths mightiest heroes is a great show
Hehe. I should rewards that series, I enjoyed it.
funny that you mention EMH cuz i’m watching it as i type this comment right now
Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes would disagree. Kang is the best villain in that show by far.
BuT wHaT aBoUt ThE wReCkInG cReW!!!!!
Nah, Zemo is.
OUR WORLDS ABOUT TO BREAK!!!!
TORMENTED AND ATTACKED!!!!
EMH was too good for this world...
In A:EMH, yeah. But in the comics he's really stupid most of the time.
I’m in agreement with you. I think Kang actually loses gravitas as a villain if you can defeat a variant, and another pops up. He’s basically a game of whack-a-mole.
That's gotta be the weirdest way to agree with someone that I've read in a while, thank you for sharing it with us
Truly. It's so Yawn inducing. One day they'll probably reveal that every single living thing in the universe is a version of Kang with amnesia.
The recent comic about Kangs origin is great, being the conqueror of all space and time(infinity) is sick. Losing his sanity and memory because of the time travel is sick, his ambition being sparked from a stale utopia is sick, his only care for self improvement is sick. He has a tragic story that infinitly repeats itself, it is the reason why it's tragic. The ultimate villain born of a utopia.
Comic Drake: I hate him
Kang: *time travels to Drake’s date of birth* you hear somethin’?
Kang: This is where the fun begins!
@@Username_ladiesman217 *Began. ;)
@@thejoabear *will begin 😈
Oh no, cringe
Not only is all of this true, but also, Kang has exactly 0 drip. Man's got the generic Marvel villain green and purple, his face looks blue and has shit drawn over his eyes, and he's got metal going from his chest to waist, completely hindering flexibility
Well I suddenly have to go change my outfit, thanks!!!
And the thigh high boots
I wonder how he'll look in in Ant-Man 3 considering the MCU likes to redesign outfits to sell toys.
Bro's fit is absolute trash🤣💯
Something DCTARD would say
Stilt Man: “oh Yes, he is the worst”
Haha Stilt Man is so fun tho! And there are a couple of them, right
Bro, Stilt Man is a unit
He was really cool in the current daredevil run
Speed Demon: how could you forget about me, well I know how.
The Matador is staunchly nodding his head in agreement with Stilt Man.
It's really interesting that alot of the early artwork seemingly depicts the blue face as part of his helmet: like a visor or a mask. However, as time has passed, it's evolved to just be his face
It still its supossed to be his face. Hes just some white guy with an evil goatee after all. Its just that many of his current apearances dont care about the character past and dont really know much about him other that hes a tyrant of the future. And that basically part of his name. "Kang the Conqueror".
@Rob Mohamedally I meant that most artists draw it as if it's just his face, with the purple helmet as the separate piece
The only good use of Kang was Doom 2020, where he existed just to pop in and annoy Victor about his future randomly.
I thought that was an instant classic! But then I love Doom & Kang both, so... 🤷
KANG THE CONQUEROR: ONLY MYSELF LEFT TO CONQUER is goated and better than any other marvel story
And I say unto you:
"Time Travel is so confusing. One could be their own grandparent."
Are you literally Jesus Christ?
@@PotentiallyBryant "That is my name. Yes."
Yes, Futurama kind proved that one could be their own grandparent.
Yes
It would also be weird if your child was your parent at the same time.
I think you’re far too unfair on Kang, to be honest. He’s not that difficult to understand honestly? He’s like a full on bad guy Rick Sanchez honestly.
"Full on bad guy Rick Sanchez" is a redundant statement. As people have been commenting about Earth's Mightiest Heroes, he can be done well.
