    According to the writer of this mess, he wanted Kang to be an underdog with who the audience could sympathize...he failed miserably, and he still thinks that critics are in the wrong and that comic fans can screw themselves.
    The guy used to write for Rick and Morty; that explains a lot. The worse part is that in Hollywood, you fail upward, so this guy is now writing the kang dynasty.
    And the future is going to be worse because rumors say that Velma writers are going to join the MCU.

    Quantumania really should have been a tense movie where our heroes battled against a more terrifying/intriguing Modok. Once Modok is defeated our heroes are hit in the face with the introduction of Kang. (who was never known by anyone even Janet. Also, think of Darth Vader and Palpatine.) Kang easily defeats our heroes. Kang Brutally kills Janet and Hank.
    Scott, Hope, and Cassandra barely escape with horrified/Saddened looks on their faces.
    And throughout the Marvel films, we see post-credits scenes of Kang killing multiverse versions of Marvel heroes to slowly gain pieces of "something" to control the multiverse.
    Also another suggestion
    Have Kang kill Cassandra I know it's gnarly but wouldn't you say it would make Kang instantly memorable as the first Marvel villain who killed a child on screen in full display as her loved ones watched?

    I do think his more human side needs to be developed. At the same time he is driven by stopping the multiverse from colliding and killing itself. He does that by killing timelines. Problem with that is that it causes war and he who remains takes control. He’s seen so much death that life doesn’t matter to him, only what others can give him. It doesn’t seem like good writing but people who kill consistently get desensitized to it and lean more into it

    Thanos is the result of sticking to one of the laws of marketing that MEN OF RENOWNED in the field of marketing understood for decades .
    "SELL the SIZZLE not THE STEAK"
    They teased Thanos to us for over 5 years, the human mind is a very strange place, if you allow the idea of a threat to fester and nurture in the mind, by the time the actual threat comes, we've already solidified that threat in its entirety. Thanos is not as epic as he SEEMS to be, but we bought the sizzle...
    😥It's hard to encapsulate.
    It's like how they say
    ," a slap hurts more when you know it's comming".

    Have you ever read the comics about his origin? I hope the writers have because Kang has a very good and dramatic story about love there. That was his sole purpose in life. To find a way to be with Ravonna Renslayer.
    The very act of travelling through time however creates the person he hates the most. Himself. He is destined to become himself over and over again and thus he will fail. He messes up the very thing he loves the most in the most extreme way possible. A life with Ravonna.

  • @928studiosinc06
    @928studiosinc06 Год назад +1

    I am downright HORRIFIED that writers from Rick and Morty are writing the MCU content.
    I was very forgiving to Marvel throughout Phase Four. But after Thor: Love and Thunder came out, and after She-Hulk broke me, I came through a few choices I have made.
    One: The only Disney+ shows based around Marvel I will be watching from now on are What If...? and Loki, because those have competent writing. I will not be watching Iron-Heart, or Echo, or any other live action series to be released, because it is clear that the TV showrunners care about jack shit from the complaints they have heard from fans.
    The blatant harassing of audiences in their films and shows is also humiliating. In WandaVision, it was the casting of Evan Peters to make a dirty joke. In Eternals, it was casting Harry Styles as Eros just for the sake of it. Ms. Marvel's blatant hypocrisy after what Disney did with the live action Mulan. Thor: Love and Thunder appealing to no one, and I mean no one, but seven year olds (something Chris Hemsworth said a while back), which is clear with the jokes. And She Hulk and the twerking moment, in which Marvel and Jessica Gao were like, "You want maturity? Well, watch this." Most recently, it came with Quantumania.
    (SPOILERS)
    10:42 sums up perfectly what this film's version of M.O.D.O.K. is. Honestly, M.O.D.O.K. is officially my most hated Marvel Cinematic Universe character of all time. The fact that they turned a very disturbing ugly looking character (something that the Avengers game did three years ago), and turned him into one of the WORST CGI characters ever created. Look at all the CGI characters created in the history of cinema. Look at the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. Look at Gollum. Look at King Kong. Look at Ceaser. Look at Thanos. How did we get from those to M.O.D.O.K.? The jokes involving him were absolutely terrible, especially the dick joke and the died an Avenger line. The latter is, in my opinion, the most insulting line ever from Marvel. Natasha Romanoff willingly jumped off a cliff to save billions of lives. Tony Stark wielded the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers to save billions of lives. M.O.D.O.K. started out as a corporate douchebag villain, who wore a knock off Ant-Man armor, had his head blown up like a balloon, and jumped in the way of a villain who killed Thor. What a freaking nonsense and stupid line! I didn't like Yellow Jacket in the first Ant-Man movie, but at least when he put on the suit, he was menacing. Here, he was just the worst thing ever put to screen.
    The worst part about all of this is that we are stuck with these writers from here on in. Forget Jon Favreau and the Russo Brothers. The guys who wrote an animated sci-fi comedy about a drunk scientist and his autistic grandson should make the next batch of projects based around the Marvel comics. Are we supposed to be impressed by that?! The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars don't look good to me anymore. The Avengers is my favorite film of all time, and Infinity War and Endgame were the perfect finale, so why they are stretching it out makes no sense in of itself. But turning them into a knockoff of a crappy CGI heavy Robert Rodriguez production is just the worst, laziest, stupidest, unpleasant, ungrateful, and most insulting thing you could do to what is essentially Infinity War and Endgame on steroids.
    I had faith in Marvel a long time ago. I grew up watching the stories and characters of the Infinity Saga unfold, and it felt like a complete narrative. Seeing the Multiverse Saga begin seemed like such a cool prospect. Now I know that it's just going to be quickly forgotten as soon as it showed up.
    As of now, the comic book movies I want to watch are the DC films, because James Gunn seems to be knowing what he is doing, and DC is my favorite comic book franchise, and tied with Star Wars as my favorite franchise. Gunn will bring new life into the comic book movie genre with Superman Legacy, Lanterns, The Brave and the Bold, Swamp Thing, and many others in the future.
    As for Marvel, while I will be watching their films, their TV shows, their tie-in specials, their comics, if they are not worth it, I am not paying attention to it.
    This is not what we wanted from Marvel, and they gave it to us anyway. I have one last message to Marvel. FUCK. YOU!
    That was a long one, so expect a big read.

