This whole situation is tiresome incredibly frustrating to witness but hopefully this is a sign of change that is coming. I'm sure they see all the controversy this has spawned and over the course of the last month they have been course correcting I think this PR disaster is a blessing in disguise as it will motivate them to work harder on improving their quality control.
I would love to see Dr. Doom as the next Thanos of the MCU, but I don’t want him to replace Kang. I want to see Kang in the MCU and I would be incredibly disappointed if they abandoned him. And I’m not saying that I want Jonathan Majors to still play him or that he’s innocent, I’d rather wait to see what happens when the legal case ends, I’m saying I would be disappointed if they got rid of Kang as the villain of the next couple phases because I love Kang and he was great in EMH and if the MCU makes him like he was in EMH, I’d be so happy.
I think that they should stick with Kang as the big bad. I feel that if they change it will be worse since they have been building up Kang as a the big bad and then suddenly changing it to Dr. Doom would cause more problems down the line.
I think once everything is settled Feige needs to take a deep breathe and reexamine all of the pieces on the board then figure iut how to move forward with them one step at a time. I do think an Avengers movie before Kang Dynasty is necessary as it could really help restablish the foundation and addrress things that need it.
Marvel needs to press the pause button, reevaluate their slate, and make their upcoming lineup more focused, especially on the multiverse. I think they should ditch the tv shows and special presentations and release 2-3 films a year that focuses on a character or a group, but also building the multiverse saga, like what they did in phase 1-3
I agree they should ditch the shows they are currently working on but the shows can be great if they pick the right stories and make them at least an hour and 9 episodes because I think the midnight suns, prehistoric avengers and molecule man to name a few would be great shows if done right like Loki, wandavision and even Luke Cage were all really good shows it gives them time to world build, character development and lead into the climax in a way that gets the audience invested. Ironheart & Echo are characters I know little about and don't really want to see Namor is who I wanted to see more of after WF not the girl in her iron man suit
Hey man good to see you, yeah this is really bad, definitely need to focus on more things people like we are past the golden age for marvel, they need to get it together
I think Marvel really needs to listen to the fans. Not the grifters who farm their controversies for every view they can gain. But the actual fans who want the franchise to be better in spite of everything.
Yes… but do it carefully bc not everything fans want is a good idea, remember Fans were asking for a Black Widow movie and when they finally did it we end up with one of the worst and most disappointing MCU movies ever
Bro I saw this comin from a mile away, after the past flops back to back and actor drama, I knew they where shitting bricks behind the scenes wondering how to salvage the already filmed projects…
Well I'm glad I got to hear this depressing news from YOU. You're one of the few people that I trust to not blame every problem on "wokeness" or some such BS.
This also kind of sucks because some of the stuff is out of Marvel's Direct control with a lot of leadership changes happening at Disney and a pandemic messing up their schedule a lot of this was unavoidable but hopefully this article in the ensuing controversy was enough of a wake-up call to motivate the Marvel team to get the quality control back on track.
Really happy you decided to give us a video on this… I was excited to see your opinion on this and I was even more excited to see you cover it in a whole video
If Marvel Studios hadn’t fired James Gunn the first time I don’t think any of this would be happening, because Gunn was going to be 2nd in command for the next few phases. Gunn got offered the entire DC and he bolted. I would’ve done the same. Fiege’s a smart dude he’ll get this shit right again.
The real problem here is the “line always goes up” mentality of all corporations, especially movie studios. Every one of these shows and movies would’ve done perfectly well if the budget wasn’t $350 million. The studio being so super involved in the filmmaking is limiting the stories that CAN be told as well as forcing the teams behind these movies to push out half-baked products. In my mind, an ideal situation would be a tiered system of expansion. Give visionaries and passionate directors free reign over the stories they tell with the characters they love, and connect the stories after the fact. I would rather the MCU feel like a universe, not a narrative.
Crazy to see this happening in real time… im confident if they just make solid projects again they can get momentum going like before… but its wild to see when you grew up on this, and now so much is turning to poop :/
I’d say the best thing is to make a multiversal Avengers movie in phase 5 with Kang as the main antagonist, and have a tease he’ll come back. Then you can do another one or two Avengers movies where Kang returns, but Doom is also there (courtesy of Fantastic 4) and kills Kang, so Doom can actually be the one behind Secret Wars.
This fully feels like a publication push to create changes they want. To even hint at the original avengers returning is a disservice to Endgame and phase 4 trying to set up whatever is about to pay off with Loki and Kang heading into the multiversal war. To not utilize all these strings they’ve set up in phase 4, to just throw the old gang back on screen to fight Kang or a big bad would be a disservice even if it is a good box office hit. This would rather suggest that marvel is all about the money now, and not a connected universe with care for the characters. And while I get the Majors situation, we just saw what happened to Johnny Depp and what that did to his career and all the major roles he lost due to allegations. Until Majors is proven guilty in the court, to suggest these things marvel is doing behind closed doors is just a campaign to try and create a narrative that they are trying to replace him. When clearly they are sticking with Majors currently, as Loki is a big deal and he’s been in recent marvel movies/shows as Kang in his variant roles. Hollywood is a twisted place when they want to paint a narrative in any manner they wish.
