Kang was 0-2.
He really wasn't.
Kang was 0-2.
I do wonder if the Ally McBeal tone for She-Hulk was ultimately the right approach. Going for a CGI She-Hulk doesn't work for a streaming show because you don't have the same amount of time to work on and find tune the model like you do for a summer blockbuster where you can spend a year working on it and making it look good. The CGI model for Jen just did not look good in most of the episodes she was in, and the money they spent on it looks like it was ultimately wasted.
Because Thanos won. Imagine Thanos lost in GOTG instead of Ronan but Marvel kept hyping him eventually winning. That's Kang before Majors got fired.Thanos in Infinity war wasn't Thanos coming into the next movie after Infinity War, either. Yet Infinity War is definitely his more popular appearance over Endgame.
And Kang losing once hardly makes him the Washington Generals.
That was a problem I had with Loki, but at least he was the main villain of a phase, not a saga.Because Thanos won. Imagine Thanos lost in GOTG instead of Ronan but Marvel kept hyping him eventually winning. That's Kang before Majors got fired.
Hindsight 20/20, makingKang the main villain ofQuantumania was ridiculous. It was a bad move.
Yeah I'm firmly in the "just recast Majors, no one is gonna really care" camp.I don't know why they just don't recast? They can still do Kang justice IMO if they feel the character is underwhelming. Idk looking back, I think they definitely should've recast Chadwick for BP but Ryan did not want to or he would walk.
Well, at least it's just an actor lost and not another director. For now.Aaron Pierre Says He’s Not Attached to Marvel’s ‘Blade’: ‘As the Project Evolved, I’m No Longer Part of That’
Aaron Pierre told Variety he is no longer attached to Marvel's upcoming 'Blade' film.variety.com
Not even hindsight really. Ant-Man isn't big enough for a Phase villain. He could be in the shadows okay, but nothing more than that.Hindsight 20/20, making Kang the main villain of Quantumania was ridiculous. It was a bad move.
They probably saw MODOK and decided Kang was needed to salvage the film.Not even hindsight really. Ant-Man isn't big enough for a Phase villain. He could be in the shadows okay, but nothing more than that.
Just an actor, not the director.Lost another director? This film ain't happening lol
I stand corrected. Still....this movie just feels cursedNot just an actor, not the director.
Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne were never fit to be the main Ant-Man and Wasp of the MCU. We needed Hank Pym and Janet. They are the better characters.
Edgar Wright who left the project and they were and are no longer beholden to. And frankly, he could've been overruled on that.tbf, that is more on Edgar Wright than Marvel's decision, when he specifically had chose Scott over Hank.
If not for his specific vision for his Ant-Man film (the movie we all know that he ultimately didnt ended up directing it), we could've had the classic Avengers line up in the first movie with Hank and Janet alongside the Big 3.
Kinda hard to overrule that when Scott is the main character of the movie and Wright had been hired at a time when the MCU hadn't even existed yet. Wright that had been more less attached to Ant-Man as far back as 2000 (when it was originally gonna be made by Artistan). And became attached again when Marvel Studios hired him in 2006. Because this was before Iron Man even came out, he was given creative freedom to do whatever he wanted.Edgar Wright who left the project and they were and are no longer beholden to.

And tbh, it makes sense. Marvel Studios hadn't produced anything, they had no idea how the MCU was gonna take off and it was a real get to bring in Wright who at the time had already released Shaun of the Dead and about to release Hot Fuzz. You got Wright on board, he already had written a script and was invested in the character, makes sense to give him the keys to the car. Had he never been attached, I'm not entirely sure we would have gotten an Ant-Man movie at all.
Side note, The Reign of Marvel Studios book has a chapter on all this. I've touted it before, but the book is a pretty interesting read (if nothing else to read about all the Hollywood and business drama). I recommend it.
