Only one superhero can stop the tooting:
dont worry nerds that was just doombot, Dr Doom never loses
I actually admire the sheer asspull power of that writing contrivance, I really do: it allows Doctor Doom to lose but also to never lose.
my favorite is when Luke cage beats him up for a 200 dollars debt, because it means a doombot hired Cage to destroy another doombot and then decided to not pay him
I can’t decide if that moment aged badly or aged amazingly.
If they don’t put it in an mcu movie they’re the most cowardly cowards ever. Luke Cage punching his way in to Latveria over a petty debt just for the principle of the thing is awesome. It holds doom to the standards doom holds others to - a debt is a debt.
I’d enjoy that enough to actually watch it and I haven’t seen a MCU movie since, I think, Guardians of the Galaxy. The first one.
I would legit pull some bs like he used his immense science and sorcery powers to weave a probabiltiy manipulating spell to insure than he cannot lose, as any situation where he loses will always involve a doombot no matter what other factors arise.
Sort of like “quantum immortality” except from a cool villain with drip instead of a bunch of sex predator nerds that need to read another book.
Yeh.
Man, do you remember “The One”, that silly Jet Li movie where Evil Jet Li learned that if you travel across dimensions and kill your alternate selves you gain power until you’re almost a god? And then Good Jet Li and Evil Jet Li have to fight each other highlander style?
That was MST3K tier good times. I had fun.
doombots stay winning

Aww I like commando sweaters. : (
Fantastic 4 got that Ohio rizz
When I was a kid and wasn’t burned out of Marvel, I did see Doctor Doom as the coolest looking character, and probably the coolest overall villain, which was peculiar because I didn’t care about the Fantastic 4 at all.
There was a crossover comic against Spider-Man (yeah a lot of those but bear with me) where he was kicking Spider-Man’s ass for a while until he found out that Spider-Man wasn’t the guy that stole an heirloom jewel that had belonged to his mother. He just… left and went to deal with the guy that actually did. That’s rizz.
Growing up is realizing that Doom is the only Marvel hero.
He really is a fantasy character because he’s a rich and powerful egomaniac who is actually smart and actually acknowledges material conditions enough to actually want to improve society somewhat, at least depending on the writer that issue.
Doom: I am going to improve conditions for the people of Latveria somewhat
Reed Richards: Over my dead body
Doom: I accept your proposal
I really want a movie where it’s all about Doom, but it’s an office comedy where he’s trying to get literally any paperwork done but super-heroes and other weird shit keep getting in the way. Almost everyone in the office is doombots and it’s a running gag that they all have names for each other, but each one insists they’re the real Doom and everyone call them Doom.
The F4 remain, to me, the strangest marvel property. The four least cool people you could imagine - body image guy, libido man, the most divorced married man, and literally established the trope of women being given the power to be invisible woman fighting the coolest guy in the history of comics who is also the only person in comic books who can actually administer a country competently.
I actually kind of like Ben, Johnny, and Sue each for their own reasons but no disagreement on Reed. Thats why I’m glad that The Maker exists. “Reed Richards, but actually he’s incredibly evil” makes so much sense as a character.
Agreed. The rest of the group is okay, it’s just Reed is such an anchor. Ben trying to come to terms with what happened to him is super relatable.
Plus they’ve done similar things with Sue in the comics that they’ve done with like, Wanda and Jean, where they just go “yeah the original idea for them was lame and kinda sexist so lets just make them incredible badasses actually”.