Tbh I think kang is a great character for this phase and a perfect way to reset the continuity by the end of secret wars. The problem is the writing and trying to cater to specific groups instead of catering to the fans and what we want. Stories have been so dull lately and it’s not because these characters just aren’t interesting, it’s because the storytelling has been cheeks. Iron man went out like a g and now they’re just gonna bring him back to make money. Crazy. Other than Loki this entire thing has just been a disservice
I really hope Blade is good. We need it to be good to have a chance to have a Ghostrider, Blade, Moonknight, and Dr. Strange movie. (I forgot the the name when they team up-- Midnight Suns?) We don't need the old Avengers back. We just need less projects that are made with the care the old movies were made with.
@@rzn2258 Movies with as many delays as Blade has had are rarely good, but it was gonna be mostly CG anyway, so maybe it's be decent action even if the story is shit
I like the idea of Kang (if Antman Kang was the main villain) losing and then getting stronger until Dysnasty. The variants idea is cool too, like there is no main villain but main villains as a group. I think it has no proper impact in audience (like thanos did) because they say he/they is/are dangerous but we just see him losing (to giant ants and to retire at the end of time).
I mean the Kang that we saw in the Quantum is literally the weakest version since there IS NO TIME in the Quantum Realm. And even with all his advanced tech without being able to manipulate time he is nothing
For the blade and Jonathon majors situation, I don’t mind them doing it just the timing is terrible . For majors , why do it now when it looks like he still might win and after releasing the 2nd season of a show that builds him up to be the main villain (and is doing a pretty good job at it ) . If it was when the news came out abt him and his girl , I wouldn’t have minded it cause it’s the smart thing to do in that situation. Blade, again I’m glad their getting a good writer who’s known for writing some good to great movies . And it also shows that blade will most likely be rated R. I’m glad their doing that , but why did it take 5 different writers and almost having the lead actor leave the movie to finally get a decent writer ?
Forgot to mention the avengers stuff lol. They said avengers movie, never specified a new avengers movie that hasn’t been announced or like secret wars and Kang dynasty. If it’s SW and KD, it makes sense since their already rumored to be bringing back a lot of the fox heroes and Toby’s Spider-Man
Pisses me off how Jeremy Renner was accused of domestic violence with his own wife and still got his Hawkeye Series made and released. It's like it got swept under the rug. During his divorce settlement, his wife made serious allegations against him, including physical abuse, drug abuse, and death threats. Not saying I even care about their personal business but its an interesting dynamic when Jonathan Majors is alleged of similar actions with his then girlfriend and all of a sudden they want to change the whole MCU slate around.
@KushManu Majors situation isn't even him being some jealous woman abuser he was trying to get his phone back from his girl which he's entitled to do within reason and she plays the victim and him being black makes it worse it was said the cops made racist statements and told the GF to make up an elaborate story. If he's innocent then he should stay and there should be no rush to judgement
True marvel fans just need to be patient and see how it goes because I love the movies and shows. Yeah there are some mistakes and bad story telling but every studio has that look at DCEU.
Idk about scraping the whole TV series idea, many of the shows are actually building up to become better, like Loki, Ms marvel hopefully season 2 gets better but season one was great. Having a show do their own thing would help make revenue to marvel studios, but also keep them in the same universe, so when they are needed the characters can have a cliff hanger by end of season and then boom into the next film. Everything to be spread apart shouldn't have been stretched out the way it is , but I can see that the shows and movies are building the major plot more and more
It's getting harder, but I'm also hanging in there, hoping things will improve for the MCU. I also agree that they need to ditch the TV shows, and go back to just the movies. I'd like to see LucasFilm do the same for Star Wars.
In my opinion I feel like just because Ant-Man 3 failed at the box office doesn’t mean that people don’t care about Kang, it means that they didn’t do a good job of making him intimidating. I don’t think they should replace Kang just because of that. If they make another project with him in it where they do a better job of making him intimidating the movie will probably do fine.
The fans are always right, because the fans are the ones who pay your salary. Your goal is to get the fans to pay you, which means you have to give them something they are willing to pay for. Why is this obvious truth no longer so obvious?
