This is now the third adaptation that has done the character in a very uninteresting way. The best version backstory wise is the one that marvel sabotaged and pretended didn't exist for decades.
I think it's fucking stupid how often Doom is made to be a cosmic universe-altering threat. It's so much more interesting that there's just a magical Mussolini with robot clones that hates this one family. Him doing this shit is so lame.
@hudkink@chlorbee Every creative that came after could take any elements and put into their own art, in no small part because the movie could be seen by anyone and everyone for essentially nothing. It allows creativity to exist unimpeded by capitalist demands
@hudkink@chlorbee I always point to George Romero and the Night of the living dead movie. Copyrighting error made it public domain after like 2 weeks, and it consequentially laid the foundations for every zombie movie book and game made for the next 6 decades.
@quaithesriddle GRRM is many things, but one he is not is subtle. The books are filled with shmbolism that directly tie to future events, to the point that non-magical characters understand it.
YOUNG WASHINGTON overperformed yesterday and made $7.6M domestically on its opening day.
Itโs now on track for a $17M-$21M domestic debut, another sleeper hit from @AngelStudiosInc after SOUND OF FREEDOM and DAVID.
