Doom does not tolerate hunger, and frowns very severely on poor nutrition.

Continuing my read-through of the Clancy novel, there's a couple of excerpts I'd like to share:



This first one is bad history. The Germans weren't watching for Patton specifically, they were watching for the phantom army formations that the Allies had conjured up (such as the "1st United States Army Group") because of radio intercepts describing these units, and then believed that Patton would be the one leading the army because he was the general they knew most/best. The deceptive creation of the army came first, and then Patton's association with it followed, not that Patton himself was the bait.



This second one is just weird. I've never seen a take that saw the Yalta Conference being a bad thing. It's almost like in the politics of 2015 the author has revised history in his head so hard that it's bad now because it involved working with and striking a deal with Stalin. The rejection of the comparison to Roosevelt is also bizarre. Are we supposed to believe FDR is also bad now?



This last one is maybe the most improbable plot point of the book: Not-Putin knows that he's becoming unpopular even among the cabal of oligarchs that he's ingratiated himself with to run Russia, so he wants to be able to to safely store his money outside of Russia, but also out of the reach of both his domestic and foreign enemies. How do you sneak away billions so that it's "untraceable"? Why, you use your ill-gotten Russian Rubles to buy bitcoins, and then you convert the bitcoins back into US Dollars, and the money is 100% laundered and nobody can tell who did it or where the money came from!
the combination of horrible writing, bad history and even worse politics really goes a long way towards explaining why all dads love this

His face was either

1. Horribly scarred by a lab accident that may or may not have been caused by Reed Richards.
2. Or, according to Jack Kirby, only received a tiny scar on his cheek, but he's so prideful that he can't stand the minor imperfection, so he now wears a mask.
3. Or he originally had a small scar, but scrambled his face when he first put his mask on while it was still burning hot.

I prefer 2, but most go with 1 or 3.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Doctor Doom done right is an incredible villain because it's a practically Venture Bros relationship with the FF, complete with Doom being basically the godfather of one of Reed and Sue's kids.

Clip-On Fedora
Feb 20, 2011

There was an arc in the fantastic four comic where Doom was replaced with the "legitimate" heir to the Latverian throne, Prince Zorba Fortunov. Prince Zorba almost immediately went mad with power and ran the country into the ground. Everyone in Latveria celebrated when Doom retook the country, because they were genuinely happy to have him back.

Doktor Avalanche

iirc every time they show latverians there's a babushka with a head scarf and they all look like cold war eastern europe sterotypes

Ghost Leviathan
Mar 2, 2017

Exploration is ill-advised.
Latveria is extremely old world eastern europe stereotype, in some cases implied to be because Doom likes it that way, and enforces the look and theme despite the country having modern amenities and advanced infrastructure.

It's a lot funnier now given the assumption that it's obviously still a shithole next to the US, land of the free

There's at least one story where everyone thinks that and then through circumstance his mask falls off and he's ranting about ugly and disfigured from what Reed did and everyone kind of states as he looks totally normal.
