    The absolute worst part about this is that I know exactly what they're building up to

    Kang is a time-traveling supervillain, like that's literally all he does is go through time and fuck with shit

    The fact that there's going to be a Secret Wars movie so soon after the Fantastic Four means that they're going to do the comic book route and have a whole thing where Kang destabilizes reality with his time traveling gibberish and it starts collapsing

    This is gonna be like the Infinity Wars ending where Thanos wins, but with the twist that Kang probably gets beat up, but it's too late to reverse the damage

    All seems lost, except oh no, Dr. Doom shows up and manages to save reality by personally manipulating it into a world where he's in charge of everything and becomes a nigh-omnipotent godhead

    Secret Wars is gonna be about undoing that and beating Dr. Doom, but whoops, now the universes are all smooshing together

    Look, it's all new guys for you to buy toys of, including the live-action premiere of Miles Morales and some other guys

      Yeah, if you have any knowledge of the books, the recent Dr. Strange flick pretty much set up the entire incursion story. But if they follow the books, they will have to do a shit load of world building - like, two Reed Richards but one is evil and a kid? Captain Britain, Mr. Sinister, Marvel Zombies... It's all just too much. The 2016 Secret Wars book was average at best - it went on too long and had a really shit ending. The original from the 80's is one of my favourites, where they just all have a massive ruckus, Doom kills God, and they all get home in time for tea.

        The solution is cutting out everything interesting.
