Saturday Night Live?

What's that 2nd pic?

A Youtube series called Assist Me, which focused on tutorials for the game Marvel vs Capcom 3.

[Spider-Vader]

This was the most disgusting adaptation of a character I've ever seen. I can't believe this has happened to the second best villain of all-time.

 

[The Infernal]

I never realized it until watching the first Story film two days ago, but McMahon's Doom had a sparkly silver shirt under his cloak. I always thought that was armor.


That reminds me. Where'd Doom get his green cape in this movie?

He had some time to kill off screen so he pulled at a loose green thread and took up knitting.

 

[Farren]

The cape probably came from the bottom of a trash can. Same place the rest of the film came from.

 

[Mr.T]

There's a lot to dislike about this film, but Doom is the biggest problem I have with it. Bad, ridiculous, terrible....any negative word fits right in.

 

[The Infernal]

The cape probably came from the bottom of a trash can. Same place the rest of the film came from.

I'm reminded of the Family Guy dimension jump episode and the scene where they found out where all the crap goes. The N-zone must be that dimension.

 

[Dark Raven]

Since Doom is no longer a hacker or internet troll anymore, and is hoping for a box office miracle in the face of everyone betting against him, this thread should be now retitled "I am Doom! What odds dare stand against me?"

 

[Snow Queen]

It only just occurred to me that mid-20s Doom has been creeping on only now 18 year old Sue for years. Umm...

 

[DarKush]

I liked Doom in this film. I think McMahon's Doom got more development, but Kebbell's Doom felt more frightening to me. When he first displays his powers I thought that was very well done and showed how much of a threat he was. I also liked his face plate (though it might have been a little too long) and his glowing eyes.

His motivations weren't well fleshed out and it was like he went zero to a million real quick in what he wanted to do. Granted his power set also wasn't defined either.

As for Victor, I thought Kebbell did fine in that role as well. Though he didn't get a lot of development I saw hints of jealousy and there was the arrogance. And his instability had been referred to in one of his prior acts.

Yeah, I don't think they thought about that one too well. Before she turned 18, this Doom was a bit of a paedophille.

 

[Drz]

Victor's best scene is sticking the finger to the government and having a drink with his frenemies. Doom's Cronenberg scanners moment is really cool and the tune playing works well with it.

Between that, the Ben getting regularly "clobbered" by his brother, and the horrifying accident after getting drunk, I think poor Josh may be trying to tell us something...

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

So this is the second time where a group of dudes get powers by touching some shady glowing stuff in trank's movies

It's the second time a lead was a child abuse victim, it's the second time his film had a major scene involving teenage drinking, it's the second time the psychotic friend turned villain attacked his father figure...

 

[The Guard]

He fell into a massive explosion of energy. Touching it just set off the chain reaction.

 

[Loki882]

How do you managed to screw up Doctor Doom? HE'S DOCTOR DOOM!! If ANY villain screams "epic and awesome," it's him. Yet they've screwed him up THREE times in THREE films across TWO different continuities. It's remarkable that they can keep getting say, Magneto, so completely right, and Doom so completely wrong? It's mindboggling to me.

Spoiler

Toby Kebbell does his best, but they really waste him. Doom's motivations are completely nonsensical and poorly explained, his look is ridiculous, his Scanners-like powers are cool, but I hate that they gave Doom superpowers again (he doesn't need them). And his whole plot is shoved into the last reel of the film. Oh and now he's apparently dead.

It's remarkable that Toby Kebbell plays a much better/more nuanced villain in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and he's a mo-capped Ape in that film.

It seems like Trank is trying to work through some personal issues via his films.

 

[Loki882]

Makes me wonder what we'd have gotten if he'd directing the Han Solo movie that they're doing? Han's abusive family life, teen drinking, and betrayal by his good buddy (not Lando), blech.

Han would've gotten that scar on his chin from the beating he took from his older brother in his childhood.

 

[The Infernal]

To say Doom's motivations weren't developed seem like an understatement. He's like if you gave a very vague description of Ultron in Avengers and never elaborated.

 

[Eddie]

It turns out Greedo was a junkie that beat his father after he insulted his son's slow trigger finger one too many times. Han tried to stop him, but it caused a real emotional rift between the two. You have no idea how much Han was hurting inside when he had to kill Greedo years later.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Han shot first. Shots of heroin to sooth the pains of child abuse.