@@chadleach6009 guess it depends on which dimension you live in ....unless destroying entire universes doesn't make u a bad guy cuz your viewers think ur cool and edgy ...don't get me wrong I love rick and morty but rick is seriously one of the biggest antagonistic characters in the whole show ...almost every time they get attacked by something it's cuz him and morty are doin something they shouldn't be
@@chadleach6009 ya I don't think it complicates things that much especially if they specify which Kang we are seeing and my point is that the main rick we watch and the version of Kang murdering people are both bad guys ...every bad guy thinks he's the good guy in his own story
He’s the Rickest Rick
@@chadleach6009 Na Rick Sanchez is more comparable to Mr Fantastic considering the Council of Ricks was copied from the Council of Reeds in the FF comic "Solve Everything". Although Kang is a descendant of Reed.
I'm CONVINCED nothing is in that mug, its all for show, its a metaphor for life, pouring stuff into the mug was a way to give us the illusion that something is in there. i will have to make a theory video with mattpatt about the mug
I mean I literally drink from it twice in this video.
@@ComicDrake The true question is whether you change what's in it based on the subject matter. Like switching to vodka for a Kang video...
HE'S KANG, HE'S KANG, YOU'RE KANG?! I'M KANG! Are there any other kangs I should know about
Damn it. I should have done that joke.
"Meow"
I’m outta here…
I know that this is not a comic, but the “Avengers: Earths mightiest heroes” show had stuff going on with Kang and i would say they did well with him and his “Origin”. In the show we have him go back in time because his timeline is getting oofed because of Captain America and the things he had done or something, like how he was supposed to be dead and some other things that i am not going to mention. And yeah, stuff…
Anyway tl:dr, this was more of an excuse to tell people to watch the show because i think it’s pretty damn good and no one seems to talk about it, which makes me kinda sad, especially since they stopped making the show a long time ago and that’s without a proper ending, instead we got “Avengers assemble”, which was not bad last time i checked, but yeah it sucks compared to “A:emh”.
But yeah… check it out please… like… why not check it out, it is on Disney plus, it’s good… unless me keep saying these things makes you lose interest and stuff for it, which is not good so i’ma shut it here… ye
It's really great. Gotta binge watch that master piece again because of you. If one didn't see it and likes comics and or cartoons, he should definitely watch it.
I loved how comic book feeling that show was. they had a giant cast of bad guys, all the characters were more or less in very comic accurate designs, and overall it just felt like I was watching a slightly streamlined version of the comic characters as they went about their lives
@@onurcradibleable yeah it’s so great, that i want it to return and continue off from where it ended, in the same style and everything. The question is though, will it ever return? Can we do anything to make it return? Will a petition do(which i doubt)? Like yeah… guess this is life, unless something is done about it. Untill then, i’ll just watch some anime or continue on with “The Witcher” on Netflix.
@@soundsofstabbing3627 yeah from what i understand, it’s very comic accurate, like how Hank Pim is the creator of Ultron and whatnot.
@@vahigokukirisaki8521 yeah, I was kind of comparing it to the mcu, where they take a lot of time to make everything modern, earth's mightiest heroes is much more ok with being a bit campy and fun. for example, zemo in the mcu is much more modern and gray, only kind of being connected to hydra, in contrast, zemo from earth's mightiest heroes is the extravagant sword wielding nemesis to cap who wears purple and yellow with a golden crown and fluffy shoulders
Honestly, I’m not surprised about Kang, since he’s been around since the sixties and over complicated, over convoluted plots and characterization happens in comics.
So has other villians/heroes to be fair. Kang probably got shuffled around more-so because he wasn't a fan-favorite and he never had a solid storyline that readers knew.
I was so confused when I saw that a handful of conquerers were the same character-ish lol
@@jeb1691 I'm guessing it was trendy at the time. 😺
That’s kinda why Earth 616 becomes a bit confusing and awkward. Everything from Cap’s revival to the formation of the Fantastic Four all happened in the Sixties but in the year 2021, 60 years after that, they still treat those events like they just happened.
Retcons and alternate earths exist for this reason but for characters like Kang who never changes while simultaneously changing his character all the time, it just becomes confusing.
@@evanlight2550 Which is why comics fear of "ending" hurts them more than anything. A reboot doesn't help, having anything "MODERN" doesn't help. When you're just acting like basically 60+ years of canon happened and at the same time didn't... Doesn't help. Plus using time travel/distortions has always been a bad writing trope. Like oh we'll just go back to the good timeline.