Its no surprise that they reached this point. They are the real test to how to really explore a whole universe with thousands of heros and what clearly is not enough time or money to dive into it the way it could. They might need ten companies worth of workers to get things right if they cant slow things down
I agree that the amount of marvel content coming out at once really takes away the surprise and suspense of the mcu because you already know what to expect because of all the shows coming out at once. And they definitely should’ve just hinted at king like they did thanos, that can’t be the first thing you show in an entire saga dedicated to him. 🤷♂️
Clicked So Fast 😁 As Soon As I Saw The Notification 😊 Also Thank You For the Great Spook ya Mamma Season 🎃 Gonna miss The Awesome Set but looking forward to Next Year 👍 and Hopefully Marvel Can get It Together Cause This Drama is So Tiring 😪
I’d love to see Dr Doom as the next big bad but for marvel to replace Kang (Jonathan Majors) is so crazy because since this Multiverse Saga started Kevin and Folks at Marvel have said Kang is going to be bigger than thanos and everything. Majors is an incredible actor even outside the MCU and it feels like Majors is being cheated out of. Now bringing back RDJ and Scarlett I’m kinda mixed on because seeing them brought back to life feels kinda cheap especially when they have other characters sort of continuing their legacy but on the other hand I’d love to see iron man meet/know about mutants, F4 and all that I really think Marvel should stop with the Disney+ content. Other than Loki, Wandavision, Werewolf by Night and GOTG Holiday special have been the good things that have come out and the other shows have been copy and paste with the show ending with tons of questions which get answered in an upcoming movie 2-3 years later. And I think the heads of Marvel should cancel some upcoming projects like Agatha, Thunderbolts (sadly), Spider-Man freshman year. I would hate for marvel to just fully reboot and start from scratch when there’s so much stories and potential.
I hope everything works out with Majors and he stays as Kang, because I really like him in the role(s). The last two episodes of Loki have him be funny and serious and I love his performance(s).
Real world stuff aside. I never saw the real threat of kang. We seen 2 versions of him die or lose and even with a near endless supply of him he still doesn’t feel on the level of thanos. If they were to do Dr doom or Galactus I think that sounds like a bigger threat and more exciting to actually watch.
I'm worried about how they're going to do Dr Doom should he be the main villain of the current phase. Mostly because of how they're going to properly build him up to being the next major threat to the MCU as a whole and do justice to his overall character. I mean he's not just one of Marvel's most powerful and infamous villains but he's among comic book history's greatest villains of all time period. They can't afford to mess him up at this point especially since the last few attempts at him on screen hasn't been kind to him. Though the 05 and 07 FF movies to their credit at least did their best to be as faithful to him as possible at the time. Seriously the backlash against Marvel Studios would make the criticisms aimed at them now look like high praise in comparison should the studio manage to mess him up big time. In a way they actually should've just had Dr Doom as the main villain to begin with in this current phase mostly because not only would it give them enough time to make him a major threat and explore who he is but he also had a major role in the original Secret Wars comic so they can still do the Secret Wars movie as planned. They don't have to get rid of Kang though. They could've just had him be a regular character observing the events unfolding then once sEcret Wars is finished then he can make his move to set straight the timeline.
we've said this time & time again as fans but marvel really should consider to listen to the fans who want the franchise to be as good as it once was aside of everything. johnathan majors performance was the BEST part about quantumania. as a fan I have high hopes we'll see the golden mcu days nontheless. as always thanks for the sideflick chris!
I'm willing to let marvel and DC to fix their movies and get things going. For marvel they need to have less TV show, fix the vfx, and put a hold on movies if they can not meet the deadline they are expected to. For DC let them do their thing before pulling the plug without them even trying
Not always, when announced fans hated Hugh Jackman as wolverine, Michael Keaton as Batman, Heath Ledger as Joker, Robert Pattinson as Batman, Ben Affleck also as Batman
Nah fans can be wrong. Also there a true fans and there are MCU/Disney reactionaries, fighting a culture war , disguised as fans. They want it all to burn to the ground because their feelings are hurt.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608so the fans who don't agree with you aren't fans and have hurt feelings? It sounds like you're the one with hurt feelings, snowflake.
For me the Marvel era ended with Avengers Endgame, I don't give a shit about all the other Marvel superheroes (I haven't seen any Marvel movies after ENDGAME)
I don’t think they should bring them back because their story arch was ended perfectly. People should just be patient with the MCU. The movies where really good and I Have been following the MCU since day one. It needs to just be left alone and grow from what they have.
It seems they're finally making good decisions with the blade project but it's quite embarrassing that it's gotten to the point where this is when they start making good choices it's like why haven't they been making good choices from the very beginning?
This kind of news is why I’ve been rewatching previous marvel , dc films/series , and starting watching the fox marvels films. There not all but it’s both helpful keep me positive and entertaining.
as long as the Iron-Man and Black Widow revival movie is a prequel to endgame. I'm game, bc I believe the whole point of their upcoming films with Kang were to bring them back anyways. So, if they do this but make it a prequel UNTIL the true revival I'll be alright with watching that.
I don’t really care about the MCU nowadays, but I wanted to share my perspective on how disorganized the franchise seems to be nowadays. It’s kinda like DC and DCEU, there’s the drama, the messy storytelling and disorganization in not really connecting the stories as well as other films stuck in development or production like Blade like Flash before, etc. Just sad to see tbh. Hope they get their stuff fixed and right soon for the MCU fans that still care and still have the patience for it…
The poor boxoffice Performance for antman was well deserved. If they are going to put kang in a movie and not give us kang then what's the point of going to cinema to see it?
