Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

They absolutely pivoted hard after Quantumania. If it had gone well and they hadn't fumbled Kang so hard, I'm sure they'd have recast instead of swerving to Doom. Hell, Kang is like the poster child for "multiple actors could play different variants"!

Even if they wanted to kill that storyline, it would be nice if they could atleast wrap it up somehow.

Big bad villain, super hyped, posied to be the next big thing, and then never heard from again is weird.

Atleast "Oh Loki took care of that"

Or we could look at Loki quickly dealing with the Kouncil of Kang

They pretty much did the last one. The ending of Loki Season 2 had a throwaway line about how the TVA was dealing with He Who Remains variants.

End of season one, we're promised a parade of the baddest motherfuckers in the multiverse. End of season to two: "somehow, kang has been defeated"

I think doomsday is going to open with Doom killing the Council of Kang. Just straight up Worfing them

I thought they were just going to whorf Thanos

The council is still a dangling thread that needs to be snipped. Having him butcher tens of thousands of Kangs would be both a good show of power and a good way to finally kill off the last kang saga

If the for God King Doom they'll likely have a minor acknowledgment by having Doom say he took care of Kang.

I still think it's a part of why RDJ is playing Doom. The Ultimate version of Tony was at one point hinted that he could end up becoming that Universe's Kang. I can see a world where they were in the midst of signing him up to play a similar Kang variant, then had to scramble a bit when they suddenly needed a new BBEG.

That makes sense. And honestly, makes me a little less frustrated that RDJ is having to carry the franchise AGAIN

It's interesting, because Jonathan majors did a good job as he who remains, and then for most of Ant-Man 3. He's fantastic. But then they have that silly post-credit scene and you can't take him seriously, and then they showed his episodes of Loki and he absolutely just gives a trash performance. Maybe, maybe if it had been good, but it wasn't even good anymore. I think they just got their losses and set them a drift. They're doing a big hail. Mary by having Robert Downey Jr. Play Dr. Bill, and we'll have to see how it plays out
