Should we have original variants of Kang in the MCU?

[bright olive]

I'd prefer they be adapted

[glossy gale]

Bet the new Kang is gonna be asian

[lyric fern]

as long as theres a nice mix between comic adapted and original kangs, its fine by me

rather have only comic variants than only mcu variants tho

[nocturne mirage]

If they keep Kang as villain, it would be cool to see immortus or Iron Lad or something

[meager rover]

Immortus was already teased at the end of Quantumania iirc

[nocturne mirage]

I don't remember that at all

I think that, hulk, and the marvels I have only seen once but that's because marvels just released

Hulk was good

[heavy dew]

i honestly believe if they introduce new version there migjtmight be confusion

[hard coyote]

huh

sure why not as long as they keep some variants

[fervent swallow]

Do we even know if they're keeping Kang at all lol

[pseudo dock]

He can’t just vanish from the story lol

[ivory turtle]

Because he wants freedom from the quantum realm

[wise mist]

immortus would be cool

i chose yes because i don’t think he’s a bad guy i feel like he was trying to balance out

thing in the universe

if that makes sense

[wise mist]

it would be but it would be good, cause he evolved

[wise mist]

exactly

[meager rover]

Kang is 100% a villain

[wise mist]

that’s just a variant

[bright obsidian]

It would be cooler

[meager rover]

Basically every Kang is a villain.
The only exception iirc would be Iron Lad who wouldn't really count cuz he was more Nathaniel than Kang.

[wise mist]

i feel, i mean i guess there’s always different perspectives also

[wise mist]

different eras and timelines that would make more sense as to why he did what he did in some ways

[meager rover]

Nope it is explicit in comics that Kang is always a villain and this is followed in the MCU.
The only times he serves a "hero" role is excluisvely for his own gain which is NOT based in morals.

[wise mist]

it’s always perspective

some worlds just get to not so loving

maybe that’s why he did what he did

i don’t think he likes doing what he has to do

[meager rover]

?????????
Kang is, again, explicitly a villain because his sole desire is to conquer.

He LOVES being Kang.

[wise mist]

conquering

[meager rover]

He takes on Kang as more of an identity than his original human identity, Nathaniel Richards.

[wise mist]

and delivering*

mhmm

i feel you

[meager rover]

You should read his limited 2021 run. Some of, if not the best characterization for Kang.

LEAGUES better than his MCU slop.

[wise mist]

mhmm

he evolved with immortus

apparently

and decided to team with the time keepers didn’t he?

[meager rover]

Immortus is the final stage of Kang if he doesn't die first.

[wise mist]

right

I always liked marvel but got into when older

[meager rover]

In comics? Not to my memory.

[wise mist]

apparently it says on the internet

or in the movie

[meager rover]

Very possible but that's not something I remember reading

[wise mist]

from stan lee

?

[meager rover]

DM me what you're reading.

If you don't mind, that is.

[wise mist]

u want to talk privately about like comics and stuff?

if you really want i guess we can

[meager rover]

I just wanted to see what this is about Kang working with the Time Keepers
I don't want to distract from the sole subject this thread is for.

[wise mist]

okay

i dm u

[meager rover]

Anyways, I've always advocated for the MCU adding it's own mark on the Marvel characters and history without changing them so much they're different characters entirely (like I believe making Iron Lad the kid from Iron Man 3 makes zero fucking sense given who Iron Lad ACTUALLY is).

So my answer would be yes, original variants would, in an ideal world be great to see, but with the way the MCU is currently being written I'd be extremely wary of them doing such.

[nocturne mirage]

oh right

well, I uh

[heady fog]

i agree

[void wing]

i'm generally pretty fine with having original variants

but then like

there's already so many good variants that exist in the comics

so i'd prefer that they stick to those first over creating new ones

[lethal cosmos]

Mid response

[lethal cosmos]

@void wing thoughts on endgame?

[bright olive]

Agreed

[brave kelp]

i don't know,i am new here

[bright olive]

have you read much of Kang?