Kang have been great in Loki. Would be a shame if the Jonathan Majors trail puts that in jeopardy. I sure they mean they'll bring back the Avengers in Secret Wars with the Multiverse not like an actual average Avengers movie.
I saw this! Don’t kill me. But I would be fine with this change. You’re completely right. Thanos was exciting because of the way he was introduced. Just like Iron Man and Cap, the titan became a household name over night. Kang, eh, not so much. And to move him to the second saga rather than the 4th or 5th is too much. It gets confusing. The multiverse is such a cool concept but done to DEATH. They honestly should have stuck to regular Back to the Future time travel honestly. They aren’t even following their own rules anymore.
A few years back, the MCU used to be my damn life. I was known as the Marvel guy at my school, I constantly thought about Marvel, kept up with all of the movies, and spent a stupid amount of money on merch! Now, I still haven’t seen Secret Invasion and have no interest in seeing the Marvels, even though I love Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel and that clip looked fun. It’s just sad, man.
@@Snk13_ty yea, I know, I read some of those too, I never got super invested into them, but I read and owned a fair amount of comics, I just preferred the movies
I swear I went from seeing like 30 comments on this page, to now seeing almost 1,000. Keep up the great content Chris. This video here was juicy lol Let’s get Doctor Doom in the MCU.
You hit the nail on the head. When they started introducing tv shows to the MCU, that's when things got so messy. Even I can't keep up and starting skipping the movies because I am so far behind watching the shows. Scrap the tv shows and do what you do best marvel.
The MCU recently has been nothing but a mess. Many ideas, storylines, and forgettable characters. It doesn’t shock me that this is happening. The superhero trend is coming to an end.
Fake news the superhero train is not gonna die I mean we have invincible Marvel and DC and the boys plus the MCU will bounce back up just don’t be doom and gloom.
@@cybersoldierforever all that (tho I haven’t seen Gen V yet), plus, for me personally, My Hero Academia and One Punch Man 👌 Can’t wait for Invincible this Friday 🔥🔥
The “anti-woke” bros are actually winning… with the South Park special and now this… this has just added so much fuel to their fire, we’ll never hear the end of it from them.
I have to say I don’t understand why marvel keeps scrapping characters instead of just recasting them. I think people would understand if they recasted Kang right now. Imagine if they would have just scrapped the hulk instead of recasting him. They keep making it harder on themselves then it has to be.
The best choice is for the MCU is to go with Deadpool 3 and jump straight in Secret Wars (Beyonder and/or Doctor Doom). Kang can be a heir to Beyonder or Doom and the Kang in Ant-Man 3 was killed off truly. Then we follow a new universe of Avengers from SW and they can do Fantastic 4 and X-Men there instead. Its the best possible outcome, because they are churning out content like its nothing, but many of other projects like Blade and Thunderbolts have been left in the dust. They need to slow the hell down.
I pray that things work out for Johnathan Majors. I like Kang as a villain, and Johnathan Majors has been becoming one of my favorite actors. If is God is good and real, please fix this. 🙏🙏
This Whole MCU drama has got me disappointed, I remember when they were on good tracks but ever since phase 4 started it's just been disappointing but hopefully a miracle happens and gets them back on track❤
If there was a Phase where they could easily replace the actor and tell the audience that its the same character and we wouldn't even blink... It would the MULTIVERSE phase. Its called the multiverse for a reason. Kang can look different in some other universe.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the case gets resolved out of court like so many other cases before, but with Majors not having any representation, how will Marvel (re)hire him? I think the next best thing is to recast and blame it on multiversal glitches or whatever happens on Loki S2 or just don’t acknowledge it and pretend it’s been that way since the beginning.
Jonathan majors will be fine with the evidence they have that he’s innocent there’s no way he’ll be found guilty people need to calm down lol there footage of her after the *fight* with no marks he’s innocent. Everything will be fine
Yea its weird how everyone seems to think he is gonna lose, just because a case doesnt get dismissed doesnt mean they are guilty, it just means whichever person looked over the case is an idiot lol But either way evidence is evidence people forget this weirdly often
People are stupid all these RUclipsrs think he’s guilty because they don’t pay attention to anything besides the bad stuff. Like I’ve seen the footage of her with no injuries he’s so obviously innocent 😭😭 people need to do there research before talking about about a subject. It’s so frustrating, I feel bad for him
YES! FINALLY! Marvel studios finally understands! They completely screwed up every time they killed off almost all the most iconic characters in marvel! I'm so glad they're doing this! But how will they do it? I don't want them to just bring them back from the past or from another universe into the main universe. These characters are already dead. The best idea would be to just start over and give us a new mcu that takes place in a new universe, where these characters are played by new actors. And didn't we hear news that they were gonna reboot the mcu after secret wars? I personally really enjoyed ant man quantumania, and i'm really looking forward to the marvels when it comes out. So I don't mind that. The only thing I hate about the mcu is that they're killing off characters left and right, almost every time they make a new project. But about the "bringing back dead characters" thing, they should just reboot the entire mcu and get new actors to play these dead characters. The damage has already been done. But at least they're TRYING to fix what I consider to be the mcu's biggest problem.
