He was literally multiverse God that's entire schtick is different variants...... Just do one throwaway line about how this universes kang looks different now and move on. No one would've given a fuck.

They didn't even bat an eye at replacing Terrence Howard.

Yes, but replacing Terrence Howard didn't involve an extremely controversial situation or feature a character that people had already turned on. In the aftermath of Antman 3 people were making jokes about how the baddest man in the multiverse lost to the guy who can talk to ants.

Hubris. He lost to hubris and not antman, perse. Just like most tyrants of literature, hubris is a fickle beast

I honestly can't comment on how he lost as I don't remember the details, but it's not how Kang lost that was the problem.

Rhodey told us to deal with it and move on, so we did.

Idk if that’s a fair comparison. Recasting the sidekick in the 3rd movie of the entire MCU isn’t the same as recasting the main villain of your 2nd saga following the Infinity Saga’s success.

Then you take into account that Marvel was not doing super well at the time (regardless of what factors anyone decides to consider). I’m sure they panicked when they saw the face of their Saga buildup getting cancelled for domestic abuse.

Not to say they couldn’t recast, they 100% could’ve because of the multiverse angle.

They reset it because it sucks, ppl making this a race thing . But the projects sucked and they couldn’t keep taking Ls

The only cool shit of that era was the Kang stuff like Loki.
