In Jonathan Hickman’s Secret Wars, when the multiverse was collapsing from Incursions, the Avengers, the Illuminati, and cosmic entities like the Celestials all failed to stop the apocalypse. Doom stepped up, stole the power of the Beyonders, saved what was left of reality, and created Battleworld ruling it as an absolute god. In the comics, when Thanos challenged God Emperor Doom face to face, Doom ripped Thanos's spine out with his bare hands in a single move.
Thanos relied on cosmic items and giant armies. Doom is a self-made nightmare, second only to Reed Richards in scientific intelligence and second only to Stephen Strange in dark magic. Iron Man can hack a computer and Doctor Strange can cast a spell, but neither can combine quantum physics with demonology to rewrite reality. Doom fuses high-level tech with ancient sorcery, making him impossible for standard Avengers tactics to predict or counter.
@DiscussingFilm Notice how Spider-Man is holding the king chess piece. And in this movie poster bottom left there’s a spider (Spider-Man) all alone facing the king chess piece (doom). Absolute cinema
Tom Holland says he knew he got Spider-Man after auditioning with Robert Downey Jr. then Marvel made him wait six more weeks.
“The audition process was horrible. It was like seven months.”
“There was me and six other kids, and Downey was there. So we all tested with Downey.”
“It’s the best audition I’ve ever done. Him and I were riffing off each other.”
“I rang my mom afterwards and said, ‘Mom, I think I got it. That was the best audition I’ve ever done.’”
“Then six weeks go by and I didn’t hear anything.”
Kendrick Perkins on the Timberwolves next season:
"I know a lot of people are down on the Minnesota Timberwolves. I'm not one of them. I think it's only two teams that I'm putting ahead of them, and that's the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City... we're gonna see a different version of Anthony Edwards this year. We're gonna see an MVP type version of Anthony Edwards" 👀🐺

🎙️ Brandon Miller on LaMelo Ball and the trade:
"It's tough going through trade deadline, this time seeing your brothers from Day 1 gone... it hurts, but we all know the NBA game and I know he will be great in Minnesota and what they have going on there."
"Of course, he still has a lot to learn. I feel like everybody that young has a lot to learn, so I'm excited to see his growth. That was the main thing I was excited for him about last year, just his leadership growth. I feel like the media had him looking crazy a lot of times..."
