How Marvel Studios Can Salvage Kang The Conqueror

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

Kang the Conqueror was supposed to be the next big threat for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was poised to usher in the events that would culminate in Avengers: Secret Wars.

However, that did not happen. Marvel Studios changed their plans and with the firing of Jonathan Majors, Kang’s role in the future of the MCU is uncertain. But his story need not end.

In this video, I make the case that Kang can be salvaged. With the right approach, he can still be a major threat in a future phase of the MCU. Enjoy!

Why The Maker Could Be The Ultimate Villain For The MCU

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is very much in flux, even with Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon. But if the MCU is to continue beyond that movie, it’ll need a new villain.

And I strongly believe the Maker should be that villain.

He’s not just an evil, broken version of Reed Richards. He is the ultimate worst case scenario for any Marvel universe. And he would present a truly unique threat to the MCU for multiple phases. Enjoy!

PS: I started working on this video before Fantastic Four: First Steps came out. And I was too far along when I eventually saw it. So, please keep that in mind.

Ultimate Universe One Year Later: Promise, Outlook, And Concerns

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I reflect on how Marvel’s all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe has developed over the course of the past year. It has been generally good, but with a fair amount of not-so-good here and there. Things did slow for a while, but new series and new developments in 2025 hold great promise that’s definitely worth discussing. Enjoy!

Thought Experiment: How Much Power Can One Person Effectively Wield?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment about the nature of power and wielding it effectively. Whether in ancient times or during a modern day election season, people seek power and they seek to wield it. The extent to which they’re effective tends to vary wildly.

But that raises an important question. Just how much power can one person effectively wield?

The implications of this question are far-reaching. Our society needs people in power to run effectively. But what is the limit? And how do we navigate it? I welcome any additional insights or thoughts. Enjoy!

Ultimate Marvel Universe 6160: The State Of This New Marvel Universe And Its Ultimate Future

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

It’s been a year since Marvel launched and all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe. Jonathan Hickman got things going with Ultimate Invasion. Since then, multiple new series have come out. And the aftermath of Ultimate Invasion has been building towards a major showdown against the Maker’s Council.

In this video, I take a moment to reflect on how far this new Ultimate Universe has come in the past year, where it may go moving forward, and potential pitfalls it may encounter along the way. Enjoy!

Dr. Doom vs. Emperor Palpatine: Who Is The Better Ruler?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video analyzes two iconic villains who seek to rule over all, Emperor Palpatine and Dr. Doom.

Which is the better ruler?

Who would you rather live under?

How does their agenda make them great villains?

There’s a lot to consider when reviewing their personas, their backstories, and their capabilities. But when it comes to villainous rulers, these two set the highest of bars. Enjoy!

How Jason Aaron’s Heroes Reborn Won Me Over

The following is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is both a review and a retrospect of Jason Aaron’s Heroes Reborn, a major crossover event from 2021, which is also the same name of a major mini-series from the late 90s. It was a strange event and one with a title that carried a lot of baggage. I know because I remember that mini-series and it was forgotten for a good reason.

As a result, I freely admit I was very skeptical about this series. But I still gave it a chance. Much to my surprise, it exceeded my expectations in so many unexpected ways. And since it’s release, I think it’s worth exploring and celebrating. Enjoy!
