[00:02] dropped, my first reaction was that Doctor Doom needs more setup, but a lot Darth Vader didn't need any setup, neither did Hannibal Lecter." The point needs to be in a great story. And remember, Thanos had a pretty lame [00:18] setup. He sat on his ass for two movies and then begrudgingly accepted responsibility for his own damn quest. But, I just don't think that Doctor Doom feels like a natural conclusion to the multiverse saga. In the Infinity saga, [00:30] the stones were slowly introduced and had importance for different characters. get to see that much of the multiverse until like the very end. This is because Marvel originally planned for Kang to be the main villain before pivoting to Doom [00:43] a few years ago. Now, had they not set up Kang, I think that Doom would have seemed like a natural next step in this saga. And look, he may be a great villain in this movie, but it's hard to see how he'll feel like a natural [00:56] conclusion to end a story arc they spent so much time setting up Kang. Doom is my favorite Marvel character and I think he deserves a slow burn to establish him as deserves a slow burn to establish him as this universe's ultimate big bad.
