/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

The reason so many people want RDJ's Doom to be a Stark variant is because the alternative is that Marvel, and by extension Disney, is in desperation mode. "Iron Man did well, Iron Man was played by RDJ, we want this movie to do well, we need to throw a dump truck full of money at RDJ again."
Furthermore, RDJ, as much as I enjoy his performances, always plays the same character in any movie that isn't Oppenheimer. If this Dr Doom isn't a Stark variant, it's going to be weird at best and terrible at worst when he acts like Tony Stark.
Tropic thunder?
But that was a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude, totally different situation.
Or Chaplin?
Or, to a lesser.extent - A Scanner Darkly? And I guess Doolittle. And probably others.
Good Night and Good Luck
I thought he did great in the Sherlock movies, was hoping they'd do a 3rd one, but maybe that's just me.
Sherlock wasn't much different from Stark though. Smart sarcastic guy. That really isn't Doom.
That's true, he did great in tropic thunder though, that was way off from stark.
Still on the board as of June.
Edit: still wouldn't hold my breath, much like The Orville season 4.
Yes I've been waiting a while for it and Orville. Sucks how long its taking for Orville the most though, that show is way to good for what it's billed as.
Seth McFarlane hoodwinked Fox Entertainment quite well. Sold the first season as a sci-fi farce, but used the opportunity and funding to turn it into a workplace TNG. Still tackling hard issues of our time, while taking the piss out of its predecessors.
Bait and switch? That's great lol I'm glad it got more seasons because it's a fantastic show.
