In one of the What Ifs over the holidays, take the long shot of Kangs from the Ant3 stinger, have an army of Doombots fly in and massacre all of them. Then have Watcher say “Oh wait no. That actually happened lol.”
Only....hear me out... ONLY if there is a white board and/or corkboard with string attached to it in the background with that wild-ass 'Terryology' shit on it.
The man in the first picture was replaced with Don Cheadle because he asked for more money and the actor who plays the character in the second picture was just dropped because of criminal stuff, so the joke is that they should offer that role to the other guy.
Terrance Howard was a crap Rhodes and he would be an even worse Kang. Dude is a crap actor and a horrible person. He lied about having a chemical engineering degree from a school that doesn't even offer them. He's beaten two of his wives, and assaulted a flight attendant for telling him to sit down when the seat belt light was on. He doesn't deserve such a powerful and important role in the MCU.
Looks to me like the middle ones are attached to the back and the outer ones are just left overs looped at the top...(off screen) the other ends of the chains. But then the vid is smol on my phone.
Holy crap you're right. Years and years this has bugged me every time I see this shot, but you just solved it. The "unconnected" chains are extra slack and the other two chains are what's actually holding it.
Jonathon Majors was fired for legal reasons, and some of us think it'd be funny to recast his character with the first MCU actor to be recast, Terence Howard.
Ok so basically what had happened was he apparently suffered from IBS and during filming they had to stop a lot for him to poo. Just wasn’t gonna work out so marvel dumped him.
This guy played Rhodey in Ironman but was recast due to a compensation dispute. Perhaps a mistake, Rhodey turned out to be a huge role appearing in more movies than many name characters. Now, 20yrs later, Kang's actor was fired and the role is being recast. It'd be funny if this guy was given the role.
I wouldn't know Kang from Poontang movie wise, but if one read ANY kind of news report recently you would have seen that the actor was convicted of sexual assault and immediately dropped by the studio. They ran this story to death for days.
Wow! I wish I could do that. (of course my list of "filter outs" would be many pages long) I have to let my eyes burn from reading words like "Kardashian" and "Elon" and "DeSantis".
Easiest mistake they ever made. I'm a huge nerd and I don't give a fuck about continuity, they traded up because Howard thought he was hot shit. You understand how much he got paid for iron man alone? That's live the rest of your life money. Much less the rest of Rhodey's arc. Which BTW one of my favorites and guess what it took. He showed up for the important scenes and then green screened some helmet shit. Easy money.
Yeah, in hindsight it's obvious. But I'm giving him the benefit of doubt. Back then, there was no MCU. It was just a couple Hulk movies and then this Ironman, with a drug addict as the lead. Heck, Marvel didn't even own the movie rights to their best-selling piece, Spider-Man. I could see how working with Marvel back then was a career risk.
Indeed. Lots of people don't realize Norton Hulk is MCU. And check my numbers but Howard was first cast before RDJ and was being paid more BECAUSE he was first cast. Budget, they didn't know what it became. But hey that's kind of an ironic Kang. I want this new Blade movie I want iiiit
It wasn't until seeing this image that I realised they were wearing the same armour. They hold themselves so differently that it doesn't look the same until you see them side by side
Same, I didn't notice the armor until I found that pic. It was bad enough that I spent the entire 1st episode with the new actor trying to figure out who his character was until i looked it up after
At last check he was somewhere in Uganda at some press conference that’s still going on cause he won’t stop talking. It’s been like 3 years now. He’s still talking.
Nope, he really does believe that. That's not the only stupid thing he believes in — look up the time he tried to sell a "new hydrogen technology" to Uganda.

Bring everyone back as Kang. Cheadle, RDJ, Scarjo, Smulders, EVERYONE.

I thought it would be funnier if they threw some shade at Star Wars and went the "Somehow Thanos returned" route.

Ok so basically what had happened was he apparently suffered from IBS and during filming they had to stop a lot for him to poo. Just wasn’t gonna work out so marvel dumped him.
bittenicht39
Funny, but untrue. He just demanded too much money for subsequent appearances after Ironman 1.

This guy played Rhodey in Ironman but was recast due to a compensation dispute. Perhaps a mistake, Rhodey turned out to be a huge role appearing in more movies than many name characters.

samanthadlcruz
it was more than 'compensation dispute' - He wanted a lot more control over the story.

And now terrence howard is suing his agency because they allegedly tricked him into taking less money for his role in Empire.

15 years, but yeah.

My understanding is that he wanted to be paid the same as RDJ, the star. He blew it

So why was Kang recast?

28 divided by 7 = 13. Here's the mathematical proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjo1kC1IMyQ

I'm confused about how his system works. Does he think that 1x32=33 or does he think that 1x32=64? 🤔
Horsenippleking
It’s that 1x1 can’t equal 1 since 1+1=2. It’s such a wildly basic misunderstanding and he has wire models proving his theory
FlintNorth44
Are these wire models like the flat earth models?

The actor created his own math because he thinks the math we use is wrong

But he is right.
AnonOmis1000
I mean, were riffing on him, but thats probably an indication of a mental health issue.
BigTex1
Maybe, but they probably thought the same thing about some math nerd several thousand years ago that came up with addition or something.
Horsenippleking
Yeah he’s also a violent abuser so he’s kind of just a piece of shit. I didn’t know that until I started reading more about him today.
MadnerKami
Probably?
JabesMcJabesface
He does seem to have some things going on but he is also mean, selfish, demanding, and spiteful, so loses a lot of the sympathy.
