Avengers 5writer assures that Kang will be much different from Thanos
The MCU is on its way to kickstart its ambitious phase 5 with the release ofAnt-man And The Wasp: Quantumanianext month. Just before the release of the movie, anAvengers 5writer provided some new insight into Kang’s character and its key difference from Thanos.
Even though the MCU struggled for a long time to create memorable villains, it all changed with the inclusion of the Mad Titan Thanos in the Infinity Saga. But theAvengers 5writer Jeff Loveness expressed that the upcoming villain Kang will be much more compassionate and different from the mad titan because of him being a human. He further stated,
“To me, it’s all about the humanity. Obviously, Thanos is a great, iconic villain, but he’s also a big purple CGI guy. He’s an alien from outer space. The thing I really wanted to lean into is that Kang is a human being.”
The writer also emphasized that the character’s humanity and vulnerability will be explored much more in the upcoming movies. He is also confident that Jonathan Majors’ villain will be able to match the villainous standards of Josh Brolin’s Thanos on an exponential level.

Fans call outAvengers 5writer for his comments on Thanos and Kang The Conqueror
Many fans already believe that Jonathan Major will deliver an exceptional performance asKang The Conquerorand will justify his role as the biggest threat to our heroes yet. But some fans have been a little perplexed by the writer’s recent comment about the new villain being different from Thanos because he is a human.
Of course, fans understand that Kang is a human and Thanos is a big alien from Titan, but calling them different villains just because of their origins didn’t sit right with some fans. And the writer calling Thanos a big purple CGI villain with no human side rubbed some fans the wrong way.
Fans argued that even though Thanos is a big purple CGI monstrosity on the outside, he still has emotions and fans can empathize with the reasons behind his actions even if they aren’t morally correct. Fans also sympathized with the Mad Titan when he had to sacrifice his daughter Gamora to progress toward his goal.

Thanos was a human being too IMO. One really sympathized with him on a human level. (I know he was a Titan)

Although some fans have been bewildered by the director’s viewpoint on Thanos, following Kang’s more human side who was born on earth, can be an interesting concept. Fans also hope that Jonathan Majors’ upcoming villain will match the standards set by the Mad Titan.
