I hear people say they should shift from Kang to Doom. I say they should keep Kang because they've set up everything for Kang. They should give Doctor Doom his time to grow and shine... and be scary. Not give him a rush-job.
Not to mention let’s say hypothetically something like this happens under the person who plays Doom, will marvel just drop the entire Doom character? I’m with you 100% let’s finish Kang not rush anything and then bring on the Doom!
Agree, Doom need his own Arc his own story have him tease if they adapt a Battle World like event as a variant who took advantage of the incursions and build his own world from all of that but still Kang is the big bad till the end of this Saga
My biggest bummer with all of the Jonathan Majors drama (with regards to the MCU) is that he was such an engaging actor and really made an impact with his portrayals. Casting Colman Domingo as Final Kang would certainly assuage any doubt in my head. He was incredible in Euphoria
Yeah, I really enjoyed his performance. It's a bummer but I think they had to do it. I'm generally for giving people second chances and divorcing ones actions from ones art and all but we can talk about that in 10 or 20 years. This is too fresh.
I think it’s pretty important that marvel continues the storyline that they are on, so their best option would probably be to recast Kang, instead of switching it up and finding another villain.
@@PoisonousRakunwtf does that mean? Marvel is a decade ahead of DC morally and visually lmao. DC is so addicted to conservativism they didn't want to do CYBORG let alone Justice League Q or Ivy x Harley

You guys are the first you tube channel that hasn’t spoken or covered the case of majors and I respect you guys even more now. Thank you rockstars for keeping it real. Mad respect
That would make sense to watch Jonathan Mayer's a plead go through. He gets his job back. He becomes Kang again and then Coleman get tired before it majors comes back and Coleman also becomes Kang an old er Kang
@@Mr.INEVITABLE55Majors is not coming back because condoning real world violence shouldn't be anyone's priority especially a multi billion dollar company.
@@Supherodude Looking at what he plead guilty to and watching him run like that in that video. It definitely wasn't handled responsibly and this screams hit job. You have the right to retrieve your property with force. This wasn't a DV case this was Buck breaking.
All Majors had to do in that interview was say, "I condemn Hamas and I stand with Israel unconditionally" Watch how fast he would be forgiven and back in Hollywood and Marvel movies before you could do a Thanos infinity gauntlet "fingersnap" Sadly, you have to play the game in Hollywood. Jonathan stay silent which was the worst advice he was given.
I feel sorry for Jonathan Majors. I feel even worse for us Marvel fans, we’ve fallen in love with the actor and the character(s) and we were looking forward on seeing him in the MCU going forward.
8:53 I definitely think Marvel should continue w/ the Kang storyline rather than pivoting to another villain. 8:32 They did kinda shoot themselves in the foot by showing Jonathan Majors playing every version of Kang in the Council of Kangs tho.
Imo that could be explained by them being one faction of Kangs. There could easily be a hierarchy of councils, which leads our thinking into understanding Doom's hierarchy on Battleworld as well. So Majors' Kang collected all the ones with a similar brain pattern to himself, Rama Tut creates other Rama Tut variants and those get sprinkled into other councils depending on their strengths. That could be a fun work around but my intuition says they're gonna do something more vague like "oh that's cute you thought those were the only ones, I have lots more pets" that way post Secret Wars they can still do a bunch w him
For me it's not that much of an issue, besides this isn't the first time the MCU has re-casted a canon character(Rhodey and everyone else) I'm okay with it as long as Kang remains, he's seriously underrated as a villain.
@@jedipadwan20 yeah but if you have him in the fantastic 4 film and tease him in doctor strange and don’t mess it up it might work but I could be wrong we both don’t know until it happens
Definitely not rocking with disney for them dropping Majors. They’ve made bad business decisions for money and it didn’t play out well for them. Dropping a good actor won’t change that.
They should absolutely keep Majors. The serious charges were dropped. There are MCU actors dealing with a lot more serious stuff. If their "standards" are that high, they shouldn't work with anyone in Hollywood.
@@TheCriticalArchitect if you have the chance, go on social media & let Marvel know. With enough pressure maybe they'd keep him. They brought back Gunn...
I actually respect yall a lot for not talking about the trial during it.. too many pages were tryna cover everything (nerdom pages) like why.. tryna say he’s innocent or this and that when there was literally no verdict yet.. it was so weird
Dropping the character of Kang would be the most dumb thing marvel could possibly do at this point. Destroys any continuity moving forward, ruins the lead up to avengers 5, and wouldn’t give a character like Dr Doom the proper depth and lead up they deserve. Plus it would set the precedent that if an actor in the future were to f up, they would drop that character - what if the actor for Dr Doom gets convicted of something midway through their story? Do they then just completely drop Dr Doom as a character? Keeping and recasting Kang gives them a chance to set a precedent for how they deal with these issues in the future.
