At this point, the multiverse is just a way to eat your cake and have it too. They can have multiple actors play the same role but maintain the property. This basically ensures that the MCU is an immortal Ship of Theseus, switching out its parts but maintaining its name.

@@summertyme5748 it’s been stated both ways throughout history, but the way you said it doesn’t make sense to me. The idiom is about wanting to be able to eat all your cake, but then still have it so you can still eat it. Benefit without sacrifice. Saying “have” before “eat” seems backwards to me.

@@RedheadDevito I agree, that phrase ONLY makes sense when said as “eat/have” because once you’ve eaten it you can’t still have it. Apparently the reversed way of saying it became popularized in the 1940s and stuck. I suspect it was due to the advent of TV and entertainment (and in the same way phrases like “Luke, I am your father” and “Play it again, Sam” became popular even though they were never said that way in their films).

[@metalface_villain]

this also means that there is no stakes or continuity and that no one will give a f*ck about anything that goes on since anything and everything can and will happen, which is exactly why after endgame the mcu has been utter dog crap. the whole multiverse shenanigans should have been used briefly for very few movies and be extremely focused on one thing, introduce the fantastic 4 and x-men in the mcu and then go back to how it was, no time travel and no multiverse bs, good ol origins for the new chars and a build up to a big event with doom as the new thanos of this saga.

[@agentkirb]

I feel like it's weird if there is no connection to Ironman. At the very least I would hope that the Avengers when they meet him go "hey, that looks like Tony Stark". I could invision a scene in a movie where RDJ cameos and the "good guys" gets tricked thinking it's a Tony variant. That would be a smart reason to have RDJ be the actor in that case. But if they don't do anything like that where they are putting the fact that he looks like Tony Stark as part of the plot, this doesn't really make sense otherwise.

[@summertyme5748]

The anchor being stuff is really dumb, so I hope they don't keep it in the future. It's obviously a McGuffin mechanism to make certain characters seem more important but it collapses due to its own illogic. A Universe is billions of years old - a 'human' being exists for an infinitesimally small amount of time, and that existence is contingent on everything that went on before. For example, if you parents never existed, then neither can you, so if you are an anchor being then so are they and all their parents and so on and so on. So you are basically back to the idea that any time travel creates an alternate reality - which makes sense, without the special pleading from the screen writer, where the time travel just does or does not do, whatever the plot wants. Which...is what the MCU has now.

[@thisacrazybeat5825]

Sounds like the terminator plot

[@PowuhToSeven]

Especially when there's no explanation of why the anchor being is so important to the universe. It's flashpoint to the max

[@BetaBreaking]

But they repaired Earth-10005 and saved it from doom (lol). I think you can get a new anchor being but they have to prove themselves and their place within that universe. Like it's a meta contextual narrative thing where anchors are franchises and the respective hero being that franchise. The Foxverse was basically dead after Jackman left with the Deadpool franchise being left in limbo for a bit while Marvel hashed out what to do. It's been "fixed" because there are more stories about Deadpool (and Wolverine), plus he's now interconnected with the MCU through his 4th wall breaking shenanigans, and the TVA connection. I feel like any universe that's interconnected with the MCU is safe from annihilation as those hero's or worlds serve a purpose to the overall timeline of the 616. Anyways that my 2cents

[@marshalljordan5956]

I like turtles!!! Just kidding. What I mean by that is....chill a bit maybe? It's a plot point that is meant to simplify things and clean up all the messes left behind by Disney chitting the bed during phases 4 and so far, 5 while trying to take itself wayyyy too seriously. You could male the same case for the infinity stones and DEFINITELY the gauntlet. Talk about silly and convenient. Do you know what cable ties are? We need something to tie all this multiverse/timeline nonsense into a manageable experience. You think the tva be sufficient but they're running into new problem in every series/film. So something to ANCHOR things to help things make sense isn't the worst thing that could happen. And just so it's out there...there is a villain LITERALLY called PARADOX. More than a strong metaphor and literal way to clue us in that the countless scientific paradoxes for time travel and multiversal travel are probably gonna be ignored on some level. In some of the comics, he is the REASON they can be broken. Maybe they'll get into that. But seeing as they portrayed him as a tantrum throwing unintelligent ninnypuss...I doubt it. They can't do EVERYTHING

I'm going to be honest, having Rpbert Downey Jr. be Doctor Doom instead of Cillian Murphy when they both won Oscars for the same film feels like the biggest safety net ever. Also, with bringing back the Russo brothers who initially said that they didn't want to direct the next Avengers films and that they didn't want to work with Marvel again until the end of the decade, all of this feels like a panic move. I think Marvel and the Russo brothers looked at all their recent failures and concluded that they needed each other to be successful and decided to return to the status quo.

