Promotional materials have revealed the look of Doctor Doom in the MCU. He looks great, absolutely comics accurate. I still have my suspicions as to how much of the film he will actually be wearing his mask. Doom never removes it in the comics, but I can't see that being the case in the movie when Marvel went through all of the expense to hire Robert Downey Jr. for the role.
DUM DE DUM DUM! dum de dum dum!! Only the faces have been changed to protect the actors!! And the Inferior Five are on the cover? RIGHTEOUS!! of course the question is did Vic come AFTER they already had a battle?? possible. What could he need any of them (or all) for?? Dealing with the Impossible Man??
ReplyDeleteI love the Inferior Five! Doom hasn't got a chance.
ReplyDelete@Det. Tobor: maybe they were beat up by a mind-controlled Squirrel Girl, so Dr. Doom wants to team up with I-5 in order to get revenge.
ReplyDelete@Ross: I hope the open-face time is kept to a decent minimum. Like, say, 49% at most? Because that's one of the things I feel ruined the Spider-Maguire trilogy. Too much public exposure, in-story.
@Carycomic: maybe she was under the influence of the Condiment King's newest invention...the condimento-helmet.
DeleteI can just see the end of Scene 1:
ReplyDeleteDoom: "If you assist me with this matter, I shall pay you handsomely. You may even be able to pay off the mortgage on this... 'Headquarters' of yours."
Merryman: "Okay, we get that. But why us, Doom? Why seek out the Inferior Five?"
Doom: "Because you... *sigh* You're the only ones who can."
(Awkwardman, Dumb Bunny, and the Blimp promptly faint.)
Yay! The I-5!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be Bunny. Doom will make her an offer she can't understand.
I think you left out an M in the cover blurb, Ross. "Which one of the will accept?"
ReplyDeleteThis just in, Awkwardman has the AI vote. If Von Doom wants anyone of the team then he needs not the best. Awkwardman covers a lot of territory by land and by sea. A robot could only do "great" unless Von Doom can't make it limited enough in talent. Then its fly fly fly. HORSEFEATHERS AWAY! by the ever so humbled H.H.HORSEFEATHERS
ReplyDeleteI say that Capt. Blimp was treating the whole group to cheeseburgers, in honor of National Cheeseburger Day (it's true; I heard it on the radio this morning!), when the diner got attacked by Squirrel Girl and Monkey Joe because they had quit cooking with peanut oil. Thereby depriving Monkey Joe of leftover peanuts.
ReplyDeleteHaving Robert Downey Jr. be Doom is just a ploy for more viewers in theatre and for that reason I will not be there although I have seen every other one there.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Doom showing face he has in past be they have so many changes and retcons it makes no difference. It is a tradition in MCU for faces to be revealed even if it makes no sense as in Spider-Man movie where Spider-Man had his face revealed to crowd close up.
