Doctor Doom needs his own solo movie.
right because without it you get what Fox did...
I want a game where he is the main character like an Arkham style game but about doom achieving his goal
This is long overdue
Str8 Factz it’s been long over due
We already know the soundtrack😎
Now that the MCU ended the Thanos storyline, I really hope that Doom becomes the next big bad villain for the next phase of MCU movies.
So they can downgrade him like the rest of their weak villains? No chance.
@@ajlomax603 Yeah, look at characters like Vulture, Killmonger, Hela, Ego the living planet and specially Thanos. They are the best exemple of how weak the MCU villains are (sarcasm)
@@alexandrefrauches132 I mean, they are really weak. Well written, to an extent, but terribly weak in comparison to their comic book counterparts.
@@DevilmanEnvoy they can’t have thanos wiping the floor with all the avengers it won’t bode well with critics. They’ve got no choice but to nerf characters. I’ve got no doubt that while they may not fully capture doom, they’ll do a great job with his character
@@ajlomax603 Yeah let's not see the villains at all in live action because they'd be slightly powered down 🤦
I see the algorithm is suggesting everything MF Doom related
Slacking on the all caps!
So true
you're welcome
@@orale_ I need to go buy more beer, theres only one left😳
@@romeoreezy 🤣😂🤣😂
If DOCTOR DOOM does make an appearance in the MCU I just hope they keep his Slavic Romani heritage intact.
Agreed. I’m okay if they let him have an American acccent though, so long as they justify it as something like “adjusting to university” in New York, you know?
Yeah they skip poo say that in the past they need to keep it to make him more memorable
He would probably be Sokovian like Baron Zemo
Also not make him look like an ugly peace of liquid metal
;)
I had no idea that Doom, thought him conquering the world was him saving it from a horrible future. So complex.
don't they always?
The Red Skull thinks that mankind is too screwed up for us to be trusted with our freedom.
@@psgary6622 in a ways it is. Ain't it?
Look what's happening around us at this moment
@@psgary6622 no Doom was right he once conquer the world and did what he promised and then he got bored and go back
Yea cos humanity left to its own devices is doing just great......
@saturncrush I once heard someone say "Doom is an emotionally complex character" and they were right IMO
This is my favorite villain in the Marvel Universe, and such a tragic backstory.
More like a anti-hero.super selfless people like him arent villains bra
I agree
I dont think anybody asked you
@@95Everan I would postulate that Doctor Doom has become more of an anti-hero as of late is that many of the burdens that had driven him to be an outright villain have "evaporated" with the victories he has been able to collect since the beginning.
Doom is my favorite character in marvel he's so entertaining and insteresing
Doom's origin is one of the greatest fictional backstories of all time.
R.I.P MF DOOM.
Doom might just become my favorite "villain" now. Everyone sees him as a bad guy, but the truth is he's like a anti hero, whose gonna save the world, whether they like it or not. Sure his methods might be cruel, but it's necessary to save the planet
Except the fact that he wants to rule the world
@@holdenlouie2905 xq
@@holdenlouie2905 it was the only outcome for peace he is an anti hero his goal is good his methods are drastic but it’s all for the good of mankind
@@jsn-_-smoke8786 he may view his goals as logical and toward peace, but he sees a future where he also rules everyone, and probably wouldn't take kindly to opposition. Don't get me wrong, Dr Doom is one of my favorite characters, but in my opinion I wouldn't say he's an anti-hero, I would say he's a great villain
@@holdenlouie2905 i think that's the point. He thinks the world is tainted, leading to self-destruction. He offers peace through tyranny. Also in his homeland Latveria, the citizens idolize him as they saw dr doom as a saint.
His story would make a great movie. I hope the MCU consider this
He needs to be the next Villain that is unseen only in the background. Galactus, Kang the Conquer all fall before the might of Doom.
Dr doom movie would rival Joker. Still hoping Julian McMahon will play as doom.
@@carltasticdrew9633 Joker and Doom are in my opinion the best comic book villains ever
@@talkingcontroller9396 with Magneto yes
@@carltasticdrew9633 Julian was the best live action Doom...he definitely was not the reason them movies weren't well received
R.I.P MF DOOM
For years there had been a debate as to the severity of the lab accident which had ruined Doom's face.