Since all the Kangs are in once location, have dr doom kill all of them and absorb their power to create Battleworld. This happened in the secret Wars comic when he killed all the molecule man's, so you can easily replicate it here.
I guess it’s up to me to save the MCU: Bring back Jon Favreau Bring back the Russo brothers Give the mark ruffalo Hulk a proper movie No more MCU shows (except Loki, moon knight and daredevil) Make a Tom hardy Venom vs Tom Holland Spider-Man movie Give us Deadpool 3 I will now take my payment in cash please 😊
"Woke bro " take or not, you CANNOT DENY or ignore the fact that the feminization of the mcu has ruined it. They focused on politics before story, and this is where its lead us. Rude awakening or not, its the cold hard truth. And there is no arguing that, point blank.
Kevin Feige already got his Mangum Opus with End Game. He needs to let go of some control over things and let others take reign and he just makes sure things stay on track. COVID really messed them up, forcing them to push shit out to keep the industry from collapsing and their knees are buckling.
If anything this tells me that the Superhero genre is in its dying stages, of course it won’t die off completely but you can tell that it’s no longer the big thing in Hollywood that would make movie studios easy money.
This whole situation is tiresome incredibly frustrating to witness but hopefully this is a sign of change that is coming. I'm sure they see all the controversy this has spawned and over the course of the last month they have been course correcting I think this PR disaster is a blessing in disguise as it will motivate them to work harder on improving their quality control.

Thank you someone is speaking some sense not to mention it's been revealed the author is a known drama starter and liar
Tbh I think kang is a great character for this phase and a perfect way to reset the continuity by the end of secret wars. The problem is the writing and trying to cater to specific groups instead of catering to the fans and what we want. Stories have been so dull lately and it’s not because these characters just aren’t interesting, it’s because the storytelling has been cheeks. Iron man went out like a g and now they’re just gonna bring him back to make money. Crazy. Other than Loki this entire thing has just been a disservice
I really hope Blade is good. We need it to be good to have a chance to have a Ghostrider, Blade, Moonknight, and Dr. Strange movie. (I forgot the the name when they team up-- Midnight Suns?)
We don't need the old Avengers back. We just need less projects that are made with the care the old movies were made with.
You do know iron man is part of the midnight suns?
@@MrWhiteQT Cool, too bad he's dead
Keep hoping...
Because that ain't happening
@@rzn2258 Movies with as many delays as Blade has had are rarely good, but it was gonna be mostly CG anyway, so maybe it's be decent action even if the story is shit
I like the idea of Kang (if Antman Kang was the main villain) losing and then getting stronger until Dysnasty. The variants idea is cool too, like there is no main villain but main villains as a group. I think it has no proper impact in audience (like thanos did) because they say he/they is/are dangerous but we just see him losing (to giant ants and to retire at the end of time).
Fr
I mean the Kang that we saw in the Quantum is literally the weakest version since there IS NO TIME in the Quantum Realm. And even with all his advanced tech without being able to manipulate time he is nothing
For the blade and Jonathon majors situation, I don’t mind them doing it just the timing is terrible . For majors , why do it now when it looks like he still might win and after releasing the 2nd season of a show that builds him up to be the main villain (and is doing a pretty good job at it ) . If it was when the news came out abt him and his girl , I wouldn’t have minded it cause it’s the smart thing to do in that situation. Blade, again I’m glad their getting a good writer who’s known for writing some good to great movies . And it also shows that blade will most likely be rated R. I’m glad their doing that , but why did it take 5 different writers and almost having the lead actor leave the movie to finally get a decent writer ?
Forgot to mention the avengers stuff lol. They said avengers movie, never specified a new avengers movie that hasn’t been announced or like secret wars and Kang dynasty. If it’s SW and KD, it makes sense since their already rumored to be bringing back a lot of the fox heroes and Toby’s Spider-Man
Pisses me off how Jeremy Renner was accused of domestic violence with his own wife and still got his Hawkeye Series made and released. It's like it got swept under the rug. During his divorce settlement, his wife made serious allegations against him, including physical abuse, drug abuse, and death threats. Not saying I even care about their personal business but its an interesting dynamic when Jonathan Majors is alleged of similar actions with his then girlfriend and all of a sudden they want to change the whole MCU slate around.
@@KushManuI never knew about jermey renner situation pretty sad how it got zero attention like majors did.
@KushManu Majors situation isn't even him being some jealous woman abuser he was trying to get his phone back from his girl which he's entitled to do within reason and she plays the victim and him being black makes it worse it was said the cops made racist statements and told the GF to make up an elaborate story. If he's innocent then he should stay and there should be no rush to judgement
Imagine supporting Jonathan mysoginistic bigot
Technically if they did KANG right in ant man the movie would have made more money. Loki is handling KANG pretty good but quantumani just full dudded
True marvel fans just need to be patient and see how it goes because I love the movies and shows. Yeah there are some mistakes and bad story telling but every studio has that look at DCEU.
