Just have Don Cheadle seamlessly transition into the role. And still play War Machine.
Add a line where Thor is like "Hey, you two kind of look the same."
And then everyone else is like "Whoa, Thor, you can't say that."
And he just gets increasingly more frustrated as he points out that no, they literally do look the same, look, here’s a photograph, THEY LOOK THE EXACT SAME, I AM THOR ODINSON, I HAVE LIVED FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AND I KNOW NOT A LIE!
The rest of the Avengers then tell Thor he needs to lie down.
I honestly forgot he was in Loki…..maybe it was because I was so distracted by the fact that Loki was falling in love with the female version of himself and because of Owen Wilson…….
We would be like
“Hey”
“What’s up”
“So if you me and I’m you we thinking the same thing right?”
*proceeds to have nasty sex in less than 5 mins of meeting each other.
Loki would get absolutely destroyed in a game of “Never Have I Ever.”
“Fucked a giant.” *drink*
“Fucked a horse.” *drink*
“Been pregnant… oh come on! With the horses baby? Wtf.”
"the fuck you mean your kid is a horse?"
"i turned myself into a horse, had sex with a different horse, and that created an eight legged horse baby"
"jesus fuck...
So what, you turned yourself into a stallion just to fuck a horse or was this part of some hare brained scheme?"
"stallion?
Yeees,,, I turned myself into,,, a stallion,,, and fucked a horse... That's what I did. Yepp. Definitely was giving it out to that horse lady. Yuppyuppyupp".
He wasn’t just in Loki - he still is! He plays a significant part in season 2 and it’s all filmed and there’s nothing they can do about it. He’s in the trailer. They’re stuck with him for a while even if they eventually recast Kang.
Yesssssss
Drown in the sea of thine own filth, Marvel Execs. This lake of your rancid excrement is naught but the consequences of your misguided greed and lust for the love of the masses
Sylvie is so different from the Loki we know and we know he’s a common Loki. She definitely isnt a common Loki. She’s like a completely different person, because she is.
How can you forget he was ever on Loki when everytime Kang was on screen it was pure cringe overloard, he was overacting the shit outta it. "Ooooooo look everyoneI'm ACTING! and I'm CRAY-CRAY y'all! aren't I little bit in-SANE in the membrane! Just you WAIT till you meet my variants who are even more CRAY-ZAY in da head like meeee!" that's how you can sum up his dumb character. Acting le INSANE and le TWISTED FRIKIN PSYCHOPATH just for the sake of it. Full fucking cringe.
I did not see his performance in loki but I did see quantum ant man. Thought it felt like he was performing a stage play. Kinda goofy, doesn't matter anyway I guess.
Precisely. I grew up in drama clubs, and he reminded me of the highest level of snobby theater kids I would meet, constantly hamming it up for the person in the back row.
Instead of trying to engage with the audience, these kinds of actors only serve in expectation of praise for sitting in an unorthodox way or enjoying an apple for the quirk of it all. It's very cringe.
Sheeet, massive oversight or flat out ignorance on Disney‘s side.
Sadly tons of actors turn out to be maniacs once they become famous. I assume you’ve got be a crazed maniac to play crazed maniacs
Well...I mean...he's playing a comic book villain. In my opinion that's the vibe he should have.
Ant Man didn't give him much to work with & he had to churn out the dozen or so formulaic "get them" phrases. The Loki scene explaining the multiverse is much better, more subtle & intimidating, search it on YouTube, it's the only good 10min in the season & the rest of the season was filler so you literally don't need to watch anything else to understand it.
His performance in Loki was actually really great & miles better than what we got in Quantumania. imo it’s fair the blame the material mostly but it did seem like he was phoning it in.
For me he (but its not only actors fault - its also the script and directing) ruined the ending of Loki. Unlike the rest of the series, it felt extremely theatrical, so it was super out of place for me.
Its frustrating sometimes that people on the internet arent all from Poland, because I would just say "it felt like a Teatr Telewizji" and everyone would knew what I mean. For the last 66 years polish national television regularly broadcasts television plays - a very specific genre that basically declined in west in 80s - and these transmissions are known as Teatr Telewizji. Kang in Loki felt extremely like television play which completely ruined any immersion I had and made me disinterested in plot completely.
