Film Theory: Marvel Paid $100M for Him... Is it Worth It?

*SUBSCRIBE if You Want Good Marvel Movies!*

Marvel Studios came out the clear winner of Comic Con 2024. When Robert Downey Jr. removed his Doctor Doom mask, the audience went WILD (as did we). But that got us thinking... is RDJ Iron Man or Doctor Doom? Which universe is he from? Does Deadpool know him? How will he connect to Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars? And, the biggest question of all, is Marvel's $100M gamble worth it?

[CynicalReprobate]

Paying an actor an entire movie budget’s worth of salary just to have them comeback as a different role is the funniest and saddest thing in the entertainment world

[theindexfinger]

Whats killing the mcu is not the lack of good actors. Its marvels strategy in general; the lack of good writing/directing and the vfx teams being underpaid and overworked.

[乂]

The real winner here is Robert himself

[riliapratch]

I just don't want them to make Doom quippy like so many other MCU characters. I didn't care for it with Ultron, I would haaaate it for Doom.

[utopia]

Okay… but I don’t want to see an evil Ironman that makes Tom holland confused. I don’t want a variant Ironman. I want the Shakespearean magical science dictator that is three steps ahead of everyone and is only limited by his ego. I want Victor Von Doom.

[sofie_morales]

Robert took "you either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villian" a little too seriously 😭

[Hathur]

Disney's problem: Countless millions spent on the Meanwhile, around $80, 000 to $100, 000 for their writers (and even less in some cases). A great actor can't save a garbage script.

[golden_gloo]

The whole point of Far From Home was to move away from that man's presence both for the characters and the audience, however the MCU's gotten into a bit of a rut recently without him and Disney like money.

13:43 Chris Evan’s being the human torch in Deadpool and wolverine didn’t “only work” cuz it’s different from captain America Chris Evan’s literally played the human torch before being Captain America. It worked cuz it was a fan service call back to the old fantastic 4 movies

[datchia]

It’s going to be interesting to see if the similarities are brought up between Dr Doom and Tony stark. I mean, Spider-Man JUST got over the whole “everywhere I go I see his face” bit and now THATS going to be difficult when facing the new big bad…

[Takerings]

Robert found the infinite money loophole fr

[tamannakarim]

Kick paid xQC $150M and he streams on Kick over Twitch I think it was worth it

[SlightAvarice]

IMO making Doom take his mask off constantly would ruin the current image of Doom. His mask is a very large part of his identity taking it away would be like taking iron man's arc reactor.

[BravoSix]

This isn't about phases or long term plans anymore. It's PURELY short term now.

[Sjono]

“How would Spider-Man react”

That’s the biggest issue I have with this casting. Rather than focusing entirely on his own merits as a villain and his relationship with the Fantastic Four, people wondering how preestablished MCU characters would react over Reed takes away from Victor and just forever have Tony looming over him

[valley]

When your partner cheats on you, many times, you don’t wanna go back with them, no matter what.

It feels like they cheated on us, I don’t wanna go back

[rooperekila]

This really feels like a marvel desperate "ooh look its the guy u love please watch our movie plz plz"

[PartytimeYOLO]

3:14 not mentioning the allergy death at one of their restaurants, told multiple times about the allergy and told it was safe, only for the wife to die, and when the husband sues, Disney says he cant because HE had a free month subscription to Disney+ years

[pizzalegend]

bro went from being in jail to having someone pay 100$ million to him

[calibie]

Everytime I see the dr doom costume all I can think of is the wizard from “The Wizard Of Oz” 💀