[@DanielMorales-ti4vz]

Russo’s would repeatedly state that their dream film would be adapting Secret Wars… when the news broke out that the movie was being done and their name was no where attached I was honestly pretty shocked. Maybe it was some behind the scenes disagreements that have now been resolved.

As a late 80s born ,90s kid millennial, I have been a witness to superhero film era. I have survived few bad ones and has appreciated a lot of good ones too. I believe the peak was Endgame and now such time will never return.😢 We had few duds from mcu after endgame apart from couple of enjoyable ones like no way home and deadpool wolverine. But they were mostly a fan service or nostalgia betting. Now with bringing RDJ now this feels like what's the point ? not only it will dilute the emotional sacrifice we saw in Endgame but we will keep making comparisons around tony stark and doom characters as same actor is playing both. I will watch Avengers films when they will come and probably a Spiderman venom crossover if they make one . however rest of all fillers like black captain america or eternals , lady hulk I am gonna avoid for sure.

[@summertyme5748]

_still bums me out that we're not getting to see Kang realized as a villain_ They f'd this character up, and you just aren't able to admit. AntMan 3 is one of the worst MCU films ever and there is no coming back from that. In that film Janet Van Dyne claims she told them to stay away from the Quantum Realm. Uhm, no she didn't. She literally sent Scott into the Quantum Realm to get the healing particles for Ghost. That is a key plot point for the entire MCU and the writer of Quantumania simply forgot. The whole film is a mess. Kang being trapped in the Quantum Realm already makes him a hopeless idiot and a fool. He somehow "needs" tech from the Pym family from the 21st century - but he is from the 31st Century! It's like your plot is Captain Kirk is lost in space and needs a telescope from Magellan to find his way home. 🤣 When Kang catches the Pym family because they stupidly 'fall' back into the Quantum Realm.....he FORGETS to take their Pym particles. 🤣 (So AntMan and Cassie can keep growing big and small and smashing Kang's toys). You luckily catch the people with the 1000 year old pym formula you need...and are stupid too stupid to create yourself, and then you are too stupid to take the particles away from them. Even Kang's plan to have Scott (blow up in size) in order to (shrink down) the time chair begs the question - why not take the PARTICLES away and do it yourself. The writer of this film was stupid. He destroyed the character. He was fired because of this so you need to let it go.

Marvel still have a fair bit of unresolved plot threads to resolve: the origin of the Ten Rings in the post-credits; Kang being trapped in the quantum void(?); the Council of Kangs; etc. Just a shame things didn’t work out with Majors, as the Kang Dynasty would’ve been an interesting story to see unfold. The climax of Loki season 2 did a lot of justice to tying up some loose ends, but there’s still a lot hanging, for me. Conversely, Doom is a great character: just hope it works with RDJ. Can’t see him in any other role outside of Iron Man.

[@camilocuba6927]

The only reasonable explanation for me is that in the comics, Kang was originally a descendant of the inventor of time travel, which was Doom. However, in the MCU, Iron man invented time travel. Doom is probably now a variant of Tony and will be from the 1960s universe that the FF movie is rumored to take part in. I’m sure the creators thought that it woudnt make sense to introduce Doom in the main MCU timeline, since there has never been any hint of Latveria unlike the Black Panther, in which they had teased Wakanda, vibranium and Klaw before he was introduced.

Majors is out. Kang is out. As for being desperate - well, they are and the MCU and Kang's failure is a part of that.

Doom being just an iron man variant is a huge disservice to the character, have RDJ play a version of Victor Von Doom who coincidentally looks a little like Tony Stark, but since he wears his mask for 95% of his screen time none of the characters know and when his mask is removed they could style RDJ to look very different from TS. Or make him an iron man variant who is a servant of the real Dr Doom

[@SkottAllen]

