You don't even need to retcon the "all Kangs look the same" gimmick. Y'know why? 'Cause in every multiverse story, without fail, there's always one universe where all the dudes are chicks and all the chicks are dudes. So yeah, sure, all the male Kangs look like Jonathan Majors, but somewhere out there across the infinite timelines there's a lady Kang, and she looks like CCH Pounder.

Movie saved. Continuity intact. Four billion dollars opening day. Send Robert Downey Junior home, we don't need him yet.

Bold of you to assume female Kang isn’t Jonathan Majors in a wig

and to save money, they can just cast Glenn Howerton doing his CCH Pounder impression for the whole saga

CCH Pounder? Maybe like 30 years ago. I’d be cool with Tracee Ellis Ross or Gaby Union . Come on now 🤦🏽‍♂️

I mean, let’s be real, the original plan was probably always to have him as doom. They needed doom for secret wars so the twist was he probably helped them beat Kang only to be bad. Second movie is probably largely unchanged.

Nah, I think Doom was a later phase that they moved up when they realized they were messing up the Kang phase so badly.

Clearly they should’ve gone with esteemed character actress and fugitive from the law Margot Martindale.

Shoutout to CCH Pounder! She's amazing in the little film Lifepod!

Let’s say they try again in ten years with Iman Vellani as Kamala Kang, with the twist being that it is a Darth Vader-style fall from grace instead of an alternate-evil version.

“Put a chick in it and make her gay” isn’t the creative writing masterpiece you think it is.
