Am I crazy for this one?

I read a lot of comics, 98.9% of which are Marvel. I watch all Marvel TV and films, for the most part (rare exceptions), including the Sony stuff. To be honest with you, I am a rare exception of somebody who didn't get excited about the MCU until after Endgame. I watched it all, and in each instance there were things I did and did not like, as with all of us. However, I am very slow to call a whole film trash. Because trash films are their own genre. Like, I wish they would have made Madame Web even more ridiculous, and made even more of the dialogue sound like it was being said by Sony itself. But anyway, for those of you still reading, I think I have some gold for you. Follow me as I explain what I would do if I was in charge of the MCU right now.

Kang stole all of his technology from Doom, then engineered the sacred timeline to establish a new origin for time travel (via Tony Stark). He was under the false impression that he had eradicated Doom, and effectively remade him into the hero Iron Man. This variant of Iron Man (the one we know as dead in the MCU) was created in the image of Iron Lad (a younger Kang variant), but he was made out of Doom. Kang imposed himself on Doom's story, so that he could think of himself as greater than Doom, and so that he could preserve the memory of his uncorrupted younger self. But for all of Kang's knowledge and power, he was no sorcerer. He welcomed Loki becoming the god of stories, because the legacy of Kang is to preserve the moment Tony Stark discovers time travel and the moment Tony sacrifices himself. That is Kang defeating both Victor Von Doom as well as Iron Lad.

I have heard that Fantastic Four may start with a montage of all the villains they previously defeated in their universe. What if that was being viewed by the FF (the replacement team that includes She-Hulk and Spider-Man) in their absence, and when they return they have effectively rescued Victor Von Doom from that place. There are many places they could have been, like the negative zone or the quantum realm, but I think it should be a hell realm, so they have demons on their heals, so to speak. But they won't do that. It is more likely that the film will end with multiverse-hoping and not begin that way. I just think that Doom should be off-radar somewhere that Kang could not see, so that we have this one Doom left that Kang did not eradicate, and which will seek to reclaim what Kang took from him and essentially eradicate the council of Kangs off screen.

See, Kang always wanted a person who could wield magic to be in charge of the TVA, as he knew that there must surely be a Doom variant he didn't find, who would one day come to wipe out the legacy Kang had left in the MCU Tony Stark sacred timeline story. You have to consider how Doom and Kang differ in their ego. Doom has the same intelligence level as Reed Richards. Doom needs technology and magic to best Reed and Reed needs his team to best Doom. But having them rescue Doom is a great way to throw us off from the evil that lurks in Doom, because we could parallel that with the rise of Maker.

What we are essentially looking at is a multifaceted reworking of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde motif. They failed to bring Eddie Brock over while Hulk was Professor Hulk, so let's shut it down and make Doomsday a whole tale of many characters losing control of their beastly darker half, as a result of Doom going on a vengeful rampage across the sacred timeline, seeing the whole thing as an ultimate disrespect to his own legacy and nationalist impulses. That will set him up to be in alignment with Maker, the fully corrupted Reed Richards, and they can acquire corrupted versions of other top scientists, like Dark Beast from the Age of Apocalypse depicted in Deadpool and Wolverine.

I think by the end of Fantastic Four we should have a situation where there is a First Class X-Men team that is time displaced along with Fantastic Four and Victor Von Doom. Then the X-Men get recruited by the TVA to help fortify Loki's resistance to Doom, by scouring the multiverse for basically the Giant-Sized X-Men lineup that people are more familiar with. Eventually Doom calms down, does his whole Secret Wars thing, rules the universe for a bit, but ultimately things get reset by piecing together Battleworld, in order to align the MCU more closely with the comics, and fully integrate the Fox and Sony stuff. Sony has until then to prove that any of their villains are worth grabbing.

My big question is when and where Marvel will get the guts for the stories related to the hell realms of Marvel. I am starting to think they are keeping that all in one bucket. Like, maybe we will get Ghost Rider in a story that also includes Magik. I find it encouraging the little steps the MCU makes towards something like Strange Academy, but it's a mere consolation prize if we don't get a Midnight Suns (Sons) at the same time or if it's actually Wong Academy. The same goes for the efforts to form a Young Avengers, if it's just a consolation prize for lacking a solid senior line-up for Avengers. They might be cooking West Coast Avengers and everything else on separate burners for now, but all the cards have to be on the table by Secret Wars, at a bare minimum. Whatever we are going to make the next MCU out of, all those characters have to be on display in time to do so. The current pace is very slow for establishing new characters or reestablishing old characters. Brave New World is positioned as if it were the Civil War of this phase, but it hardly appears to be combining enough characters to get everyone hype.

I don't understand why the Thunderbolts are slated to be in Avengers Doomsday, because I think after they lose a grip of money on Brave New World, and inevitably scramble to do reshoots for Thunderbolts, the boots-on-the-ground military side of the MCU will be a lame duck. Too bad, because I still want to see Agent Venom, Deathlok, some effort to set Magneto's origin right, and the re-formation of SHIELD (among other military themes currently off-table). I am not mad at The Marvels movie when it comes to the performances of the three leads and everything related to them, but they included SWORD and didn't use the character Sage. They brought the quantum bands together after quantum mania, did not call them by their name, then brought them back apart and used the post credit to add the most vital characters. These movies are always a lot of fun, but they simply need to end better, use more real comic book characters, and have less fear at least connecting with past events, if not future ones.

How mad are you about these theories?
