@jamaalburkmar: I don’t know how anyone could even begin to suggest that these two characters have had even remotely similar introductions. #whattowatch #avengersendgame #avengersdoomsday
The main difference between Thanos & Doctor Doom is actually nothing to do with their screentime. The Infinity Stones is the key difference, they are in nearly every movie and so when we see that is what Thanos wants we already care so much because of the history of the Infinity Stones

infinity war and end game felt like a finale at the end of the infinity saga but doomsday feels like a start at the end of the multiverse saga

The movies litteraly called ‘doomsday’ so people know who the villain is, something infinity war didn’t need to do.

小糸 :
the thing is too is that thanos was present even when he wasn’t actually present on screen. we had build up towards kang but have randomly switched towards doom it just all feels like a random afterthought.

Did everyone forget that this was supposed to be about Kang and it only changed because he had to be fired? It’s shoehorned in.

Doom hasn’t had the build up because it was meant to be kang

Nah you're reaching. The average viewer never made the connection between Thanos and the bits they dropped about him in the early stuff

Nate ⨷ :
but the thing is, outside of the mcu, doom is HUGE for marvel. probably their greatest villain period. meanwhile thanos doesn't even hit top 10. you kinda don't need any buildup in the movies, you already know who he is. not to mention thanos wasn't built up rly at all either outside of small cameos and post credit scenes. all of his most important stuff was in infinity war

They planted the seeds like so perfectly. You began to almost care about the stones if that makes sense or at the very least you knew a lot about them from the movies and they were the main object in around 75% of the movies leading up to infinity wars

I think you may be overstating how well know thanos was

The entire infinity saga was literally about Thanos 😭😭 The multiverse saga didn't even mention him once

Zeroes To Heroes :
Sure, Thanos may have only shown up a handful of times before Infinity war, but that doesn't mean he wasn't colluding in the shadows. Almost every single movie from Avengers to Infinity War had a small tease or Easter egg that when you look back, all roads lead to Thanos

Almost all 18 marvel movies linked to infinity war. Doomsday has like fantastic four and that’s it

Untitled_Noodle :
Thanos Had his "Fine I'll do it myself" moment which was so built up to and even just that moment alone is more than what we've gotten from doom and doom is one of my all time favourite characters. This isn't going to be Doom.

Rawsonindahouse :
they had 10 years of build up to Endgame, he was talked about and the stones were referenced in most of the films, Doom is a last min replacement because of what happened to Kang, nowhere near thr same

Kang is too blame

AisforAndis :
The buildup to Thanos wasn't a direct buildup to him as much as it was building up the power of the infinity stones. The stones were repeatedly featured in movies and their strength made incredibly apparent. They built up the power of Thanos by building up the stones.

Thanos had aura. No MCU villain will ever top Thanos. “Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives…” PEAK

Shane Taylor :
Is everyone forgetting we got a full appearances with significant screen time and lines in GOTG Vol 1? And not to mention he was spoken about as a major threat and fear throughout the entirely of the film. Also the fact that we learn all the way then that his goal was to collect the stones

Tom :
I still think it’s crazy that even though there’s been somewhat of a precedent for different versions of characters having different actors (Reed Richards etc), Marvel really decided to be really stubborn on NOT having Kang be portrayed by someone else in Kang Dynasty, feels like they shot themselves in the foot by pivoting from their actual setup to a different character entirely

and we had infinity stones throughout the movies, setting infinity war even more
what do we have to set up doom?

This was a replacement of Kang that’s why there’s no buildup , if you replace Doom with Kang then the buildup is clear

The F4 movie should’ve been about Doom if they were gonna rush him this much ngl

Dipped Gaming :
No one is claiming that because it didn’t happen. The lead up was for Kang until they pivoted. There has been no Doom lead up.