Except for that pesky clause in his contract that he is the only actor to be Kang. Unless there's another clause that states legal issues negates first clause, their hands are tied.
@ghiggs8389 Of course, there's an "unless" clause. It's pretty common knowledge that any actor working under Disney signs some sort of upstanding moral character agreement. He broke that agreement. There is absolutely no way that Marvel and Disney don't have a well thought out contingency plan for each and every one of their actors.
The fact that you held off on speculating on the JM trial and then explained why after his trial had reached its verdicts are the very reasons I hold you guys in such high regard moreso than other RUclips channels and even most actual news outlets.
Just want to say I appreciate your ethical approach to the Jonathan Majors story. Obviously, as MCU fans, we want to know what’s going on, but it’s important that we’re getting good information. And people on the internet farming for clicks and attention are NOT good sources of information.
I appreciate the care and attention in covering this casting matter. NR definitely would have lost me, and everyone I recommend, if the teams approached this recklessly.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing out the importance of journalistic integrity and influencers trying to sway public opinion!! Too many in our society base what they think on what other people tell them to think instead of thinking for themselves!
I really do appreciate your guys integrity as a channel. I know it's comics and pop culture for the most part but what this world really needs y'all always deliver in spades........ transparency
I respect your humility and integrity in wanting to do journalism well and not feeling socially pressured into saying something about which you don't have all the facts for. Thank you! I wish more organizations and celebrities and people would do this for all topics.
Best person to replace him with is John Boyega!!! After seeing they cloned Tyrone and never realizing he was Fontaine until weeks later when I randomly googled the cast, he can definitely pull it off! That boy can act for real, and can definitely pull off the look without skipping a beat!!!!
Coleman is cinema excellence and so is Majors. I have a hard time transitioning to Coleman as Kang because Jonathon seal that role and he IS Kang. This one is a hard one for me.
Didn’t they break this tradition though by recasting William Hurt’s character? He is a major character I feel like since he was a big part of the start of the civil war.
Now im not supporting what Majors did i just find it funny how Disney and Marvel will drop Majors for what he did even though the people who run Disney behind the scenes have undoubtedly done worse in their lives im just saying its kinda hypocritical now with that said Majors made his choices and will have to live with them
I feel like it’s too early for Doctor Doom, he should be the villain for the next saga. I wouldn’t mind Coleman being the recasted Kang. Hell maybe even make Green Goblin the villain
I will say though I'm not fully engaged in this drama, I will say you and your team did an excellent job covering this mess. You were always neutral which helped me be neutral when emotions could easily be swayed by the masses 💪 Great Job!
So glad to hear there is a journalist... you... who holds themselves to a moral and ethical standard... even calling out your colleagues who do not do the same.
Love your (and the NR team’s) honesty on the Major’s topic. I was actually wondering why you were quiet the past year. But understand it now and VERY much appreciate it!
"Well, that's the beautiful thing about Kang in the comics. He is defeated a lot. In fact, it's almost comedic how often he loses. The scary thing is that he's not defined by his failure, and he can keep coming back stronger and stronger," Loveness argued. "It's not like you can just blow up the mothership, just beat him once and you're done. He is almost an existential threat, and the more you fight him the worse he's going to get."
I think Coleman Domingo would kill it in that role, maybe even better than Majors would have. Majors is good but sometimes he plays things too big, Coleman feels more natural. He also looks similar enough to him that it could be more believable that maybe he was a descendant or maybe the original "Kang". The Kangs also didn't all look alike in the comics so they really should take advantage of the multiverse by having others play all different characters.
_The Kangs also didn't all look alike in the comics_ This is a mess. Two seasons of Loki and one movie that was a flop and yes - they did all look alike, period. Marvel thinking they can paper over this is DCU level - babies in the microwave and Cavil refusing to shave his moustache level dumb. It's MODOK level dumb. It's that bad.
Much respect for not covering anything about the Jonathan Majors trial while it was all still speculation. Lesser channels would have covered it (and clickbaited it) for the deluge of engagement
Props to y’all for having journalistic integrity. We were all curious but there’s so much misinformation today and I appreciate this channel for being objective. Love you guys!
