![]() We support women's rights, but also women's wrongs. Singh: Give him a few more movie appearances and I'm sure he'll swiftly surpass Thanos. 1 on our list is that I have no clue what the endgame is here. Kirsten: Yeah, the only reason he's not No. If "Quantumania" is any indication, we're in for a thrilling journey in this next phase of the MCU. ![]() With more Kang variants ready to step up, I fear that the main Earth's Avengers that we've come to adore won't make it out alive in the future. We know that he's ruthless, extremely powerful, and not afraid to kill. He's commanding, calculating, and terrifying all at once. What's frightening is that we've only just scratched the surface of what Majors is capable of as Kang. He's killed so many Avengers, he can't even keep track of them! He speaks about murdering people with a nonchalance that's absolutely chilling. Singh: This is a villain so destructive that his variants (unsuccessfully) tried to sabotage his plan of multiversal ruin. He's a complete wild card.Įven though we've only seen him in "Loki" and "Ant-Man" so far, Majors' performance as two different versions of Kang sold me on his status as a top-tier Marvel baddie.įrom the end-credits teaser, it looks like we're going to see Majors push the bar as even wackier versions of this character and it could be a tour de force. You get the sense that Kang's the sort of villain who would charm your socks off while quietly stabbing you and you'd never see it coming. There's something about his soft-spoken, calm-and-calculated demeanor that makes him all the more terrifying. Feared by just about everyone in the Quantum Realm – characters were afraid to even refer to Kang by name until he was seen on-screen – Kang made it clear he's one of Marvel's most powerful characters by blasting lasers from his hands, freezing people in their tracks with Force-like powers, and creating protective shields around himself. Somehow, "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" contains one of the MCU's worst and best villains.Īcuna: Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror gives off serious Darth Vader vibes. That's why, even years after he was defeated by the Avengers in 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," we're still seeing the ripple effects of his snap and blip in the films and shows released since then. Singh: Thanos had the biggest impact on the MCU thus far and completely changed the franchise's trajectory. If my brother was Eros (Harry Styles), I'd be mad, too. This is a character so laser-focused on his plan that he didn't let emotions or bias get in the way of his plan, going so far as to yeet his daughter off a cliff so he could acquire the soul stone. He saw the consequences of this (like starvation) first-hand on his home planet of Titan, did the math, and realized the solution was to level the population and restore balance. His vision for this universe was rooted in a very logical, math-based explanation: the universe is finite and has finite resources. He was playing the long game, with the seeds planted in 2012's "The Avengers," and it paid off. He had an ambitious goal and the means to execute it. Josh Brolin delivered in portraying a truly formidable character. Singh: Thanos checks off all our boxes in determining the best and worst MCU villains. He killed Loki, a bunch of Asgardians, the Collector, and even sacrificed his own daughter, Gamora, for his vision. Most impressively, Thanos did whatever he needed to accomplish his goal. He wiped out half the population of the entire world for five years. Thanos understood the assignment and was willing to risk it all to - in his eyes - save the world.Īcuna: Remember when the MCU had stakes? Thanos is the only Marvel villain to successfully execute his evil plan and it wasn't some tired "I want to take over the world" scheme.
