Had a talk with one of my friends about Ninjago the other day...

Don't get me wrong, it IS a show targeted for kids, but it does have themes and characters teens and adults can enjoy.

What are you hoping for Dr. Doom's character in Avengers Doomsday?

I’ve been sitting with this for a while, especially after the confirmation that Doom isn’t going to be some Tony Stark variant. THANK GOD BY THE WAY

That alone already shows they might be taking him seriously instead of trying to “MCU-ify” everything into a familiar face. Because Victor Von Doom doesn’t work if he’s just “evil Iron Man” or some multiverse reskin. That completely misses the point of who he is.

What I really hope for in Doomsday is simple: just give us Doom as he actually is in the comics.

Not softened. Not modernized into a sarcastic quip machine. Not turned into a tragic “he had a bad day and snapped” villain.

I want Doctor Doom as the absolute force of will he’s always been.

A ruler who genuinely believes he is the only one fit to save the world, and is terrifyingly convincing when he says it. A scientist who can stand next to Reed Richards intellectually and refuse to be second best. A sorcerer who doesn’t just dabble in magic but commands it with discipline and pride. A monarch who rules Latveria not because he “stole power,” but because the people, in their own complicated way, accept him. Make him have history with the Fantastic Four

I want the mask to matter. I want the ego, the discipline, the arrogance that is somehow backed up by results. I want him to walk into a room and not shout, not joke — just decide that everyone else is beneath him and make it feel believable.

And most importantly, I don’t want him reduced to a setup for someone else’s arc. Doom is the arc when he shows up.

If Marvel actually commits to that, then they might finally do the greatest comic villain justice (in a way a certain movie I shall not name hasn't done)

But if they miss it… they’re not just messing up a character. They’re wasting Doom. And that’s not a mistake you can really fix twice.

She used to a frightened, less confident person who needed people like Ragatha and Kinger (in Episode 3) for help to becoming someone who always shows support (helps Gangle out in Episode 4), shows a lot more empathy, and is more courageous compared to the pilot.

It's crazy how I don't see that many people talking about it.

Also, the animation improvement is genuinely bizarre lol.

Since I am relatively new to the fandom, what should I expect from the newly announced mini-series and what is Zoophobia about?

The reason I am asking this is because I heard lots of good things about it and the fact an entire fandom is STILL active after all these years is insane to me.
