It's gonna be a pain for the studio, but I'm glad they made the right call quickly here, instead of trying to just ignore it away like DC and Ezra Miller.
- I don't know how DC and WB got away with that. It hurts their reputation in long term.
  
  [removed]
  
  Ezra must have some serious dirty on some executives in WB... Plus him being part of a marginalize group.
- They really had to. They quickly fired Gunn after media reported on old, edgy jokes. You have to fire someone after a guilty assault verdict if that's your threshold.
He Who Remains In Prison
- Kang the Convicted
  
  Kang the canceled
At least they waited for the verdict to fire him this time cough Johnny Depp cough cough.
- As much as people like to defend Depp, he's a piece of shit who deserves to lose his status. He has great pr that has made everyone around here ignore his mountains of past abusive behavior and being a creep.
  Dude is 60, dating 20 year olds and bitching that they're immature. Him and his ex were mutually abusive psychos, she just happened to be worse, but Johnny Depp is a garbage person
- It's easier for Disney to fire a problematic star who is past his prime and doesnt pull audiences anymore than to fire a problematic star who is considered up and coming, and supposed to frontline a big franchise
- Depp’s a trash human being, too. Don’t let that verdict trick you into thinking he’s a victim. That whole affair was between two awful people.
- Yeah...I definitely believe in the principle of being innocent until proven guilty, and that should apply in all facets of life. I know legally that only restrains the courts and government, but in my opinion, it should apply for everyone - no one should be fired or otherwise treated as though they're guilty before it has been proven.
Imagine throwing away this opportunity because you couldn't keep your hands to yourself. Goodbye, fucking idiot.
Marvel should recast with a Lady Kang, full send into the "timeline variant" option.
- "Put a chick in it, and make her gay" - Cartman-Kennedy
- That would be legit as fuck.
- My bet is that they make Revonna “become” Kang prime
  
  I think they're gonna go in a completely different direction. Who knows though? I doubt they even know what they're gonna do.
Dude could’ve printed money riding the Disney/MCU wave. Instead he chose violence.
Bye.
They should just pull a switcheroo and show that Oroborous was actually Kang all along and that Majors was just a pawn or perhaps a rival he was disguising himself from.
- While this is a fun idea, I really don't see him as a legit villain. The actor is just so goddamn charming.
  
  I thought he was a fine villain because I can’t stand Jonathan Majors. Every moment of screen time with him in Loki S2 is just brutal
- Ravonna was hinted as being his variant, they could just replace him with her
Thankfully Loki 2 put them in a good position to just nip the kang storyline in the bud. At least for now. Maybe wait a good decade or two then potentially bring back the threat of Kang with a new actor (or more).
- That's true. The TVA is killing all the Kangs so maybe only the variants that don't look like Timely/HWR survive.
  Or just say, no the TVA handled all the Kangs, here is Dr Doom.
  I wonder if Mayors had something in his contract that only he can play Kang, as some people suspect from not already recasting him.
  
  He can be removed based on the "morality clause" they put in these contracts. Basically "if you make us look bad, you're gone". All entertainers have them because they're public figures.
  
  I wish Madds Mikkelsen hadn't been in dr. Strange so he could play dr. Doom.
  Let's get Lars Mikkelsen to play him instead
Those texts were classic abuser manipulation. He also sounds arrogant and unhinged calling himself a great man in them.
He threatened to kill himself to the woman he was abusing the manipulate her. I wonder if he has the balls to follow through now that it's over for him.
Maybe now Avengers 4 will just have Thanos return from the multiverse "Somehow Thanos returned......"
- Probably just recast Kang. The multiverse thing allows for that pretty easily, and each Kang we've seen hasn't survived their show or movie. The question is if they can get someone as memorable as Majors.
They just need to recast him. No one will complain.
- My vote is for Terrance Howard. Go full circle on MCU recasting.
  
  “ Look, it's me. I'm here. Deal with it. Let's move on."
  
  He could win by explaining Terryology to Loki and watch his head explode.
  
  I kind of like the Lady Kang idea. It'd be the perfect twist.
  
  "Next time baby!"
Such a shame. I thought he was doing such a great job as Kang. Fuck anyone that lays hands on their loved ones
Oh. That real.
Saw a meme about him beign fired. Thought it was a joke
Who?
- Tic
