Majors found guilty and Marvel dropped him. Officially.

I love how the MCU failed in explaining Kang and building him up properly, relegating his appearances to both Loki seasons and Antman 3. Nobody was really afraid of Kang, you can understand that Thanos is much more intimidating of a main villain, but now Marvel gets a pass, gets to fire Majors, appear they're on the moral high ground in this whole thing and get time to get it right to try to rescue their failed decisions post Thanos. Wonder what this does to their slate in the future and if they push Avengers movies back to introduce the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom.

Doom is the natural choice for the Big Bad in Secret Wars, anyway. Kang never felt right to be that multiversal threat to me from the beginning. |

It took me a long time to find and buy the individual comics. I'm sure she'll enjoy it even if that's not the movie plot moving forward. I never watched Loki, or Antman 3, nor did I care enough about Kang way back when I used to collect comics to read his storyline, but it was a fun challenge hunting those down. |

Kang is just a dude with advanced technology; whereas, Thanos is a super strong alien. Thanos is always going to be more imposing for that reason. Kang did wipe out countless timelines, though. His body count is higher than Thanos’ for sure. |

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes made Kang a threat.
Because they had good writers.

"What IF...." season 2 kicked off. The first episode was pretty decent; a very dark and strong Blade Runner vibe.
They're going to release an episode a day up til New Year's Eve, I believe. |

I thought they were both awesome, really well done. I’ll watch 1602 next, for sure. Unfortunately those were the only three I was actually interested in but I’ll probably make my way through the others in time. |

The second What IF season wasn't as good on the whole as the first season but the finale makes up for it, especially the very last scene.
