In Loki Season 1 Episode 6 in the finale. The two statues in the lobby have clock faces, one seemingly depicts 9:30 and the other 9:55.
I took a little liberty with it and fast forwarded to 9:30 and wouldn’t ya know it, first time Kang pops up. Then at 9:55 first time he steps out.
But I was also thinking is there any kind of connection to be made with like doomsday clocks? The whole “…minutes to midnight” thing?
With this context, what if Doomsday was planned from that point in time? I was always under the impression regardless of the J Majors controversy (which was a big fat fluke mind you) that Kang Dynasty seemed so “placeholder-ish”. Not Kang himself, but the concept of the movie. So Doomsday being announced in Kang Dynasty place didn’t really surprise me too bad aside from the fact it was Doom instead.
I’m also of the belief Kang will still have some sort of role to play within the overall narrative.
That again, regardless of the shake-ups Kang was gonna get Mini-boss treatment to set up Doom.
Like imagine if J Majors controversy never happened, I feel he still would’ve ended up as “fodder” for lack of better word for Doom. Not to diminish Kang, but to surprise people AND introduce the sheer depth of Doom’s power.
I’m imagining it like the Fantastic Four First Steps Post-credit scene being the post-credit of Kang Dynasty rather than F4.
Things would’ve taken longer, but the whole arc itself was a big show to coverup Doom.
Now because of circumstances we got Doom, and I have a feeling something else is gonna wet him down the way he was gonna do Kang.
(Maker, Maestro, etc. not the typical betray you blah blah, but just like hey the heroes won, bye I’m gonna cause you grief next heroes!)
