The reason so many people want RDJ’s Doom to be a Stark variant is because the alternative is that Marvel, and by extension Disney, is in desperation mode. “Iron Man did well, Iron Man was played by RDJ, we want this movie to do well, we need to throw a dump truck full of money at RDJ again.”
Furthermore, RDJ, as much as I enjoy his performances, always plays the same character in any movie that isn’t Oppenheimer. If this Dr Doom isn’t a Stark variant, it’s going to be weird at best and terrible at worst when he acts like Tony Stark.
Or Chaplin?
Or, to a lesser.extent - A Scanner Darkly? And I guess Doolittle. And probably others.
I thought he did great in the Sherlock movies, was hoping they’d do a 3rd one, but maybe that’s just me.
Still on the board as of June.
Edit: still wouldn’t hold my breath, much like The Orville season 4.
Yes I’ve been waiting a while for it and Orville. Sucks how long its taking for Orville the most though, that show is way to good for what it’s billed as.
Sherlock wasn’t much different from Stark though. Smart sarcastic guy. That really isn’t Doom.
Badgey’s combs
Cold open to badgey in a study, sipping at a miniature warp core as he reads quietly.
Eventually, badgey will announce he has a story for us, he was combing through some old memory files and found an interesting rhyme in the stories - so he compiled them together to see what would happen.
Badgey clears his throat dramatically, and lets out a shrill dial-up sound as the screen fades over to the tale of the combs - compiled entirely of our favorite multi-faced man and one new Combs character because badgey is a dick.
Or not, I’m just stoned and insomniac, disregard me if you’d like.
There’s a few actors in the Star Trek acting community that get recycled and now and then. Cisco’s dad and the guy that played Zephrim Cochran come to mind. I can’t remember their names because I’m bad at names. Oh yeah and the guy that played Odo was in one or two other things too. They do the kind of thing a lot actually.
If you ever see a Star Trek actor in any other TV show It usually means it’s going to be a bunch of others soon enough.
I like to think they had Jeffrey Combes on set every day just in case any actors didn’t show up.
I mean, it doesn’t necessarily rule out a convoluted explanation either. Let me tell you the story of a woman named Denise Crosby.
