In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.
Mind you they lost to Thanos a grand total of 1 time. The Kang vs Thanos discourse is dumb because they were built up by design as two very different antagonists. Thanos wasn’t very hands-on, he did not directly get involved in the plot until Infinity War. Kang was built to be much more directly integrated into the narrative.
I don't think Jonathan Majors' acting was ever the real problem with Kang. The problem was how Marvel built him up as a threat.
With Thanos, every loss felt catastrophic. He felt inevitable because the movies treated him like a cosmic force of nature.
Kang suffered from the "Worf Effect" in reverse. They kept telling us how terrifying he was, but kept showing us versions of him losing. Sylvie stabbed He Who Remains at the End of Time, Scott and Hope defeated the Conqueror by trapping him in the multiversal engine, and Victor Timely was just an awkward 19th century inventor who got spaghetti fied by the Temporal Loom.
By the time we got to the Council of Kangs hooting in an arena, they felt more like video game respawns than an existential threat.
Now Marvel is pivoting to Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom, and that immediately brings a different kind of emotional weight to the story. The Avengers won't just be facing another army of replaceable variants. They'll be facing a monarch who looks exactly like the man who died saving their universe.