Jack Kirby chose the simple scar element, while Stan Lee chose total disfigurement. It wasn't until the
"genius" of John Byrne that the debate was "finally" answered. In doing so, both Jack and Stan were
correct. First, the scar reveal. The very first post accident Doom, shown for the 1st time in that awesome
bottom panel. And then later, while donning his red hot mask. Thus, destroying the whole of his face
for good. In this one issue, Byrne combined both theories, laying them to rest. Thanks, John.
Got to look up that issue 👀
I believe, though, that BOTH Jack Kirby, and, Stan Lee, DID say, in their own way, that Dr. Doom's facial disfigurement were a combination of events, the hairline scar, from his failed experiment in college, and, the burns it suffered when he placed the red-hot metal mask in his unprotected face! John Byrne just condensed it into ONE story. I believe, though, that in the original telling, it was multiple comics before the WHOLE story was divulged, and , the segment where Dr. Doom foresaw the future, and, saved his mother's soul from Mephisto, with the help of Dr. Strange, are later additions to Dr. Doom's history!
@@petergant8767 No; actually, Jack and Stan's origins, of Doom, were separate in their conclusions. It wasn't until John Byrne
cleared it all up, combining the two theories, into one perfect conclusion. Thus, ending an almost 3 decade debate.
The recent secret wars storyline should unmasked Victor and possibly the damage caused by putting on the hot red mask. The bridge of his nose was gone as well as some teeth and heavy scarring. In attempt to redeem Victor, Richards managed to repair his face, which, of course, was disfigured again, ironically, during a heroic act when Victor tried to be the new Iron Man. Either way, John Byrne managed to retain the notion. Jack Kirby put forth that it was just a tiny scar on his face, and his massive ego cannot allow the fact that he was no longer perfect.
Until watching this video, I was unaware that Doctor Doom had successfully freed his mother from hell and the means that enabled him to do so. For me, it was just as surprised to learn that it was Doctor Strange that had assisted in this accomplishment.
I am more surprised he did not try to kill Dr. Strange so that he would not share that Doom could not do it by himself.
@@saturncrush Doom is a Man of honor he would not kill Dr Strange in that adventure. Maybe another day
@@TheVetoSkreeemer It is one thing I have recently learned from the new Dr Doom series and my research. The dude is a complicated man.
@@saturncrush That is what makes him interesting.
@@saturncrush It really REALLY depends on the author. Waid has him utterly honorless and forsake everything else. The guy behind Young Avengers also has him as a childkiller.
Oh so doom is actually just a good guy who wants the greater good in humanity huh, man I think I found my fav villain
I am a huge Doom fan... favourite character ever, in any media, villain or otherwise... I have him tattooed on the back of my neck 😹 but I must say that this has to be the most concise, well put together Doom video I've seen... excellent work, love your channel.
What about MF DOOM
ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MANS NAME
Have you seen his Death Battles against Darth Vader and also Lex Luthor?? Doom is one of my top fave characters of all time too!! Would love to see that tattoo!!
Check out his NFT’s on Veve

"Pain???
That is for lesser men!!!
What can pain mean to Victor Von Doom?"
My favorite all-time Doom quote.
And words I like to live by.
Doctor Doom has one of the most perfect villain origin stories.
Yes! Doom Is Pleased With This Video
i get why people say he's the best villain. He is
Villian?...Doom is the hero we deserve
@@seanthomxx2694 kinda. He's a hero too. I get why people say he's the best villain now tho. Finally . I understand m
@@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 He's a definitely 2-3 MCU phase villian (ex say he debuts in phase 5 he could be a main villian until phase 9 or 10) I understand why Kevin Feige is being hush about Dr Doom...he's THE marvel villian...
F 4 is unworthy
He really deserves his own origin movie even prior to introducing F4 in MCU. 1. Origins of Victor Van Doom with a glimpse of Reed Richards 2. Origins of F4 with emphasizing on Victor&Reed's adversary. 3. F4 integrating with the rest of MCU 4. Introducing Franklin Richards.
I never realized how epic the story of Doctor Doom was. I just thought he was some random punk who got superpowers and put on a mask like in the Fantastic Four movie.
Yeah the movies never did Dr. Doom right.
