Imagine trying to argue that people won’t know who Kingpin is, lmao. Touch grass, cranky.

You mean like how they had Sam Wilson become the new Captain America on a fucking streaming show and not in a major motion picture? Or had the debut of Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Kang The Conqueror?

I guess having a generic white suit be the person behind a campaign of manipulating racial tensions for their own goals is just too real for some people

+1. this article’s besmirching of Iron Man 3 is bad and the author should feel bad

Having the fate of the multiverse put in their hands is having “nothing interesting to do”? O-kay.

The mad lads and ladettes did it, they really did it. After the no show of Mephisto in WandaVision and Thunderbolt Ross in FATWS, I really wasn’t banking on Kang - or an iteration thereof - making an appearance in the 11th hour of an already established story Wizard of Oz style (though I did note last week that if…

There are many tropes I dislike because of how often they get trotted out. Screwing over a city/species/civilization/existence just so you can get your petty revenge is one of them.

They’re presented as different enough characters to me that I’m not phased at all. I also don’t see how a variant get’s shorthanded into a familial relation by people squicked out by this, as I see them as more of a warped reflection. Different lived experiences, different opinions, different height - go get some…

What’s even more interesting though is that the one time he does try and do the deed up close and personal, it’s against Thanos.

You’re not wrong, but I view the Loki of Thor 1 and Avengers as someone acting out of incredible desperation. It’s clearly not quite wild lashing out, as everything he does in those two films is schemed out in his head, but the plot of the first film has him do all of these things just for Odin’s approval of all…

But she didn’t due to COVID troubles messing around with the release schedules, so again, anything is really possible.

Point

I’m an only child so thankfully the concept is alien to me

Right???

Ah, but is it Throg, or is it normal Thor when he was turned into a frog by Loki in Thor #364? *adjusts nerd glasses*

Yeah, I understand the hints for that reason, but also if this is anything like the other D+ series, this still has to be somewhat self-contained as a story. Though they did debut Contessa Valentina Allegra etc etc in Falcon/Winter Soldier so I guess anything is possible.

they’re stabs of love

That holds true in the comics, but in the MCU specifically his motivation has always been to usurp Odin/Thor and get what he feels he’s owed rather than straight up murking them, as evidenced in The Dark World where he briefly was able to realise this via subversion rather than violence. In fact I’d say overall he’s…

If my female variant was that cute I totally would, YOLO

I don’t think Kang will appear in this show either, but unlike Mephisto in Wandavision, there are definite signs in this show (all but lit up in neon) pointing towards his general MCU existence. Renslayer, Alioth and Qeng Enterprises are all very Kang specific characters and things.
