Guys....you are not "discussing" Doom. Please get back on track here.

You mean, going from armored genius who is King of a small, yet powerful, country (who thinks himself above EVERYONE) to a bussinessman who's in love with Sue and jealous of Reed for stealing his girlfriend and who has organic steel skin instead of being only scared to the head is NOT destroying the character ? What does it take for you ?

Yes, I do admit it's not "ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING the core aspects of Doom's character" (if it was an old woman called Victress Van Dammne who could shoot fireball through her ass, then yes, by God, it would be absolutely destroying his core character. Then again, i'm having this feeling that if THAT were to happen, some of you might still defend it), but it sure isn't that far away.

That wasn't the point of her post. Let me repost the FIRST paragraph:

Nobody here is preferring a less-faithful Doom to a more-faithful one. I know I'd take a Doom that was comic-faithful anyday of the week. I admit, I wasn't happy when I heard about the changes either. Anyone who knows me knows that I love the comic and I love the comic's (if not COMICS') greatest villain. What we are trying to do is take into account the changes they have made to Doom and justify them rationally. Am I saying we're supposed to like these changes? No. Some of us are just trying to make sense of them.

That wasn't the point of her post. Let me repost the FIRST paragraph:

Um, I didn't respond to her main point because I pretty much agree with it. We don't know yet if it will be a "Victor Von Doom who is a businessman because there is a need to" OR if it will be a "Doom by name only".
And so, I saw no need to respond to what I already agree.

But, if you read her full post:

"Originally Posted by Dissonance
The way I see it, they aren't ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING the core aspects of Doom's character by making him into a CEO. Your average Joe American views the corporate world as power-hungry and villainous. Hell, the guy is so vain that he builds a gigantic statue dedicated to HIMSELF right in front of his own building. Maybe you see it as a complete and utter rape of the soul of Victor von Doom, but I don't."

She did say they weren't ABSOLUTELY DESTROYING the character. I only responded to that. How ? By saying that (if they go the way of the two scripts we have heard of, I mean) it sure as heck wouldn't be that far away.

FFINO vs. DDINO:
...the legendary bastardization crashes back to Earth in 2005.

Rated PG-13 for being a Pretty Ghastly adaptation to which only 13-year-olds and their intellectual equivalents or inferiors don't even attempt to critically analyze.
