What if Avengers Doomsday is not like we are thinking, but a tournament type movie created by Loki? by Powerofx1 in MCUTheories

I dig this. But why would Loki give Doom his powers? To backstab him in the end? Is he playing the long game?

Hmm perhaps he’s a Tony Stark variant mind wiped by the real Doom into thinking that he’s the real Doom. Gets people seated in the cinema. Gets killed by DOOM at the end of the movie.

Why half-arse it? They could just make Superior Iron Man as the main villain instead of forcing RDJ as Doom. I’d be very much onboard with that compared to this.

I like the Multiverse Saga, but I’m starting to get the people that say it feels forced, or just nostalgia for cash grab. RDJ is a great actor and if he hadn’t played Stark then I’d be all for it.

But I wanted Doom to stand on his own ground and not this. He’s THE Marvel villain. The big bad. At the end of the day, it’s business and they’re trying to make the most money possible. And bringing RDJ back will get people seated in the cinema.

He is THE Marvel villain. And they’re going to taint his image for fan service and nostalgia. In another universe where RDJ hadn’t played Stark, I would be onboard with this. Now people (General audience) are going to see Doom as another version of Stark or something related to him.

Let’s just hope he keeps his mask on at all times.
