Avengers: Secret Wars: Kevin Feige Just Proved He Understands Doctor Doom Perfectly

@vectorsigma - I mean he whines about having lost his mum a lot.

@vectorsigma - That’s not in the comics also the trailers seem to imply that he was a fairly normal/a good dude before that. Comic Doom was pretty much always an asshole, at least as long as Reed and Ben knew him.

@OmegaBlack13 - Not having that history with Reed and the FF is a sin.

I can't believe that they were boasting at their history being "Besties" at SDCC smh.

@GComix85 - aw come on. Let him live in blissful ignorance lol

@bkmeijer1 - My theory is it'll go like Infinity War. The Avengers think they'll have beaten him only nope, rug pulled right out of them.
I think The Avengers, FF, and X-Men will just about beat Doom until he gets petty, kidnaps Franklin, and uses him to create Battleworld with Franklin serving as Molecule Man's role.

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - Iron Man 3 took Mandarin’s origin as a yellow peril caricature created by white dudes and flipped it into an actual hoax created by a white dude to take advantage of America’s fear of the Middle East (Asia). It was in conversation with the character’s real life history, not the “lore”. I’m not saying this makes it a great movie, but that movie was definitely one the of the more clever reinventions we’ve seen.

@OmegaBlack13 - - >Iron Man 3 took Mandarin’s origin as a yellow peril caricature

So Iron Fail 3 took what didn't exist and sold it as a valid interpretation? Because The Mandarin wasn't part of no ''yellow peril'', because it was out-of-fashion by the time he was created, and definitely wasn't no ''caricature'', because he had too much good writing and human traits to be that. So, in short, the Feigeslop made up a strawman about a character. Which is a bad adaptation.

What's also worth noting, why does 60s factor in the Theme Park Universe, which was since the first Iron Man movie adapting stories made since John Byrne's run, which is why Mandarin was implied to be behind Stark's capture, which was written in Byrne's run on Iron Man. Which had modernized take on the Mandarin that's better written than anything the MCU slop could ever hope to make?

>created by white dudes

Like most Marvel characters? Those morons who made that awful movie, you're making up strawman arguments and selling it as something valid. The Mandarin was created by white dudes the same way Doctor Doom (who's another on the list to get ruined by Feige) and Doctor Octopus. It's irrelevant. They were creating villains left and right.

>and flipped it into an actual hoax created by a white dude to take advantage of America’s fear of the Middle East (Asia).

Being meta isn't being good at writing or adapting something, Feigefan. Because this nonsensical idea of looking at fiction by creating strawman meta BS when adapting it is exactly what bad adaptation is. If you had wrong people making the first Captain America movie, say the ones who made that ''amazing'' Falcon show, we could've had a movie named Captain America where there's no Captain America and his entire character would be just a propaganda created to boost troops' morale and the real heroes of the story are regular soldiers who have no super serum but have courage exceeding any superhero. Add to that the fact that old CB Cap was a severe propaganda about America's exceptionalism, plus he didn't have any problems calling people of certain races using slurs, and you get the same garbage that you have with the Mandarin. But as the MCU proved, because Cap was one of the characters they didn't [frick] up (not until we see Doomsday), turns out you can just adapt the character the way they're intended and it'll be way better than any ''gotcha'' meta BS you can throw at people.

>It was in conversation with the character’s real life history,

No, it wasn't. And even if it was, that's hardly relevant to what constitutes for a good adaptation. That's the same as when bunch of clowns started defending Taika's so-called ''Thor'' movies and their goofy nature by prattling about how Taika actually cleverly disassembles the fascist undertones of Norse Mythology in modern pop culture and takes Norse Gods away from Odinists by making a queer-coded comedy in which Thor is emasculated for entertainment.

I mean, that's one way to put it to defend the terrible garbage that is Taika's Thor, but it doesn't change the fact that the adaptation is bad and an accurate take on Thor from the comics would make for better movies by default.

>not the “lore”.

The character been a part of Marvel's lore since the 60s and is a staple in Marvel's supervillain echelon. If you rob Iron Man of his arch nemesis and replace him with some dunce who has diet Human Torch powers and motivation of Riddler from Batman Forever, you're doing bad job at adapting the material.

>I’m not saying this makes it a great movie

It certainly didn't, because Iron Man 3 sucks.

>but that movie was definitely one the of the more clever reinventions we’ve seen.

Uh, yes, combining the plot twists from Equilibrium and Batman Begins, except much dumber and filled with the typical MCU fart jokefest, is a ''clever reinvention''.

@Jackraow21 - The whole thing definitely felt like a pitch for the future of the MCU.
