It was a genius move for Reed to write “Rosebud III” on the Time Sled. His enemies would be too busy wondering what happened to the real Rosebud II.
"Cancel Kang", how prophetic
For real, I didn't catch the episode when it came out, so I was super confused that they didn't mention Johnathan Majors, until I realized the upload date lol
Kree: “Dude, is that blueface?!”
Kang: “No, no this is just a mask!”
And knowing the complex history of the Kree, Kang probably had to check what time it was/is/will be to know what the current social-political climate of the Kree (not an) Empire is.
#KancelKang
I'm just glad Earth's Mightiest Heroes introduced Kang to me by making him cool, sympathetic, and an inevitable threat.
The fact that Ben caught the reference and blew the guys' minds. A rare subversion on the couch. I think Ben altered time to make it happen.
What was the reference? I think I missed it.
@@hamzadawud The fact that the book is a play on Citizen Kane. Sal and Ethan don't realize it until the end.
@@TheGreatDevlin Oh, lol. I'm surprised they didn't catch that.
This episode has convinced me Kang is just sober Rick Sanchez with Time travel
"There will be future opportunities to cancel Kang" *a finger on the monkey's paw curls inwards*
Sal starting a back issues with instant regret only makes me all the more eager to listen.
I am blown away that Sal, that ANYONE, has the patience to learn about Kang. Such a headache of a character
Everybody's Kang the Conqueror or: Marvel's Version of The Hawk Snarl. I have to assume Feige isn't going to duplicate THAT mess.
This is why I thought kang wouldn't appear in th mcu. Loki always is why the avengers form so he makes sense. Ultron was possibe with current effects so he made sense too. But kang, as importznt as heim is could have been skiped.
Kang was in one of the first Marvel comics I ever read, I thought he was cool until he spoke
Kangs Mini series 5 issues kinda fixed all that tbh
The loop is explained clearly
And it makes you fully understand his character
Then after that
Just read timeless
Wow, “Kancel Kang” sure came back around, lol
"There's opportunities for us to Cancel Kang in the future"
Little did he know....
Honestly I love Kang as a walking paradox of a character. Like he doesnt even know his origins and everything.
I'll admit that Kang made for a decent villain in Lego Marvel 2. Plus the game's version of Chronopolis was a pretty fun hub world.
I just imagine the people working on the MCU looking at Kang's backstory and letting out a long sigh
“How the hell do we streamline this?!”
"Kang sucks. But! He is also boring."
Well, I'm sold!
Who would’ve guessed this video title predicted the future of the MCU 😂
Can’t forgot the Scarlet Centurion that rules for a time in the Squadron Supreme universe. HE IS ALSO KANG…KANG THROUGH UNIVERSES AND ALSO DC ANALOGS
The most badass version of Kang is from Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. The Kang Dynasty three-parter is so awesome.
And he has the most badass line in that too: “Time to show the 21st Century, how I earned the title of CONQUERER.”
"You are not apart of the solution, Captain. You are the problem, and the answer is CONQUEST"
“I’ll save our entire timeline, even if I have to conquer this time to do it.”
Kancel Kang aged like a fine wine
I love how Sal stumbles into the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis at 27:50.
I coincidentally watched Citizen Kane like 3 days ago and I spend this entire back issues trying to figure out how it tied into that at all
I think Gilgamesh was an Avenger for like a second. The roster was him, Cap, Thor, Invisible Woman, and Mister Fantastic. Maybe during Inferno?
Correct. He joined in Avengers #300
Wasn't Steve also going as the captain at the time?
@@tster he was
@@HaussmannComics
"The Captain! (His Name Is 'The Captain')!"

NEXTWAVE!
