What would either wish for today?
My_Favourite_Pen2025-11-27 22:03
For Reed's turkey to be slightly dry.
PayneTrain1819992025-11-27 22:15
Slightly? He’d wish for him to have the one from Christmas Vacation.
My_Favourite_Pen2025-11-27 22:19
Only slightly because he wants it to just be annoying enough to not ruin his evening but make it so all Reed's guests take joy in knowing they are better cooks than the smartest man in the world.
VacantThoughts2025-11-27 22:33
Reed would never be the one who cooked the Turkey. It would either be Ben and it would turn out great or Johnny and he would burn the shit out of it.
My_Favourite_Pen2025-11-27 22:34
youre right he wouldnt cook it.
He'd *over*cook it
dcooper86622025-11-27 23:06
Ben ain’t messing up Thanksgiving dinner, you can bet the farm on it
eatmycunt692025-11-27 22:43
Based on the newest FF movie, Ben's already a really good cook

That's what Sue said
swoosh19922025-11-27 22:27
That or Franklin and Val want some Furby-kinda thing and Reed has to fight the Black Friday crowds to get it.
Final-Finger10032025-11-27 23:19
If you got stretchy powers I don’t think fighting that crowd would be that hard.
_Levitated_Shield_2025-11-27 22:43
Save the neck for me, Stark.
Akahige-2025-11-27 23:04
The turkey’s a little dry? OH FOUL THE CURSED THING! WHAT DEMON FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL CREATED THEE?

SinisterCryptid2025-11-28 00:28
Based on the long established rivalry between Doom and Tony….
King Arthur’s sword or something involving Merlin the Wizard
1302pewpew2025-11-28 01:38
Robert Downey Jr to be about two decades younger obviously
pedroktp2025-11-27 22:02
This is greedy
ElectricXylophon2025-11-27 22:03
Is that ai?
Spaghetti_Tac02025-11-27 22:07
That was my first thought cuz the fingers look a little odd and why are they using their pinkies? Idt that’s how breaking a wishbone is usually done, right?
pillmayken2025-11-27 22:09
That’s the way I was taught, with the pinky finger. I’m not American though, so take that as you will.
colbyxclusive2025-11-27 22:12
It’s not
ElectricXylophon2025-11-27 22:13
who‘s the artist?
colbyxclusive2025-11-27 22:16
Ask RDJ instead of making assumptions. I’m sure it would be easier for a multi millionaire to commission a specific piece of work than deal with “that’s ai” backlash.
isaidwhatisaidok2025-11-27 22:21
You would think so. But have you looked at the state of millionaires…ever?
eatmycunt692025-11-27 22:45
I don't think RDJ is the kind of man who would use AI slop.
Angiboy82025-11-27 22:50
I don’t think people outside of reddit and the art community care about AI. Most people I talk to in person think it’s cool. 15 years ago people said the same shit about CGI/digital artists and thought it was “slop” unless it was hand drawn.
cheezyfilms2025-11-27 23:08
It's not the same thing.
You're not wrong about regular people not really caring though. Until AI directly effects them they won't care
isaidwhatisaidok2025-11-27 22:53
I say this with no malice or attitude but we don’t know these people. Their public persona often doesn’t align with their personal beliefs.
plainviewbowling2025-11-27 22:22
Ah yes “ask RDJ and you shall receive”
colbyxclusive2025-11-27 22:23
I obviously didn’t mean literally.
urgasmic2025-11-27 22:22
i agree that people making AI claims is overdone and actually makes distinguishing between things that are actually AI difficult. if it's always AI, it's never AI.
with that said saying they should ask RDJ lol. or that he wouldn't do it because he's rich is also LOL.
Im_not_creepy32025-11-27 23:05
Dude, rich people cheap out all the time. Literally Chris Brown, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift have all been caught using AI even though they're all rich enough to commission real artists.
Okami06022025-11-28 00:34
Oh, did you ask RDJ that or are you making an assumption?
_Levitated_Shield_2025-11-27 22:44
The number of fingers is correct, so probably not.
Okami06022025-11-28 00:33
People need to understand that the amount of fingers is not a good way of identifying if it's ai or not...
DeepFriedW00kie2025-11-28 10:27
that's not really an indicator of AI anymore especially with an image where the hands are the main focus like this
rattatally2025-11-27 22:57
Who give a shit?
AverageAwndray2025-11-27 23:42
Yeah cause....who breaks wishbone like that?