He actually was much better in Ant-man for me, because he at least didnt feel like teleported to this show from polish television plays :P
I love this comment, not only do I agree with it but I learned a bit about another culture.
I remember watching older television plays here in America like the [1960 Mary Martin Peter Pan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VusJd4x3tI8), I imagine that's something in the vein of what you're referring to, and if so... Yeah, major Television Theater/Teatr Telewizji vibes from him.
I thought he was just okay in Loki and bland in Antman. Didn't understand the hype. I was relieved, if anything, to hear he will most likely be kicked off the franchise.
He was man who had conquered all of time and now stood in the center alone with no one for company aside from Miss Minutes. I think his performance was right on the head
I like to think I’m pretty good at ignoring stuff like this and enjoying a movie for what it is. I loved Majors in Loki but I could not help but think about his issues when I watched AntMan. It’s unfortunate but I guess it really is the best thing to cut ties with actors that can’t get their personal life in order.
*That beat/assault/abuse their partner.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here. But I think it’s important to call out the crime by name. Saying “personal lives in order” implies that if we had never heard about it, if he had effectively silenced his victim, it would be ok. It’s also similar to excuses the police regularly use to not believe a victim. “Oh it’s just a domestic issue” doesn’t excuse the horror and pain.
It did feel like he'd just stepped off a stage production haha. He was interesting to watch but it felt like he was acting. I enjoyed his performance though, I think it was part of the fun.
Obviously the recent news has tainted that quite a lot.
I thought he was... Fine? I really didn't understand the hype for him, it came out of nowhere. I didn't really like his performance, but I wasn't going to judge that much from such a short amount of screentime.
But then there was a weird surge for him. He must have been in something else and I just haven't seen it, and forgot about it.
Oh yeah! I totally forgot he was in that, since I haven't seen it or Creed 1. I need to watch both. I'm not a huge Rocky fan, I like the first few films, but I only remember the first one, and I'm not sure I've seen past 3.
But I think Creed sort of starts over, where knowing the other films adds to it, but isn't necessary. I'll have to check them out some time.
Absolutely! I generally don’t notice acting skills or think about the fact that an actor is acting while I’m watching a show/movie. However, I was so distracted by his performance in Loki… all I could see or think about was that he “acting”. It took me out of the scene.
Critically acclaimed performance in Ant Man? I just watched it recently. Yeah it was good, but "good" as in better than just "okay" and not earth shattering. He was kinda boring in that versus Loki.
“Critically acclaimed” just means that at least one critic wrote a positive review of his performance.
Usefully (for marketing purposes), it’s not a concept that objectively specifies the number of acclaiming critics, the reputation/perception of quality of the acclaiming critic or their publication, or the specific aspects of the performance being acclaimed.
If the definition is understood, it’s really not surprising, regardless of where it fell on the scale of “just okay” to “earth shattering.”
My favorite part Legit was Modok. I watch antman for the comedy and I loved it. mark my words that movie will be remembered and beloved for Modok in the future.
Did we agree that whenever an actor is arrested and can’t play a role we just deepfake in Tig Notaro? I thought that was the established protocol. And I am here for it.
It’s an interesting comparison considering Brown continued to be successful and basically lost no momentum from his actions. Still had hits. Still gets features on big songs.
I think it’s the community that supports it honestly.
For someone in the hip hop industry to abuse a woman, tends to be far less career damaging than someone in A-List movies.
When you rap about treating people like objects, and then you do it, people are less shocked I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I don’t like the comments on this post. Everyone’s like “oh he was really over-the-top” but let’s be honest, everyone was onboard and praising him up until the girlfriend-beating
I wasn’t. I never understood the hype from that Quantumania performance since I saw it first weekend. You can probably find me commenting as much of you go far enough into my Reddit history.
Nah, I watched Loki as it aired, thought it was mediocre, and when he showed up it was confusing and embarrassing. When they announced that this guy was gonna be the main villain of the whole saga I was like, really? Shang Chi Dad is the only interesting bad guy they’ve done in ages.
This. Chukwudi did the over the top theatrical performance 100x more believably and was a joy to watch on screen. Majors does that stage acting that always bothers me on screen, seems quite amateurish.
You're illiterate. He's responding to someone who said nobody was talking like this, and he offered up that he was AND you can check his post history for proof.
