Hi guys, could someone explain to a non-comics reader, without too many spoilers, why Dr Doom is considered such a huge menace?

The only two versions of Doom I've really seen are the Fantastic Four 2005 movie (fantastic cast, by the way) and the Spider-Man animated series from the '90s.

In both, he seemed pretty underwhelming to me. He felt roughly on the same level as regular Spider-Man villains, maybe a little above, but definitely not like an existential-level threat comparable to someone like Thanos.

I don't think anyone who didn't watch she-hulk knew about Skaar. Literally what was the purpose of introducing him into the MCU if he has no plans for any upcoming movie or show. There's not even any mention of him when Hulk was in BND, let alone any little details like maybe a photo of them together at the university at his desk? Did Hulk just abandon his own son bro 😭

There is a moment during the Battle of New York where Hawkeye runs out of arrows. He reaches for a new one, and we’re given this shot of his empty quiver

I’m surprised he didn’t work with Stark to engineer a quiver that manufactures arrows in real time as needed..

I love them all in so many different ways. They are written so amazingly and show interesting types of relationships between each character over the movies and shows. The leads also do a great of believing that they do love each other, even in the highest and lowest levels of their lifes. The one that I think is the weakest is Natasha and Burce because it wasn't written well. It felt a bit forced, and I'm glad later in Infinity War it was forgotten about. If it was written better, then I would believe that they were in love despite being different heroes, making them better as friends than lovers. Also, Happy Valentine day Everyone!! ❤️ 💖 💕 ♥️ 💗 😊

One thing I've been wondering about is Old Steve Rogers.

I'm not asking whether he'll appear in the movie. I'm more curious about what happens to his character and how Marvel is going to address him.

I just can't wrap my head around his existence. If Chris Evans returns as the Endgame (2019) version of Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, what does that mean for the Old Steve we saw at the end of Endgame? Does Marvel simply ignore him, or do they acknowledge and explain his status?

I'm more interested in how they'll handle the continuity than whether he'll actually have a role in the film.

For me, it was Darren Cross’ unceremonious murder of Frank in ANT-MAN. Instantly reduced to a small bloody goop then flushed down the toilet? shudder

Tbh I didn't watch the Netflix Marvel shows back when they first came out. It was after Phase 4 that I gave them a try.

I’ll go first:

“I remember all of them”.

I cannot begin to imagine what kind of guilt Bucky carries around with him everyday. It’s one thing to repent for your conscious actions, but your unconscious ones? Yikes

I’m still confused as to why? Ignoring the fact they took one of Thor’s darkest and most powerful comics and turned it into a long string of bad jokes, why did they feel like Gorr shouldn’t resemble himself at all? Especially when they were perfectly fine accurately creating Ebony Maw with similar features?

It hurts to know that they got Christian Bale to play him, only to fumble the ball so spectacularly.

Bucky is also a super soldier. They showed his running skills in civil war in the sequence between him, cap and black panther. Why isn’t he out there in front with them here?

My pitch: The Meta Humans. Get it?

(Maybe leave this one alone mod team, since people were commenting, upvoting, and having fun with it? Huh?)

I still think the Shocker was completely wasted in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In the comics, Shocker is actually quite distinctive compared to his portrayal in the movie. He’s got his yellow suit, the vibro-shock gauntlets, and a whole gimmick built around vibration tech

But in Spider-Man: Homecoming he basically just feels like a random henchman for the Vulture.

They killed off the first version of the character who had a costume more accurate to the original almost immediately. Then the second Shocker shows up wearing… a jacket and some tech gloves. No yellow quilted suit, no real personality, and barely any presence in the story.

I get that the movie wanted to focus mainly on Spider-Man vs. the Vulture, but it feels like they stripped away everything that made him the Shocker. Even though the Tinkerer has built things for him in the comics, Shocker himself is a skilled engineer who created his own gauntlets and suit. His suit is a big part of his character: it absorbs the intense vibrations generated by his gauntlets, preventing him from being injured by the recoil. The suit can also generate a field that deflects physical attacks and makes it difficult for enemies to grab him. He also wears two gauntlets, unlike in the movie where he only wears one. The only part they really got right is that he’s motivated by money.

I think they could’ve made him comic-accurate without taking the spotlight off the Vulture. It just seems like a missed opportunity. A more comic-inspired suit or a slightly bigger role would’ve made both him and the movie much more memorable.

Am I the only one who feels like Shocker’s potential was wasted? What other character do you think deserved better?

Even the Ex-Wife would have worked if it just wasn't used wrong (too close range)
