Doom of the Fantastic Four

New origins

As always, the villain is the most controversial character in a superhero movie "“ in this case, we are talking about Doom and the Fantastic Four reboot.

The movie isn't doing well "“ and this is an understatement. This movie, who has seen its final trailer released at Comic Con, was the only film about which the fans weren't actually enthusiast. And that is not just because of the controversial cast. Just like it isn't just because the studio is still perfecting the special effects, even when there are about 2 or 3 weeks before the release.

This is also because Fantastic Four features one of the most awesome villains in the entire Marvel Comic Book Universe "“ and, by the looks of it, the studio won't do him any justice at all. That is, they won't do him any justice this time either"¦

Doom of the first Fantastic Four

The first Fantastic Four film was released in 2005, so about 10 years ago. The villain of the movie was Doom, a powerful industrialist with connections to all the Fantastic Four members, and even beyond that.

What really-really bothered the fans, back then, was that, from the first moment one sees him, one can realize that he is the evil guy. Sure enough, in the comics, he is still this resentful guy with a superiority complex.

However, that is because of his tragic upbringing: born a gypsy, with his mother dying while he was young, with his father dying in order to protect him, he was supposed to end up scarred. Mentally, that is, and not just physically.

The Fantastic Four Doom was a shallow character, with no real background other than the generic one. He wants more so he becomes evil when someone tries to stop him.

Does the Fantastic Four reboot of this year do the same mistake?
