WEEK OF DOOM!!1: DAY ONE.

[pensive1.insanejournal.com]

DOOM is in the mood to display his love of the ARTS. Here are some pages from Iron Man #249, minus the BOTHERSOME TIME TRAVEL and ARTHURIAN MEDDLING. Such nonsense is best left to fools like RICHARDS. Also: what happens when DOOM shows up at STARK MANOR.

DOOM will skip TONY STARK UNDRESSING IN FRONT OF LAB ASSISTANTS.

Doom merely engages monologues with Tony Stark, no matter how much Stark talks. Stark needs to learn to stop being so predictable.

[crinosg.insanejournal.com]

is it strange that the first thing I focus on is the fact that Tony is staying with a lady named Mrs. Fruitbagel

It's like the writers went out of their way to make up the ultimate monkier for a doddering old biddy, and this is what they got.

[xandertarbert.insanejournal.com]

They had to make at least one female employee that Tony wouldn't hit on.

[sinisterlink.insanejournal.com]

Doom seems to like her, though. "See that she's made COMFORTABLE". Also interesting to note that when he snaps his fingers it apparently makes a "PHAP" noise. Hmm...

Also, does anyone find it hilarious that Doom seemingly has castle lions? Not just normal lions, CASTLE lions. Must be a special breed. Makes me think of Metalocalypse and the yard wolves.

Tony never learns the names of maids, he just calls them by whatever he wants at the time.

Tomorrow she'll be Mrs. Hookersandblow.

Win! :)

That first page!

The orchestra is playing "Eye of the Tiger" and Doom is playing Rocky Balboa.

It didn't really displease him that much. He just picked the one he liked the least just for moments like this to illustrate how important it is to not displease Doom.

Wow. Nice hair Tony...I wonder what horrible 1980's haircut Doom had under his helm. Hockey Hair? Puffy hair like Tony? A mullet? Guess we'll never know.

[thanekos.insanejournal.com]

Grizzled Prospector's Syndrome, actually.

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

So you're saying, if Doom was able to defeat The Fantastic Four, we would have seen him do the "Happy Prospector's Dace"?

You just KNOW he was rocking a Flock of Seagulls.

I mean the hair, not an actual flock of seagulls. Hrm.

[just_mrasaki.insanejournal.com]

Okay, sorry. Maybe I've got a Dirty Old Woman's mind, but I rofl'd at the servant asking, "D-did we *gulp* p-please you, my lord?" Maybe it was just the placement of the *gulp* or something.

oh scans_daily, never change XD

[sinisterlink.insanejournal.com]

If this is going to be a week of DOOM, then I demand somebody post the story where Luke Cage tries to get his money from Doom. Unless someone's already posted it here, which I don't think they have. Heck, even if it has been posted already, post it again, because that story is always hilarious.

[icon_uk.insanejournal.com]

I love those last three panels, brilliant!

I have to say though, looking at this and the earlier post with Doom at the Opera, that I can actually see him being more along the lines of Lord Vetinari of Ankh-Morpork, who enjoys READING music rather than listening to it, as having sweaty, saliva-filled musicians intervening between the written score and his ear spoils its purity for him.

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

I bet Doom loves Bach. Less dramatic, perhaps, but full of mathematical precision.

[qob.insanejournal.com]

yea, but Doom strikes me a Wagner guy...

[pensive1.insanejournal.com]

Personally I find Doom to be a Romantic-era type. The music is bombastic and complex enough, but without being unnecessarily mathematical/heady or nonsensical (Impressionist/ 20th c)

[darklorelei.insanejournal.com]

See, in my brain, I think that Doom would just be so over all of Wagner's affectations, racism, and generally douchebaggery.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

Doom: "Wagner? Bah, yet another overrated German."

[volksjager.insanejournal.com]

Personally I support Doom distruction of a Renoir,he was a hack who got his start painting flowers on Pottery.

[sir_mikael.insanejournal.com]

Aw, no refering to Dooms self in third person?

It's like you can hear Dooms voice in the last panel, like after Tonys little rant, a pause, and then Dooms omnius matter of factly voice.

I wonder if Doom held out his arm like that during the entire performance. Talk about pressure.

[proteus_lives.insanejournal.com]

Love that Stark/painting scene...it's so Doom!

[ar_feiniel_.insanejournal.com]

Doom destroying art. That is truly evil. I'm sure he burns books too.

[(Anonymous)]

Bizzarely, there's also a story where Doom is about to destroy the Fantastic Four with a mind disintegrating piano *presumably while playing an insanely difficult piece, because, hey, he's Doom* when he notices one of his Nazi employees chasing a spy through his art galleries with a flamethrower.

He uses the piano to kill the Nazi and save his art, and then lets the Fantastic Four go because he's no longer in the mood.

Doom: A man of many sides.

Ok, Art Student here has to point out that Renoir didn't paint any ballerinas...that'd be Degas.

[lurkslikefox.insanejournal.com]

No, you see, Renoir painted loads of ballet dancers but DOOM dislikes ballet and so had then all destroyed.