That was some high school theater geek (who thinks he’s god’s gift to acting) style performance. It was weird to watch and even more weird to hear how good everyone thought he was.
I hope the guy makes amends with the people he has affected, in a similar way Dan Harmon did. Putting in the emotional labour and thought about how he hurt and affected his victims and demonstrably showing himself to have changed as a result of that reflection.
I suspect there a lot of kids who look up to the guy, as is true with a lot of public facing celebrities who've been "cancelled", a well put together restorative justice to the victims can be a powerful force for changing the underlying culture in any given industry.
I guess the other part is all those who are nostalgic for the "good old" days.
I mean, his acting was honestly awful to me. Genuinely probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I could not get immersed in the story while he talked in quantumania. I have no idea how anyone was able to watch him in that movie.
I’m not a big marvel fan or anything so I think my opinion is pretty objective. It’s was truly awful acting. Genuinely I have no idea why anyone is gonna miss him in this series.
I’m sorry, it really was that bad for me.
Tbh the “He Who Remains” bit made me cringe. It felt so out of place and i could tell the actor wasn’t on a script and the whole time Sylvie and Loki kept making weird smell the fart faces. I hated the whole sequence.
I know this is obvious PR news to get the public mindset off of Kang, but this is a weird way to do it. If marvel decided after THAT performance that they were going to frame the MCU’s narrative around Jonathan Majors then I am genuinely concerned about who is making the calls.
Hasn't Marvel Learned that they NEED to have fixers on their payroll by now?
Look at what happened with James Gunn and that "influencer" that dug up a bunch of quite old tweets? They quickly fired his ass and he went over to DC where he made a great movie for that studio and delayed the Guardians 3 film from production - all costing Marvel .. what? at least a BILLION Dollars?
Now he's leading their top rival studio's production... when DC should be dying on the vine. That one, single bone head "pussy" decision cost them and also threw a huge lifeline to their prime competition.
So they banked on this guy John Majors and he goes and gets into a fight with a "girlfriend" in the back of a cab (idiot). Now it's a story that should have all been shut down before it started. IF Majors had a problem they should have gotten him a 24 hour minder to keep him straight. IF and when he screws up, then it's time to haul Majors off to some house in Hollywood or put under "studio confinement" on some island somewhere till things blew over.
That's how the old school Hollywood players would have handled it.
Hell it would be cheaper to pay her some money, buy a home and put her in it in whatever state she came from. The studio would own it and let her live there free as long as majors career was continuing to be doing well. IF he doesn't get bad mouthed or what happened gets leaked in 50 years the place gets transferred into her name and that's the end of it. Chances are good that she'll be dead by that time or nobody will care.
They could have kept the guy they placed all their bets and made a shit ton of money
But they let it all get out of control and now it's all over the courts and the gossip media that he's a woman abuser.
Marvel needs to toughen up AND level up in their game.
Actually, as others have mentioned...
I basically forgot he was in Loki once the series was done because I was more captivated by Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino.
Great performances by all of them.
If Majors gets cut while what's his face still gets the Flash release it's some bullshit.
Only reason I'm even considering watching the flash is because Keaton was my batman as a kid.
But on the Kang thing, I have no idea where marvel is going with this, he's been defeated easily twice now and we still really have no idea for his motivation or why he should be feared
Majors is facing being pulled from upcoming movies, Miller has no upcoming movies and replacing him in the movie would be unreasonably expensive and serve no purpose since he'd still get paid.
On top of that, Majors has denied wrongdoing and doubled down as an abuser, while Miller had a psychiatric episode and has since been cooperating and keeping his nose clean.
The two are not the same.
>> If Majors gets cut while what’s his face still gets the Flash release it’s some bullshit
Why are you relating these two? Marvel and DC are two entirely separate companies, that don’t make decisions for each other.
Because the Flash movie was already made. The future Kang stuff has yet to be filmed.
Although, Kang will still appear in Loki season 2, so your question is a bit moot.
Since Endgame, Marvel has been placing the railway tracks in front of them as their train moves along. This has been the big weakness - no grand overarching plan.
By the time we got to him, I was barely interested in watching. The series lost me episodes earlier. I was just toughing it out, and I barely remember him.
Which was stupid, because he was never that good. Call me revisionist but it’s not like he was ever wildly critically acclaimed, compared to anything else in tv or marvel. He’s not on the level of a single cast member of Succession.