@@ExeErdna not even that, it’s just that EVERYTHING, save for Ultimate and similar universes like it, happened in 616. And DC kinda suffers the opposite, because half the time I can’t tell which is Earth-1/prime-whatever- because one issue Superman is killed by Lex Luthor and the next he’s fine and dandy like nothing happened.
I like comics, I love Marvel and DC before they became what they are now, but their universes become a clusterfuck of continuity when you feel like no time has happened save for very specific storylines that get Retconned a week later because “fuck you fans, we don’t care”.
kang historically being “a little rapey” hits a little too close to home considering all the recent news about jonathan majors…
... I bet 100$ youre what you describe bud. The way you type, the ..., your profile pic, it all checks out
TL:DR
Kang is the canon of Doctor Who personified in a villain, but more confuse
And rapey!
Preach
also Rick Sanchez
@@poppinpopper1 I would argue that the Citadel of Ricks is pretty tight in comparison with any of Kangs backstories
he was at least fun in avengers: earth's mightiest heroes
And lego marvel superheroes 2 chronopolis was a good time.
that show was really good, it had so many cool characters and stories, and yeah it's been a while since i saw it but i remember he was an interesting character.
@@changvasejarik62 except when you unlock him he is terrible
Kang is honestly my second favourite villain of all time. His biggest downfall is literally his pride and lust for conquering rather then simply getting shit done
Kang is a really cool villain in my opinion and I always liked him ever since I saw his depiction in Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes TV show when I was kid which had him as a very complex and interesting villain when compared to his somewhat obscure origin in the comics.
I am excited for him to make his debut in the MCU and could be a great antagonist for the Young Avengers.
BTW who's your first favourite villain? Just curious, if that's okay with you.
@@milkiassamuel780 for me my favourite villain of all time will always be Victor Von Doom. It’s makes sense that both doom and Kang are in my top 3 because they are both linked story wise. But the reason why Doom is my favourite is because he actually succeeds in his quest for power. He also has one of the greatest developments known to character origins, learning magic, science and even divine/inter dimensional energy to get what he needs. But what I love the most about him is that the way he is written makes you almost believe that he is doing the right thing.
@@RidMicENTERTAINMENT Me too, the Fantastic Four were the first superhero team I was introduced to as a kid and when reading about their nemesis Doctor Doom, he truly became one of, if not my all-time favourite character for all the reasons you listed down. He is such an interesting character when written well and the fact he literally became a god and reconstructed the entire universe to his image, just outsmarting some of the most powerful beings in the universe, is enough evidence to justify how much of a great he is. His hatred for Reed is also quite fascinating, as he truly despises everything about Reed with a burning passion and has literally fought through Hell in order to accomplish his goals. Not to mention that he has a pretty cool origin as well involving the death of his father at the hands of the corrupt monarchy he eventually overthrows, his deal with Mephisto to save his mother from eternal damnation, the accident that left him indefinitely scarred, and his revolution against the corrupt baron of his country Latveria, he even sacrifices the love of his people for him, the same people he saved in order to constantly selflessly attempt to save his mother. Doom is very similar to Magneto in my opinion as the two have valid motivations yet execute them in the wrong ways. The only reason that Doom fails is because of his unrelenting ego, and yet has never stopped due to his insane willpower and hatred. With the Fantastic Four set to debut in the MCU, we can surely expect to see Doctor Doom make his full debut.
@@milkiassamuel780 I completely agree. I would honestly love if they delved a little bit more into Dooms relationship with his mother and Mephisto. They slightly went more into it during the Infamous Ironman but we haven’t heard much after that.
