Say what you will of continuity, at least First Class and Days of Future past are badass films.

I wouldn't put First Class in the same sentence with DoFP. And I wouldn't say any xmen film has ever been as good as the comic books have portrayed them over the decades.

The changes Nolan and co. made to them really worked well and made a lot of sense in a gritty and grounded universe.

We will still have to see what the end product is, but I don't see why you need to make some bad ass super-villain a computer programmer when one of your heroes is a rock guy. They are taking a grounded approach to a group of characters that don't translate into that style as well Batman and his villains. And personally, I think making Doom some anti-social, internet guy is a way bigger leap than the Batman stuff.

Well wasn't he an inventor (like so many comic book villains) in the original?

Is being an inventor really bad ass by default?

These are honest questions as I don't know much about Dr Doom.
 
im down for it. i like the risks they are taking with this movie. i've already read years worth of ~badass~ dr doom stories in the comics, so im ready for a radical new shift.

He is and much more.

In the comics he's a sorcerer, scientist, and ruler of a nation. He's arguably the smartest person on the planet next to Reed Richards. He's always a step ahead of every one in his plans and rarely, if ever, is he actually backed into a corner.
 
So they take one of the greatest villains in all of comics and turn him into some fucking dweeb? This movie is sounding worse and worse. I might go see it just for laughs.
 
Let this forever stand as Exhibit A in the evidence lineup any time someone tears into "Marvel Fanboys" for wanting Disney to get the rights to as many properties as possible back.

I'm just wondering if many of those traits will be rolled into the "anti social programmer / blogger" at some point. If he's the smartest programmer in the world for instance, that would make him a powerful "scientist" in the modern world.

no. Doom is a genius scientist, but an aristocrat first and foremost. He CAN invent, but that's not his profession. His profession is "being doctor doom."

Ah I see; but I still wonder... just because the modern Doom has Programmer/Blogger on his "resume" doesn't mean he also doesn't have a lot of the other Doom's aspects. Computer programming is in fact a science.

Okay, you win this one.

But it's not like anybody ever gave this one a chance. We'll all be shocked if it works out.

Seriously why make the character doctor doom if he's NOT Dr. Doom? I thought we were over this shit in comic movies.

Why is FOX so ashamed of the things they license for movies?

I don't get it either.

It's 2014. The Avengers was the third highest grossing movie of all time. Why are they still afraid to be faithful to the comics?

Chris Claremont lied, he said they couldn't create new mutants,and he fucking created one the very same month.

it also says:

We have reported this character-creating issue before now, but this is the first time I&#8217;ve heard an X-book creator confirm it publicly. We&#8217;ve also been told though that if you can create new characters under the guise of a Marvel Now style event, then they can be attributed to Marvel Now and not to an Xbook&#8230; so Marvel gets to keep the film rights.

quick, name a book that ISNT being launched under "marvel now!" exactly.
 
Still looking forward to this. Chronicle was amazing enough that the first trailer for this is either going to see this soaring or sink like a stone.