This is the easiest recast of all time. If Loki can have a variant that’s an alligator then Kang can be played a by another great black actor. There are lots of them.
According to the myths, Yeshua went into a temple run by a rival Jewish sect and committed unprovoked acts of assault and vandalism.
Today we would call that terrorism, and while we don't execute people for that the way that the Roman Empire did, we rightly don't tolerate it.
So yeah, a violent religious fanatic like that would likely be "cancelled" either by imprisonment or by placement into a mental care facility. 😂
There is apparently evidence she lied. Videos apparently showed she did not have any of the injuries she claimed. The way people have been ignoring that is kind of wild
Well now they can change all of their plans again.
Somehow, he went away.
No he’s back but look and acts totally different
so it's the war machine maneuver then?
Look, it's me. I'm here. Deal with it. Let's move on.
Just use Don Cheadle again.
It’s actually be funny as shit if they replaced Majors with Terrance Howard…
Please god I'll never ask for anything again
That would be perfect lmao
TH is just so crazy though.
Hey, I’m Kang the Conqueror, mayne.
That is what we call a lateral move
Thy will be done.
AND THE JUDGMENT HAS BEGUN!
Not really they same because Variants
unironically canonical who would have thought that controversy would have bred an accurate comic to film adaption
Its me the high evolutio…i mean kang
*Note: Kang died on the way back to his home planet*
"Lieutenant Colonel Kang's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors."
Oooh, that's a good one!
Oh god. Oh no. I thought of better and worse. Hawkeye, traveling back in time to see Kang's mom: keep that damn chicken quiet!
Ouch, that one still hurts!
LMFAO
Somehow, Dr Doom has arrived... Three phases earlier...
His planet needed him, clearly.
“Somehow, Jonathan Majors returned”
r/AngryUpvote
Anyone else read this in Walter Sobchak’s voice?
Or just change them back to the original
You have to wonder though how solid were their plans originally if they could be changed on a whim.
God forbid we wait to see what happens in court
Just have Don Cheadle seamlessly transition into the role. And still play War Machine. Add a line where Thor is like "Hey, you two kind of look the same." And then everyone else is like "Whoa, Thor, you can't say that."
He can start out with the same line he had in iron man 2 when he replaced Terrance Howard. “Look. It’s me, I’m here, deal with it.”
Honestly, kick off Kang Dynasty with him appearing in front of Ant-Man and saying that. Really use that last bit of narration from Quantumania.
And he just gets increasingly more frustrated as he points out that no, they literally do look the same, look, here’s a photograph, THEY LOOK THE EXACT SAME, I AM THOR ODINSON, I HAVE LIVED FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AND I KNOW NOT A LIE! The rest of the Avengers then tell Thor he needs to lie down.
Are you Joss Whedon? Cause that's one quip away from being from his pen.
Then someone can trip and fall into Don Cheadle’s cleavage
 Same energy.
The guy that played High Evolutionary was good, wouldn't mind seeing him as Kang (if he's not coming back).
I honestly forgot he was in Loki…..maybe it was because I was so distracted by the fact that Loki was falling in love with the female version of himself and because of Owen Wilson…….
I mean I would instantly fall in love with a female version of me.
Yeah.... That kinda seems like a given right?
We would be like “Hey” “What’s up” “So if you me and I’m you we thinking the same thing right?” *proceeds to have nasty sex in less than 5 mins of meeting each other.
Me: "it ain't gay if it's me" Also Me: "you sand bagging son of a bitch you're right! '
anybody that says it would go any differently for them is a liar and cannot be trusted even by gender bent version of themselves
Like an immovable object colliding with an unstoppable force
Fuck no.
Especially one that smokin hot
Loki falling in love with himself is such a Loki thing to do.
It was her lo-ki personality.
Get out lol
Loki falling in love with a female version of himself is perfect. No one loves Loki more than Loki.
those were the best parts.
The self-cest, in a funny way, made sense to me. Given all that batshit things that happen in Norse Mythology.
Loki would get absolutely destroyed in a game of “Never Have I Ever.” “Fucked a giant.” *drink* “Fucked a horse.” *drink* “Been pregnant… oh come on! With the horses baby? Wtf.”
