Manic Monday Bonus--What Is Kang, Chopped Liver?!?

You know who gets no respect, at least in the MCU?

Yeah, that's right. Kang. Kang The Conqueror.

Sure, he's not as shiny as Ultron, or as "oooh, scary" as Johnny-come-lately Thanos...

...but Kang has been bedeviling the Avengers since long before those others were a gleam in anyone's eyes.

Yeah, I know, the timey-wimey multiple identity stuff makes people's heads hurt. But that's the beauty of the MCU--you can introduce him fresh, without any of that baggage. And once you do that, the premise is easy and appealing--warlord from the future who wants to conquer the past by beating Earth's Mightiest Heroes!

So I'm hoping that Avengers: Infinity War ends with Thanos being beaten, but then Kang showing up to reveal he's been the master manipulator this whole time, leading into Avengers IV: The Quest For Peace (or whatever).

'Nuff said!

A Misguided Attempt To Get Joss Whedon To Stay On The Avengers Franchise?

Instead of making Avengers 3A & 3B be The Infinity War, how about this?

Yes, I know they're not wearing bikinis. What do you want, titles that make sense?

OK, OK, a not-yet-released "Adults only erotic thriller" (their words, not mine) might not be the way to go.

How about a fresh, new idea?

No, no, no.

And again, no.

Let's make one more, desperate attempt:

But how can it be a naked bikini, when naked would mean no bikini, and...

I give up.

That's gotta be Hank Pym as the Masked Avenger, right?
