Kristian Harloff's Favorite Avengers: Doomsday Theory Ties Kang to Doctor Doom, and Even He Admits It Is Confusing

I laid out my favorite theory for Avengers: Doomsday on the show, and I will be upfront that it left even me confused. The gist of it is that Doom was placed on the secret timeline by Kang as a way to prevent himself from being doomed, essentially protecting himself. I tied that back to Stark, saying Stark has always been doomed but not by the Starks themselves. Even as I explained it, I admitted it tangles my own head up.

Why This Doomsday Theory About Kang and Doom Confuses Even Me

The theory hinges on Kang using the secret timeline as a kind of insurance policy, placing Doom there specifically so that Kang himself avoids being doomed. That is a lot of moving parts for one sentence of setup, and I said as much on the show, admitting the theory tends to confuse me even though it is the one I favor going into Avengers: Doomsday.

A Co-host Says Every Doomsday Theory Gives Them a Headache

Right after I explained it, a co-host jumped in and said it was funny I brought that up, because every theory floating around about Doomsday actually gives them a headache. They pointed out that as someone who has seen every single MCU live-action property, the amount of prep work required to be ready for what is coming next in the franchise feels overwhelming.

As the co-host put it, "The amount of homework I feel like I'm going to have to do in order to prepare for what is next is alarming." I agreed with that reaction, responding simply, "Yeah, it's that that confused me," which sums up where both of us landed on trying to untangle the theory in real time.

Do you think you can actually follow this Kang and Doom theory, or does it lose you the same way it lost us?
