Marc is alluding to the end of Blood Hunt, which...didn't really do anything for me, and while it did bring Moon Knight back, the whole affair seemed largely to set up the next event, One World Under Doom. I'm in no mood for that, I gotta say: Doom might be a goddamn improvement at this point. I'm not even joking, he'd probably be better for women's rights alone. (Everyone is mistreated equally under Doom, but he wouldn't withhold life-saving care for bullcrap reasons.) I swear it feels like Marvel's pulled this like four times, with Norman Osborn or Hydra Cap: here's a horrible fascist state, that's different than the one you're stuck in because...um...I dunno, Arnim Zola?
As a proud cat dad I can confirm that IS pretty diabolical…so know I definitely want to hear it. Vaporwave edition of Meom Mix? Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteYeah even I would feel better under a Doom-controlled system than the way we’re all about suffer under. I wonder how long it’ll last; a year, maybe two tops? Dark Reign only lasted a year so probably that. We’ll see.
I know if varies by writer, but I tend to picture Latveria as having a robust social safety net, if only just so Doom can show off how awesome his country is. Readily available healthcare, no poverty, no homelessness, stuff like that. I'm sure everyone has to work, but I also picture that Doom just, like, makes up jobs for people to do, since after all, he could easily program a machine to do those jobs.
ReplyDelete(Also, I picture Doom as environmentally friendly, when he's not mucking about with magic or science that might destabilize the very fabric of the universe.)
It's just the whole, "oppressive dictatorship, where you have to watch your every word," aspect that's kind of a big sticking point.
Yup. That’s it exactly. On paper/theory, Doom would definitely fix a lot of long-lingering problems, the price would be democracy. Sadly, just like in real life, certain groups of people would gladly go for it despite the cost, just as long as they don’t have to worry about it, much less actually take the time to research & think about it.
DeleteAs weird as this may sound, I think I know why some people can’t see the D’Spayres. It may be time to bring ‘Pool in- he’s actually uniquely qualified for this particular situation.
ReplyDeleteI’d definitely be down for a Deadpool appearance. He’s just not around much anymore anywhere near like he used to.