They blended the Ultimats DR DOOM with 616 DR DOOM in the movies.
What the Fantastic 4 movies combined did with Dr. Doom is arguably just as bad as what they did with Galactus
My knowledge of comics is mostly limited to the movies and I didn’t know much about Doom before this video. He seems like an awesome character and I really hope he gets introduced into the MCU sooner than later
Huffffff... As children we love heroes and as adults we understand villians!!!!! 😣😣😣😣😣
That's a sad truth
society
This made me cringe too much
@Marko Djurdjevic this is the definition of im14andthisisdeep
Magneto was right
“FOOT DIVE!” - Dr. Doom
"PLASMA BEAM!"
"I'LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE FACING MAGNETO!"
"PHOTON ARRAY"
Doom is one of the best characters not just his story but for the fact that he isn't good or evil he is completely neutral
Doom is quite a complex villain.
He's definitely one of my favorite Fantastic Four foes.
They never do him Justice in the movies. They need to flesh out his backstory to make him more memorable like Magneto in the movies.
he's not a villain, he's more like anti-hero type
Yes but he kills without hesitate for greater good maybe anti-villian ?
He's a narcissist. Good and evil are irrelevant to him, he has a Plan, and it is Perfect (or so he thinks). He will always make mistakes at crucial points, then blame others for his own mistakes. He looked at possible futures, but his search was limited to futures that fit his preconception: either they accepted his rule and it became Doom's paradise, or they fell into ruin.
He's Anti Villain he believes humanity will flourish and survive under his rule but he's a megalomanic and power hungry the only woman he thinks can be his queen is Sue Storm
@@SeedlingNL nah if he was any of that he'd be like cruel dictator,but he only wanted good for people. So with the great power comes great responsibility, he took the responsibility rightfully for good of mankind by eliminating corrupted governments ,instead of misusing his power like an actual narcissist. The real narcissists were those who brought suffering to him like mafisto and the people who brought oppression to his village.
He's a villian sure he may have good motives but he is a villian through and through
It's a shame that some people are so lazy that they'll just believe the 20th Century Fox dumb version of Dr Doom's origin instead of reading Marvel's real origin.
@@thewolverine2225 Did you not watch the video?
Dr Doom is one of the coolest villains in the marvel universe and is a very interesting character that deserves better treatment in the movies.
Would love to see Strange & Doom team up to battle Mephisto for real!
I feel like this could be perfect for the next phase! Bare with me here...
Doom solo origin film showing the death of his mother, Mafesto (with the Prophecy he'd be a king) and his descent into dark magic.
This is also the introduction of Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic) but before he got his powers.
They work on a time machine, but when it explodes Doom finds out Reed didn't tell him about a mistakein the calculations, and blames him. The impact is minimised only by the help of a colleague who turns out to be a Tibetan monk who tells him to find Strange and dies in the explosion.
After the machine explodes, it appears it works as Doom is visited by an older, cyborg Dr. Doom (from next phase) who is super evil but assumes Doom is too.
He hates the hateful thing he's become and kills his future self, and decides to take the path the monk suggests, not realising it's the very path that leads to him becoming a villain.
He says goodbye to Valeria and begins the journey to Tibet and the film finishes with his fight with the yeti, and being found by the monks.
Then he appears in Doctor Strange as an understudy journey to master, and undergoes the tournament of mystics with Strange.
He loses, but tricks Strange into fighting (and defeating) Mafesto, releasing his mother (but only in soul, enraging Doom who finally decides to melt the mask to his face after his failure).
Strange is gravely injured in the process.
Doom then becomes the new head of the order as the only other Master and takes on Dr. Doom.
Other heroes try to save Strange covertly but lose to Dr. Doom, who pummels the new Iron Man/Spiderman (brutally) and offers to split Hulk/Banner (who agrees).
Film finishes with Dr Doom vowing to take back his homeland.
Whilst this is happening, Captain Marvel is fighting a dark new rising in space.
She meets the Fantastic Four who have been on missions in space for years and know of Doom but not as he is now, and don't see him as a threat.
They're ambushed in space and both F4 and Captain Marvel ends up getting beaten by (big reveal) Nova.
Nova's notable absence is revealed to be due to him being the new herald of (bigger reveal) Galactus.
