I think he means Hokey and not to the source material

We want Doom coming in fukking up shyt after betraying the F4 and that friendemeny situation being the driving force.. Not whatever it is they keep doing to try to make it their own
IDK, based on what I'm seeing they are sticking fairly close to "the source material".

Anyway, Doom will make a cameo in First Steps, and we'll see what they do with the FF and Dr. Doom in future movies.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I think he means Doom AND the FF4 are from a different universe from the rest of the MCU.

Which is a given tbh, will probably be part of the trailers.

They can't both stick close to the source AND have them from a diff universe, not as lifelong friends, coworkers... Have a female surfer. Have their powers gotten by different means... Etc etc


You either doing the source or not. Every time they do the source, it's good. Every time they put that old Disney flavor on it, it's mid to terrible.

yeah, he's bland and he's in too much shyt. i'm sure he'll be fine but i don't like the casting
what's "too much shyt"?
four tv shows in 10 years, maybe 5 big budget movies in ten years?

thanks wasn't exactly source material and thats possibly the best portrayal of any character they've done

Well, they have to introduce the FF somehow, and it makes sense that they would be from a different universe from the mainline MCU (and then they get incorporated into it by the end of the movie).

Shalla-Bal being the Silver Surfer is also because it's a different universe. Norin Radd will probably show up later in the MCU, so :manny:

this. this is a lot of shyt. he didn't need to become a fullblown leader of the MCU moving forward. they didn't even make him shave his crustache. it's just Pedro Pascal with a little Paulie Walnuts in his hair. he might be great, who knows, but nothing about dude says "Reed Richards." also, i have doubts he's gonna sell the chemistry between him and Sue as dude has no chemistry with women on screen. this is minor, i don't really care, but he's like the Rock in the sense he never has chemistry with chicks on screen.

tbf, as of right now without seeing anything, i don't buy Quinn as Johnny Storm either. that said, Marvel is still like 85% on their casting overall. they've slipped a little lately during the slump.

He's a reliable actor, and reliable actors will stay getting work. Most of those franchises are one and dones. Another one has in him in a helmet, and homie was in ONE CSI episode back in 2012.

Even in a shyt Kingsmen sequel, homie was a bright spot.

nah quinn is a good actor. he is gonna kill it.

:hubie:
:yeshrug: i've seen him in 3 things - Stranger Things - thought he was a standout of that overrated show. Quiet Place - literally could have been any actor to ever exist playing that part. Gladiator - meh, he was aight. other brother was better.

Like three times. He dons the helmet for the majority of the show.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they be hamstrung... That's like saying it makes sense that Venom isn't tied to Spider-Man... They don't want to be hindered by................................... You don't fukking exist without Spider-Man.. Doom doesn't exist without the F4.


This is the most retarded part and sounds like a continuation of "fukk the source, lets do something fresh guys" and they fukk it up... AGAIN


They clearly aren't learning. And I'll still be there day 1. But my god!! Open a comic, read it and do that. It's not hard

Because the Russos and RDJ have signed on to tell their OWN story about Doom NOT the FF4’s director’s. They will want a clean slate to do that.

You have to remember this isn’t a planned Thanos like build. The original villain and story of the next Avengers movie was meant to be about Kang with a completely different director. J Majors got fired and they quickly had to make a new story/bring in a new villain. This movie (FF4) was never written up as a preview for Doom before you see the character again in the next Avengers movie. If it was we would have known RDJ was playing Doom when the FF4 cast was originally announced.

Doom certainly can exist without the FF4 in the mcu. The same way Ultron had NOTHING to do with Hank Pym.
