I think they should recast personally, but I agree that Kang has sucked. However, I think Majors was way over hyped as Kang and he was what sucked about it (of course, with the writing too). But yeah, Ant-Man and Loki S2 he was just weak. Even the end of S1 I wasn't really sold on him.

At this point in time though, I think it could feasibly have another Kang variant come and just kill all the Kang's. In Loki S2 there was a dropped plotline about one of the actresses having some big dire secret. Well, what if she was a Kang? She could lead some rebellion and change the plan.

But if they don't continue with Kang, they'll be fine too. Power scaling wise we have better villains who can lead into Secret Wars. DOOM coming in and fucking up all the Kang's would be great. But we won't really be able to use his likeness for these so we'd probably miss the fun part.