Idk about scraping the whole TV series idea, many of the shows are actually building up to become better, like Loki, Ms marvel hopefully season 2 gets better but season one was great. Having a show do their own thing would help make revenue to marvel studios, but also keep them in the same universe, so when they are needed the characters can have a cliff hanger by end of season and then boom into the next film. Everything to be spread apart shouldn't have been stretched out the way it is , but I can see that the shows and movies are building the major plot more and more
“MCU” and “Drama” are two words that are becoming more and more common
😂😂😂
They need to vet their talent better. By all accounts JM has a few screws loose. Same goes for DC hiring Ezra Miller.
It's getting harder, but I'm also hanging in there, hoping things will improve for the MCU. I also agree that they need to ditch the TV shows, and go back to just the movies. I'd like to see LucasFilm do the same for Star Wars.
In my opinion I feel like just because Ant-Man 3 failed at the box office doesn’t mean that people don’t care about Kang, it means that they didn’t do a good job of making him intimidating.
I don’t think they should replace Kang just because of that. If they make another project with him in it where they do a better job of making him intimidating the movie will probably do fine.
Nobody is hype for Marvel stuff anymore. Disney has ruined this franchise.
The fans are always right, because the fans are the ones who pay your salary. Your goal is to get the fans to pay you, which means you have to give them something they are willing to pay for. Why is this obvious truth no longer so obvious?

Its no surprise that they reached this point. They are the real test to how to really explore a whole universe with thousands of heros and what clearly is not enough time or money to dive into it the way it could. They might need ten companies worth of workers to get things right if they cant slow things down
I agree that the amount of marvel content coming out at once really takes away the surprise and suspense of the mcu because you already know what to expect because of all the shows coming out at once. And they definitely should’ve just hinted at king like they did thanos, that can’t be the first thing you show in an entire saga dedicated to him. 🤷♂️
Just do special presentations because Werewolf by Night was fantastic and I want more Konshu. He’s underrated as hell in the MCU.
Seconded. Love Khonshu!
Clicked So Fast 😁 As Soon As I Saw The Notification 😊 Also Thank You For the Great Spook ya Mamma Season 🎃 Gonna miss The Awesome Set but looking forward to Next Year 👍 and Hopefully Marvel Can get It Together Cause This Drama is So Tiring 😪
I’d love to see Dr Doom as the next big bad but for marvel to replace Kang (Jonathan Majors) is so crazy because since this Multiverse Saga started Kevin and Folks at Marvel have said Kang is going to be bigger than thanos and everything. Majors is an incredible actor even outside the MCU and it feels like Majors is being cheated out of.
Now bringing back RDJ and Scarlett I’m kinda mixed on because seeing them brought back to life feels kinda cheap especially when they have other characters sort of continuing their legacy but on the other hand I’d love to see iron man meet/know about mutants, F4 and all that
I really think Marvel should stop with the Disney+ content. Other than Loki, Wandavision, Werewolf by Night and GOTG Holiday special have been the good things that have come out and the other shows have been copy and paste with the show ending with tons of questions which get answered in an upcoming movie 2-3 years later. And I think the heads of Marvel should cancel some upcoming projects like Agatha, Thunderbolts (sadly), Spider-Man freshman year. I would hate for marvel to just fully reboot and start from scratch when there’s so much stories and potential.
Stopping is the key for Marvel. They need a break, the size of a year. I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s the 100% truth.
I hope everything works out with Majors and he stays as Kang, because I really like him in the role(s). The last two episodes of Loki have him be funny and serious and I love his performance(s).
Tom really brings humor and heart to loki

How ? Morbius 2 is still in question
Hey it's you!

@@El_Nightmare exactly Sony owns the live action rights to Spider-Man and his characters
Real world stuff aside. I never saw the real threat of kang. We seen 2 versions of him die or lose and even with a near endless supply of him he still doesn’t feel on the level of thanos. If they were to do Dr doom or Galactus I think that sounds like a bigger threat and more exciting to actually watch.
Galactus is a f4 threat, not a real threat that you'd build up to. Dr Doom is not a one off villain either.
Makes sense…. Every time they write themselves into a corner in the comics, they end up time traveling or reviving fan favorite characters
that South Park special just had to open pandoras box🤣
I'm worried about how they're going to do Dr Doom should he be the main villain of the current phase. Mostly because of how they're going to properly build him up to being the next major threat to the MCU as a whole and do justice to his overall character. I mean he's not just one of Marvel's most powerful and infamous villains but he's among comic book history's greatest villains of all time period. They can't afford to mess him up at this point especially since the last few attempts at him on screen hasn't been kind to him. Though the 05 and 07 FF movies to their credit at least did their best to be as faithful to him as possible at the time. Seriously the backlash against Marvel Studios would make the criticisms aimed at them now look like high praise in comparison should the studio manage to mess him up big time.