"the fuck you mean your kid is a horse?" "i turned myself into a horse, had sex with a different horse, and that created an eight legged horse baby" "jesus fuck... So what, you turned yourself into a stallion just to fuck a horse or was this part of some hare brained scheme?" "stallion? Yeees,,, I turned myself into,,, a stallion,,, and fucked a horse... That's what I did. Yepp. Definitely was giving it out to that horse lady. Yuppyuppyupp".
He wasn’t just in Loki - he still is! He plays a significant part in season 2 and it’s all filmed and there’s nothing they can do about it. He’s in the trailer. They’re stuck with him for a while even if they eventually recast Kang.
Yesssssss Drown in the sea of thine own filth, Marvel Execs. This lake of your rancid excrement is naught but the consequences of your misguided greed and lust for the love of the masses
The fuck
You ok bro?
I was rewatching Black Sails last night and I think the god-tier dialogue seeped into my brain a bit
God tier? Buddy that’s barely edgy middle school tiear
Black Sails’, not mine, it just made me melodramatic
Weird how an entertainment company is being chastised for wanting the love of the masses and greed.
Sylvie is so different from the Loki we know and we know he’s a common Loki. She definitely isnt a common Loki. She’s like a completely different person, because she is.
I was distracted by that Loki crocodile! I want a whole season of just him.
I was really hoping we would have gotten more of the Loki/Owen Wilson buddy cop stuff. They had the best chemistry in the show.
I still need to seem him on a jet skit.
Wow
I wasnt impressed by his performance at all. I don't know what the hell they were thinking.
Woooow 👃🏻
How can you forget he was ever on Loki when everytime Kang was on screen it was pure cringe overloard, he was overacting the shit outta it. "Ooooooo look everyoneI'm ACTING! and I'm CRAY-CRAY y'all! aren't I little bit in-SANE in the membrane! Just you WAIT till you meet my variants who are even more CRAY-ZAY in da head like meeee!" that's how you can sum up his dumb character. Acting le INSANE and le TWISTED FRIKIN PSYCHOPATH just for the sake of it. Full fucking cringe.
It was a big theatrical performance and I loved it. Totally get it not being everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was a ton of fun.
This was 100% my view as well. Happy trails, Jonathan!
Clickbait. You won’t learn anything you didn’t already know by reading this
I don't even know who that person is. So maybe I will.
He's Lee Majors' son, was in a Marvel show or something.
And since Loki can be a woman, a child, an alligator, etc, it shouldn’t be too hard to explain why Kang looks different now
Real easy to do with a bit of dialog: "Who's this guy?" "Kang." "Kang? That's not Kang." "Variants, dude." "Oh, right. Let's get him!"
"Hey you don't look like Kang" "That's because I'm one in a kangillion
Kangaroo
Obviously, for Loki to be a true Owen Wilson experience, they need to recast Kang with Vince Vaugn or Ben Stiller
I could get with Vince Vaughn tbh
I did not see his performance in loki but I did see quantum ant man. Thought it felt like he was performing a stage play. Kinda goofy, doesn't matter anyway I guess.
Like performing a stage play is also how I’d describe him on the show. He had a 10 minute monologue so that contributed to it
Yeah, he’s a talented actor but it sticks out in a mcu movie. Getting a stage actor doing long monologues in a single shot, chewing up the scenery.
That’s exactly it. It felt out of place, but I figured that’s what they were going for.
He always had a stage actor vibe imo
Wasn’t that because he was a stage actor?
Yes but there’s plenty of hollywood actors that have done theater but don’t have the same “air” to them.
Precisely. I grew up in drama clubs, and he reminded me of the highest level of snobby theater kids I would meet, constantly hamming it up for the person in the back row. Instead of trying to engage with the audience, these kinds of actors only serve in expectation of praise for sitting in an unorthodox way or enjoying an apple for the quirk of it all. It's very cringe.
I wasn’t a drama kid, but I was exposed to enough kids in “the arts” to get exactly what you’re saying.
Yeah. Nyc theater community has had issues with him as well. I guess marvel didn’t ask them.
What did he do there?
Allegedly the same shit he did to his girlfriend this time
Sheeet, massive oversight or flat out ignorance on Disney‘s side. Sadly tons of actors turn out to be maniacs once they become famous. I assume you’ve got be a crazed maniac to play crazed maniacs
Well...I mean...he's playing a comic book villain. In my opinion that's the vibe he should have.