They barely escape, but they're heavily wounded and take a while to return to earth and longer to recover.
Back on Earth, Dr. Doom convinces the Guardians to join him, telling them he can resurrect Gamora with his dark magic (he can and does, but she's crazy without her soul).
Dr. Doom and co return to Latveria, where people are under harsh rule of the killer of his mother.
Dr. Doom takes over, armed with master tactics, tech and new magic, as well as the help from Guardians, Hulk + Strange (who he has manipulated into helping him).
Dr. Doom becomes king, fulfilling the Prophecy
Captain Marvel + Spiderman infiltrate the city to take him out, but realises he is loved when he regains power.
They start to think he could be an ally against the impending Nova + Galactus before getting captured by Dr. Doom.
Big finale for the Fantastic 4, Iron Man etc + Shield to get them back from Dr. Doom.
Assault on Latveria, with a potential attack from Nova and Galactus inbound.
Can they rescue the Captain and Spidy?
Will Dr. Doom help in the fight against Galactus when the first wave arrives in the second half of the film, led by Nova?
(Galactus start of next phase)
I mean, come on...
Dude......please make this a Wattpad I would read it holy shit 👀
That was AWESOME! Didn't know his story was that deep.
What made Doom's win over Mephisto, in Triumph & Torment, great is that he beat the Devil at his own game. Doom tricked Mephisto into releasing his mother's soul. It wasn't enough for Doom to just get his mother's soul but he slapped the Devil in the face while doing it.
Why does this have so few views?
upinyocribdawg68 I know right? This channel deserved a lot of recognition like ComicExplained!
Doom has always been one of my favourite "so-called" villains! Loving your videos! Great stuff!
A totally different yet immensely interesting perspective has been gained on Victor Von Doom's already legendary story...!
So good to see the story retold in its original version.:)
This was one of the most interesting and entertaining origin story’s I’ve ever learned about. Subscribed. Great voice work sir
I did not expect such a dark story... lol.
My favourite human villain in Marvel comics!
True nobleman strive through darkness & becomes the emblem of light as well as hope 👍
THIS WAS GREAT!!! Thanks for posting this!
MF DOOM brought me here!!! Rest In Peace!!!
Seeing the badass and highly feared Dr. Doom doing Fortnite dances broke my heart a little.
I mean Doom is theatrical
The only power greater than Doom's is capitalism...
Great vid Merry. Love me some Doom.
Incredible video! Thank you so much for this!
Man I'm so glad that he was able to finally save his mom.
13:07 Victor von Doom's progression to Dr. Doom could be tied up to the upcoming Dr. Stange in the Multiverse of Madness where the monks from Kamar-Taj could be the ones helping him. And as we see in the trailer Kamar-Taj is in destruction already as Dr. Stange and Wong have returned. Probably Dr. Doom the one opening the multiverse further to save his mother's soul as well as Wanda helping Dr. Doom later in the movie as she finds out that Dr. Doom has this ability.
The best narrator l've ever seen. Awesome content, very well explained. I subbed
Love when these come out!
This is an amazing story and character
I can't wait for Mrvel to do the DOOM movie, I can wait decades for this
They will ruin it
@@ajlomax603 Considering Disney owns Marvel now, they will tone down his dark past and more funny humor.
@@carltasticdrew9633 I read part of the Dr Doom Script...it does Doom justice.. without spoiling it...they use his origin story
Think Batman begins but if Bruce killed the criminal Ras told him killed Ras and the false Ras too and he took over the league of shadows
This was more to his backstory then I ever know. I always compared him with Ben Grimm (Thing). The most I know of Dr. Doom was he had a scar that wasn't so bad but, he made it into a disfigurement and put the full blame on Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic). While Ben had become disfigured to the point of not being able to show himself in public do to Reed. If anyone had the right to be mad at the world and seek revenge on Reed, it was Ben. But he choose to keep a positive view on life.
This spoke to me on the levels of: just because something bad happens never means you have to be a bad person.
But now. Learn how so much lead up to him becoming Dr. Doom and in a weird way.... doing good for what had happen to him and his family....
I guess I need a moment after watch this video to take it all in.
