    Ugh, stay tuned. If true, I hope the woman is okay. Recasting Kang shouldn’t be a problem: as mentioned above, the variant can always look different too.

    Moon Knight in the very next MCU Release walks on stage and says "Somehow Thanos returned."

    With a multiverse set up, that would be absurdly easy to do.

    Or... Council of Kangs scene we saw. It then blows up. Enter Doom- The true villain of the saga.

    I honestly assumed Kang was going to get smacked down by Doom anyway for Secret Wars

    Depends. What are the reputation risk clauses in his MCU contract?

    This post didn't age well because it didn't even age.

    We do need to move into a new era of responsiveness to concerns about abusive behavior. That's especially true for women, whose concerns have been ignored for too long. Arrest and statements of concern are very appropriate. On the other hand, I'm not sure that fully decisive, final action in less than 12 hours is necessarily the goal either.

    We can afford a day or two to see what develops, which is equally true of the current announcement (eg perhaps the lady feels under duress to recant or perhaps the original description was overstated). All we can really know at this point is that something concerning happened. I hope it's resolved in a way that's best for the mental and physical health of everyone involved.

    EDIT: Want to be clear I'm not picking on Eeth here. There were lots of very charge early responses across multiple threads. I just sort of chose the one I happened to be in to argue for a bit of a slower approach.

    The last time I checked, "assumed innocent until proven guilty" was still a thing.

    Legally, that’s true. But the court of public opinion is not bound by the law.

    Not in the court of public opinion. Which is really not right. Does the Army bring back Majors as a spokesman or is it in his contract that he can be dropped because of this? Or does he still get paid and the Army just stops using the ad.

    So thank goodness we're not run by the court of public opinion.
    Let's at least wait for some more facts to get out, and for things to be investigated.

    Supposedly there is video evidence to support Majors' defense. If true, that would presumably lift the cloud that would otherwise linger over the question of a potential pay-off.

    It would be pretty meta if they fire him, but other variants keep appearing in movies

    As well as multiple eyewitness accounts backing him up. And allegedly she recanted.

    Well, the recanting alone would have been suspect. People would speculate that she was paid hush money or was otherwise pressured to do so in other ways by larger entities. Having additional evidence to support the recanting avoids that.

    Well, we have both Rosses in play now-
    that could mean Red Hulk & Red She-Hulk being setup.

    For whatever reason, when I was putting my silverware away this morning, I had Tony Stark saying, "I just got hit in the head by the Hulk," in my head. Then I said aloud, "He's got some problems."

    Cap 4 basically looks like an Incredible Hulk sequel with Rosses and The Leader and I am totally okay with that

    All this was according to his lawyer, who is not a reliable source

    Anyway, he's been charged. So that stuff about recanting was clearly bull****

    It's not though. He was arrested, released on his recognizance with a temporary restraining order, and is being charged.

    The only reason anything seems to have changed is because people for some reason believed his lawyer's statement.

    Obviously if there's a video or testimony from others that totally refutes it, bring it to light. But otherwise there is nothing at all to say that the facts have changed.