@@RidMicENTERTAINMENT That's a good idea and with all the rumours about Mephisto showing up in the MCU eventually, it might as well be explored with Doctor Doom. I think a great way of touching on this idea would have to be in an origin film or Disney+ series for Doctor Doom in order to see his childhood in Latveria under the tumultuous rule of a sadistic baron, learn both science and magic in order to see him attempt to save his mother from Mephisto and eternal damnation. The MCU has so much potential to utilise Doctor Doom and, in the long term, he could be the perfect antagonist to end the MCU with a Secret Wars film that has him in his God Emperor Doom form, thus having enough time and plenty of films and TV show's to explore his character and feel fulfilled if we were to see this potential finale.
I see Kang as a realistic outgrowth of an irresponsible use of time travel.
so basically one of the best villains possible. read:KANG THE CONQUEROR: ONLY MYSELF LEFT TO CONQUER
Kang in the comics is weird and confusing but in "Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes", Kang is the best villain.
💯
@Rob Shabibo I'm not acting like I have read every comic appearance, just based off what Drake brings up in his video and the comics I've read with him. Kang in "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" takes all the great qualities of Kang from the comics and throws out the messy stuff, (which is what the show did for a lot of the stories and characters it adapted).
@Rob Shabibo and you think this because?
@Rob Shabibo ok whatever, I don't care anymore. There's no point in arguing with you.
KANG THE CONQUEROR: ONLY MYSELF LEFT TO CONQUER read this its goated and modern about Kangs origin
It's sad that the most interesting thing I've seen with Kang is the whole thing about his younger self not wanting to be a villain.
Kang is the greatest villain in all of marvel
its not sad its Kang. Memory gets fucked up over time and all that is left is Kang and his ambition, to conquer.
“It looks like Marvel forgot about Kid Immortus” to be fair, I would also like to forget about Kid Immortus, and everything else that came out of that awful comic.
You mean becuase of the Chidrens Crusade (or wharever that was called)? I cant blame you if your wanna forget that. Marvel seems to want to forgot it themselves. But the character apearance in FF was somewhat funny. He was basically Kang jr, but sitll.
At least comic kang didn't get his ass handed to him by ant man
Yeah but he got trapped in his own dimension by himself unwillingly and intentionally. Try making that make sense
Yes he has LMAO ya'll dont read enough comics

@@Wandasolosurfavs OK can you recommended me the issue or event comics these 1v1 fights happened sounds interesting but trust me my thoughts on kang have nothing to do with mcu hype and comic drake isn't the be all and end all on comic books also don't Diss moon knight
Ngl, Kang is a beast in the movie…
That boxing fight he had against Killmonger is so intense and awesome.
A way to fix the continuity errors for Kang could be done by saying that because when he travels through time he is no longer apart of the timeline, he not only remembers the timeline he came from but the new one as well.
He being a non abstract level of being his mind can't handle the stress causing him to actually forget who is Sense of self and such
“Kang is the worst Marvel villain”
Egg Head and Stilt Man: Hold our beers.
Yeah, well, Egg-head was greatly improved in the MCU.
By being in two frames and dying in a matter of seconds.

Not really. Kang is really shitty and one of if not the worst Marvel Villain. There is no denying it.

I got to say, after watching his introduction in Loki and watching this--I’m even MORE excited to see what they do with this character in the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse
I’m glad to see so many people in the comments talking about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, that show is amazing
That's my favorite show too.
How does one get to witness every episode
Was it that good? It has nothing on Justice League and Justice League Unlimited lol
Fair points made here. My first exposure to Kang was in Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes. He was one of my favorite villains in the show and had a very streamlined history. This led me down the rabbit hole of his history. I never knew the last bits of the video but damn hate that’s it’s part of history. I hope the MCU adaptation goes more towards the show’s adaptation than the comics.
And yet, Kevin Feige thinks that this guy is likely to be taken seriously as a the next big bad for the MCU?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
And he died three times already. Twice in the same show.
Kang is cool and you're going to have to deal with it.
Sounds like one of Comic Drake’s descendants will form the TVA.
Sounds like "Rick and Morty" took a good dose of inspiration from Kang's Origin. Like, for example, the Council of Ricks. Also reminds me a bit of Reverse Flash from DC.