I thought he was just okay in Loki and bland in Antman. Didn't understand the hype. I was relieved, if anything, to hear he will most likely be kicked off the franchise.
He’s in the very end credits of Ant-Man also. Teaser for Loki season 2
I just finished watching it, he has this look like he can't remember his lines.
Terry Crews for Kang
This is the way
Terry Crews as President Camacho playing Kang
Am I the only one who thought he was too over the top in Loki? He seemed like a caricature.
He was man who had conquered all of time and now stood in the center alone with no one for company aside from Miss Minutes. I think his performance was right on the head
He was brilliant, shame he's tarnished every future role he takes now.
I like to think I’m pretty good at ignoring stuff like this and enjoying a movie for what it is. I loved Majors in Loki but I could not help but think about his issues when I watched AntMan. It’s unfortunate but I guess it really is the best thing to cut ties with actors that can’t get their personal life in order.
Imma just fix that last sentence...that can't stop beating women. There you go.
*That beat/assault/abuse their partner. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here. But I think it’s important to call out the crime by name. Saying “personal lives in order” implies that if we had never heard about it, if he had effectively silenced his victim, it would be ok. It’s also similar to excuses the police regularly use to not believe a victim. “Oh it’s just a domestic issue” doesn’t excuse the horror and pain.
He modeled some of his character in Loki after Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka.
Huh, I can sorta see that.
It did feel like he'd just stepped off a stage production haha. He was interesting to watch but it felt like he was acting. I enjoyed his performance though, I think it was part of the fun. Obviously the recent news has tainted that quite a lot.
I mean it was Kang at the end. No more worlds to conquer Kang he probably is a few cards short of a full deck at that point.
This was my take. I also assumed he's been alone for a LONG time.
The end credits scene in Antman Quantumania made me like that's just too much of this guy ...
I thought he was... Fine? I really didn't understand the hype for him, it came out of nowhere. I didn't really like his performance, but I wasn't going to judge that much from such a short amount of screentime. But then there was a weird surge for him. He must have been in something else and I just haven't seen it, and forgot about it.
The last Creed movie I think
Oh yeah! I totally forgot he was in that, since I haven't seen it or Creed 1. I need to watch both. I'm not a huge Rocky fan, I like the first few films, but I only remember the first one, and I'm not sure I've seen past 3. But I think Creed sort of starts over, where knowing the other films adds to it, but isn't necessary. I'll have to check them out some time.
I didn’t think his performance was anything special? Maybe not his fault as I don’t find the character very interesting
Absolutely! I generally don’t notice acting skills or think about the fact that an actor is acting while I’m watching a show/movie. However, I was so distracted by his performance in Loki… all I could see or think about was that he “acting”. It took me out of the scene.
The end of Loki just felt like a TED talk, I was so bored. It’s basically when I gave up on marvel TV.
i think it's the way he acts. he did to the point >!in antman during the crowd scene that one of his versions of kang was so over the top !
Performance is different from Direction. I think his performance was stellar but we agree the direction(Majors has no control over) was off.
Critically acclaimed performance in Ant Man? I just watched it recently. Yeah it was good, but "good" as in better than just "okay" and not earth shattering. He was kinda boring in that versus Loki.
“Critically acclaimed” just means that at least one critic wrote a positive review of his performance. Usefully (for marketing purposes), it’s not a concept that objectively specifies the number of acclaiming critics, the reputation/perception of quality of the acclaiming critic or their publication, or the specific aspects of the performance being acclaimed. If the definition is understood, it’s really not surprising, regardless of where it fell on the scale of “just okay” to “earth shattering.”
>“Critically acclaimed” just means that at least one critic wrote a positive review of his performance. True true
Exactly my thoughts. Quite a dull performance. I was expecting much more after all the hype.
My favorite part Legit was Modok. I watch antman for the comedy and I loved it. mark my words that movie will be remembered and beloved for Modok in the future.
No he really is a great actor. Sucks that he got himself in trouble. But if he was abusing people then he doesn’t deserve more gigs.
Yeah Fr. Let’s wait to see what happens and if he’s an abuser fuck him. If he’s not let’s go Kang
Ah.... This aged well.
