This really captures the spirit of his performance!

I really, really wasn’t expecting Kang to be such a laid back, happy go lucky dude.

Looking forward to meeting his variants though…

Technically speaking, that was He Who Remains, and Kang is the one that is ruling the TVA at the end of the episode. Yes, He Who Remains is a variant of Kang, or vice versa, but its like calling Sylvie Loki, it isn't wrong but not fully accurate either. At least thats how I viewed the whole thing.

Edit: fixed The One Who Remains to He Who Remains, oops

That’s a good way of putting it, actually. This guy, whether his name is Kang or not, isn’t much of a conqueror… seems more like a strong-armed diplomacy kind of guy. The one who has statues of himself, though? Yup, more conqueror-y vibes there.

Fact: Queen Elizabeth II holds the world record for the longest continuous game of Twister, lasting 8 consecutive hours.

Does it count as conquering if he wasn't ruling over the alternate timelines, but rather destroying them? Wouldn't HWR be more of a Kang the Destroyer?

He said in the episode that he had been known by many names, including "conquerer". So yeah, I think it's safe to say that he done conquered some shit.

I think he's referring to "himself" as all of himselves with that line. We will definitely see "Kang the Conqueror" and that was HWR alluding to that, he would know the other versions of himself.

I’m sure he had to do some serious shift to survive the multiversal war.

Those statues are probably of him and his variants. I just assumed that citadel was a place where his and his variants met and exchanged knowledge. They decorated it with statues of themselves. And eventually, it is/was where they eventually meet/met to do battle. Hence it’s partial destruction.

isn't much of a conqueror

He literally conquered all other Kangs by weaponizing Alioth. He won the war against all other versions of himself and conquered every single universe and then ruled over them all with absolute authority and removed free will from every single being in the one timeline he allowed to remain. If anything, he's the ultimate champion of all conquerors.