Look at your Kang. Now back to me. Now Back to Kang. Now back to me. I am also Kang. Look, up in the ceiling! Another Kang! Ready to step in when he and I inevitably fail. Could that one be Immortus? Possibly.
after watching this i have this mental image of kang celebrating his great win, slipping on a banana peel and dying then a second kang appears from outta no were yelling about how the first kang was stupid and hes the real kang not seeing the banana peel and slipping on it as well
Avengers Forever has to be done if only for the scene of Kang with the guns
Well the title of the video aged well. 🤣
You know what they say: Too many kangs spoil the broth. A kang in the hand is worth two in the bush. The early Kang gets the other Kang. A Kang a day keeps the Kang away. Never count your Kangs before they hatch. And of course the old classic. The best laid Kangs of Mice and Men shall often go astray.
The first few minutes of this episode aged like a fine wine lol
My only exposure to kang was earths mightiest heroes and from what I remember he was imposing
Kang isn't just Kang, he is Immortus, Kid Immortus, Pharaoh Rama-Tut who ruled over Egypt when En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse was young, the Scarlet Centurion, Victor Timely and Mister Gryphon.
Yeah
You forgot The Sphinx who fought Nova when he started out
"Kang is stupid, BUT... he's also REALLY boring."
I don’t know why were doing this… Well that’s the best opening to a back issues episode ever.
My personal favorite is something like well it's Summertime ratings are in the toilet
Damn the "cancel Kang" thing from this episode aged very well...
Ethan asking about the Bootstrap Paradox was great, always love their questions. 6:12
I know Sal already mentioned it in the video, but the recent Kang mini by Kelly and Lanzing is really great and probably the best way to get introduced to the character.
The Thor at the gas station with the map is one of my favourite scenes in all of comic dom
I was hoping someone would make comparisons between the council of Ricks when Sal brought up the council of Kangs. Sure enough, they did lol
I would kill for a story about a time traveler war between Kang & Reverse Flash.
it’s official i fucks with y’all!
comic knowledge and well explanations aside. i like the chemistry man. just sum regular ass friends talkin comics
I want a story arc called “The Kulling of the Kanceled Kouncil of Kangs”
Editor's note: DO NOT ABBREVIATE UNDER ANY CISCUMSTANCES
@@alma3884052 there is an extra k, so i think that's good
Unfortunalty the main kang or someone elsr kulled the kang concucil. This was decades ago. I think theyre gone?
The Black Sea was a fresh water lake. The “Great Flood” raised water levels enough to overflow the Bosporus (then land bridge) and made it into a salt water sea. That’s why there is a clear divide between salt and freshwater at a specific depth of the Black Sea.
A Kang episode? I wonder if Joel is going to show up somewhere and talk about the time baby lol.
27:50 that is something I did not expect I kind of just assumed you wouldn't have any interest in that
Marcus from Avengers 200?
Younger Dryas impact!
Kang has officially been cancelled
Kancelled. Thank you.
He got canned (Kanged?)
Kang was the main villain in the Spider-man/X-men: Time's Arrow trilogy of novels. So actually he has been involved in some X-men time travel shenanigans. Which I mention not to be an "Actually...." nerd but because those novels are actually worth a read.
"i dont know why we're doing this" one of those lines that tells you its gonna be a good episode
I was 30 minutes in and completely forgot that we hadn’t started the book yet. Lmao
Well… the title of this episode aged well
Or badly, depending on your perspective lol
There is a series by Rick Remender uncanny avengers. In it, kang and the apocalypse twins fight a unity squad of avengers (avengers and mutants).
Not trying to "um actually" just wanted to highlight a good book. Thanks for everything you guys do.
I wonder how many times they each said "kang" in this episode
1:29 That kang the conqueror mini series is REALLY good and I hope it is talked about on back issues one day cause I think it might result in a lot of hilarity
The council of kangs! This is a best of the worst style book and I love it! Yall the best!
Ben spent all day waxing the fantasticar, they had to go slowly so everyone could see that wax job.😂
And when he was Immortus, he orchestrated a bunch of stuff using the Space Phantom to mess with Thor, Madame Hydra, Captain America, Vision, and Scarlet Witch, among others. No idea if you're ever gonna be able to go over any of that, but I'd love to see it. And the related X-Men arc about Number 2, the sentinel flew too close to the sun.
