"The Thanos mythos was built up over the years..." what seems to not be acknowledged here is That Was The Whole Point. That's why Thanos worked. The build up, theories, but knowing years in advance he was for sure gonna be the ultimates bad. He felt super important for years before we FINALLY got Infinity War. Some goddamn answers or whatever.
Yes, technically, we have only seen him for a few minutes here and there collectively throughout the years, but that's why it was so effective and I don't believe you can just adopt a tone that seems to not really address the actual concern cause apart of the first time experiencing these events movies is the build up. That's the audience emotional experience. When you drop weird purple looking guy into a post credits scene into your cinematic changing event movie 2012 Avengers movie as this was the real big bad Loki was working for - YES WE DO THE BUILD UP. So when it said there's no build up to Doctor doom, truly, there isn't. There's not one movie outside a very obvious post credits scene (F4 First Steps) that in the back of your head you just know they had to do insert this shit quickly cause doomsday was next. Theres TECHNICALLY Build Up to Incursions but has it really been feeling like we are building up
To incursions? properties sometimes had them, and sometimes didn't.
It's just not the same thing man and can't really say we'll just get that similar
Type of - I don't know. Reward?
That sounds entitled but whatever sticking to it
But the side that would make the experience compelling is Doom feeling personal.
That build up is a big part of what has made the emotional experience great.
And it's Robert Downey Jr, he's a great actor. the dude playing a dude might actually pull off something awesome. Memorable. And "holy shit it made me feel like Doom really knew that Reed and it feels like they have history on screen that I never got to see but somehow this more
Than satisfies."
The movie might be the best damn avengers
Movie ever.
However Thats not REALLY the point though when this is brought up. People are referring to their current feeling right now, not what you are hoping they feel when the movie comes out.
Anyway that was an unnecessary long way to explain something in a desperate attempt to articulate something that I'm not sure I articulated on.
Avengers Doomsday Releases December 18, 2026. Get your tickets now at fandango where they fuck up your purchases by giving multiple attendees wrong dates on their tickets, ruining date night for a few bummer of a minutes when we ended up at IHOP which was better cause I gotta spend time 1 on 1 time with her.
#AvengersDoomsday
Peace
Kevin Feige addresses fans saying that Doctor Doom has no buildup compared to Thanos:
“The Thanos buildup has built up in people’s heads over the years. He sat on a chair at the end. He put on a gauntlet and said, ‘I’ll do it myself.’ And he yelled at Ronin on a video screen briefly.”