No-Jello-41542025-11-27 22:08
This has to mean something
Dadpurple2025-11-27 22:20
It's obvious.
Doom and Stark are fighting over something, straining it between them. What could it be and what would we care about? Peter. The wishbone is Peter, being figuratively strained between two mentors. His old, Stark. His new, Doom. In the void left by losing Stark and everyone he knows, Doomsday will have Doom try to lure in Peter, attempting to 'lure him to the darkside' as there is usually a star wars reference around Peter in the films. The last two-part Avengers film ended with Peter turning to dust in Starks arms. This two-part Avengers film with have Peter torn apart at the hands of doom. The white 'straining' marks around the wishbone also look oddly similar to Spider-Sense in comics. It's all there, clear as day. Then you can see the dark smudges on the right corners, they look like water-damage or coffee-stains however I think it points to the symbiote, which is entering the frame heading towards the wishbone. Notice how it's from Stark's side? Not Dooms? If Star was once Peters savior and Doom is his demise, then having the 'stain' symbiote come in from the 'savior' side gives a hint that it will save Peter and revive him for Secret Wars.

Yeah that started as a joke but honestly by the end I kind of convinced myself lol
Humble_Attitude51732025-11-27 22:21
I'm curious myself. There has been the groundwork laid that Eternity can provide a single wish (presumably in each reality) and we know that Ms. Marvel's bracelets connect to Djinn and also seem to be a focal point for what's coming next. I also think it's fascinating that the Funko Pops and action figures confirm that a magic lamp was once part of the plot of Multiverse of Madness (presumably used in the defense of Kamar-Taj, as it's associated with Rintrah in both cases.
alenpetak112025-11-27 22:37
> Eternity can provide a single wish
Nah, Mephisto is gonna be a man who give Doom a Hood. Riri is the savior in Secret Wars...

is ironman the doctor doom?
alenpetak112025-11-27 22:39
it is Iron Doom and Doctor Man.

One universe knows him as the *Greatest* hero…
One knows him as the *ViLeSt* of Villains…
So too with the *Wishbone*: Who gets the Greater Half?
JE1632025-11-27 22:13
We are going to find out Tony was adopted in the main MCU verse and this alt from the F4 verse is the Tony that remained with his birth parents or was adopted by another family and become his universes version of Iron Man + Sorcerer Supreme
BenTheDiamondback2025-11-27 22:14
Just think… this time next year we’ll still only know what we gleaned about Doomsday from a couple trailers, but we’ll at least be one month away.

I suspect we'll get a voice-over or a first glimpse of DOOM in costume.

I believe it’ll be like the Age of Ultron’s very first teaser that only really showed the title card.
Front-Advantage-70352025-11-29 01:04
Bet it’s just Rdj turning around in that scene from F4

Oh don't worry I'm sure Tom Holland will leak the whole plot by then.
Veilkam2025-11-27 22:21
Doom Will definitely be a Tony variant, where he turn evil instead of an hero.
Segwaye2025-11-27 22:21

