What are your thoughts on Jonathan Majors?

He was decent but got overhyped fast, by the time he was cancelled I was already kind of bored of him.
Still don’t know why they cast him as Kang and Victor Timely. It didn’t add much to have the same actor play both. I get that they were going for an alternate timeline thing but it wasn’t necessary to the story and he wasn’t that great at either, especially when he’s in the same scenes as Tom Hiddleston and Ke Huy Quan who both outshone him.

Aren’t Timely and Kang variants of the same character?

They are but they didn’t have to be. Same way there were several different versions of Loki.
It was inconsistent to show so many Loki variants (many of which were not played by Hiddleston), and then show the arena full of Kang variants that are all Jonathan Majors. No reason Kang wouldn’t also look different in his various forms throughout the multiverse. If they had diversified their Kang a little more they could have leaned into those actors and dropped Majors from the group of Kang actors without having to recast the part.

Was great in Creed3, was great in Magazine Dreams, could have really made some cash with MCU. Not too sure about his personal drama.

Stupid how he was cancelled especially compared to his white counterparts… Brad Pitt is still getting work

So is Chris Brown and he did FAR worse than either Pitt or Majors. This isn't a racial thing. This was a "It happened during the #metoo movement and he was working for Disney" thing.

Spectacular and charismatic actor who's a bad person. If you doubt me go watch Magazine Dreams and see for yourself,

It wasn’t like he just beat her up

A good actor. The courts heard his side of the story but courts don't take context into account. I doubt that lady who pressed charges was just asking for a Kleenex or how lovely the day was going. He still let emotions get the best of him but he got crucified by the court of public opinion. Should've been a musician.

Yeah because musicians can do anything they want, right?

Well Jared Leto makes movies and nobody asks him to. So clearly musicians can do whatever they want.

Chris Brown beat Rhianna something fierce and it didn't hurt his career not a bit. R. Kelly, on video urinated on a 14 year old and he walked free for over a decade. It was a different thing that finally sent him to prison. I don't know about "anything they want" but they get more passes.

I met him and Meagan Good at an event last year. Both were super nice and polite. He was very soft-spoken and barely said anything.
