I feel like Magneto is going to be an important character in Doomsday. Here’s a couple notes:

Sir Ian McKellen has not quite been tight lipped about his role in Doomsday in various interviews (which I’m sure has been a nightmare for Marvel PR), and seems to be teasing how Magneto will have some extraordinary power displays in the movie.

They also have not announced a new Magneto for the upcoming X-Men movie which is interesting. They also haven’t announced a Wolverine, to me that says they want to focus on these characters in the upcoming Avengers’ movies.

With the reference to Magneto destroying New Jersey, and in the trailer we see a destroyed city. So maybe Magneto may be using his powers to help Doom form BattleWorld.

He may have been tricked by Doom to help his future before realizing it’s too late.

Sir Ian McKellen will undoubtedly go down as one of the most important actors of all time, and with his career (seemingly) coming to end, I feel Marvel has an opportunity to give this amazing actor final big screen sendoff.

As I explained here, we didn't get press screeners from HBO like most of the other creators you watch did. So while everyone else's video production process could begin the week before the episode came out, our production process didn't begin until Sunday night, and it takes us at least 36 hours to make a video like this.

Lanterns is our favorite thing on TV right now, and we're still begging HBO to add us to the list now that the big twist of episode 1 is out there. But so far no response. You might just have to wait until Tuesdays for these videos.

How are there multiple green lanterns on earth if they are only meant to have 1 on earth at any time.
The series, peacemaker, and the superman movie seem to imply that there are two at least on earth at the same time.

It may be a stupid question but it’s not quite clicking with me.

With the new trailer out, and Dr. Doom telling all the heroes that they have lived stolen lives really makes no sense. I've watched all the breakdowns as I'm wont to do from New Rock Stars, Screen Crush, Colton Ogburn and other things that come across my algorithm. They all point to the same thing. Due to the time travel of End Game, almost everyone is living lives they should not. Thor with his child, Steve with his child, Loki should be dead. There's more to the list. You get the point.

They all point to something that these people living caused Doom to lose his family, and he now holds all these people responsible. While this makes an intriguing bridge between the past MCU and this new team up movie...it's actually an absurd thing for Doom to be upset about. Doom should not exist. He didn't exist. When Kang was running the TVA the whole point was the 616 was the only universe that existed. And it notably did not have a Fantastic Four, and it did not have a Doom.

Doom is a stolen life at the point of Dooms Day. Dooms family are stolen lives. His outlook would entail that he should be killed. His family would need to be punished. Now you can look at this and say "He's a villain!" Sure...but that doesn't seem to be the mode the MCU is going for or what they have portrayed in the past. Thanos had a goal. I am certain we'd all agree, he would sacrafice himself for that goal. He didn't care that he was about to die right before Thor cut his head off. When the past Thanos watched that from Nebula's memory....his drive was not to go back and stop his own death, it was to make sure his goal was achieved and stuck.

Now we can say that Doom's priorities are different. In the comics I think his motivation comes from thinking he is the best to run the multiverse and the only way to save it is to destroy it and put it under his control. That may be....but that's a far cry from his stated motivation in the trailer of "You lived stolen lives, and now you must pay with them" and the logic all breakdowns are taking from it that he is correcting the multiverse from the actions of the Avengers and Xmen. He's part of the correction needed, and I don't think a "rule for thee but not for me" delusion would at all fit what they are trying to achieve with the Doom character.

I think this might be a massive misdirect from Marvel as they often do. Erik Voss from New Rock Stars has kicked around the idea, that to be honest I kind of dismissed that the universe had to self correct after the reverse dusting. That the universe randomly chose people across a multiverse to dust to correct it. Doom's family was one of those. If this was the case, then when Doom says that line "You are all living stolen lives" he's not referring to the Avengers. He's actually talking about ANYONE that survived the dusting or came back from the Hulk's snap. There were also thousands of Thano's troops that came from the past that later got dusted that adds to this calculus.

