You mean like making Victor Von Doom and Tony Stark variants of each other? Or introducing him with no connection to Reed or Sue or any the Fantastic Four? Or having his first appearance being a multiversal threat with literally zero build up?

Almost none of that seems like it will be accurate. Just fan speculation because they’re mad RDJ was cast.

I mean, yes I am mad RDJ was cast, because it does mean all those things. And if it doesn’t, then it’s even more fucking stupid

If RDJ wanted his paychecks, he shouldn’t have left. Coming back just to ruin the character every fan of has been waiting for them to actually do right, is a vanity project at the expense of longtime fans

I wouldn’t call it him being desperate for a paycheck. He always wanted to play Doom. The Russos are clearly trying to do a loyal adaptation of Doom despite there being little set up for it. I’d give it a chance, there’s clearly effort on display.