Drake: Kang is such a ridiculously complicated character

This doesn’t explain why Kang is “the worst Marvel villain”. All you did was point out that his backstory is confusing and that other versions of this VILLAIN did some bad things. Not once did you say why the character himself is bad other than being “generic”.
agreed :/
This was just a whine fest because someone's unhappy that Kang's the next big bad. I like relatable characters, but I also enjoy insane escapism. Not everything needs to be about how Peter Parker can't afford brand macaroni and cheese, and has to buy store generic. Sometimes you want something a little less pedestrian.

@@ExeErdna this is a video about the comics?
One thing I'm starting to notice more and more is that Kang is almost always the backup/secondary villain for the Avengers. Thanos gets all the buildup. Thanos gets all the epic fight scenes. Thanos gets all the stakes. Then Thanos is defeated and everything is ok. But the producers still need to keep the product rolling to keep bringing in money. So when all is said and done, who do they bring in as the next big bad? Kang. Kang is nearly always trying to claw his way out of Thanos's shadow, but he never can. Sometimes, Kang gets his time to shine, but he will always be compared to Thanos.
That’s like Jeff Bezos saying yes I’m the richest man today, but I want to be the richest man in 1970. Who does that?! Kang’s only apparent motivation must be boredom… LOL
Don’t get me wrong. The “Kang kidnaps the potential mothers to impregnate them” is gross enough.

Let me correct that:
*A 70'ish looking Thousand years old lady.*
Honestly, I think you're bogging yourself down in semantics here with the time travel. Sure it's not stream lined since it's out of order and intentionallt vague, but so long as you remember which order the Kangs go in and go along with the ride its not that bad. Sure, he's hard to explain on paper, but if you just sit back and let the story play out its not really that distracting most of the time. The multiple personas is really the only thing that make him harder to grasp than say Reverse Flash.
@@Niop_Tres I agree. In fact, since marvel stopped using his other identities around the 2000, he becoming less and less interesting (and far more predictable) as time goes on. Theres only so many times you can have him use time travel to destroy the Avengers or try to take over he world. Those stories are burning the character, its time to try something new. And that includes the other personas. Even the last time he have a diferent personality it was just a remake of Victor Timely, a time traveling rich businessman. Granted, it waas more interesting that what they did with the character later on, but still. He needs something more fresh than that. Or something more character focus at least. It would be nice if they bring back his rivalry with Inmortus. They always brought the best of each other. And Inmortus needs the spotlight. The poor guy hasnt been seen since 2012.

@@emmastarr5242 I thought it was annoying how he was so light hearted and joked all the time. I hope his variant is a lot more evil
@@morgancarter5788 What do you think? His variants were narcissistic enough to erect statues of himself...
@@emmastarr5242 or he in that alternate timeline he revealed himself as the maker of the TVA and the time keepers made statues of him. Idk. Can’t wait to see Tobey in Spider-Man 3 🤣
How to fix Kang:
Make his time-crunching ways bite him in the ass, to the point where even he can't know all his clones running around.
Said time clones of Kang can be freely killed off to avoid constantly needing to keep track of multiple Kangs.
Keep the Time stuff to a minimum unless needed.
Then again I'm not a comic writer so.
We shall see
well what do you know
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Kang the Conqueror.
It kinda makes it funny since his pretty advanced and time traveling is mind numbingly to confusing to understand
😂Is that a rick and morty reference. 😂
@@himum3429 lol yeah
But you actually do though
"Time travel! I see this as an absolute win!" -Bruce "Hulk" Banner
Lol anyone here after the Loki finale 😂
I'll be honest, I knew almost nothing about Kang and his comicbook iterations prior to this video, but man does the original material suck in comparison to where I first saw him, the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes TV series. Seriously, I fucking loved him there as he was the most well-written recurring villain whose backstory and motivations stemmed from more than just domination beyond time-space. Seriously, that show was the shit, and I wish it went on for more than just 3 years.
I love it how none of these Kang lovers can dispute one point this man made.
