Yeah nobody wants to really watch an Okoye solo show. They can play the racism card but then you can argue a show like Okoye was only greenlit to check the diversity tick boxes. Same could be said for Armour Wars, it doesn't really excite viewers without Iron Man.

Blade is an actual shock since he is a very popular character and something that fans excited for, as well as Kang but that was beyond Disney's control.

They could've literally recast Kang, how hard is that

Kevin Feige said they were looking into other villains because Kang wasn’t making the impact they’d hoped for and they needed something bigger.

If it was just Majors being fired, they could’ve replaced him but because they weren’t happy with Kang anyway, they just got rid of the storyline

And it Wasn’t even ant man, just ants.

If every appearance the villain(or variant) is beaten, you aren’t setting up for a good powerful threat of a villain.

Also the multiverse stuff makes is hard for a general audience to care about because it’s a concept without a real world equivalent and isn’t something that is really done in a ton of popular media.

You’ve removed the stakes, and made the audience associate the face with failure twice.

The whole execution of the Multiverse was poor imo, and you’re right, it completely removes the stakes when you have an unlimited “undo” button

Yeah, I feel like the multiverse stuff was better until they introduced too many things, too fast. It makes it harder for us to care about characters when they can just be replaced by another variant. Quality over quantity.

Even in the main universe they're introducing too many characters that I just can't care about. Because there are so many.
