The various movies obviously deserve their own threads once things actually start moving on them, but it seems like we should have a place just for general discussion about what they're planning. So here ya go. [Reply]
I love how the MCU failed in explaining Kang and building him up properly, relegating his appearances to both Loki seasons and Antman 3. Nobody was really afraid of Kang, you can understand that Thanos is much more intimidating of a main villain, but now Marvel gets a pass, gets to fire Majors, appear they're on the moral high ground in this whole thing and get time to get it right to try to rescue their failed decisions post Thanos. Wonder what this does to their slate in the future and if they push Avengers movies back to introduce the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom. [Reply]

Deadpool 3 might end up being a three hour movie and the vessel they need to move away from Kang and bring in Doom, not to mention all the expanded Marvel universe to make Secret Wars a reality.
Doom is the natural choice for the Big Bad in Secret Wars, anyway. Kang never felt right to be that multiversal threat to me from the beginning. [Reply]

Not having Kang fucks up my Christmas gift to my daughter though. I bet on the next phase being all about Kang, so I bought a bunch of the comics in the Kang storyline I thought they would use. I also hedged my bets and bought her the Secret Wars graphic novel and another graphic novel of Doom.
It took me a long time to find and buy the individual comics. I'm sure she'll enjoy it even if that's not the movie plot moving forward. I never watched Loki, or Antman 3, nor did I care enough about Kang way back when I used to collect comics to read his storyline, but it was a fun challenge hunting those down. [Reply]

I thought they did a decent enough job given the circumstances.
Kang is just a dude with advanced technology; whereas, Thanos is a super strong alien. Thanos is always going to be more imposing for that reason. Kang did wipe out countless timelines, though. His body count is higher than Thanos’ for sure. [Reply]

I just skipped through and watched the Hela, Odin, Ten Rings ep as well as the Native American, Tesseract ep.
I thought they were both awesome, really well done. I’ll watch 1602 next, for sure. Unfortunately those were the only three I was actually interested in but I’ll probably make my way through the others in time. [Reply]
