I Am Doom....discuss me [merged-2]

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think they could easily make the Doom at the end of number one a Doombot. In between when he shoots the heatseaker at Johnny and when Sue arrives in his office, he seemed to go missing, maybe he went off to activate his Doombot and also hitch a ride to Latveria.

I say make it so the real Doom was only in the movie until Ben wakes up in the hospital.

Wasn't there any earlier draft that had Victor crash landing in an escape pod separately from the rest of the FF? And then he stole a green (?) tablecloth and a motorcyle to head back into town? I'm glad we didn't get that version.

What the hell?? Is that for real?? I remember hearing about a seperate escape but not the tablecloth and motorcycle bit. Now I know most of you didn't like the Doom we got but I still gotta remind you guys it could have been ALOT worse.

Here's the part your looking for, from Ain't it Cool News Dated 9-13-04. It's an early draft of the script. It wasn't Von Doom Indudtries, it was Latveria Indudtries. From the time Doom leaves in the shutle from the space station, till after the Bridge sequence, he's not seen. And yes, glad they redid this. This would have been awful. In the script, this is just after the bridge sequence.


From the moment he’s reintroduced on page 44 of the script, though, Doom gives me angst. There’s something wrong with his face, something we don’t see in that first scene. He wraps himself in a green blanket (get it?) and heads into a nearby town, where he freaks out in a diner, revealing that he has super-strength and that he’s covered now with patches of strange organic armor that’s spreading like a virus. Streaks of it, at first, but enough to make him freakishly strong and give him the power to shoot electricity out of his hands. He sees a news report about Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, who have been dubbed “The Fantastic Four” by the media. This makes him freak out even more, and he steals a motorcycle to head back to the city. Which raises my first question. Here’s a guy who is the head of a multi-billion dollar company. Sure, he’s a bit of a creep at the start of the film, but he must have some redeeming qualities. After all, he’s Sue’s boyfriend, isn’t he? And he’s obviously got the acumen to negotiate all the deals that built his empire, right? So why is it that the moment he wakes up disfigured, he starts acting like a supervillain? Why does he have to steal the motorcycle? Why doesn’t he call someone who works for him? While the Fantastic Four work to figure out their powers and what they should do with them, even as the media goes crazy for them, Von Doom returns to Latveria Industries. Again, no one seems to work in his building, and he has to smash his way in. It’s all very dramatic, but it doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Thanks for finding that, Thing. I knew I read that somewhere but couldn't remember where I saw it.
