Fant4stic "I am DOOM! What MODS Dare Stand Against Me!

[Black Narcissus]

So are we going to act like Doom didn't hack all those celebrities? What an evil mastermind.

They made the greatest Marvel villain into a 4chan member.

Oh lawd.

Maybe 4Doom will distribute nude selfies of all the Marvel women that Fox own which are stored on the Galactus cloud.

Well, we know that Mystique has already had quite a few.

I think you've just stumbled across the plot to that supposed Fantastic Four/X-Men crossover film.

BTW, Domashev's already taking credit for this one: (Warning: NSFW)

.@ArleighTSL DOOM cannot deny that he leaked this nude photo of the accursed Susan Richards.

Maybe it will suck, maybe not, is better to be cautious just in case, you know stranger things have happened.

Unlike Doom however, the Joker didn't have a background in TDK. He could have been the Red Hood, or he could've had any kind of accident that gave him his scars. It was left ambiguous and deliberately mysterious. It wasn't that he was now something completely different from how he was originally envisioned. With Doom, he's been changed from the Monarch of Latveria to a programmer/blogger, which gives him a specific background.

Victor Domashev: anti-social computer programmer is going to suck. It's Geeko all over again. Dragonball Evolution isn't completely terrible (some part's are OK, there are actually a (very) few interesting nods to the source material), but as soon as the fans heard about Goku being in High School we had a solid idea of what to expect. Could parts of this new Fantastic Four be good? Sure. D00M and his blog will not be one of those parts.

It depends on how they execute the whole blogger angle, if is just a flashback before he becomes Doom, maybe it won't be so bad. If he's Doom for most of the movie, uses drone Doom bots and is a freaking badass, it could work, who knows.

Letting other nerds do your thinking for you leads to situations where you've found yourself paying hard-earned money to see drek like Green Lantern or Wolverine Origins. No thanks.

 

[Eddie]

Getting it over well with quick is for the best, but ruining the character will effect the whole film even if they try to sweep in under the rug. Case in point, Dragonball Evolution. High School student Goku is so far removed from the source material that it effected the entire film. The thing is, though, that the school scenes make up a surprisingly short amount of the film. The film moves on to a more adventurous plot that vaguely resembles parts of the original. By writing Goku as a schoolboy, however, the script butchered the character for the rest of the film. Later scenes felt the need to include a very whiny Goku that pines after his crush. That fits with the Goku they establish in the opening, but it doesn't work as a legitimate take on Goku. D00M is NOT going to flip a 180 in characterization 15 minutes in. By establishing him as an anti-social blogger at the beginning, the writers will pretty much be forced to tie that in to later scenes.

I didn't like the Green Lantern suit nor the trailers, so I saved my money. If I don't like the trailer for this one, the same will happen.

There's a problem with this argument. Batman lends himself more readily to a more grounded and gritty interpretation, because neither he nor the Joker have superpowers.

But here we are talking about the FANTASTIC Four, not the Gritty Four, not the Grounded Four, but the FANTASTIC Four. While Heath's Joker got to the heart of the character without, say, permawhite, it seems less likely to me that a version of Doom as a shy computer geek will be anything but underwhelming. Again, Batman and his world were always primed for grounded noir interpretations. But the fantastic four, well, their universe is fantastical i.e. fantasy. Alterations to that get closer to undermining the heart of their story.

To my mind, this situation is less analogous to Heath's Joker and more analogous to the Star Wars prequel's midichlorian explanation of the Force. The Force never needed to be explained... the audience was always just fine with it being a mystical energy field. Having grounded takes on a universe is fine as far as it goes, but it becomes cancerous when taken too far, and can betray a sense of shame or insecurity in the filmmaker's view of the source material.

And people are well within their rights to dislike the stink on this project before they ever see a trailer, without others barging in to tell them how irrational they are and how they should 'calm down' or 'give it a chance'.

I had to stop watching by 2 minutes in. That guy doesn't have a ****ing clue what he's talking about. If I were in the room with him I'd smack him across the head. That comparison isn't even in the remote vicinity of being accurate.

It's John Campea, so that says it all. I stopped taking him seriously as soon as his name popped up.

Yeah or it's exactly how they said it'll be and he'll be a "nerdy" programmer who blogs under the name Doom and then gets "powers."

And it'll suck balls.

 

[Eddie]

That rumored synopsis makes it sound like the Doombots are just realistic military drones. That is nowhere near as cool as an army of robots in Doom's likeness.

You're not free to make thinly-veiled attacks and try and bait others into an argument so I suggest you lose the aggressive attitude.

No, how a storyline is executed is not going to help a storyline that really isn't about the character that it is supposed to be about. It would have been better to simply bring out a villain that wasn't a little bit thinly veiled as Doom. But, to even think this character will be near the villain that the fans of the F4 have known for decades is naive at best.

He's not Doom, so how could he be Doom for most of the movie? Make stupid changes like this to someone like Mole Man....NOT Doom one of, and to many THE best villain in comicdom....

Also, if the long time fans of this comic want to vent here about their frustrations about this movie, they have every right to do so. They certainly don't need you telling them how, or what they should feel, or if it is justified or not. Give YOUR opinion ON THE MOVIE. Keep it to that, and it will be all good.

 

[Spooderman]

Doctor Doom using the internet and cyberhacking could definitely be a good idea.

What bugs me is how he said that, but not that Doom was the dictator of Latveria. Everyone knows who Doom is, so it wouldn't be a spoiler if that turned out to be the case. What this interview tells me is that Doom is a hacker and not much more.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I wouldn't care much if they used some minor villain and made these changes. Mole Man? Go for it! It is the fact that is one of the all-time great iconic comic book villains in Dr. Doom that really gets me.

 

[C. Lee]

What I can't understand is...how people can actually defend the blogger Doom idea.

If you want to say that the idea of an internet blogger turning into a villian is a neat new idea, fine, go for that, no problem....but don't call him Doom, because that is about as far away from the character as you could go without making him instead a talking monkey. You want a villian that is a blogger.....good. But To take a character with the history of Doom and make him an internet troll....that's just preposterous.

 

[EssayM]

Troll Doom has more or less killed my hope for this movie.

There's a tiny sliver left, but it's on major life support.

Fox just has no idea what they're doing with this, and I feel bad for all the talented people being roped into this.
