I like to think that's his go to answer for any time he swing by a busted window, and he finally, truly got to nail the moment perfectly. Wondering how many suicide attempts have heard "Wayne Tower blows up" as their last words before they jumped.

I love how Doom is rolling his eyes there. I like to imagine he's putting on his biggest, most sarcastic voice, and doing as terrible a job of selling it as he can.

I don't know what I love more; the concept that Doom's idea of creating a phyrric victory for the FF is to blow up the model of his village, or that he might actually have two gigantic sticks of dynamite buried underneath the real village.

I think one of the lines that best encapsulates Doom's relationship to Latveria is in Millar's run where during a parade in his honor, Doom tells one of his guards to "shoot the first person to stop clapping".

Lurdiak posted:I just don't buy Hickman's loving uncle Doom. Guy skinned his girlfriend alive. By this reasoning, Doom shooting the first person to stop clapping would be pointless. He would sow dissent against his regime for shooting Aunt Petunia because she got tired; it is not inconceivable that in killing an aunt, he might create his true and greatest enemy. If nothing else, he would give Richards an angle for approach... increase his surveillance budget... no! Doom would shoot the last man to stop clapping - later, and discreetly. For it's that man who's attempting to prove something to Doom... and one who has something to prove also has something to hide.

VanSandman posted:Alternate Universe Doom. That's Dan Slott's explanation, and I'll be damned if I buy anything Slott's selling ever again. Nessus posted:Ah, but he did it for a reason, a motive. That's what defines Doom, I think; he is a dictator and a maniac, but unlike the ones in real life, he is lucid and, even if he's not "right," he's doing things for reasons... perhaps even reasons that are good. Doom may, possibly, err-- but he does not err out of insecurity of ego. Well played. Fraction did reveal a super creepy ulterior motive for Doom's relationship with Valeria, but of course Hickman ignored it like he ignores most things that don't fit his ideas. Not that Fraction's treatment of Doom is particularly worth keeping canon.

In Marvel Universe vs. The Avengers you've got the best of both worlds. Doom figures out a way to turn everyone back to normal from being homicidal cannibals, you just have to wear these giant gaudy Alchemy +  jewels around your neck, forever...and let Doom eat whomever he wants/likes. The second point is *non-negotiable*. Hawkeye caught him as he was about to dig into Mystique...literally.

There's too much opportunity in Doom to limit him to one defined personality, same as the Joker. Both are poorly defined forces of nature which is why they are so magnetic.

Being a better father to her is the greatest gently caress you Richards. Not to mention he's the reason she's alive and he already holds that over Reed. If you can't see loving uncle Doom as genuine then at the very least taking care of Valerie can be seen as keeping up with an investment.

Also y'all are constantly bickering about editorial interference, but when a writer doesn't 100% pay respects to a plot point another writer came up with one or more decades ago because he has his own interpretation of that character, holy poo poo what a loving hack! The "Magneto can never ever be seen as anything but mutant Hitler" argument is equally lovely. Edit: Heeeeyyy funny panels

Characterization is like a ship, you have to steer it slow and steady, or else you can capsize into angry internet comments. I did think Mark Waid claiming Doom would "eat a baby" if it somehow proved he was smarter than Reed to be pushing things a bit. E: Sorry about derailing the funny panels thread again, Waterhaul.

Yeah, that's it. It's a drat good Spider-man story. The trade I have has a pretty great foreword from Peter David talking about how mad he was at the guy who killed Gwen Stacy when he was younger, and how he promised himself he'd never kill a beloved side character like that.