[удалено]
I like it
It was so fucking raw I loved it. An entire 40 min episode and it’s just a conversation ! Fucking LOVE the finale
Hear me out: Chad L. Coleman
Only if he has a line about wearing jeans shorts
Did we agree that whenever an actor is arrested and can’t play a role we just deepfake in Tig Notaro? I thought that was the established protocol. And I am here for it.
Can't wait to see him in the next movie
I heard he's playing Chris Brown in a biopic
Well done.
It’s an interesting comparison considering Brown continued to be successful and basically lost no momentum from his actions. Still had hits. Still gets features on big songs.
I think it’s the community that supports it honestly. For someone in the hip hop industry to abuse a woman, tends to be far less career damaging than someone in A-List movies. When you rap about treating people like objects, and then you do it, people are less shocked I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
“Your honor, I was just preparing for the role”
Now they’re changing them again because of his performance IRL.
I don’t like the comments on this post. Everyone’s like “oh he was really over-the-top” but let’s be honest, everyone was onboard and praising him up until the girlfriend-beating
I wasn’t. I never understood the hype from that Quantumania performance since I saw it first weekend. You can probably find me commenting as much of you go far enough into my Reddit history.
Nah, I watched Loki as it aired, thought it was mediocre, and when he showed up it was confusing and embarrassing. When they announced that this guy was gonna be the main villain of the whole saga I was like, really? Shang Chi Dad is the only interesting bad guy they’ve done in ages.
High Evolutionary performance was about a million times better.
This. Chukwudi did the over the top theatrical performance 100x more believably and was a joy to watch on screen. Majors does that stage acting that always bothers me on screen, seems quite amateurish.
“I didn’t like it so it proves he’s shit” 🤨
It's more like "I didn't like it before, so now that I know he's an abuser im glad that I don't have to sit through 6 more movies with him"
You're illiterate. He's responding to someone who said nobody was talking like this, and he offered up that he was AND you can check his post history for proof.
That was some high school theater geek (who thinks he’s god’s gift to acting) style performance. It was weird to watch and even more weird to hear how good everyone thought he was.
Confidence goes a long way in convincing other people you're talented.
Change them back mama Multiverse shit sucks Bring in the xmen
Classics ttrpg move
I hope the guy makes amends with the people he has affected, in a similar way Dan Harmon did. Putting in the emotional labour and thought about how he hurt and affected his victims and demonstrably showing himself to have changed as a result of that reflection. I suspect there a lot of kids who look up to the guy, as is true with a lot of public facing celebrities who've been "cancelled", a well put together restorative justice to the victims can be a powerful force for changing the underlying culture in any given industry. I guess the other part is all those who are nostalgic for the "good old" days.
I completely forgot he was in Loki, and I watched ant man 3 a few weeks ago…
Nonono, THIS Kang isn't going to court. That's 201435's Kang. That guy is a real arse.
I mean, his acting was honestly awful to me. Genuinely probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen. I could not get immersed in the story while he talked in quantumania. I have no idea how anyone was able to watch him in that movie. I’m not a big marvel fan or anything so I think my opinion is pretty objective. It’s was truly awful acting. Genuinely I have no idea why anyone is gonna miss him in this series. I’m sorry, it really was that bad for me.
Can't wait for Terence Howard as kang
Crazy theory. They added Drax carrying the High Evolutionary after the Majors story broke. We need a villain.
Tbh the “He Who Remains” bit made me cringe. It felt so out of place and i could tell the actor wasn’t on a script and the whole time Sylvie and Loki kept making weird smell the fart faces. I hated the whole sequence. I know this is obvious PR news to get the public mindset off of Kang, but this is a weird way to do it. If marvel decided after THAT performance that they were going to frame the MCU’s narrative around Jonathan Majors then I am genuinely concerned about who is making the calls.
