Doctor Doom's origin will be changed drastically in the new F4 movie

Well it's official. I will be boycotting this trainwreck.

[I]I’m excited to see it too, and my nerves really…The only thing I can tease you about is what I worked on most was the voice because nobody—even in the cartoons, when I was watching them I was like, “So where’s he from?” There’s a mild change and I’ll tell you because of our history.
He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m “Doom”. [/I]

I'm okay with changing things for the screen. Sometimes it needs to happen. But what is up with this movie? None of these changes make any sense or improve the source material. The only similarity between the source material and this adaptation is the names of the characters, and in this instance not even that. Sounds like Trank wanted to do Chronicle 2, but Fox paid him bookoo bucks to do it as FF so they could keep the rights.

Or, this movie somehow destroys and surpasses our expectations and is better than Days of Future Past and Winter Soldier.

Victor Domashev? LOL. This movie will make people beg Julian McMahon to come back with goat legs.

Wow... this movie gets worse with each new reveal. Part of me wants to see it succeed because I am a fan of Michael B. Jordan, but a bigger part of me wants this movie to fail spectacularly so Fox just gives up and let's the rights go back to Marvel.

Just when we thought things could not get worse, we were wrong....

So... his last name is different, and that means the movie is awful and will ruin happiness and puppies? I just want to be clear on this, because I'm not really seeing the cause for wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I didn't think Julian McMahon was bad, the character was horribly written. You could tell the movie studio was afraid of the source material with that B-movie plot that encompassed the first movie.

I actually didn't think he was bad either.

Well for me, it was everything after the name reveal that caused me to roll my eyes.

Particularly "[B]The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m “Doom”. [/B]"

Last name is different
He is not the ruler of a country
He is not rich or powerful
He might not even be completely European
He's a programmer who writes on blog sites with the name "Doom"

This movie is still awful even if that didn't happen. And it has nothing to do with Michael B Jordan's casting if that's what you're thinking. It has to do with how unbelievably disrespectful the actors are toward the source material, calling comics "corny" and "for kids." That's such a rude thing to say, especially since those comics helped get them their roles. Also, the origin is going to be changed completely and they will wear "containment suits" instead of their normal outfits from the comics, because apparently those suits we know and love are just too "schitzy" and corny. Give me a break. This movie isn't a Fantastic Four movie at all. It's a disgrace. People need to stop supporting this. What we want to see is the Fantastic Four not the Fantastic Frenzy. We want to see the family we grew up with. Not this crap. This is everything that is wrong with superhero movies. It's one thing to change a few things and maybe cast an actor who doesn't look like their character but this is disgraceful.

I have given up on this movie ages ago, this news just killed me. I was literally laughing for 10 minutes.

This.

If you don't like comic books then don't do a comic book movie. Just come up with an original idea.

I haven't stopped laughing, I am actually crying with laughter now. I shouldn't laugh but I can't help myself, a programmer seriously? Doom is his internet name?

*Sigh*

Wish Michael B. Would have picked a different project. The movie could be outstanding but so far....it sounds like one of those films that could break a career.
