That show kicked so much ass. That said, I was confused why Kang's future was replaced with an apocalypse? I know the reason was Cap apparently screwing up during the Kree-Skrull War, and a solar storm decimated Earth. That said, wouldn't that imply Cap wasn't supposed to be found in the first place? Am I missing something?

@@johnnygyro2295he was replaced by a skrull at some point, so that might have something to do with it. Maybe Skrull Cap, trying to emulate the heroism of the real McCoy, chose to save T'Challa from falling into the sun, thus allowing the Kree to open their portal near the sun. Kang didn't know about the imposter, all he saw was Cap acting in character.

So a Kang is knocked into a timeless dimension and there realizes that there are variant timeliness repeatedly failing and causing destruction. This variant then successfully plots the downfall of the others and his future happens to be the sole ruler of the timeline (roughly speaking) So is the MCU taking this route? Is the exiled Kang who we think is dead really just somewhere else learning the truth and biding his time. Is his future He Who Remains? They both solely seem to be against the multiverse interacting while the other variants are fine with it.

@Jansenbaker Жыл бұрын

That was an epic travel through comic history. Splendidly presented. And I felt pride that Kang ended up conquering his destiny. My only questions are: What about the young Kang that Kang manipulated into becoming him, & How on Earth could the movie Kang hope to compare to this history? The comics have 60 years of stories to look at, but we don't have time for that kind of variety and depth in movies. I guess we'll see.

@@tbunating1451 in his own words- Rob has been reading comics for about 25 years (the movie years). He also seems to be entirely digital. Ask him to do a room tour of his comic collection if you doubt that? Don't get me wrong- he has clearly done an incredible amount of research in those 25 years. But for somebody like me, who's obsessive collection goes back to the 60s, he simply has way too many mistakes, gaps of knowledge and crucially a complete lack of context for many of the things he discusses. Rob is more than good enough for new comic fans learning the basics- but this channel is better for obsessive types like me who already own and probably know everything IMO.
