A series on netflix to promote a movie would never happen. Otherwise the filmmakers run into the issue of most of their audience never watching it and having to re-explain certain things.
That's why I pointed out the Black Panther comparison. In the film we start with Doom already in power, his backstory covered in well written dialog that does drag the film and we can jump into the current story. The we also get to see his full backstory
I disagree. It works for Daredevil and the others because they are focusing on "street-level" stories instead of bigger picture threats.
Doctor Doom could not be fully realized on a TV budget.
The other reason it wouldn't be a dream come true, it pretty much keeps Doom on TV and never being able to interact with the bigger characters onscreen since Marvel Film and Marvel TV are so hands off each other these days.
You can definitely do it on a budget, it's amazing the effects you can do on a budget these days. Plus an adaptation of Book of Doom would not necessarily need that great of a budget.
I'm also only picturing a miniseries. 6-8 episodes no season 2, not an on-going series. I'd be something like Breaking Bad, where we see Victor grow up to become the villain: Doctor Doom. From his childhood where his mother practiced the dark arts and the Latverian government being abusive towards his people. His studying in America, meeting Richards, and getting scarred during an experiment. Him throwing himself into the dark arts, successfully merging technology and magic. Final episode would be him crafting the suit as a weapon with a perfect blend of magic and technology and using it to overthrow the latverian. Final Shot is him on the thrown.
The only reason the films and tv are "hands off" is just logistics. Getting schedules to line up is enough to squash any projects let alone negotiating pay for movie actors, not to mention the productions of tv and films are incredibly out of sync. If the MCU focused that much on needless cameos they'd loose sight of the actual story. Having their own corners of the universe really is for the best, the shows have to stand up on their own to be worth anything. Plus it's probably a lot less headaches for anyone coordinating it.
My ideal Doom series could work without almost any the actors from the film. Assuming the experiment scene will cast younger actors anyway, you can also just have the actor for Doom in the film do voice work when the suit gets put on and cast another younger actor to portray pre-suit Doom. Series is more of a character study of Doom.
Man now I really want this fictious show idea to be real.
) feature-length episodes per season. And it'd be cool if the good Doctor loomed over much of the action the way Moriarty does on that show.