I think a Doom variant's gone done transfered his consciousness into a Tony Stark variant's body like in the Demon in an Armor storyline. This means he's easily able to disguise himself as "a Tony", or to identify as "Tony Stark" around those who don't know he's a Doom. A lot of ppl still call him "Tony", but his friends call him Victor. Or simply "Doom". Doom's not really going around advertising to other characters that he's Doom, or outright telling people "I am Doom" all the time; whereas, any other Stark variants out there are technically still able to truly say to others, "I am Ironman". This variant of Tony is "different" from other Tonys in that way, and different from other characters in the Multiverse, because he's literally had a Victor Von Doom variant stuck in his head for years- instead of simply thinking about Thanos for years like how the real, original Tony did. It might not be technically correct to call him Tony Stark anymore, but people still often do lol It's sort of like that one time Doc Ock went and ended up with his mind inside Peter Parker's body, becoming "the Superior Spider-Man" (as some called ol' Octavius at that point...) and acting as Spider-Man, living Peter's life in Peter's body. Except in this case, Doctor Doom's gone and stuck himself in Tony Stark's body, and RDJ is "an actor playing a Doctor Doom Variant pretending to be Tony Stark", who's been living totally rent-free in Tony's head for many years by this point (as what he probably thinks to be "the superior Tony Stark" lol). Doc Ock ends up in a poor teenager's head/body when he takes over Spider-Man's life in the Superior Spider-Man storyline, but Doctor Doom trades up by going for Tony Stark, and stealing all Tony's wealth, power, and resources away from the Stark variant during the Doom variant's younger years. It instantly made the young Doom variant wealthy, powerful, and famous, while still allowing him to compete with and rival any of the Reed variants who come along... It may sort of bother him when people call him "Tony", so he might feel a need to say, "I'm Victor", or flat-out say, "I am Doom" to everyone eventually. Like "hey, guys, it's me, Doom, trust me I'm NOT Tony Stark and I'm NOT Ironman, I'm one of you guys who just stuck himself in Tony Stark's body... ya gotta let me on the Doom Council! I heard you guys were thinking about creating a new Council to rival The Reed Council now that most those pesky Kangs are gone, and you didn't invite me, the greatest Doom variant of all, to the party...," Just to clarify that, while he may currently be stuck inside a Tony Stark's body, he's still 100% a Victor Von Doom on the inside. As much of a Doom as the next Doom, or any other Doom. And he's the type of asshole who might seriously steal a Beyonder's powers, then become more like The Beyonder before starting referring to himself as God-Emperor Doom

[@natashaallen7154]

Please make a video movie breakdown of what secret wars could potentially be about? 😌

[@Nsaki1]

The relationship between Doctor Doom (Victor von Doom) and Iron Man in the comics is quite complex. In the "Infamous Iron Man" series, Victor von Doom takes on the mantle of Iron Man after Tony Stark's apparent death. This storyline explores Doom's attempt at redemption, using Stark's technology to become a hero. His version of the Iron Man suit is silver with green accents, reflecting his traditional colors. Downey's portrayal of Doctor Doom will likely bring a fresh and intriguing twist to the character, potentially exploring themes of redemption and the multifaceted nature of heroism and villainy, much like the "Infamous Iron Man" storyline. Fans are eager to see how this new role will be developed and integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel is about to shock the world. MARVEL IS BACK! They are about to break the internet yet again! WHAT A RUN!

[@kobefm_beeftuber5118]

When Deadpool first fell into the void the secret wars comic was next to him, I think the Void being battleworld makes sense, I can see Doomsday being like the civil war fight scene with earth 616 hero’s seeing hero’s from other universes with someone like Loki or Strange and presuming they are evil. Be really cool to see what happens and I can’t wait to see what’s next… I am optimistic but surely it can’t be worse than anything since endgame right?

I hate the choice by marvel to bring back RDJ, it seems lazy

[@jorgej.cruzhernandez9247]

Have you all heard of "Infamous Ironman"? They could be adapting it, as a variant of Victor Von Doom that looks like Tony Stark. He comes to the Sacred timeline and by interacting with Tony Stark's AI and actually looking like him, he takes on the mantle, until they realise that he ain't really Tony...

[@federico3652]

I think RDJ is going to play an amalgamation of God Doom and Superior Iron Man, but I don't think he's going to stay as the "final" Doom. Also, I think the role of Molecule Man is going to be passed to Loki, somehow.

[@igloovilleify]

In the new ultimate comics universe, Tony stark becomes Kang. Could have just had RDJ revealed as a recast Kang for just as much fan hype without all the backlash

[@NoonMight]

I don’t think anchor beings matter anymore after Deadpool. Paradox said it takes thousands of years for a world to die, so it’s not something we’re going to see in our mcu time line, otherwise Thor would be like the only person alive by the time it does. Paradox built the machine to make a timeline die faster, 72 hours to be exact, that’s why it was so important for Deadpool to do something. Otherwise, it rdj dying does make the universe die, being an anchor being, it wouldnt really matter, because it takes thousands of years for our mcu to actually die

My theory: Tony is a descendant of victor and in the f4 timeline victor is played by RDJ! It makes sense because that timeline is retro futuristic, “different mask same task” in my opinion means he’s playing a similar character with the same task of protecting the world, Doom could be looked at as a evil Iron man with magic to be honest

[@axd4092]

My theory my theory is that Dr. Doom will be a variant from Earth-838 who was either once part of the Illuminati or was a sorcerer from that universes Karma-Taj. Because the Illuminati was killed off, he took control of the Ultron bots and made them into on his “Doom Bots”, and travel to 616 to search for that universe’s Fantastic Four
