Damn Disney, just fucking cave in to Universal and ask for The Hulk back for fuck’s sake. Stop fobbing all of his villains and story lines off to other Avengers.
I know him from the comics.

Never read one… I always found the format to be too quick a read to warrant the (admittedly minimal) cost.
You think they are expensive in America? In Australia even the standard 20 page comic is double the cost, that makes them eight dollars over here.
When I was a kid and comics were less than a dollar (and so was a lot of other stuff), I came to realize that I could spend 50-75 cents or so to buy a comic and finish reading it in about 10 minutes or I could buy a book for a couple bucks and it would last for a few days at least. I always chose the books and just never managed to really read a comic. Now, decades later, I’ve still never read an actual comic book.

There are always compendiums, compilations and collections if you are ever interested, the Big Two have a subscription service as well but I don’t know much about it.
I stopped reading a lot of the Big Two’s tent pole comics a long time ago. I only ever read miniseries, one-shots and smaller titles on more obscure or underutilised characters.

Final Romulus trailer.
People with better eyes than mine are pointing out that there appears to be an Alien: Isolation save station at 0:45.

Ah so this is why Marvel are doing a new event where Dr. Doom becomes master of the planet. AGAIN!

Huh. So are they just not going to ever show his face or is this going to be some multiverse thing?

A. I don’t know whether to feel interested in this casting or disappointed… 
Time will tell…
- If they’re using RDJ, then he’s probably gonna have some major face-time without the mask in the role – either that, or he’ll get one massive VA paycheck, depending on what the Physical role requires of him at 60. So this could either be a mid, less-cool Doom casting, or an interesting take for RDJ, one of the biggest and most expensive actors in the world.
Third. I am sad that – of all the MCU actors they could have reused – they did not pick Mads Mikkelsen. Dude was practically wasted as a villain, sad he can’t/hasn’t returned with a more interesting or impactful role.

My cynical, comic reader take? Originally it was going to be about Kang going forward but with John Majors out of the picture they are subbing in Dr. Doom in his place like swapping out words in a Mad-Libs.
I mean we very rarely ever see Doom’s face since Doom himself rarely lets people see his face so at least that tracks and they have an excuse not to have us see his face much.

I’m upset because his turn as Iron Man coming to an end with the character dying is why my wife quit on marvel and I haven’t seen any content since out of respect for her. I want to catch up and get back in it, but there’d have to be a legit reason for RDJ to come back as Tony Stark and be reunited with his family to convince her to try it again. Maybe.
But this? Firstly, they’re obviously going to make Doom a multiversal variant of Tony Stark. That’s not who Doom is. Secondly, even if they’re somehow casting him as totally unrelated to Stark, using an actor who is associated in this continuity with one major character already diminishes the impact of the character they’re playing now. Thirdly, they are casting the greatest villain of the entire Marvel franchise as the main villain in an upcoming movie as a replacement to Kang, because the controversy surrounding the character (just recast, dammit!) made them have to take another direction and they decided to bring Doom in for that?
This is insulting for Dr. Doom, for Tony Stark, for RDJ, and for Marvel fans.

I consider Guardians 3 to be the definitive end to the MCU, I flat out don’t care about anything else they put out. It’s over.

For me, the point where the MCU definitively ended and shouldn’t be watched beyond is the opening title card of Iron Man (2008).

Then you have missed out on something truly special my friend, but like all things that stay beyond their welcome, you have at least avoided the cancerous endings.
Die a hero, live long enough… you get it.

Every little piece of the MCU that I have seen has actively turned me off, and I’m happy to not have gone along for the ride over the last 15 years. 
That’s the problem. Little pieces. You have to have experienced the whole. Then again, you also had to be there at the time. No true connected universe was ever able to be done properly or on this scale prior to the MCU, specifically during phase 1. Now, shared universes are everywhere, with varying results. What made it special at the time is now long past.
Wouldn’t have made a difference if I hated (which I did) every little piece which I saw. I’m more a Yorgos Lanthimos man, my dude, the MCU wouldn’t have cut it for me if I was forced to watch it all in the right sequence at the time, Clockwork Orange-style.

How can you know, if all you saw were little pieces with no proper context?
Who?
