Robert Downey Jr. is announced as Doctor Doom in upcoming "Avengers:Doomsday" movie. Does this reignite any interest in the MCU for anyone?

Or do you see it as an overt cash grab

no

stop giving money to people who hate you. jesus fucking christ.

leftists aren't self-hating, they cannibalize OTHERS, not themselves. self-hating whites are the faggots who pay Disney to shit on them

there's a post up right now about people going to see that faggoty deadpool movie. Wow congrats "it wasn't woke" you still paid Disney, you still willingly gave money to people who hate you and blame you for everything. absolute fucking cuckold retards

Fr it's so annoying to see people even here keep spending money supporting propaganda. Go indie and support the indie devs/artists you actually like and don't hate you.

This is such a brilliant observation. Even if this movie is James Bond slapping a bitch levels of based without nary a woke moment, if it makes even a modest profit at the box office, there’ll be fifteen more obnoxious sequels where they crank the globohomo up to 11. At the end of the day, they still hate us and care more about their “message” than our entertainment.

Just let it all fuckin die already.

That's the plan, it's a two-tier approach to subverting the Overton Window. Sadly way too many people fall for it.

For instance, Rings of Power is terrible but people love Fallout. The ideas and hate-messaging they hold for viewers with the Rings of Power is identical to that of Fallout, it's just that while Rings of Power was a touch too woke, Fallout was only barely woke enough to stifle pushback.

The Acolyte was Disney going mask-off, and while people can recoil all day long about how terrible is, a bunch of people will throw money at them with Deadpool & Wolverine, including "le based" anti-SJW/anti-woke channels who make all their grift on "hating" Disney.

This is the Left's long game, and they are playing it superbly. The amount of normies I see in normie spaces decrying an ultra-woke property while supporting a mildly woke property is beyond common.

For instance, the same people who ragged on Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League were some of the same people who also enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy, so they're still supporting the same messaging from the same company. One product simply presented itself in a slightly higher quality than the other.

The counter to that is rewarding them when they behave well and punishing them when they fuck it all up. Deadpool and Dune both behaved well so you’ll see more movie like them if you reward them. Most things after End Game behaved poorly and bombed so if you don’t watch She Hulk you’ll see less of it. People don’t actually hate Disney and the Marvel movies, they hate woke Disney and woke Marvel movies and miss it when things are good. If they do something nice and you show you’re willing to support that, you will see more of it. If you don’t, you’re more likely to see more woke movies since they’ll blame things on general super hero fatigue and not the movies now being woke garbage.

Uh, no. This is the "but I can change him!" argument.

What you're saying is true only for a rational actor, but these woke studios are psycho bitches. Their dysfunction is so great they'd need a lobotomy or shock treatment (ie fire Iger and Kennedy).

It's not a cashgrab. It's just another opportunity to bash on straight, White men. Tony Stark was the heart of the MCU, the foundation. Turning him into Doctor Doom, even if it's some alternate reality version (like the Iron Maniac) has only one purpose - to destroy his reputation, to say "See? This is what he was like all along."

– fvckface 22 points 1 year ago +22 / -0

You're mostly correct, but this absolutely is a cash grab as they're doing anything they can think of to bring people back to what they destroyed.

The icing on the cake for them is subverting their previously beloved character, but no matter what it has to put butts back in theater seats.

– ClownTamer 2 points 1 year ago +2 / -0

Agreed. Probably would have gone better if they just made another Iron Man movie or Captain America movie. A larger issue though is that they pretty much drained the well at this point of all the biggest characters in Marvel and had them all go out with a bang in End Game. There are other great stories but they can’t do them since they already did the MCU in its current form.

Could have just done more X Men movies, which they tried doing with the new Deadpool movie. It was better than all the other shit they put out since End Game for the most part.

They’re also trying to do something relatively unprecedented in making an infinite franchise of movies that release yearly forever with unlimited budgets. And they’re doing it in a climate where everyone’s sick of them making movies for fans that are about how they hate the fans and everything the fans value.

Definitely a cash grab

It’s amazing what hormone modification has done to the growth rates of memberberries. Back in my day a good crop took 20+ years to grow, nowadays modern writers just about only manage to do callbacks to dialogue said earlier in the film.

I don’t see this improving either IM’s character or doing justice to Doom’s character, but I am atleast a little glad that their gushing self-inflicted wounds are finally being acknowledged, if not addressed, in terms of the general sense of a shift in direction post the we-wuz-kangztastrophe.

I’m looking forward to pirating Deadpool 3 sometime

Nah, they've done so much shit that my interest in their universes is depleted. I've moved on and just don't care anymore.

Wake me up when everyone involved goes bankrupt and some based company buys the rights for a buck. Until then, meh.

It's gimmick casting, nothing more.

When you think of casting Dr Doom, is RDJ even in the running? They thought this would bring fans back, that's all. Otherwise Disney would have cast a nonwhite/nonbinary.

I never had interest in the MCU period, even back when it was supposedly good. Was never even a fan of capeshit in the first place. And nowadays, since I regard it as everything wrong with today's culture, well...

Not to mention, I detest celebrities, so attaching one's name to anything doesn't impress me. It's always just a means to attract normies, or in this case, old fans who've grown bitter of the franchise as of late.

Do I think he could pull off Dr Doom? Yes ESPECIALLY if he pulls a Karl Urban and keeps on the Mask.

Do I think this is peak desperation by pulling in THE most popular actor that used to be in the MCU as another character to save themselves, yes but they'll only manage to if they purge more of the leftist writers.

Not giving the pedophiles at Disney a single dollar on purpose. Depending on how they fuck it up I may dust off my parrot and eye patch, though.

Why wouldn't RDJ take in another bucket of cash? Oh you mean Disney? Yeah, they have no idea what they are doing. All the people that made things great moved over to other companies because of the politics.

I'm worried some of it is kicking into Universal right now.

After all that Marvel did to destroy their comic franchise, Doom's the only character I still like. Never mind the dumpster fire of the MCU outside of the Iron Man movies.

So RDJ as Doom..... hmmm.... well played. I shall spend some leechbucks to ride my trusted Elden Ring steed.

Nope. RDJ does not have the inherent gravitas to pull off Doom. He has the narcissism down. He's even got charisma. But he's also fighting against the MCU's consistent and deliberate efforts to marginalize the fans.

If RDJ is playing Victor Von Doom, it's "You like RDJ, right? Have more RDJ! Please like our movies again!" But if RDJ is playing evil Tony Stark, it's part of the same anti-white male campaign as everything else.

Either way, I will not be watching it before it hits free-to-air TV. Even if it's the former and not inherently hostile, Disney as a company needs to wither and die.

Infinity war was peak MCU, but stopping there is kinda unsatisfying, so you watch endgame because while it's not as good a movie it is a satisfying conclusion to the story they'd been telling for the past decade.
