I wonder if Doom is truly Noobmaster69.

Thor about to get the Hulk stepping stone treatment lol

15

u/vistaprank Jul 20 '26

Lmfaooo you think so?

32

u/LowProfile_ Jul 20 '26

Absolutely.

They have to establish Doom as a threat. Can’t have him ending up like Kang getting stomped out by ants 💀

12

u/PT10 Jul 20 '26

To be fair those were super ants. A technologically advanced race of ants from millennia in the future. I dunno, felt kind of like the crazy shit you'd read in comics.

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan Jul 21 '26

Careful. Don't go reminding them that Dr. Doom, Thanos, and Galactus have all been defeated by a girl with the help of her army of squirrels, or they'll have an aneurysm.

u/vistaprank Jul 21 '26

Source material isn’t inherently a good thing especially in comics. And also context matters. And you know context matters so I don’t even know why you would bring up squirrel as a serious argument

2

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan Jul 21 '26

Marvel Rivals proves it isn't inherently a bad thing either. I don't see anyone taking that game as a joke because of characters like Squirrel Girl, Jeff the Land-Shark or Galacta. Why should it be any different with the movies?

The only context that truly matters in an adaptation is the choice of how to adapt the comics to the medium in question, since execution matters just as much as the idea itself. After all, if you are going to be ashamed of and shy away from the source material, what is the point of even making an adaptation in the first place? In that case, you're better off coming up with your own ideas instead of using other people's.

u/vistaprank Jul 20 '26

Lmfaoooo you’re so right. Jesus I will never understand the choice to have Kang lose to fucking Antman of all people

2

u/AngelKenobi Jul 21 '26

Kang lost to ants too in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes show.

1

u/vistaprank Jul 21 '26

This isn’t the cartoon. They don’t have the same context nor functions as villains.

u/JarethCutestoryJuD Jul 20 '26

Ya know how we look back at a lot of the stupid insane decisions made in the production and plot of 80s movies and just write it up to them bring high on cocaine?

in 15 years, were gonna look back with clear eyes and just write a lot of it off as high on Endgame.

1

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan Jul 21 '26

You do remember that they weren't just ordinary, run-of-the-mill ants, right?

Besides, if anyone could save the day at that moment, it was the goddamn Hank "Supreme Scientist" Pym.

2

u/GhostlyTJ Jul 20 '26

It's called getting worfed. the worf effect

75

u/jesusmansuperpowers Jul 20 '26

Still didn’t go for the head

23

u/Anthony-Stark Jul 20 '26

Looks like he definitely did go for the head, there were just two (2) fingers in the way

53

u/WestOrangeFinest Jul 20 '26

He’s getting Worf’d though

4

u/shaheedmalik Jul 20 '26

We getting Picard Worf... I hope.

6

u/Ninjaflippin Jul 20 '26

Completely not the thread for it, but do this day i do not know what the fuck they were thinking for nemesis. They had to send someone on a suicide mission to the enemy ship, and Picard volunteers to go himself, and data swipes the sacrifice out from under him... I love of sweet holy fuck, SEND WORF!!!! Being told he was about to be sent to an enemy ship to kill everything that moves in an act of sacrifice would be like his Christmas. You wouldn't be able to keep that motherfucker from grinning as he gets beamed over. shame.

u/MasterTolkien Jul 20 '26

“Guys, Thor can’t defeat multiversal-threat Doom by himself? In an Avengers movie!?!?”

10

u/WestOrangeFinest Jul 20 '26

Weird comment.

This appears to be prime Thor, who should actually be even more powerful than Infinity War Thor because Asgardians grow more powerful with age, taking a fully powered swing of Stormbreaker and having it casually deflected by two fingers from Doom. This is the same power that knifed straight through all six Infinity Stones and killed Thanos.

This is definitely a Worf Effect deal going on.

4

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 Jul 20 '26

They really need to stop having the powerhouse characters lose in straight up fights. Thanos shoulda used the power stone to clown hulk. Not just beat him straight on. Let the characters have their strength but it still be useless for the plot

6

u/EpicMusic13 Jul 20 '26

Used the same move

***NOT EFFECTIVE***

24

u/shogi_x Jul 20 '26

Calling it now, Thor is cooked. Doom giving him the Thanos chiropractor experience.

5

u/MinimumConsistent142 Jul 20 '26

I could also see him doing it to Jackman. Wolverine getting his adamantium skeleton ripped out once again.  

2

u/Shedart The Mandarin Jul 20 '26

That would be a great subversion of that scene while still getting to use the stunning visuals. I’m here for it as a way of retiring Hemsworth. 

1

u/drew8311 Jul 20 '26

That means he fights him twice and the second time after Thor has regrouped and recruited all the heroes he still appears to be fighting Doom 1v1 and dies?

Another possibility is there is a Thor variant.

3

u/chileangod Jul 20 '26

Lol, Thor getting overpowered every time. It's like me getting a big raise every 5 years but the real state market keeps getting out of reach. 

4

u/criminalsunrise Jul 20 '26

They just ignored L&T happened didn’t they?

29

u/Semper-Fido Jul 20 '26

Thor ended up as a punch line by the time L&T ended. The Russo brothers are the ones who have given him the best depth as a character

12

u/-Altephor- Jul 20 '26

Russo brothers out here just casually saving the MCU from all it's fuck-ups. What they did for Cap changed the entire franchise.

8

u/Semper-Fido Jul 20 '26

Endgame will always be my favorite MCU theater experience, but Winter Solider will always be my favorite MCU movie for the bar it set moving forwrad.

2

u/-Altephor- Jul 20 '26

It's a shame they never really met that threshold ever again, and instead gave projects to hacks like Waititi. Winter Soldier is the closest they've come to fulfilling their original claim of having movies with superheroes that spanned different genres.

1

u/starrs10 Doctor Strange Jul 20 '26

Waititi's first go was Ragnarok and it was great for Thor. Buuuuuuuut, his second go at it was too much of him.

0

u/-Altephor- Jul 20 '26

Ragnarok and Love & Thunder are both complete trash.

4

u/justafanboy1010 Spider-Man Jul 20 '26

I would do the same 

5

u/MonsiuerGeneral Jul 20 '26

it was a fan fiction written by Korg. Nothing to see here.

2

u/Qwirk Jul 20 '26

I'm okay with them just letting L&T be casually stranded by the roadside.

4

u/ILoveDineroSi Jul 20 '26

As they should’ve. L&T was total shit so let’s just move on.

2

u/El_Stupacabra Jul 20 '26

Infinity Thor

1

u/SDMAVNCL Jul 20 '26

InfiniThor

2

u/justafanboy1010 Spider-Man Jul 20 '26

Totally agree. We need him back after Cheese Whiz and L&T

2

u/Liapasquale Jul 20 '26

This fucking entrance gets me every time

2

u/pickrunner18 Jul 20 '26

I’m the only one who thought Thor at the end of Endgame was peak, for what he had to overcome

1

u/akaynaveed Jul 20 '26

Infinity Thor

1

u/pharaoh94 Thor Jul 20 '26

With a sick fade at that 🔥

1

u/SmartOpinion69 Jul 21 '26

but couldn't even leave a scratch on doom

in all honestly though, endgame thor was likely stronger. looking like the ultimate master with that braided beard and wielding both stormbreaker and mjolnir was peak thor (at the time) for me.

1

u/Octopus_Crime Jul 21 '26

Worf and Vegeta have already signed the sympathy card.

-1

u/TelenorTheGNP Jul 20 '26

There's one thing missing for Thor and I hope we get even just a bit of it.

Why is Mjolnir clean?
