Since there have been some discussions over it, this is an opening sequence which I would have loved to have us start Doomsday.

So imagine it like this. We know Robert Downey Jr's iteration comes from Earth 828 & he was absent from the incidents in First Steps.

As I see it, he discovered the Multiverse & ran his research on it in the years the rest on his world accepted Fantastic Four.

Doom realises the Multiverse is vast which expands across multiple spectrums & most worlds also have another him.

We have seen many Dooms in the past. Ranging from films to animation so see it like this.

Imagine we open in The Void. By some trick, 828 Doom reached to the rest & eventually killed each.

Doom realises the actual threat & possible resistance which would come to him might come from himself.

& so, the opening sequence would have him here. Present & alive after he has killed each Doom.

This will prove him by far the smartest, strongest & even the scariest Doom has ever been.

These are my thoughts & I welcome the insights from everyone reading this.

This is an incredible drawing!

It's AI

Elvarien22026-01-08 15:20

you mention that as if it matters.

YOwololoO2026-01-08 15:33

It absolutely does. Art, by definition, must be done by a human being. Otherwise it’s just an image

Elvarien22026-01-08 16:11

You'll be pleased to know every piece of art is done by a human, this of course includes ai art.

YOwololoO2026-01-08 16:19

It does not include ai art. If I hire an artist to paint a picture, did I make that art? Obviously not.

So why would someone telling a robot to generate an image be making art?

Elvarien22026-01-08 16:35

Because your comparison fails.

I could use a complex cnc machine to machine a small statue out of a block of steel.

The whole process is me feeding instructions into the machine. Same as using a prompt based ai.

At the end, am i the artist?
Yes of course i am a lot of art involved machines and tools of various complexity.

Add to that good ai art involved so much more then just a prompt sometimes no prompt at all and your "instructions" comparison fails apart completely.

YOwololoO2026-01-08 16:38

God damnit I hate this world so much

Elvarien22026-01-08 19:51

You can let go of a lot of hate once you gain understanding of the thing you choose to hate. though a lot of it just gets replaced with other annoyances.

YOwololoO2026-01-08 22:35

I have plenty of understanding of AI. That’s WHY I hate it

AmusinglyArtistic2026-01-08 15:17

Thank you but the sketch was not from me. I am so sorry, I really tried to get it but I could not piece it together after multiple attempts.

I do hope the thought was still liked.

Hyattmarc2026-01-08 14:58

There could be similar, just with Kangs' instead. Closes that plot thread of multiversal threats and shows what level Doom is operating at.

Gemnist2026-01-08 15:23

Problem is, they’d have to bring Majors back into the studio. Maybe a possibility is repurposing the footage in the Quantumania mid-credits scene, but have each of the Kang variants overtaken by a Doombot, killing the Kangs and granting the Doombots their abilities.

jwbrkr742026-01-08 15:41

They don't have to bring Majors backs. It's been established not all variants of a person look the same across the multiverse. They could pick any of the ones that don't look like him.

Gemnist2026-01-08 16:31

That’d probably be easy if they had committed to recasting him instead of chickening out and replacing Kang with Doom. And on top of that, Kang has only been shown looking like Majors, so people will both notice and nitpick if they do that.

zhiryst2026-01-08 15:24

What if... Doom is a Kang? One of the many slightly different variants?

Trick-Painting-25292026-01-08 14:58

Damn the drawing is fabulous but I really wish they give us Dr Doom vs Council of Kangs or atleast comic accurate Thanos fight

mattarei2026-01-08 15:12

On one hand, Doom pulling out Thanos' spine feels a little ridiculous, on the other it'd be a great way to show casual audiences Doom's power from the get go. People won't remember Kang so well, but Thanos is very well known

Trick-Painting-25292026-01-08 15:57

I know it sounds ridiculous but if you remember any of the scenes from Daredevil series, whether the car door sequence of Wilson Fisk, or the Jail fight scene or the recent one where he literally sandwiched the head of a person, such scenes are essential to showcase a villain's power and threat

Thomas_JCG2026-01-08 15:06

Well, that just sounds like Kang Dynasty with extra steps.

UsernameFor20162026-01-08 15:18

All I want is Kangaroo

MattTheSmithers2026-01-08 15:10

Here’s the thing. It’s a cool scene to all of us because we know what a huge threat Doctor Doom is and what a big deal this would be.

