DOOM LOOKS GOOD!

iFANBOYS, YOU WILL HEED THE WORD OF DOOM! I THOUGHT I HAD TRACKED DOWN THAT INSIPID RICHARDS TO HIS NEW “HIDEOUT” ONLY TO FIND SOME MORON WITH SIDEBURNS! DAMN THAT RICHARDS! BEFORE I HAD ONE OF MY DOOMBOTS DESTROY THE LESSER RICHARDS, I NOTICED THIS ON HIS COMPUTER — APPARENTLY MY COSTUME DESIGN (FOR THE UPCOMING FILM NONSENSE ABOUT RICHARDS AND THE REST OF THE ANNOYANCES YOU AMERICANS CALL THE FANTASTIC FOUR!) FINALLY REFLECTS THE MAJESTY THAT IS DOOM!

BAH! FOOLISH AMERICANS…

RICHARDS CANNOT FOOL ME FOR MUCH LONGER — EVEN IF I AM STUCK IN CONNECT-I-CUT. DOOM WILL TRIUMPH!

SO SAYS DOOM!

Comments

  1. Ahhh, Doom-Speak.

    How was the design in the first film (I’m still trying to decide whether or not I wanna see it)?

  2. I just wish Doom had a menacing “Latverian” accent. :[

    How fitting that Doom only type in all CAPS.

  3. I’m a 60s Kirby fanatic, so maybe my opinion is too partisan…but I think it look a bit too girly, no offense to the girls, or too gay, no offense to the gays, as I am basically both and want my Doom to be like Kirby’s Doom, neither gay nor girly. I’m OK with Alba, but that Doom? Not impressed.

    Is it that difficult to get Dr. Doom right? Am I the only one that thinks Darth Vader was totally inspired by Doom? Lucas got it, why are the people doing the FF movies having so much trouble?

    Sigh, maybe it’s just me…. “Oh Victor, where for art thou Doom?”

  4. I like the little pants like swim trunks, it’s like Doom’s beach ware, and he wears his clock, like a towl, on his head.

    In all honesty, looks pretty cool.

  5. That’s definitely a skirt. And maybe a shawl. Little Green Riding Doom.

    See, before, he just had a skirt by accident. Because he had a long shirt that he just tied off with a belt. Now he’s made a conscious decision to have a skirt. Every day he decides to pick that up and put it on.

  6. DOOM HAS NO PATIENCE FOR LOWER CASE.

    AND ITS NOT A SKIRT, IN LATVERIA ITS A NOBLE TUNIC OF GENTLEMEN, YOU UNCULTURED FOOLS.

  7. Those look more like spandex running shorts to me. Doom as cross-country runner? And is the chestplate inspired by Snakes on a Plane?

    I’m trying to have an open mind about this sequel, but man, the original blew hard.

  8. I would say it’s more of a kilt, than a skirt. But that is really just cultural semantics.

  9. Wait, when did Dr. Doom stop speaking in the third person? I smell an impostor or a malfunctioning Doombot.

    The armor looks cool. Even the skirt. As bad as the character was in the first movie, at least he didn’t have goat legs.

  10. See, for some reason, I think I’m the only one that didn’t hate the original.

    For me, I don’t particularly love the FF, and I didn’t have many expectations for the movie. So that might be the reason that I didn’t hate it. The new one looks better too. I’m looking forward to it.

  11. I felt similarly about the first movie, Jan. I went into it expecting them to get Dr. Doom all wrong and when they did I wasn’t too upset. Damn it though, why should I have to lower my expectations to enjoy the character? Dr. Doom is one of my favorite characters and if they want my money they have to give me what I want. This Dr. Doom looks closer to the character I like.

  12. Check out how AWFUL the new Green Goblin design is. Venom looks cool, though.

  13. I am a little worried that they are juggling too much with the next Spider-man movie. Black Costume Pete, Sandman/Uncle Ben plot, Peter/Mary Jane marriage, Gwen Stacy, Harry Goblin, and last but not least Venom. That is a lot of stuff to eastablish, push forward and the resolve. I don’t want any of those plots to be short changed and that is a lot of story telling to get done in a couple of hours.

  14. Hmph. imposter indeed.

  15. Looks like the Goblin is off for another rollicking hover paint-ball adventure.

  16. The Goblin probably drinks Mountain Dew.

  17. I recently rewatched the FF movie and really enjoyed it this time. I even let go of all my complaints from the first time I watched it… except one. Dr Doom needs a more menacing voice. Use the excuse that after Johnny supernova’d him it damaged his vocal chords or what ever but having the most iconic villain Marvel has looking grim and sounding like a checkou
    t boy from the local Walmart just doesn’t work. Other than that I am on board.

  18. Harry Osborn was my favorite of the G.I. Joe ninjas.

  19. “Is it that difficult to get Dr. Doom right? Am I the only one that thinks Darth Vader was totally inspired by Doom? Lucas got it, why are the people doing the FF movies having so much trouble?”

    The most likely answer is that movie crowds today would say, “Man, those guys totally ripped off Darth Vader.”

    Wow, that Green Goblin design is pretty bad. They could have just modified the original or something.

    As for FF, I didn’t even know Doom was going to be in the second one. I thought it was just going to be about Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

    Well, the first one wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad. Hopefully, the second one will be cool.

  20. Check out how AWFUL the new Green Goblin design From Blowing up buildings to courting young socialites, this new suit comes with a flying skateboard and cocktail pant suit included.

  21. The Goblin probably drinks Mountain Dew

    After seeing the picture this comment killed me.

  22. The one thing with the new Xtreme Goblin design is that it’s in character. Since they’re so intent on making things more realistic or plausible (mutant web-shooters instead of genius mechanical web-shooters designed by a teenager) it would only make sense that they’d go for a really practical design for Harry. Especially given the amount of flack they got for the power ranger costume of the first movie. I could totally see Harry cobbling this suit together and thinking it’s cool. You don’t see him sculpting a new Goblin head, outsourcing the design to a local art student.

    Plus, he’s probably using all of his dad’s money to put a Mountain Dew water fountain in every room of his mansion.

  23. What a plot twist! Marty McFly is the new Green Goblin… Hoverboard included.

  24. “but having the most iconic villain Marvel has looking grim and sounding like a checkout boy from the local Walmart just doesn’t work.”

    Totally agree, I thought so too — “Nice jacket, but that’s the guy from Charmed!” I think somebody needs to fly to Hollywood and explain the word “gravitas” to them, as in “sounds like James Earl Jones and people love it”… This seems like the element missing from many of these designs. Even Green Goblin–did none of these designers see the beauty of the Batman II design? Is a somewhat more gothic element so “out of date” and not what’s called for here?
