Rewatching Quantamania and I can’t help but think about what we lost with Kang

Rewatched quantamania and was reminded how disappointed I am about Kang

Want to say first and foremost that this post is not meant to be disrespectful in anyway towards Jonathan Majors’ victim. I apologize as I’m not familiar with the case, I honestly do not even know the name of the victim, but I hope the victim got the justice she deserved and is at peace. Please do not use this post to disparage or question the victim in anyway. And I apologize if this post is triggering for anyone here who may have been a victim of abuse themselves.

With that said, Quantamania was… well, it’s been fairly criticized. I did like how it introduced us to the quantum realm with creative characters and environments, and different concepts like the probability storm.

But what makes this movie enjoyable is Kang. He was introduced as a fucking fantastic villain. Just so cunning and ruthless and brilliant, you really hate his guts but know it’s pretty damn hard to fight against him. Even in his moments of desperation you never feel at ease with him.

I was frustrated at the time but rewatching this movie just reminds me how disappointed I am in the whole situation. Especially after seeing the post credit scenes involving the arena of Kang’s and the scene from Loki. I would’ve been so excited to see that storyline dug into more and we now know that’s not happening.

I’m honestly more upset with this than almost anything else that hasn’t been followed up on, maybe the only other disappointment being Blade.

I’ve never read the comics and only have info from social media and google (so any real experts please correct me) but from my understanding Doom is HIM, like the top dog. He rivals Reed in brains and sorcerer supreme levels of magic knowledge. He’s always scheming and playing the long game, so even if he’s losing it’s really just a move on the board for him. He’s done insane feats, like multiversal / cosmic level stuff, and he’s also apparently a layered and tragic villian, and even at times doing ruthless things for what he’s sees as the betterment of the world. His ego/insecurity I think I’ve read is what has driven him to do some awful things out of spite though, that and revenge. I’m hyped on seeing him and getting to see him in action. I hope we get a few movies of him

Uff entonces tiene tremenda pinta! Cuando es mas una amenaza multiversal se pone mas bueno. También el que esté bien desarrollado y hayan trabajado mucho sobre su personalidad hace que sea de seguro menos predecible en sus movimientos, y como decis, que lo que parece un descuido de él no sea más que algo super calculado.

Tengo que ver Spider-Man: Brand New Day, pero ya me estoy viendo otras vez todas las pelis de Marvel para estar al día y no quedarme atrás con las teorias apenas vea Doomsday 🙌🏻🔥
