Of course, the franchise’s biggest names and most integral supporting players are so deeply baked into the DNA of the mythology that even widespread backlash from the fandom wouldn’t see them phased out, but the track record hasn’t exactly yielded a 100 percent success rate.

The scene-stealing Kronan was warmly embraced when he debuted in Thor: Ragnarok, only for many to find his contributions to Love and Thunder grating more than anything else. It’s clear that a lot of people would love for him to fade away from the spotlight, while at the same time lamenting the fact that others with massive potential were shuffled off way too soon.

Among them are Frank Grillo’s Crossbones, Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaue, Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Quicksilver, and Thomas Kretschmann’s Baron Von Strucker to name but a small few, and it’s hard to argue.
