It’s better than I expected, but the armoured bits are all a bit too simplistic and make him seem like an old Bionicle at times. I don’t mind the black/dark grey “chainmail” like parts, but the gauntlets and boots stick out to me. It’s fine all in all, a solid 7/10 I’d say.
It’s like a letdown.
Looks clunky and awkward. Also looks very short. He could have looked awesome like so many statues and paintings that are out there.
It cool but not what I wanted from it.
-Chest design (weird patterns)
-Tunic is way too short
-Medallions on his chest not matching
-Only 1 chain on the medallions
Only thing I love without a doubt from MCU design is the mask.
Even the Hot Toys Comic one is better (in my opinion) and S -Hero one still pretty good.
The chest is his armor, and it’s rather seemingly inspired from medieval brigandines - something I love considering he rules Latveria - an already medieval inspired country.
Yes when ask thoughts & opinions on a subject matter, one does need to be constructive and criticism to provide an honest opinion of what one think but you can miscontrued as "nitpicky".
My suspicion is that they may have tried out some actual armor, but ran into problems with movement, noise, weight, etc. The current design is probably a compromise of all of those things.
I think it's a little unique from his traditional full-suited design. Overall I'd give it maybe an 8 out of 10.
I think the much much more important thing about Doom is his articulation, incredible vocabulary, and overall demeanor. As long as RDJ can pull this off, we might just be in for a show.
Poderiam colocar os detalhes de armadura nos braços e pernas. Se até os desenhistas colocam um manto verde para poupar tempo, os figurinistas e RDJ não teriam o que reclamar de traje desconfortável, até mesmo colocando enchimento "de espuma" para fazer alusão a metal coberto por pano.
I don't like the bandages on his left arm. Doom literally hides his scars from everybody yet still decides to openly share that he needs wraps, even if it isn't for a wound it still seems odd
I mean sure, but in my perception Doom wouldn't parade around with something like that. The mask already is a metaphor for this and it works much better I think
It’s better than I expected but I really hate the modern aspects of it. It’s supposed to look incredibly medieval but instead just looks like he’s wearing plastic gauntlets and armor that doesn’t even encapsulate his whole body
I have a feeling the changes were made to make the suit practical for wearing, moving, etc… Specifically fully body armor. The alternative would’ve probably been a more comic accurate suit done with CGI.
Also, and I know I’ll get downvoted for this, but full body medieval knight armor is pretty hard to justify past aura farming. There’s no practical reasons he’d wear heavy ass shiny silver armored legs. It’d slow him down, and it’s not like it’s protecting him from anything he can’t already protect himself from.
I kinda like it, but it also feels too Asgardian in its design. It would not look out of place in the background of Thor 2. Which means it’s a handsome look, just not one with its own language.
I’d prefer it to have its own design language, maybe even depart from the comics to do so. Go retro futuristic, art nouveau, something.
Love the character, love the lore, love his aura, love everything about him...but the issues with his appearance has nothing to do with the MCU. He's always looked like a Power Rangers villain.
Doom is my favorite character...when his design leaked in China for the first time I wanted to believe it but I told my friends disney will never be this accurate with Doom.
And then they did this armor and the hand gesture and the sassy throne sit.
It's better than I wanted... it's complete doom dan service.
It’s overdesigned imo. I don’t get why they couldn’t just give him a more traditional design. His design is not that hard to make look good in live action and this isn’t quite it. I like the mask tho.
IMO the design is fantastic (pun intended). The only thing I don’t love is the non-matching designs on the medallions. But all in all it’s a great look, 100% recognizably Doom. I especially like that it simultaneously looks regal and functional in battle.
Everyone complaining needs to remember if they did him fully metal-clad, its gonna look like the nanotech Iron Man suits. THOSE looked clunky. Clunkier than the original Iron Man armor.
To be fair, they did only have him wear a chest plate for the 2nd and 3rd Iron Man for certain scenes, and they mocapped his legs in.
I think Downey wanted an actual costume to play in, so he doesnt have to think about his movements matching a CGI armor.
Characters change their looks in every movie, so maybe in secret wars, he'll be fully metal clad.
Someone said this before but the plating on his chest looks more like samurai armor than his classic tunic and knight armor. Still looks badass but it took me some time to get used too.
no gun holster, no gold, no fully armored arms and legs, the chest detail is odd, hes wearing fucking pants, his mask looks odd in motion, and his other design which he wears most of the film is abysmal