Great video :) I loved the length of the video
Dr. Doom has always been one of my Favorite All-time Comic Book Characters. I loved his story arc in the original Secret Wars series and the Graphic Novel, Emperor Doom is one of the best graphic novels of All-time. He is a Magnificently Complex Character.
Thanks. Great story content. Really enjoy you channel
Great job with the greatest fictional character of all time.
“The best MC with no chain ya ever” - MF DOOM Figaro
That was awesome! First time listener! Now long time fan!
thank you for explaining this i love learning more and more about marvel
Amazing storytelling, and an amazing video!
Best origin story in comics.
Great video man, thank you for making it! Let us hope Doom will appear in the MCU!
Great video man!!!!
Wow !!You are such a good story teller 👏👏👏👏💯
Doom didn't make any mistake in any calculation. Richards was jealous and sabotaged his equations, I'm telling you! IT WAS A CONSPIRACY!
Yeah! F that lil pissant Reed Richards!!! No so Fantastic now, huh?
Doom 2099 is still one of my favorite takes on the character...!
It's become clear to me that many comic book villians are merely men who see the big picture and are proactive....both which are positive characteristics in my opinion.
The problem is when they force their ideals onto others.
@@kuunami agreed...forcing one's beliefs and ideas onto thers is villainous no matter who does it.
I want to see this story made in the mcu before he is introduced as a villain
I mean with a story this complex they either give him his own show or give him a movie
thanks for the video
RIP MF DOOM 10.31.20
😔
Dude you make the story so deep I am now a bigger fan of your stream!!!
That was the most in-depth information about Dr. doom I have ever known , unless I forgot long ago.
Love ur content best stuff after 12 am love falling to sleep to this 😴😌
This was AWESOME!
On a lighter note, I actually went as Doctor Doom on Halloween at age 4 🤣
And then you watch him in the movies. Tragic
Such a disgrace
Wow, I really love this storyline of Dr. Doom way better than the others of read or heard about.
I'm new to this page and i love it!!! Thank you so much for the cinematic reading! Have you considered reading whole storylines? Such as yhe coming of Galactus,death of gwen stacy etc or would that be to time consuming? Either way thanks again.
Great Work! \m/
The best villians are the ones who see themselves as the hero.
best explanation on youtube. New sub.
Great video!
This is the best video I have seen GOLD
Dope vid!!
Frogware's Sherlock Holmes music in the background? Hell yeah. Also, fun fact. The suit Dr. Doom wears carries splinters of the true cross, the one Jesus died on. Why? To keep Dracula and others like him from getting near Doom.
This video is amazing
Awesome video thank you
Thanks, I needed to know!
Doom is the man!!!!👊🏾👌🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲🇬🇧
This can be a stand alone movie for Marvel.
Fuck that give him a trilogy
I think they missed the part where they explain why he's evil, because there is literally nothing evil about him in this video, this is the most selfless man i have ever scene.
Why is he evil
@@thewolverine2225 I don’t know, in the comics and most media his the villain, and now that I have scene his backstory I am confused on why that is
@@beelance25 he’s evil because as a child he was always marginalised as he was racially abused for being a gypsy he has brown skin Romanians with brown skin were always mocked his mother and father were brown his father was killed by a Romanian king and mother was abused by their people and she also got sent to hell that is where his hate for humanity grew he wanted to save his mother in doing so he wounded his face hence the mask
Well like the “perfect world” under Doom that was shown he needed to punish, kill, and threaten many people in order to create tolerance and unity. An authoritarian approach to peace. Many I’m sure would disagree with that, Richards, Xavier’s, and Avengers philosophy for example. An MCU example being Thanos who wanted to create a balanced world but needed to wipe out half the universe to do so. They have good intentions but catastrophic plans in conducting them
Best origin video I’ve seen
Nice work.
Doom has never been the villain, it's the Fantastic Four that are the bad guys. Those buffoons don't realize that every time they thwart Doom, they're sending humanity down the toilet!!!! Doom is quite possibly the MCU's greatest HERO!
Preach!
Great video
Well done!
This is like the most badass villain origin story ever
I'm subscribed to easily 50-100 comic book/pop culture channels and watch 4-5 hours of RUclips per day, but somehow, I'd never seen this one before like 4 days ago. Been binging for days!
