Episode Details

One of the most famous Avengers storylines of the 2000s… and the main villain is barely there?

In Part 1 of our deep dive into Marvel’s The Kang Dynasty, Dylan walks Corey and Jon through the first half of the storyline, where the plot somehow manages to involve almost every minor Marvel hero while Kang himself stays largely offstage.

The trio breaks down how the story both starts and stops multiple times, escalates threats but only for a little while, and reshapes the Avengers—while also questioning whether a story called The Kang Dynasty should maybe feature Kang a little more.

🧠 Topics discussed include:

The massive scope of The Kang Dynasty in regards to issue count

Why the early chapters focus on everyone except Kang

How useless and easily forgettable the Avengers roster was at the time

B Plots, C Plots, and D Plots all while the A Plot is nowhere on the page

Whether the setup works or feels misleading If you’re a fan of Avengers comics, Marvel events, or detailed story breakdowns with a mix of analysis and humor, this episode is the perfect entry point into one of Marvel’s most talked-about arcs. Part 2 is coming soon, where Kang finally takes center stage—and the payoff gets judged.