Rock_Samaritan2025-11-28 01:01
the wishbone is the multiverse?
BearOk90102025-11-28 01:30
Also TIL you're supposed to use your pinky to snap the wishbone?
WheresMyBrakes2025-11-28 16:11
I think the multiverse will be intertwined and people will be scattered across the wrong universes for a year until they fix it in secret wars.
doggonedad2025-11-27 22:22
My only concern about this movie is if they actually are crazy enough to cast rdj and not have him connected to stark in any way or some variant gone wrong. I thought I remembered them saying he’s not a stark variant way back after the casting announcement but of course they’ll say anything to avoid spoiling the story. I can’t get down with him just being Victor and not addressing why he looks exactly like Tony with some prosthetic and cgi.
Fair_Walk_86502025-11-27 22:38
They did the same BS with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, when they said “no one had guessed it yet” (who would be the new Black Panther) when several people had already publicly guessed it and figured it out. So they’ll lie if people have it figured out. He’s absolutely connected to Stark, otherwise there’s no reason to do it.
My guess is that BOTH theories (he’s not Doom/he is Doom) are true at once — AKA, I think they’re going to pull a bait and switch of sorts, by adapting the classic “body swap” storyline from Fantastic Four #10, *BUT* they’re going to change it from Reed to Stark.
Specifically, Doom will realize Tony was the anchor being for this universe, so using a combination of necromancy as seen in MoM and body swapping, he’ll gain control of Tony’s body so he can set off the incursions enough to become god Emperor Doom/cause Secret Wars to happen.
TL;DR — I think Robert Downey Jr is “playing the real Doom,” **but not in Doom’s own body**
doggonedad2025-11-27 22:43
I’m totally down for that story and adaptation, personally. To be honest the mcu has never really followed things 100% by the book and doing a true victor von doom story would feel a little out of place with everything they have going. Also seems like a story the Russos would for sure come back for. I agree though all signs point to a stark connection in some way—and given the casting I do not think that’s bad.
Fair_Walk_86502025-11-27 23:06
Like, they did the same bait and switch with Endgame, where they had Thanos as the villain so nobody who read the comics would figure out the story — specifically, they tricked everyone into thinking it would be based on Infinity War because of Thanos being the villain, when it turned out it was *ACTUALLY* the story from Avengers: Forever **but with Thanos instead of Kang**
Like, this is precedent, the MCU has done villain announcements to trick fans before. I think that’s what they’re doing, tricking all of us into thinking Doomsday is gonna follow the end of Hickman’s Avengers run, when it’s *ACTUALLY* gonna be based on Fantastic Four #10 **but with Stark instead of Reed**
Like, I think someone else is gonna play Doom for (most) of Doomsday/when he’s just “normal” Doom, then he’ll be played by RDJ in Secret Wars/for when he becomes “God Emperor” Doom — then he’ll most likely go back to his “original body” for the movies going forward, so Doom can still be in the MCU without it being RDJ.
FictionFantom2025-11-27 23:33
But wouldn’t this imply Doom’s real body is out there somewhere throughout this whole two-film arc? I’d assume if his body died, the dream walking would then be over, like in Avatar.
redshirt19722025-11-27 23:59
Just remember they said they wouldn’t undo the events of IW using time travel? Technically, they DIDNT UNDO events but the whole premise of restoration was time travel.
iflylikeaturtle2025-11-28 00:02
That’s super interesting
chloedever2025-11-28 07:14
I hate this anchor being bullshit it's soooo dull and uninteresting
Vladmerius2025-11-28 18:51
It would be insane if RDJ Doom is a red herring and they get Doom out of the body and new Tony Stark variant builds an iron man suit using stuff around Dooms castle lol.
redshirt19722025-11-27 23:58
Can’t be a stark variant if he’s stark prime
GodFeedethTheRavens2025-11-28 00:21
In the comics, Tony was adopted.
The reasonable twist is that Victor and Tony were identical twins separated at birth.
Brief-Ad61722025-11-28 08:49
yeah too bad that makes aboslutely no sense at all.
Howard Stark is american...
Doom is Latverian...
it would actually make more sense for Doom to be related to Blade than it would Tony.
and for those who dont know, Blades dad was Latverian...
zmkpr02025-11-28 00:36
It's also possible he's both Stark and Doom. Basically a clever way to bring back a dead character without giving it away just by having RDJ in the cast.
Who knows. But RDJ is expensive AF and there are a lot of actors in Hollywood. It makes zero sense to cast him if he’s just Doom with no connection to Stark.
UsernameFor20162025-11-27 22:23
AI slop?
theroitsmith2025-11-27 22:23
Hint the snap is a key part of him being Doom?
GoneAWOL12025-11-27 22:25
Not really hyped for this as it seems predictable given that they're using RDJ - and likely to shoehorn tying Ironman to Doctor Doom somehow.
I kinda wish they continued with the Kang storyline regardless of what happened to Jonathan Majors. At least this was a completely fresh main villian with no ties to any previous phases.

nypinta2025-11-28 00:44
I just feel like they'll explain Dr. Doom looking like RDJ because when Tony used the Gauntlet he wanted Thanos gone but he was also wishing for that suit of armor around the world and it's manifesting in a monkey paw like way.

I wonder if this is a hint hint nudge nudge at the two ways Tony’s snap could have gone. The one we got in Endgame and another universe where things went differently and turned Tony to a Doom variant?

He'd *over*cook it

King Arthur’s sword or something involving Merlin the Wizard
You're not wrong about regular people not really caring though. Until AI directly effects them they won't care
