Majors? Completely agreed, truly a spectacularly dumb being.

Totally this. Marvel has this issue where every recast has to be explained within the MCU (Iron Man, Capt, BP, etc...) which is stupid. We all understand why Majors has to go. Just recast.Just recast.
No big deal.
This is the perfect exit ramp off the Multiverse.Just recast.
No big deal.
It is a dogwhistle.please explain how this is dumb.

As of now, the actor who played the main villain was dropped. Not the main villain.all that buildup and the main villain was dropped lol
recasting him would be weird. Wonder how it'd be explainedAs of now, the actor who played the main villain was dropped. Not the main villain.

As others have said...why does it need to be explained? To answer the bolded...yes. Just have Jonathan Boyega come in and take over Kang. No need to explain.recasting him would be weird. Wonder how it'd be explained

But they did explain Iron Man, Capt, and Black Panther. I think all was unnecessary, except maybe CA as the Falcon gives the character a new dynamic.They didn't explain Don Cheadle as Rhodes.
Not sure what you mean when were Iron Man, Captain America and Black Panther recast? I mean Capt retired and a new captain america was chosen by him. BP died in real life so they did like in the comics and looks like they are making his sister the new BP. Iron Man is not part of the MCU right now in any form I am aware of.But they did explain Iron Man, Capt, and Black Panther.

Also not sure about BW. Did Johansson want out?
I just mean that, Evans and RDJ (Scarlet too?) were done with their roles and obviously Chadwick passed and instead of simply recasting and continuing on their main path, they had to rewrite storylines and explain within the MCU why there's a different actor. This makes writers have to totally pivot. Plus, there are a million good untold Stark and Black Widow stories that won't be told.Not sure what you mean when were Iron Man, Captain America and Black Panther recast?

I get that and agree when something like this happens but I don't think they changed anything for those other characters, these were the plans from the start, more or less. Cap would find the life he never got and grow old, Black Widow would die etc. Stark would sacrifice himself. The only one that required a change was Black Panther as they didn't want to recast the same role and continue as nothing happened because of the way Boswman was great in the role and how he died from cancer so young.I just mean that, Evans and RDJ (Scarlet too?) were done with their roles and obviously Chadwick passed and instead of simply recasting and continuing on their main path, they had to rewrite storylines and explain within the MCU why there's a different actor.

I just think that, instead of changing their stories to accommodate an actor's choice in real life, just recast and stay on the path. Fans get that actors move on or tragically pass, or in this case, get in trouble with the law.
Not sure if that's totally true. Both RDJ and Chris Evan's contracts were up and they were both vocal that they were done with those roles. In hindsight, the endings to both of the characters ended up being iconic, but I'd think Disney would have loved to keep them in their roles. Both could/should have just been recast as have Boseman.I get that and agree when something like this happens but I don't think they changed anything for those other characters, these were the plans from the start, more or less.

Well RDJ is rumored to be coming back in some form so we shall see lol.Not sure if that's totally true.

They did do a nod to it. First time Cheadle walks into a scene in IM2 he makes a meta joke to the audience like "Yes it's me, I'm Rhodey, deal with it".They didn't explain Don Cheadle as Rhodes.
That seems like a 'be careful what you wish for' thing. While I agree in exceptional circumstances, such as with Majors here and to a lesser extent Boseman (respect for the deceased and all), I feel like if you just start swapping out actors like they're James Bond or Dr. Who you could run into a whole different set of problems.I just mean that, Evans and RDJ (Scarlet too?) were done with their roles and obviously Chadwick passed and instead of simply recasting and continuing on their main path, they had to rewrite storylines and explain within the MCU why there's a different actor.
