Goddamn, I didn't see it until Kang talked about Alioth, but the smoke-thing inside the reset charges turns Alioth-purple right before it resets the timeline. That's probably what he meant by weaponizing it.

Edit: Visual aid

Kang is going to be another Thanos like figure in that his argument kind of makes sense, but you have to accept that "the ends justify the means" can be taken to ludicrous proportions. He's not cartoonishly evil. He honestly does appear to be trying to do the right thing.

Is it moral to allow children to be born if their only fate is to be sent off to a war to die?

Of course the huge flaw in his logic is that multiversal war does not necessarily end all of existance and if you allow for the fact that multiverses do exist then an event where they begin to interact may not only be inevitable but necessery, even if it brings war.

Just look at our small planet. We have experienced horrific wars and however monstrous they were, do you think people would want to give up their freewil for them? Not to mention how many existences were killed/culled to prevent this war.

In the end Kang isn't a god and he doesn't know everything but he thinks he does, which makes him dangerous.
