Kang the Conqueror shouldn’t look like Tony Stark with a fuller beard.
I’m not criticizing the artist here; this is established continuity.
But like, when you first saw Kang, in the purple helmet with the blue faceplate, didn’t you think that was his actual head? Like he eats soup and french fries though that thing?
Kang is a tyrant who lives outside of time and returns from varying points in his millennia of existence, in different guises, to plague his enemies. He shouldn’t look like he’s just a guy, like Doctor Strange skipped shaving for a few days.
It kind of takes all the sex and mystery out of Kang. Like seeing Santa Claus order from the Cinnabon at the mall or your teacher working a weekend shift at Applebee’s. It’s just not eating good in the neighborhood.