The movies have not established Doctor Doom. Similar logic holds with the Council of Kangs. They weee never established as a threat,

That makes this scene, as an opening, functionally the same as Doom slaughtering a room full of extras.

It just doesn’t land in the way fans think it does without context.

Incomplet_1-342026-01-08 15:17

The council of Kang's were hyped up in the Loki series, but to people who just watched the movies all they have is the Kang in Quantumania, and despite his own testiment to his previous victories he didn't live up to the hype.

MattTheSmithers2026-01-08 16:14

I watched Loki. He still is underwhelming.

robodrew2026-01-08 15:21

It works if we had Fantastic Four like 7 years ago with multiple sequels and Doom showing up elsewhere so that he can go from threat to mega threat. If he's already the scariest Doom there is, where do you go from there? Like you said, no build up. God Emperor Doom has the impact he has in the Secret Wars comics because he has literally decades of story build up to that point.

Rytlock92026-01-08 15:24

It will work a lot better if it opens like infinity war, doom just kills someone we know at the start, preferably strong like Loki was, so we can know the guy is bad news

a2205992026-01-08 15:28

Mcu hadn’t established thanos as a significant threat until infinity war. Until that point all thanos did was a) grin b) sit on the chair and threaten ronan c) sit on the chair and grin d) say fine i ll do it myself
The first ten minutes of infinity war was some of the most chilling scenes especially if you, like me, were watching it on the first day.
Basically ragnarok had built up thor and hulk like anything and thanos just tossed off hulk like a dog does a chew toy and fucked up thor and slaughtered half of asgard like they were nothing.

The moment when banner says “thanos is coming” you genuinely felt the fear because he had just taken out two of the most powerful characters off the board.

If the russos pull off something like that with doom then they will be able to sell the audience om the rest of the movie.

hopey7tm2026-01-08 15:41

Thanos tossed off hulk???

a2205992026-01-08 15:44

Is tossing off some new slang that I am not aware of? Doesn’t thanos literally throw hulk like he is nothing

hopey7tm2026-01-08 15:47

It’s slang but not new. Maybe it’s a British thing.

Viz00772026-01-08 15:13

He should start by defeating strong hero who was undefeated like Carol because we have seen Thanos getting defeated in live action multiple times

whensmahvelFGC2026-01-08 15:13

THE DOOMEST DOOM

Ordinary-Chain-80472026-01-08 15:13

I’d say just gave him kill kill the council of Kangs

AmusinglyArtistic2026-01-08 15:20

They are really hoping we forget Kang completely & I would even actually feel surprised just so even Scott namedrops him ever.

Else even I would have not minded.

Kasta42026-01-08 15:13

I can't imagine being a fan of comic book film/media and using technology that invalidates artists.

The irony is palpable.

No one was waiting for you to post this. No one was demanding you use AI to hurry up and show us your picture. There is no justification. Stop using AI. And if you can’t help it, at least stop using it to make pictures you could ask someone to draw for you. You clearly prompted this to make it look like a drawing. You didn’t want to get caught. You wanted praise as an artist and credit for your completely unoriginal idea.

MSZ-0062026-01-08 15:25

So... kinda like Jet Li in The One (2001)? 😂

crappydeli2026-01-08 15:27

Good lord, do I hate the multiverse. Rick and Morty is the only show that ever did it correctly.

Soulwarfare422026-01-08 15:31

Casual audiences don't know who Dr Doom is, so this scene just wouldn't really mean much

Compare it to Infinity War for example. Thanos wasn't well known to casual audiences. However, to illustrate his strength and power, it is shown that he has defeated Thor and beat Hulk in a one on one fight. By this point, the audience is well aware of how strong Thor and Hulk is, yet they both loss to Thanos.

Something similar needs to be done with Dr Doom. I don't think having him kill Doom variants does much in this regard. Likewise, having him kill the Council of Kang doesn't mean much when one Kang Variant lost to Ants but it does close that loose plot thread.

Having Doom beat the Fantastic Four alone and then proceeds to beat the Avengers and X-Men alone through out the film is a good way to handle it. The only they can beat him is by uniting together, sort of thing

EDIT: this person deleted the drawing and their account because they were obviously using AI to pretend it was human drawing, sad to see really