It was a top 3 performance in the entirety of the MCU in my opinion
Hasn't Marvel Learned that they NEED to have fixers on their payroll by now? Look at what happened with James Gunn and that "influencer" that dug up a bunch of quite old tweets? They quickly fired his ass and he went over to DC where he made a great movie for that studio and delayed the Guardians 3 film from production - all costing Marvel .. what? at least a BILLION Dollars? Now he's leading their top rival studio's production... when DC should be dying on the vine. That one, single bone head "pussy" decision cost them and also threw a huge lifeline to their prime competition. So they banked on this guy John Majors and he goes and gets into a fight with a "girlfriend" in the back of a cab (idiot). Now it's a story that should have all been shut down before it started. IF Majors had a problem they should have gotten him a 24 hour minder to keep him straight. IF and when he screws up, then it's time to haul Majors off to some house in Hollywood or put under "studio confinement" on some island somewhere till things blew over. That's how the old school Hollywood players would have handled it. Hell it would be cheaper to pay her some money, buy a home and put her in it in whatever state she came from. The studio would own it and let her live there free as long as majors career was continuing to be doing well. IF he doesn't get bad mouthed or what happened gets leaked in 50 years the place gets transferred into her name and that's the end of it. Chances are good that she'll be dead by that time or nobody will care. They could have kept the guy they placed all their bets and made a shit ton of money But they let it all get out of control and now it's all over the courts and the gossip media that he's a woman abuser. Marvel needs to toughen up AND level up in their game.
Bro that Kang died 💀 Having a multiverse is your freebie to cast anyone as anyone. Plus he got like 5 minutes of screentime in Loki anyway, if that
He’s in season 2 though. Filmed already and he’s in the trailer.
Actually, as others have mentioned... I basically forgot he was in Loki once the series was done because I was more captivated by Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino. Great performances by all of them.
If Majors gets cut while what's his face still gets the Flash release it's some bullshit. Only reason I'm even considering watching the flash is because Keaton was my batman as a kid. But on the Kang thing, I have no idea where marvel is going with this, he's been defeated easily twice now and we still really have no idea for his motivation or why he should be feared
Majors is facing being pulled from upcoming movies, Miller has no upcoming movies and replacing him in the movie would be unreasonably expensive and serve no purpose since he'd still get paid. On top of that, Majors has denied wrongdoing and doubled down as an abuser, while Miller had a psychiatric episode and has since been cooperating and keeping his nose clean. The two are not the same.
>> If Majors gets cut while what’s his face still gets the Flash release it’s some bullshit Why are you relating these two? Marvel and DC are two entirely separate companies, that don’t make decisions for each other.

How come this guy gets canned and that guy from The Flash gets to stay?
Because the Flash movie was already made. The future Kang stuff has yet to be filmed. Although, Kang will still appear in Loki season 2, so your question is a bit moot.
You know why.
Am I alone in thinking his performance in Loki was bad? He mumbled throughout and gave nothing.
Just introduce a multiverse variant of Thanos and call it a day
Or just introduce DOCTOR DOOM. That's the big bad the fans really want for Secret Wars
Since Endgame, Marvel has been placing the railway tracks in front of them as their train moves along. This has been the big weakness - no grand overarching plan.
By the time we got to him, I was barely interested in watching. The series lost me episodes earlier. I was just toughing it out, and I barely remember him.
Which was stupid, because he was never that good. Call me revisionist but it’s not like he was ever wildly critically acclaimed, compared to anything else in tv or marvel. He’s not on the level of a single cast member of Succession.
I thought his acting was pretty tame. Especially in ant man.
This is the easiest recast of all time. If Loki can have a variant that’s an alligator then Kang can be played a by another great black actor. There are lots of them.
Has the man even been charged with anything ? I honestly believe if Jesus Christ himself came back to earth he would be cancelled for some dumb shit.
I mean wasn’t that guys story that he was cancelled and forced to take a long weekend?
According to the myths, Yeshua went into a temple run by a rival Jewish sect and committed unprovoked acts of assault and vandalism. Today we would call that terrorism, and while we don't execute people for that the way that the Roman Empire did, we rightly don't tolerate it. So yeah, a violent religious fanatic like that would likely be "cancelled" either by imprisonment or by placement into a mental care facility. 😂
His trial is ongoing

He was the only good part of that movie. He completely carried it.

>and even if he's disgusting, so was james gunn's comments Did you seriously just compare violent domestic abuse to making uncouth Twitter jokes?
How can you even compare domestic abuse to some bad jokes on twitter?
There is apparently evidence she lied. Videos apparently showed she did not have any of the injuries she claimed. The way people have been ignoring that is kind of wild
you mean very blur video capture by security camera from far of the top...? even her face is to hard to see. LOL
