Chattel slavery, most associated with the term "slavery", is illegal everywhere, but the governments aren't able to enforce it everywhere (e.g. Libya due to its civil war). And frankly it's not likely for a constitution to say that slavery is explicitly allowed in cases where it is (though I do know that the USA's constitution specifically says that it contains an exception for one type of slavery being allowed, which may be changed by Dr. Doom's proclamation)

In all seriousness, if a villain deserves a solo movie, it’s Doom. He is the leader of a small country who all just love him. His mom was a sorceress who made a deal with the literal devil in exchange for her soul and Doom fights him every year to get her soul back.

[@theeccentrictripper3863]

It's retarded too cuz they've tried plenty of times to have the whole "what if the villain was sympathetic" shtick and nearly always delivered milquetoast results, Doom is nearly an anti-hero depending on the story and he's an incredibly sympathetic character that more often than not has a prestige and esteem other villains don't enjoy.

[@timothycarney9652]

I like to imagine that going by the older style of animation this is taken from that this is a Doom that took over his nation VERY recently. I would love a follow up where it is revealed he went back and gave Latveria a glow up- like the fantastic four come to twart him and it turns out they just misconstrued his measures to improve his nation's standard of living as part of an evil scheme. Bonus points if it turns out he overshot, and his comments highlight flaws in the USA like the healthcare system, or maybe college in Latveria is free or whatever. Bonus points if Richards mentions an invention that could help and Doom assumes that then its widely available in america and Richards is showing him up- only for Reed to confess he hasn't actually mass produced it so his invention that would massively improve the average person's life is just sitting in his lab doing nothing.

[@MarquisLeary34]

Mostly true; it still seems backward in some ways since Victor is obsessed with preserving it in his childhood vision o fit.

[@tinkerer3399]

It varies depending on the author. But yeah overall it's viewed as pretty good as long as you don't speak against Doom.

[@Mr.Monacle]

​@@tinkerer3399to be fair, given Doom has turned Latveria into a technological juggernaut comparable to Wakanda in terms of development, and he did so... pretty much singlehandedly, I'd be genuinely baffled by anyone speaking out against Doom

Yeah, Latveria main source of export are Doom's patents that he is selling. But in the same time this is very dangerous since without Doom this country would be economically doomed.

[@drakegrandx5914]

To be fair Spidey was talking about a different kind of "surviving Winter", which is why he said "most of them". Doom was speaking of "surviving Winter" in the Medieval way of "producing and gathering enough resources to survive as a community", which the West has already succeeded in quite a while ago; now the people who die are because they don't have enough money, not because "the harvest was bad" (and are also an exception).

[@joshuawells7415]

well, not exactly, he has also implanted chips in everyone's brains, turning them into robot humans and essentially causing the extinction of humanity and in his own words, "the individual no longer matters because they are no longer human" , literally only doing what he tells them to do. He has created some paradises, but underneath it all, Doom is a genocidal maniac that has killed thousands and will do anything to get even his most petty of desires. In one of those paradises, he cured The Thing just to spite Reed Richards and basically created an impenetrable defense because the other supervillains were just as destructive as he was and he didn't want to deal with them, leaving the planet everyone was stuck on to be destroyed by the other villains while he and the "grateful populace" lived in an impenetrable city.

That's because unlike real-life dictators, Doom doesn't have to worry about his supporters turning on him - even when it's not a Doombot, anyone dumb enough to do so gets Eldritch Blasted.