In a way they actually should've just had Dr Doom as the main villain to begin with in this current phase mostly because not only would it give them enough time to make him a major threat and explore who he is but he also had a major role in the original Secret Wars comic so they can still do the Secret Wars movie as planned. They don't have to get rid of Kang though. They could've just had him be a regular character observing the events unfolding then once sEcret Wars is finished then he can make his move to set straight the timeline.
we've said this time & time again as fans but marvel really should consider to listen to the fans who want the franchise to be as good as it once was aside of everything. johnathan majors performance was the BEST part about quantumania. as a fan I have high hopes we'll see the golden mcu days nontheless. as always thanks for the sideflick chris!
I'm willing to let marvel and DC to fix their movies and get things going. For marvel they need to have less TV show, fix the vfx, and put a hold on movies if they can not meet the deadline they are expected to.
For DC let them do their thing before pulling the plug without them even trying
The fans are always right and that is what Hollywood doesn't want to accept.
Yup, get woke go broke
Not always, when announced fans hated Hugh Jackman as wolverine, Michael Keaton as Batman, Heath Ledger as Joker, Robert Pattinson as Batman, Ben Affleck also as Batman

For me the Marvel era ended with Avengers Endgame, I don't give a shit about all the other Marvel superheroes (I haven't seen any Marvel movies after ENDGAME)
I don’t think they should bring them back because their story arch was ended perfectly. People should just be patient with the MCU. The movies where really good and I Have been following the MCU since day one. It needs to just be left alone and grow from what they have.
Had to click as soon as I saw the notification thanks for the video Chris
I feel like they should keep Kang in and do th Avengers Kang Dynasty movie and thy shoukd try and integrate Dr. Doom into the mcu via the f4 movie
Awesome video 3c films
It seems they're finally making good decisions with the blade project but it's quite embarrassing that it's gotten to the point where this is when they start making good choices it's like why haven't they been making good choices from the very beginning?
This kind of news is why I’ve been rewatching previous marvel , dc films/series , and starting watching the fox marvels films. There not all but it’s both helpful keep me positive and entertaining.
as long as the Iron-Man and Black Widow revival movie is a prequel to endgame. I'm game, bc I believe the whole point of their upcoming films with Kang were to bring them back anyways. So, if they do this but make it a prequel UNTIL the true revival I'll be alright with watching that.
Ending the video with “what would you do if you had the Kevin Feige hat other than smelling it” is so crazy 😂
I don’t really care about the MCU nowadays, but I wanted to share my perspective on how disorganized the franchise seems to be nowadays. It’s kinda like DC and DCEU, there’s the drama, the messy storytelling and disorganization in not really connecting the stories as well as other films stuck in development or production like Blade like Flash before, etc. Just sad to see tbh. Hope they get their stuff fixed and right soon for the MCU fans that still care and still have the patience for it…
The poor boxoffice Performance for antman was well deserved. If they are going to put kang in a movie and not give us kang then what's the point of going to cinema to see it?
Kang have been great in Loki. Would be a shame if the Jonathan Majors trail puts that in jeopardy. I sure they mean they'll bring back the Avengers in Secret Wars with the Multiverse not like an actual average Avengers movie.
I saw this! Don’t kill me. But I would be fine with this change. You’re completely right. Thanos was exciting because of the way he was introduced. Just like Iron Man and Cap, the titan became a household name over night. Kang, eh, not so much. And to move him to the second saga rather than the 4th or 5th is too much. It gets confusing. The multiverse is such a cool concept but done to DEATH. They honestly should have stuck to regular Back to the Future time travel honestly. They aren’t even following their own rules anymore.
A few years back, the MCU used to be my damn life. I was known as the Marvel guy at my school, I constantly thought about Marvel, kept up with all of the movies, and spent a stupid amount of money on merch! Now, I still haven’t seen Secret Invasion and have no interest in seeing the Marvels, even though I love Iman Vellani’s Ms. Marvel and that clip looked fun. It’s just sad, man.

You hit the nail on the head. When they started introducing tv shows to the MCU, that's when things got so messy. Even I can't keep up and starting skipping the movies because I am so far behind watching the shows. Scrap the tv shows and do what you do best marvel.

Really like the way you spoke about the situation, too many critics being needlessy pessimistic and often too political. Subscribed for sure
The MCU recently has been nothing but a mess. Many ideas, storylines, and forgettable characters. It doesn’t shock me that this is happening. The superhero trend is coming to an end.
I know it's like they're just fucking with fans at this point
Fake news the superhero train is not gonna die I mean we have invincible Marvel and DC and the boys plus the MCU will bounce back up just don’t be doom and gloom.