And the Captain America arc where Madame Hydra was introduced, that retroactively became involved with the convoluted Space Phantom thing. And the arc right after that where Falcon is introduced.
Really, there are a lot of things I want you guys to cover because of how weird they get, but don't really have specific titles, so I don't know if they'd really work for videos.
1:30 they predicted kang getting booted
The life of Kang the Conqueror is literrally the plot of Dark.
This was a really fun episode and I immediately thought this was gonna be a marvelized citizen Kane about Kang but. I was still surprised by the story.
I love listening to these high, thanks for the great conversations
“I don’t know why we’re doing this…”
Strap in y’all this is gonna be rough.
Heck yeah a Kang episode... oh it's just me..ok I'll see myself out
ComicPop never fails to cover (somewhat🤣) great stories with even greater laughs, you don't know how much I really needed this. You guys are amazing!... but please... for the love of god!🙏🏽... COVER MORE INJUSTICE!! I'M BEGGING YOU!😭
*Also...*
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!!! 😂
I love when you guys do these older runs.
At about 1hr 03mins in, I thought to myself: "ah, of course, he used a Dopple-Kanger"
Captain America dates Sersi. That's how he knows who Gilgamesh.
As soon as I knew my birthday would fall on a Wednesday, I knew apart of my festivities would be sitting down and enjoying a new Back Issues. And now the day has finally come.😁👌🏾
Thanks for the new episode! 😊
That deep fried Kang at 8:43 scared the shit out of me, I thought my phone broke 😂
I love that Sal didn't out together the sled name and citizen Kane/g
1:02:54 That’s what Sylvie did in the season finale of Loki too. I have Avengers Terminatrix and I got the reference🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's all the more ironic now that the Soviet rewrite of Kang's backstory literally makes him a 'Kang'. 'Kang of Kangs' as it were 🤨😳🤣
Boy after the first 4 minutes of this I could go for some Tang.....
Gilgamesh was a Brief Avenger under Captain America alongside Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. Of course Cap knows him
Thanks for a great video guys!
Kang was cool in Avengers Forever, if I remember correctly.
Gilgamesh was briefly an Avenger before this book.
Do I finally smell a chance for ComicPOP to do Avengers Forever
Sal calling Reed a "Gossiping Bitch" is hilarious
#KangcelCulture 😂
So, is the Terminatrix Objective the sequel to this story and will there be a future Back Issues on it?
I love how these old runs can get real nonsensical, at the turn of a page, and the folks on the couch just embrace it (or not lol).
This Kang conquer story just seems so super confusing and frankly doesn’t feel like a avengers story but a complete and utter mess.
Ah sweet, about to take a walk and this pops up! Thought this was Kang dynasty for a second lol, but I'm sure that'll come with the movie haha
Kang is handled very awkwardly in the comics, but I like how the MCU is handling him so far. If done well it could be better than the comics themselves. Excited for the next ant-man film to see where it goes. Also wanted to mention that as far as I know the one time Kang messed with X-men stuff was when they combined with the avengers (uncanny avengers), which makes a lot of sense since he's primarily an avengers villain (and sometimes FF).
@Brandon Paul I agree, B.P! Thanos was handled really well in the MCU, so I think Lang will be handled too. If the Beyonder shows up in the MCU, they should have in a important role for Secret Wars given it started with him anyway. But, don’t make him the focal point because his story is wild AF!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marcushamner5994 Now that you mention it, the only thing i'm thinking now is we somehow get black suit spider-man during secret wars like in the comics. That'd be neat.
@@BrandonPaul with the rumors going around from Cosmic Wonder and Comic Pop Official, we could get it, bro! We saw a piece of the Symbiote in Spider-Man No Way Home! That would be EPIC!! I’ve been following Comic Pop since day one. Sal, Ben, Ethan and Tiffany (Sal’s wife) are hilarious! What do you think of the phase 4 so far, Brandon?
