Take a look at this article. It makes the blood of Victor Von Doom boil with the heat of a thousand scalding hot iron masks. And not just because the writer uses the false word "casted" in the opening paragraph.
No, I am furious at the comments made by actor Toby Kebbell, who has the honor of portraying the ruler of Latveria on the big screen in the aforementioned Fantastic Four movie. Aside from the fact that this movie fails at the most basic level--its title, which should actually be Dr. Doom Decimates the Futile Fantastic Four Once and For All--my greatest grievance with the picture stems from Kebbell's description of his character.
Here's a snippet:
He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m “Doom”.
Now, some of you might assume that I'm taking issue with this film changing my name to Domashev, but that is neither here nor there to one as evolved and superior as I. Victor Von Doom does not trouble himself with such trivial matters. No, I take issue with that character description. An anti-social programmer? Who rants on blogs? Who do these idiots take me for? How could these writers, when researching the vast and storied history of the legendary Victor Von Doom, ever come up with the absurd idea that I would waste my precious time writing blogs when I could be plotting world domination or thinking of new ways to slay the incessant pests that are the Fantastic Four?
Julian McMahon was bad enough. Now I have to deal with this?
This affront to my character is what has led me to start this blog. I will be following this production closely from here on in, so you, loyal Latverians and other Doom faithful, should stay tuned. Feel free to sound off about this travesty, and together, we may be able to stop this hideous abomination from ever seeing the light of day.
LONG LIVE VICTOR VON DOOM!