You forget, this is a Multiverse phase that were in. They could just swap out Majors with another actor and say that's his variant

I have to say I don’t understand why marvel keeps scrapping characters instead of just recasting them. I think people would understand if they recasted Kang right now. Imagine if they would have just scrapped the hulk instead of recasting him. They keep making it harder on themselves then it has to be.
apparently secret wars is supposed to be a soft reboot, if so, then definitely
The thing is, that is 2027!!!!! Marvel has to keep fans interested (Deadpool 3 and f4 are very key)
The best choice is for the MCU is to go with Deadpool 3 and jump straight in Secret Wars (Beyonder and/or Doctor Doom). Kang can be a heir to Beyonder or Doom and the Kang in Ant-Man 3 was killed off truly. Then we follow a new universe of Avengers from SW and they can do Fantastic 4 and X-Men there instead. Its the best possible outcome, because they are churning out content like its nothing, but many of other projects like Blade and Thunderbolts have been left in the dust. They need to slow the hell down.
I pray that things work out for Johnathan Majors. I like Kang as a villain, and Johnathan Majors has been becoming one of my favorite actors. If is God is good and real, please fix this. 🙏🙏
He beats women. Thats ok with you as long as you like how he plays a character? Pretty weird. Dude ain’t Marlon Brando, he can easily be replaced.
The silver lining of him going to jail is that we won't have to suffer another mediocre marvel villain.
That blade reference u made was PERFECT! How we get a dr. Stange movie and wanda and America the damn stars!?
This Whole MCU drama has got me disappointed, I remember when they were on good tracks but ever since phase 4 started it's just been disappointing but hopefully a miracle happens and gets them back on track❤
If there was a Phase where they could easily replace the actor and tell the audience that its the same character and we wouldn't even blink... It would the MULTIVERSE phase. Its called the multiverse for a reason. Kang can look different in some other universe.
To be honestly I don’t even really care about the Mcu anymore, I really hope they can improve in the future!
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the case gets resolved out of court like so many other cases before, but with Majors not having any representation, how will Marvel (re)hire him? I think the next best thing is to recast and blame it on multiversal glitches or whatever happens on Loki S2 or just don’t acknowledge it and pretend it’s been that way since the beginning.
I’ve already been done with the MCU since Endgame.
After reading about what happened… Man…. Idk if they could fix all of this…
If we dont get a raving club scene with blood spraying from the spinklers in Blade, I will be very sad
Major’s portrayal of Kang in Quantumania was good. He was the best part of the film. A poor script and film is not his fault.
He's horribly miscast. Kang is not supposed to be a roided up and blk.
There’s so much evidence proving Jonathan’s innocence it’s so sad. They’re just trying to damage correct to appease twitter who already hate them.
the fact that there are multiple videos proving johnathan majors innocence and they're still going to trial is insane.
Now, the walls fully shatter
Marvel Studios somewhat went from awesome to.........WHA-BOOM!
There are many proves that his ex are playing victim n then suddenly keep trying to find new excuses to put him down, its crazybn frustrating wheww
Jonathan majors will be fine with the evidence they have that he’s innocent there’s no way he’ll be found guilty people need to calm down lol there footage of her after the *fight* with no marks he’s innocent. Everything will be fine
Yea its weird how everyone seems to think he is gonna lose, just because a case doesnt get dismissed doesnt mean they are guilty, it just means whichever person looked over the case is an idiot lol
But either way evidence is evidence people forget this weirdly often
People are stupid all these RUclipsrs think he’s guilty because they don’t pay attention to anything besides the bad stuff. Like I’ve seen the footage of her with no injuries he’s so obviously innocent 😭😭 people need to do there research before talking about about a subject. It’s so frustrating, I feel bad for him
YES! FINALLY! Marvel studios finally understands! They completely screwed up every time they killed off almost all the most iconic characters in marvel! I'm so glad they're doing this! But how will they do it? I don't want them to just bring them back from the past or from another universe into the main universe. These characters are already dead. The best idea would be to just start over and give us a new mcu that takes place in a new universe, where these characters are played by new actors. And didn't we hear news that they were gonna reboot the mcu after secret wars?
I personally really enjoyed ant man quantumania, and i'm really looking forward to the marvels when it comes out. So I don't mind that. The only thing I hate about the mcu is that they're killing off characters left and right, almost every time they make a new project.
But about the "bringing back dead characters" thing, they should just reboot the entire mcu and get new actors to play these dead characters. The damage has already been done. But at least they're TRYING to fix what I consider to be the mcu's biggest problem.

"Woke bro " take or not, you CANNOT DENY or ignore the fact that the feminization of the mcu has ruined it. They focused on politics before story, and this is where its lead us. Rude awakening or not, its the cold hard truth. And there is no arguing that, point blank.
Kevin Feige already got his Mangum Opus with End Game. He needs to let go of some control over things and let others take reign and he just makes sure things stay on track. COVID really messed them up, forcing them to push shit out to keep the industry from collapsing and their knees are buckling.
If anything this tells me that the Superhero genre is in its dying stages, of course it won’t die off completely but you can tell that it’s no longer the big thing in Hollywood that would make movie studios easy money.