@@marcushamner5994 I didn't see the first three movies or black panther, but I liked spider-man and doctor strange for this phase. Thor was alright but I thought it was a bit too whacky. Wandavision and Loki were great. I didn't really love hawkeye or falcon outside of the action scenes. She-Hulk really made me angry in a bad way and I haven't seen moon knight or what if yet.
@@BrandonPaul Moon Knight is awesome, bro! I have the comics, and Marc Spector is my favorite hero! He’s Marvel’s answer to Batman LOL. You’re not the only one who had iffy thoughts about Thor Love and Thunder. People said Thor 4 was too jokey lol. Your comment on She-Hulk had me rolling LOL! I thought She -Hulk Attorney At Law was awesome! I know some people were not fans of She-Hulk, but what was your disdain for it?
Cap goes back in time to ancient Babylonia? Maybe he can help Gilgamesh, Leonidas, Ushiwakamaru and Merlin defend Uruk from Medusa (if you get this refrence you get a crisp high-five)
They need to find a way to whale a useless goddess. Perhaps with all the gems in Gilgamesh’s vault?
This ep was fucking great! Thank you so much, you bois are hilarious!
Hey Professor, Gilgamesh was a freakn Avenger with Captain America . That's how he knows him. Otherwise you're right, nobody else would know any of tue Freakn Eternals
There actually is a conncection between Kang and X-men shananigans.
When Kang is Rama Tut he interacts with En Saba Nur in the ancient Egypt.
Is there explanation as to why Dr Druid used to be bald but now has hair in this comic? Did he use magic to get hair or is it a hair piece?
Yep I'm definitely gonna have to watch this one over
The best Kang ever was, was in Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Immortus and Rama Tut get referenced in X-Men the Animated Series episode Beyond Good and Evil, and X-Men Evolution respectively.
So it's not a time travel story but Kang (Rama tut) is part of apocaypses back story. Or was at least since arakoa time-line probably undid that
It really seems that Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes sold me a Kang that is way badass than... well, i suppose its hard to mantain coolnes after all those years with a character that is mostly based on the most confusing trope in all media (and also that seems to be often overshadowed with other cooler players)
I guess more streamlined Kang can really work
Thats what cartoon adaptations do well. They can take messy canon abd charaxterization and make it work. Avengers EMH also, imo, has the best version of hznk pym who is likable somtimes somehow. A good dc example is terra's story in the teen titans cartoon vs the comic version.
The comic version had terra fucking deathstroke, she was still under 18 here. She was portrayed as a crazed girl who was the real villain and her death was deserved. Deathstroke was at one point played as also a victim. Yeah the cartoon version whosr death is tragic was done better.
“When I was a religious scholar” ?!?!?! New Comicpop lore just dropped
"A gang of Punisher fans" You mean cops?
Jesus Christ, I love Comic Pop so damn much.
My favorite part was when the council of Kangs all unanimously said “its Kangin time” and then Kanged all over the place
This joke stopped being funny ages ago and now it is actively annoying.
@@owenleal such is the life cycle of a meme.
@@owenleal ah, don't worry. It will swing around in another 3 years and be funny and noststalgic again.
@@owenleal its still funny☆
The bad ones are always so good
"Its not the snap that makes it work--"
I want to hear this rant, because I myself have been saying it since Endgame
The Herb Trimpe art in this is kind of cool in my opinion. It’s like Leifeld’s style combined with better anatomy and just better basic illustration skills. I don’t feel the same second hand embarrassment looking at it as I feel with most Leifeld art.
Yeah my thoughts exactly. It’s like if an actual seasoned professional did one of those “draw this thing in multiple peoples styles” thing from the internet for an entire comic book chapter.
Can you guys do Acts of Vengeance someday! I know the collected trade is a bit pricey but a lot of important stuff happened in it for the Avengers and X-Men..
Late-80s to Late-90s Avengers always reminded me of He-Man characters (as I remember from childhood): Massive muscles and clashing colors.
