Dormammu is in there and I'm game.
I thought the power part was consistent in that everything appears in slow motion to him. The gripe is that he's much faster than his usual comic version (used to Mach 1?)

What were they thinking? Seriously, what were they thinking? Are they trying to sabotage Marvel? Good Lord, this is hilarious... on the other hand, now I can't wait to see this.

Pffft. They did a pretty good job of adapting the character in their own way. Liberties were taken, but honestly, liberties are always taken with movies. At least the character was still fun.
Ehhh, something seems a bit off about that.
Much like nearly every other character in the Fox X-Men universe, the characters only resemble their comic counterpart in name and power only. Which shows the level of depth Fox considers that property.

To me, as long as you get a general feel for the character, it's okay. Compared to what Marvel did to The Mandarin, Quicksilver was done great justice.

He runs fast. What the fuck else is there to his powers exactly?

And that is the key. You can change origins and whatnot, but as long as the core of the character is intact, it is fine. For all the changes that the X films have done, most of the characters have been good representations of their comic counterparts, even if some story deviations have occurred.

Changing a character's backstory isn't always a good thing just fyi.
I wonder if they're gonna pull a Jamie Foxx from ASM2 and just treat him like utter shit for the first half of the movie, so we can have a "sympathetic" villain.

Eh... several depictions are very poor with regard to representing the core character... Rogue, Storm, Emma Frost, new Mystique (comic Mystique is like 200 years old, incredibly jaded and only looking out for number one, I guess they capture that last bit okay in DoFP to an extent), Cyclops, Angel, Iceman...
I don't think I'd consider any of them matching their comic counterparts' core characters.
They mostly tell an okay tale, but I wouldn't say they've been good representations.
Magneto, Xavier and Wolverine have been pretty good in both sets of movies.
Nicholas Hoult's Beast kind of captures what a younger Beast went through okay.
What parties? Fox is running this movie, Marvel has nothing to do with it.
DOOM doesn't need to be sympathetic. He's DOOM. People loved the Joker and he was in no way shape or form sympathetic. People need to realize that we don't always need to relate to a character to like them, sometimes just being awesome is enough.
Yes fuck sympathetic villains.

This must be a practical joke, how could Fox hate me this much?

It is 2014, how you going to let Roger Corman stunt on you?
Still the best Doom put on screen to date.

Damn, that's actually a really good costume.
Still better then what Fox is doing.

Found it so bizarre how everybody was shitscared of him while ultimatum happened.
I'd fucking love this. Just drop him in, no build up at all. It'd be a bit shark-jumpy but whatever.
It'd be ridiculous but worth it for Avengers 4: Emperor Doom.

I kind of feel like outside of making SHIELD a bigger deal and going back to teen Spidey, most of the Ultimate Universe was pretty half baked.

careful, if Bryan Singer sees this he might faint.
The Ultimate universe was/is kind of a mixed bag overall (don't you dare shit talk The Ultimates), but I just specifically mean that Doom's first story arc was completely milquetoast and banal. They did nothing to justify him being the arch-nemesis of the FF.

Hah, that sounds pretty bad. All this Doom talk really just makes me want to listen to Operation: Doomsday though.

This is FOX we are talking about. The company that laughed at George Lucas for wanting to retain the merchandise rights for his Star Wars movies.
I am with you on that second part.
Apocalypse will probably be the end of xmen films, and fantastic fours ginna fail
Fox wants out of the comic book business and is trying to hurt it before it leaves
I think it's obvious they're not making toys for this movie.

Doom is a anti social programmer and Johnny Storm isn't made of fire, he just wears a suit with orange lights
Movie will be terrible.

What the hell have you guys been smoking? Yes, Fantastic Four is looking terrible but Days Of Future Past was Fox´s top grossing movie of the year. Apocalypse will be the end of the current crop of X-Men movies but they are moving ahead with more X-Men movies , they are doing a Deadpool movie and there´s a F4 sequel scheduled for 2017.

they're also doing a solo gambit movie and trying to get something planned for mystique.
i aint watching any of that shit except for apocalypse and the last wolverine movie (salute to the gawd's retirement). also i'll check out fantastic four if it's any good, i like the cast and director even if it's sounding like a mess.

Yeah, forgot about Gambit and Wolverine 3.
I´m quite interested in F4. The whole thing sounds nuts but Josh Trank did a great job with Chronicle and Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan are quite talented.

Yes. Fox wants out of the comic business and wants to hurt Marvel so bad that they will invest millions of dollars to do it. Riiiiight.

The Dark Knight Trilogy was rooted in the last decade, when gritty realism and a grounded re-imagining of material was a "thing" trending. And to be fair, I might not be the biggest Nolan fan, but his handling of the Batman franchise was done with respect(to the point where, y'know, regardless of the lack of the more fantastical elements within the Batman series, it still oozed those Batman feels).
The thing is, using buzzwords like "grounded", "gritty", and aiming for a younger, hip cast while focusing on taboos regarding the internet, that almost feels straight out of the last decade(00s).
We are past the first decade of the new millennium, and super hero movies have moved on from being the "gritty, grounded" shit that was being shoved in our faces during the 00s.

artistic liberty is fine if you can spin a good movie out of it. the nolan batmans and singer xmens may not be wholly comic accurate but they're great films in their own right (except TDKR)
plus i'm only just getting into comics but i already notice so many conflicting comic runs and interpretations. it's up to the writers of these books and scriptwriter/directors for films. this doctor doom sounds a lot less interesting than what he 'should' be. but maybe they'll get a good movie out of this
