Maybe this is gonna sound dumb and clueless as fuck but this poster kinda makes him look like a hue shifted Darth Vader.

Still better than floating heads I suppose.

Naw, you're not the first person to think Doom and Vader look similar. Big villain with a cape, a mask to cover their burned/disfigured face, and utilizing magic powers.

AFAIK there is no direct link that Vader is based on Doom, but at a high level they have similarities.

Someone who cares, please let me know if this will be the must see everyone told me infinity war was

Yes. You must see it. You'll die if you don't.

Really you'll eventually die either way, so you might as well see it.

There is potential. The comic this is based on was great. Spiderman got his black suit (they are probably just doing him turning into a spider or having 6 arms though). I'm assuming they will combine some Battle World elements with Zombie land and Lord God Doom. It might be in a sequel though.

The X-Men will be there and introduce new blood. I'm a big X-Men fan so I'm biased. The X-Men 97 cartoon is better than any fox movie though.

Who knows though. I won't be paying to see it in the theaters.

Pretty much what I saw at a glance

Are they doing the original secret wars or the newer one that was their version of infinite crisis on infinite earths?

No clue. I normally go into movies blind. I just assumed it would be a combo.

Am I the only person who's actually excited to see this?

No. I'm also very excited.
I just realy hope they don't try to connect Dr. Doom to Tony Stark with any multiversal shenanigans. He shouldn't even be seen without the mask. Should go full DREDD with it.

I doubt it. They felt the need to cast RDJ instead of finding a new actor. That killed any and all interest for me. I have nothing against him, he was a fine Iron Man; I'd like to see another person get a lead like that though. Instead we get Tony Stark but green.

Just seems to me they will forgoe good writing etc and just lean on RDJ being the draw. I have no plans on watching it because of that.

I’m in the same boat as you with the twist that I would have been a bit impressed if they brought him in without announcing it. I know there’s billing rules about this stuff but Marvel is an unlimited money machine they can figure out how to make the contracts work.

I think you're going to be disappointed.
