Avengers 5: Doomsday

That sounds incredibly boring.

That sounds incredibly boring.

It makes sense for the movie.

In the comics his serum wore off and he aged up. I forgot if either it kicked back in or they gave him more serum but he regained his youth.

In the movies, Steve went back in time and chose to stay behind and live out his life, which would make him old in current day.

Time travel would make more sense in the movies since they haven't introduced de-aging tech yet. Or he could be another variant.

[IMJ]

Haven't bothered to do any research on this but why exactly is Steve Rogers young again?

Because it's the Steve Rogers who went back in time to live with Peggy. The speculation is that at some point Loki uses the TVA to relocate Steve from the 1940s over to the Fantastic Four world from their movie with Galactus.

I wonder... With the X-Men's one last reunion thing going on here, what are the odds of Kitty Pryde showing up?

Probably 0 until the MCU X-Men reveal. Even if Marvel had the balls to ask Ellen Page back she'd just say no unless she can make Kitty Pryde transexual.

Ellen Page is no more, they can't have her play the role again.

Wow, they're finally building up Doom with 4 months left. :roll:

[ToTheNines]

“Hell answers to DOOM” would have hit way harder, but maybe that’s just me.

[IMJ]

Trailers are designed to turn your brain off and create blind excitement. The cuts. The culminating music. A "power moment". But this movie is littered with people that almost nobody cares about. But the same old tricks don't work as well after years of dog$#!( and no build-up to Doom as this level of player. Also, these aren't even really "Avengers" movies anymore. Just "universe movies".

The main draw is basically "why is Downey cast as Doom"?

[CyberCubed]

Is Doom supposed to be that powerful? Flicking away Thor with a finger? I don't know much about Marvel lore.

[frank_one]

X1aFkAkFASk?si=ME1IXVzP2zS20nAnWell, I usually don't care about this kind of movies, but I have to say this is a good trailer or whatever it is. Way better than the last one.

we used to have a member in the forums named Dr Doom and he would randomly post in character. Same as Shredderorokusaki or whatever but people didnt' give him crap for it.

[ToTheNines]

Yeah he was in tight with the Peanut crowd and groomed a child. Dudes rock!

Yes, he is.

[Barkworm]

I was about to ask this as well. I haven't been reading any Marvel books for about 25 years but the Doom I knew was just a guy in a steel armour.

A heavily technologically advanced steel armor plus Doom masters magic as well.

[Coola Yagami]

Um...... wut?

[Barkworm]

More accurately, he often interacted with Peanut (not always on friendly terms) and got together with another forum member after she had moved out of her parents' house when she was 18.

[Coola Yagami]

ahhh by Peanut's gallery you meant an actual forum member named Peanut. Gotcha.

[Barkworm]

You don't remember Peanut, Coola? He was a rather infamous member in the 2000s.

[Coola Yagami]

IDK. There are very members I remember by name unless we clashed personally. Not counting the few that are still here, and thus I see post often, of the ones that are gone or rarely post I mostly remember names like Spengler, OldmanWinters, Jepheal, weren't there ones named Buslady, Raph's GF or Raph's girl, babytmnt and so forth.

I see Peanut isn't banned so I guess he just left the form over time naturally?

[Barkworm]

He used to be a mod at one point but was de-modded because he tended to be very hostile towards people who disagreed with him on video games and movies. He was also more or less responsible for getting an own set of forum rules for the VG section where he and his friends would terrorize anyone who'd seem uneducated about VG topics.

We always got along fine but looking back, the negativity was often grating.

[IMJ]

I was about to ask this as well. I haven't been reading any Marvel books for about 25 years but the Doom I knew was just a guy in a steel armour.

If you look at the stuff Iron Man and Dr. Strange has pulled off, power level-wise you can combine all of that into one guy with vengeance then you have Doom.

UK is getting it early

[neatoman]

Alright, I've seen Encore and it's... Just not a very meaningful alternate cut. Usually, an alternate cut is fun when there are substantial differences but I couldn't tell there were any differences at all until the final scene and what's there is clearly just promo stuff for Doomsday.

Granted, I haven't watched the original version of Endgame since it came out, so maybe there were some slight differences throughout but nothing felt unfamiliar. I don't know, maybe include some scene extensions or extra scenes from an alternate perspective or something? As is, it just feels like a pointless promo for the next movie.

[Andrew NDB]

Really? And they left the "girls get it done" scene intact?

[Coola Yagami]

There were some scenes pointing towards Doomsday.

[IMJ]

I can't believe anyone would pay for this all over again to be honest.
It's sort of like being a patsy for Marvel - believing these 'scenes' not only establish the "plan all along" but after years of BS paying to see it again in theaters.

Not only that, but let's face it - the high def discs look better at home than the damn theater screen does.

[neatoman]

Really? And they left the "girls get it done" scene intact?

They did. Like seriously, the only notable differences in the entire thing are some teases for Doomsday at the end.