This would fit MUCH better with Doom's character. "If my family can be wiped out by anyone in the multiverse, then no one deserves to live. There is chaos when there is no control, and I'm the best qualified to control it."

This does lead to the question of the 'magic system' in the MCU. There is the multiverse, and timelines. In the TVA it's all one. But how would snaps when there is no multiverse affect multiverses that aren't allowed to exist yet. Again, looking at the TVA outside of time, this can get explained, but it's a snag.

The other thing kind of unrelated. But I think there might have been something else going on with Steve Rogers. He's never been selfish. He's never not completed a mission. And we all just accepted that he did both. We cheered it on. But it actually demolishes his character. I would love to see something that shows why that happened.

I'm sure I'm missing some things, but it's bothered me so here it is.

I saw on their YouTube account they were going to post today so I’m just wondering when

This contains potential spoilers so please proceed with caution.

I just saw this post within the past hour that seems to be legitimate. https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/1vrtvgb/new_look_at_iron_studios_doctor_doom_figure_for/

If you look at images 3 & 4 the device he's holding could be the "Ultimate Nullifier".

Then i went back to the trailer and noticed that Reed is holding this same device in his hand when saying "ANSWER ME VIKTOR, DID YOU DO THIS?!" around 1:11-1:12. It's a quick glimpse and not fully visible, but need a second opinion.

Wondering how this, if true, impacts the story of having a device this dangerous in the hands of Doom. Obviously, him holding the book as well is interesting here too. Wonder if that was scrubbed from the special look trailer at the beginning when he's shown sitting in his chair.

?

They slay. Was also fun when Berg’s daughter guest starred! Seems like they have a really tight bond.

Title. Just like with He Who Remains, we will meet our Loki presumably after eons of holding the time throne. At some point Loki realized the current structure he’s maintaining still suppresses or erases large-scale mutant existence across most of time.

He engineers one specific confrontation with Doom (who is the only other being strong enough to allow mutants) knowing Doom will seize the position. I believe this was our Loki’s only option just like with He Who Remains. Loki steps aside or lets himself be overwritten so a new order can form; one that includes mutants as a permanent feature.

That’s my theory, I’ll be back in four months.

Do you guys think Anchor Beings will be a major part of Doomsday?

I find it kind of weird that Deadpool and Wolverine set them up as this big thing, yet we really haven't gotten anything else in regards to Anchor Beings. Kinda makes me wonder if the MCU ever actually planned anything for them.

While rewatching the second trailer, I thought about Doom saying "You have all lived stolen lives" and I think I might have an interesting theory.

I think Doom is envious of the lives that the others have lived. A sense of jealousy, anger, and longing. We know that Doom had a wife and child only to lose them.

When he mentions them living "Stolen Lives", we see Johnny and Franklin, Charles, Magento, Steve and his son, Thor and his daughter, Loki, Shuri, and Cyclops. What if the "Stolen lives" line is referring to them living lives they're not supposed to.

In Loki season 1, Renslayer says that Loki wasn't supposed to escape the way he did in "Endgame".

Maybe Steve wasn't supposed to stay in the past with Peggy.

Or that Shuri wasn't supposed to become the Black Panther, because they had to change the the second movie due to Chadwick Boseman's passing.

Maybr Thor wasn't supposed to have a daughter.

In "Fantastic Four First Steps" Sue died after beating Galactus, only to be brought back by Franklin.

The X-Men might be harder since the Fox universe is already messy in it's timelines. But maybe "Days of Future Past" wasn't supposed to happen. Maybe they weren't meant to change the timeline.

What I'm saying is that all the characters shown during the "Stolen Lives" moment had their fates changed. Maybe Doom comes to this realization, thinking to himself "Why? Why do they get their happy endings, when mine was taken away? Why do they get second chances?"

So maybe in his mind, he's trying to set things right.

I would like to hear your thoughts on this theory in a future video.
