I just hope she will be a good character. I'd rather have a "weak" good character than a powerful bad one
I was gonna say a character who fits the powerful bad one criteria but idk if I'd get cooked or not

I already really like MCU Kamala but I don't think she'd work for me as much if it wasn't for Iman's performance.

Iman is definitely the reason why this character works. The series definitely wasn't for me, too Disney Channel teenage movie-like but her performance was really good and brought a lot of energy and life to the character. Without that, Kamala would just be super bland. I really don't have a lot of expectations for The Marvels (not even in terms of good feats and that is the best I expect from that movie) so I hope at least Kamala will be as good as she is in the series
 
 
TLDR: They’re lost. They’re considering moving away from Kang’s importance, they’re swapping movie deadlines suddenly, movies are being fatally restarted, delayed, and recast.
 
Literally just recast. People like Kang again after Season 2 of Loki
I can handle Jonathan Majors being recast. As long as they don't jump the gun and replace him before he's deemed innocent or sth, and the next actor's performance isn't a complete shitshow and actually a good substitute, I'll only be minorly upset at worst. Mark Ruffalo and Don Cheadle are right there

But moving away from the a character whose name is literally in the title of an Avengers movie just seems downright stupid

I expect Iman Vellani to carry the movie

It's only an actor statement, but it at least seems worth mentioning that the Captain Marvel Movie Special apparently has a statement from Jude Law that Carol Danvers was brought back to life with the Kree blood transfusion, suggesting that she was actually dead for a little while:

This is, coincidentally or not, consistent with the effects Kree blood had on humans in Agents of SHIELD (though Coulson being alive post-Avengers was still referenced in the Wakanda Files book)
 
Kinda stupid that objects that exist in every universe surpass the otherwise most powerful being in the multiverse at their fullest
 
Well, he has the ability to amp himself, but whether he can use the Stones to power himself like Ultron, I dunno
The way I saw it, was that What If Ultron made his suit of armor specifically to safely channel the power of the Infinity Stones through his whole body without having to do a lot of gestures, unlike the Infinity Gauntlet which always needs gestures to activate, and seems to concentrate all its power into the arm wielding it.
 
Also, think of this. The Nano Gauntlet vs the Mark 85.

Prof. Hulk, despite being more well suited to handle the power of the Infinity Stones, was still in immense pain when using the Nano Gauntlet.

Whereas, Tony, despite dying afterwards, was able to endure the pain better than Prof. Hulk did when using the Mark 85 in place of the Nano Gauntlet.

It's also applicable to the last episode of What If S1, when Zola and Killmonger were fighting over the stones.

When Zola was taking the stones away from Killmonger, he was also trying to deconstruct and transfer Infinity Ultron's Armor to him.

Same as how Killmonger used an Ultron Sentry head to deconstruct and transfer Infinity Ultron's Armor and the Infinity Stones to himself, then channel their power without any repercussions.

From what I understand, IU didn't make the armor for that. The reason why he could channel the Stones safely is because he's a machine and thus isn't affected by the gamma radiation of the Stones like an organic being would be. The armor is just there to hold the Stones and keep them with him, it's more useful and enables him to get around the whole need a gesture thing but I was always under the impression he didn't need it to channel the Stones

I think they're kind of panicking honestly. For a decade the MCU was a total success and they thought it would be easy to follow Endgame and they could make tons and tons of series and movies. Unfortunately, the success isn't as big, their series get more and more criticism and people are more and more open about the fact they're starting to be tired of superhero stuff being everywhere, especially Marvel. The MCU formula is getting weaker. To me, they clearly didn't expect things to turn out like this, they thought they were safe and could use the same formula but it's not really working. They're tried to ignore it but they simply can't now. I mean, look at how they reacted to Ant-Man 3's release, apparently they thought this would be a big hit no matter what and they were surprised when it wasn't.

They had everything planned thinking this was a sure success but now they see they're starting to losing viewers, fans and money. They didn't expect that. And now the actor playing their next big Thanos-scale villain is under fire.