    As a HUGE fan of Kang the conqueror i admit i watched this movie for Kang and him alone i was too busy fanboing out seeing my favorite Marvel villain that it took a day after watching it in the theater, a couple RUclips videos (including this one) and comments to fully realize just how much they fucked Kang up as a villain even one of my work friends didn't understand why Kang was like this
    Me being a fanboy: Kang is threatening, you hear how he threatened M.O.D.O.K and Ant-Man daughter?
    My work friend: it makes no sense to threaten his own minion and how can he use time powers to put Ant-Man in a time loop of his daughter being killed if they are in the quantum realm? A place that exists outside of TIME and space
    Me being a fanboy: well darn, good point! But he's murdered a lot of people including the avengers
    My work friend: yes that's what is said, but what big name character he kill here that we see him kill instead of him saying he killed them?
    Me being a fanboy: well none but he is the most POWERFUL villain we have seen more powerful than Thanos
    My work friend: he got temporarily overwhelmed by ants and defeated by Ant-Man and Wasp.... They are joke characters!
    Me being a fanboy: "sighs" (accepts defeat) you right you right
    I was so mad about the ant comment because it was true i thought of a better way to do that scene i commented in another video i will post it here too

    • @dorkknight7973
      @dorkknight7973 Год назад +1

      I've constantly thought of better ways to handle that scene
      For instance
      I'm sure you remember Kang forcing M.O.D.O.K against the wall and saying "do not speak when i am in the room" so in the ant swarm scene when M.O.D.O.K yells "MY NAME IS DARREN AND I AM NOT A DICK" Kang looks at him calmly and menacingly, not afraid and disgusted, stops Darren from disrupting his force field by taking over M.O.D.O.K, and start crushing him while calmly saying "What did i say about talking when I'm in the room" and then crush him inside his mechanical chair killing him! Then turns his full attention back to the ants summon 10 orbs out of his gauntlet that once launched will grow bigger while multiplying, says "I've had enough of this foolish resistance and causes his force field to burst outward, he throws the orbs up and they start doing their thing getting bigger and multiplying the ants start coming again Kang smiles and the orbs start rapid firing upon the ants! The ant numbers start declining fast and Kang hover while blasting as well
      That's how I would have done it

    Interesting points apart from when you called the Kang Variants Stereotypes, I’m confused what you mean By that(Not trying to be antagonistic by the way, I’m just legitimately curious what you mean by that since I didn’t view any of them as stereotypes) Also your statement about The Violence that villains commit shouldn’t be censored, I agree with you about that for Kang in this movie but that rule can’t always be applied to every film for instance Christopher Nolan had to cut out a lot of his Batman Trilogy with Heath Ledger’s Joker, there were rejected scenes of him violently killing several Batman imposters but because of the MPAA, Nolan had to cut that out or heck the Original Script for the First Indiana Jones was a lot more violent and gory than the final film! But I do agree overall that Kang was wasted and if anything he should have been a cameo like Thanos was in Guardians

    I was excited to see how they handle Kang. Well. I'm no longer excited after watching the movie. Not a good start to phase 5. I don't know much or who Jonathan Majors is but man people appear to praise him as the best actor in marvel now. Very confusing to me. Feel like I'm missing something. He had to great scene. The scene where he's threatening Antman and the harm he will do to his daughter. It was chilling and I believed him. Kang should've killed two or three characters and left Scott in the Quantum world to make him threatening.
    Kang was just underwhelming all around and I'm not excited for him as the main villain. They can turn it around. There's time but I don't have the same trust in Marvel movies as I once did.

  • @adamgrunther1367
    @adamgrunther1367 Год назад +2

    The way I see it we can just ignore everything after Endgame if we choose to. It’s obvious at this point that they’re not gonna top the Infinity Saga so there’s honestly no point in investing more time to see more of the MCU if what’s been given since 2021 onwards hasn’t been good. The Infinity Saga is a great series of films that we can be happy with (even if Disney isn’t).
    It’s honestly best to just move on. It’s not like the future of comic book movies is dead. James Gunn’s DCU looks very promising and I say it’s time to let them have their day in the sun for the next decade.

    I agree with your points. But to be fair, Thanos was also introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy before Infinity War and if you just took that movie alone, you would’ve considered Thanos a weak villain too. We didn’t really know why he wanted what he wanted. In the end credits of Avengers and into Guardians, he seemed to just want power. It wasn’t until the final movies of phase 3 that we learned his motives. So in Guardians, he was a “weak” villain too.

Kang might get stronger later on. 7. they could change kang from this because they changed the final battle in wanaka in black panther to infinity war so they were saving it. If they fix and save the story later on then i think we're good. kevin fiege should leave. marvel needs to get better writers for the avengers movies or marvel projects as a whole.