When asked about popular rumors that he would be replacing Majors as Kang the Conqueror, he replied, "I don't know, right now... I'm always looking at what I have to do right now... I know there's talk and conversations around, and I don't know how much is true. I don't even get that from my team. I can't tell if it's true or not." Domingo added, "The fans are passionate. Somehow my name is out there in the world. I like the idea of just having your name called and someone speaking lovingly and kindly about something is a beautiful thing."
Just to clarify what you said there is only sentencing for the reckless assault charge the harassment charge is not a crime but a violation. It holds the same weight as a speeding ticket.
If you think about it, Kang wanted to control time and time lines, and in a way, Majors did just that... he changed the entire direction of the MCU. Majors, like Kang, affected TIME!! You might say he embodies the character he plays too well.
I think you could have Coleman Domingo would be a great choice as a kang replacement. They could say that this kang is from further in the future and is the strongest kang and any other variants could be older versions, like the councle of kangs seen in quantimana could have been the past and it took so long that they aged 20 years
Thank you for calling out the fact that its dangerous for influencers and bloggers with no background in journalism try to "report" on these cases. they do more harm than good, spreading misinformation and bias
I’m glad NR took the high road during the trial. I try not to waste my time on speculation if I’m not personally involved. I think we all had a feeling he was going to be found guilty to some degree. Thanks NR to sticking with basic facts on this one 🙂
Hard no to a story pivot. There are near infinite kangs so having the best of them played by a handful of actors would be wise and safer ground for Disney going forward.
The stupidest possible thing Marvel could do would be to drop the character of Kang and do a rush job on someone like Dr Doom. They need to finish this storyline and commit to the character, otherwise they ruin any continuity going forward and set the precedent for themselves that they should throw a character and entire storyline in the garbage if any actors in the future are in a similar situation.
I think they should use him, I have a line in my head that I'm workshopping - something along the lines of "You were worried about them? You should be worried about me." Or "They warned you about Kang? Well Kang is here." I don't know, something like that.
I hear people say they should shift from Kang to Doom. I say they should keep Kang because they've set up everything for Kang. They should give Doctor Doom his time to grow and shine... and be scary. Not give him a rush-job.
Not to mention let’s say hypothetically something like this happens under the person who plays Doom, will marvel just drop the entire Doom character? I’m with you 100% let’s finish Kang not rush anything and then bring on the Doom!
Let them finish the Kang story and at the of his story give us a teaser of Doom.
Exactly, a rush job will just end up getting Doom to be "Secret invasioned". 😬
Definitely
Agree, Doom need his own Arc his own story have him tease if they adapt a Battle World like event as a variant who took advantage of the incursions and build his own world from all of that but still Kang is the big bad till the end of this Saga

Recasting Kang is going to be akin to recasting Gellert Grindelwald. 😂😂😂
Great take!!!
Lang is major’s role. If he stay low key for a year. Come back and go full Conqueror
I think they should keep Johnathan.
No
They should have just kept Jonathan. It was self defense, if you looked at the evidence
But disney doesn't see it that way. As long as the word "guilty" is written and mentioned with his name. They won't bring him back.
Literally. Based on the evidence and the specific charges he was found “guilty” of it was literally self defense
Even though I don’t think he’ll ever do it, I think Denzel really would be a amazing final Kang
I think you could have Coleman Domingo would be a great choice as a kang replacement. They could say that this kang is from further in the future and is the strongest kang and any other variants could be older versions, like the councle of kangs seen in quantimana could have been the past and it took so long that they aged 20 years

Hard no to a story pivot. There are near infinite kangs so having the best of them played by a handful of actors would be wise and safer ground for Disney going forward.
Jonathan doesn’t deserve this🤦🏾♂️
A conviction would say otherwise.
@@brady50429Mans is innocent. Self defense and harsh charges was dropped. A “conviction “ shouldn’t rule out everything that is real life.
@@Pic-Rick Disney has dropped him it's time you should as well.
The stupidest possible thing Marvel could do would be to drop the character of Kang and do a rush job on someone like Dr Doom. They need to finish this storyline and commit to the character, otherwise they ruin any continuity going forward and set the precedent for themselves that they should throw a character and entire storyline in the garbage if any actors in the future are in a similar situation.
I think they should use him, I have a line in my head that I'm workshopping - something along the lines of "You were worried about them? You should be worried about me." Or "They warned you about Kang? Well Kang is here." I don't know, something like that.
0:06 Fun fact Good Morning America is owned by Disney and they just interviewed him and he plans to return
You had me at Colman Domingo!
