The beauty of this is anyone can be Kang.

Best approach: Recast Kang, and simply don’t comment on the fact that he looks different. The characters don’t need to acknowledge it. It’s the same character played by a different actor, it’s happened before, it doesn’t need in-world explanations.

I got a Community notification for this?!

Phases 4 and 5 will hereon in be referred to as the “gas leak phases”

They always have the option of just not explaining why he looks different, like Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo.

I mean, just look at the upcoming offerings. It’s one lackluster offering after another:

It’s not a mystery. It’s a sequel to a movie that is nobody’s favortie, featuring three characters that are nobody’s favorites, with the implict need to have watched two TV series which even the biggest Marvel fans are getting burned out on. The first Captain Marvel movie was a much easier sell since it was an origin…

The panedmic changed movie-going habits that were already changing. People aren’t just going to go to whatever the big new movie is each weekend like they used to. The studios had a pretty solid 3-decade run where they were able to effectively open anything in summer or Thanksgiving-to-Christmas season and make money…

Obviously Disney/Marvel wants more money.

In the dozen years he’s been acting as Loki, he’s made 20 non-Marvel films. 

“ ‘Tell me about why should I do your movie.’” This apparently did not go over well in the room. “They were like, ‘Fuck you,’ And I was like, ‘Right on.’”

They are fucked and this trailer shows it. Frontloading it with clips of other better movies to build hype by association. And it doesn’t even work at building any hype - that first chunk with the Avengers nostalgia gives way to a quick sketch of the threat, setting the stakes, the music gains intensity and builds to…

Except “the report last week” was mostly nonsense, to folks who knew much about the film industry. Like the part where it claimed the director “didn’t care about the film” because she worked on another movie after being done shooting this one? Oh, you mean like the way Spielberg immediately started working on…

Fight Club at 9 is completely baffling. Like let’s be real, Fight Club is not a worse movie than Panic Room. Insane

It’s just a shame, that according to AV Club, Scorsese’s work will be largely forgotten because it is nothing but a celebration of “toxic masculinity”. Meanwhile, apparently, Eternals will replace Citizen Cane as the go-to movie for film school students to study.

I guess lists like this are destined to call forth “what about” reactions, but there are so many mediocre to bad films here (anybody who still hasn’t read this absolute destruction of Love, Actually should go do so: https://jezebel.com/i-rewatched-love-actually-and-am-here-to-ruin-it-for-al-1485136388) - but what…

One of the fascinating things about the MCU is how disparate these rankings are among different fans. There are some movies with near-consensus agreement (everyone loves Winter Soldier, pretty much everyone hates The Incredible Hulk), but beyond that....

Is Iron Man 3 a fun, quirky, weird, character-driven delight, or…

if I could inflict my opinion on the comments section here:

I’m disappointed we never got more Edward Norton as The Hulk/Banner. That’s not a dig at Ruffalo who has made the role all his own, but I always liked his portrayal of the character.