Unfortunately the MCU couldn't fix him
How well Kang was written in "Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes" is the whole reason why watched this video. He does not inherent the same problems in that show as his comic book counterpart possessed. I am honestly a little surprised that he became infamous to you and other Marvel fans over the years.
I can assure you that most of the people who like Kang only like him because of his role in Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
I admit thats true you got me there but I read the first story of the Young Avengers and honestly I liked the whole Kang and Iron Lad thing and I hope this is adapted for the MCU.
Kang the conqueror 2021 best comic from marvel
I remember Kang from the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon.
When you're favorite hero is booster gold then your opinion dosen't matter to me🤷🏻♂️
When you shit on Booster Gold then your opinion doesn't matter to me. 🤷♂️
@@ComicDrake when you let random people's comments on CZcams affect u, that's when you're opinion doesn't matter
Ps, I'm just screwing with u lol
Kang from EMH! was interesting. He was hella cool, he wanted to avoid the destruction of his timeline by killing Captain America and never have him "return to life", because he was responsible of the Kree-Skrull war...later it turned out that the "Captain America" that was involved on the War was a Skrull impersonator
Yeah...still convoluted buy y'all get what I mean; he had more serious ties to the storylines. His ship, the DAMOCLES, eventually became SWORD HQ...because the ship looked like a sword lol
Damn, so they really typecast Kang with a matching actor, kinda messed up in the end.
Kang’s head always reminded me of a tv
I detest time travel in all forms, i detest alternate universes, i detest space travel also.
Then street level heroes are best bet.
Then stop reading comics
@@Wandasolosurfavs I don't read comics anymore.
@@mostmost1 Good we don't need whiny complainers like you ruining evrything with your negativity. And make sure you never pick one up again ty ♡
Then MCU Kang exist in loki
I personally always despise him.
Because of he's a time traveler Kang always bring convoluted story wherever he goes & he always makes Marvel's biggest hitters job against him
Even Earth's Mightiest Heroes couldn't improve him.
Tbf heavy hitters do job against villains since their you know villains
Kang is like Dr D but unlike Dr D I actually like Dr D
When you order Dr. Doom from Wish, they send you Kang.
As a time travel character, Kang is more convoluted than Cable. That's saying something...
I'm starting to think that he's more convoluted than Dragon Balls' time travel shenanigans and that's confusing as hell.
I’m very excited to see the MCUs take on Kang. I’m sure they’ll streamline their story and make it way easier to follow. It kinda scares me that “too much continuity” has been a problem for readership in comics for so long and that the MCU is getting to the point where it’s continuity is way too much.
I feel like the MCU has been kinda fixing that problem. I mean someone could watch MoM without any other knowledge of the rest of the MCU, same with most the Disney+ shows.
this didn’t age well
It’s so funny how he’s just appeared in Loki now lmfao
I love how Drake says that he hates Kang, but he likes Kite-Man, a character that many see as lame.
Because Kite Man was so well written in a war of jokes and riddles plus have you seen him on the Harley Quinn series? how not love him?
@@Gabe600
I wasn't criticizing him; I was just pointing that out because I found it to be funny.
5:50
You know why you’re here
So what your trying to say is this guy is just Rick Sanchez but in marvel
I just want to thank you for all the effort you put into your videos!! I always get so excited when I see a new video :)
Came here after Kang showed up in Loki
Yup
I think it's the best move after the whole thanos thing. Kang makes the most sense for the mcu moving forward. Hopefully they will do him justice.
who here after Loki episode 6 lmaooo
I personally enjoyed him as a YA villain, he played his part well to bring Nathaniel Richards back in time and form the YA, and I just enjoyed that plotline
This kinda makes me want to read more Kang stories 👀
Kang the conqueror 2021 is goated
bUt WhAt AbOuT aVeNgErS eArTh MigThIeSt HeRoEs?
I have a feeling everybody’s here after Loki finale
Haha I am
I mean Reverse Flash is pretty convoluted with his ridiculous ability to always to exist.
Plot twist: literally every person alive is a version of Kang
