We know that Doom is already controlling 3 witches and that other guy, possibly Wanda, Clea, Sylvie and Strange. RDJ's Doom might just be his general, who he's primarily using for his face and the effect of that on the Avengers. I think RDJ's Doom will somehow fall by the end of Doomsday and Cillian will have an Avengers 1 Thanos post-credits type scene at the end and he'll take over for Secret Wars and post-reboot. Paying RDJ a 100 mil does make sense cause his name alone will pull people in even if they aren't fond of Marvel post-Endgame and also he'd serve as the primary villain for the whole movie and might appear in some capacity in Secret Wars. Also, if it's only such a minor scene with Cillian in this movie, it would make sense for it not being leaked or smth. Also, in the second trailer, it looked like Doom was time-slipping/dream-walking while falling out the window, so, makes sense for another Doom to be controlling RDJ's Doom

Opinions on the theory that Hightowers and Daynes come from the Great Empire of Dawn predating both Valyrians and the First Men?

The Fused Black Stone Architecture

Battle Isle (Hightower Base): The foundation of the Hightower isn't built of regular stone or Valyrian masonry. It’s a massive, labyrinthine fortress made of a single piece of seamless, fused black stone. Maester Theron explicitly notes in World of Ice & Fire that it pre-dates the First Men and lacks any Valyrian decorative markings.

The "Dragon Under Battle Isle" Theory: A popular side-theory suggests the founders of House Hightower did bring something dragon-related to Oldtown. Some fans theorize that the seamless, fused black stone base of the Hightower was built using dragonfire, or that an ancient dragon/sea-dragon slumbers in the caverns underneath Battle Isle.

The Five Forts of Essos: Thousands of miles east, guarding the borders of the ancient Great Empire of the Dawn (GEOTD), sit the Five Forts—massive walls built entirely out of the exact same fused, seamless black stone. The implication is that whoever built the Five Forts to fight the Long Night in Essos also built the foundation on Battle Isle.

Valyrian Features Before Valyria Existed

The Dayne Features: Ashara Dayne and Edric Dayne have striking violet/purple eyes and pale hair. Darkstar has silver hair with a black streak. Yet House Dayne is officially a "First Men" house that claims a 10,000-year-old ancestry, thousands of years before the Valyrian Freehold ever rose.

The Amethyst Empress Connection: The GEOTD was ruled by Gemstone Emperors. In A Game of Thrones, Daenerys has a vision of her ancient ancestors: tall kings with eyes of opal, amethyst, garnet, and onyx. The theory connects the "Amethyst Empress" (who was murdered during the Blood Betrayal) to the violet-eyed trait carried by GEOTD survivors who eventually settled in Dorne.

Starfall, Dawn, and the Meteorite

Worshipping the Fallen Star: GEOTD legend states the tyrannical Bloodstone Emperor turned away from the true gods to worship a black stone that fell from the sky, triggering the Long Night.

The Mirror Opposite: House Dayne’s foundation myth is the exact mirror image: they built their castle (Starfall) where a magical star fell to earth. Instead of dark magic, they used the metal of that fallen star to forge Dawn.

Lightbringer Traits: Dawn isn't Valyrian steel—it's milk-white, glows like pale glass, and is insanely sharp. Dany's vision explicitly mentions the ancient GEOTD kings holding "swords of pale fire," matching Dawn rather than dark Valyrian steel.

Ancient Dragonlords Fleeing West

Septon Barth’s Dragon Theories: In the lore, Septon Barth and ancient tales suggest dragons were not originally native to Valyria, but were brought there by an ancient, unnamed people from the Shadow Lands who taught the Valyrians how to tame them. GEOTD survivors fleeing the Empire's collapse fit the timeline perfectly as the original dragon-masters who scattered across the world.

two Dooms?

Why do people act as if Viserys and Daemon are modern women's rights warriors as if they wouldn't have gone to war if Jaehaeys names Rhaenys his heir?

Hightowers and Daynes ancestry

Rhaenyra says, "I must light the way" during her coronation? Wtaf🤣🤣🤣
