>"A human should not be able to defeat White Martians with prep-time! DC is so garbage and unrealistifc!" >"YOOOOO, Dr. Doom can defeat a whole civilization of omnipotent beings using prep-time! This is so awesome and relatable! Make Mine Marvel!"
Other than pure brand loyalty, what can explain such phenomenon?
maybe because batman is just rich and dr doom have powers?
Brody Johnson
They weren’t omnipotent. Doom himself pointed out they couldn’t time travel. How exactly they beat Abstracts with time powers, I’m not sure, but whatever, Hickman is a hack
Isaac Bailey
Doom is based.
Batman is a cuck.
Dylan Walker
Powers that he simply "trained" to have.

Do people really do this
Lincoln James

Owen Jackson
Doom is supposed to be the smartest person in his universe. Batsoupman is just a hardcore furry that fights a clown
Isaac Lopez

I have nothing common with captain America or the X-men or whatever but I like reading those comic books. >but the superheroes argue with each other like real people! That’s just pointless bickering, just figure out how to fix the problem and do the shit and get out

Which of the two characters started studying and travelling the world to be one of the best since he was 8?
Matthew Fisher
People complain about Batman being able to defeat aliens and metas because they fear that he might end up outshining Superman. It's mostly Superman fans that want Batman to remain in his Gotham ghetto. They're super insecure.
Jayden Young
>relatable Kek no.
Zachary Collins
And those Superman fans are also Dr. Doom cocusuckers, and that's why Doom is praised for being a hundred thousand times more forced than Batman?
I really doubt that.
John Morgan
Fuck Batman and fuck DC!
Angel Morales
It's not about acceptability. Doom's character is that he's an absolute super-genius. Batman's just clever.
Kayden Ortiz
>Marvel characters are the most relatable of all time. Because they are. Sorry DC only has one dimensional boring shit characters.
Michael Baker
What makes Doom a "super-genius" and what makes Batman "merely clever"?
What makes Doom defeating omnipotent beings with prep-time "good writing" and Batman defeating one white martian with prep-time "BatWank"?
Ayden Miller
Based. Marvel is Reddit so.y tier.
Carter Johnson
There's no need to conflate the two. Dr. Doom cocksuckers are MARVEL fans. They don't care about Superman. So that's why they see no problem with Dr. Doom kicking gods' asses.
The people that constantly complain about Batwank or the fact that he's a JL member, or that he's shown defeating alien, and so on and so forth are DC fans, and big Superman fans, that feel that Batman's constantly stealing the spotlight that should rightfully belong to only Superman.
Jason Lewis
>The people that constantly complain about Batwank or the fact that he's a JL member, or that he's shown defeating alien, and so on and so forth are DC fans, and big Superman fans, that feel that Batman's constantly stealing the spotlight that should rightfully belong to only Superman. Do you have any evidence of that?
I only ever see Marvelfags complaining about Batman being "too much", all the while they praise character like Valeria Richards, a toddler, doing way more absurd things.
Easton Ramirez
T. Has never read a single dc comic book
Austin Cook
Have you seriously never seen Superman fans complaining about DC always giving Batman the attention that should have been rightfully given Superman? Superman fans are the most insecure and annoying bitches there are. They constantly complain about the character not being as popular as they think he should, giving a bunch of stupid reason for it like legit saying the reason Superman isn't selling is because the world has gone to shit and everyone's too cynical. As if everybody should be forced to like their favorite hero just because.
Easton Flores
dr doom is smart, batman is just a rich asshole
and i'm saying this as a dc fag
Oliver Phillips
>Have you seriously never seen Superman fans complaining about DC always giving Batman the attention that should have been rightfully given Superman? I have never seen Superman fans complaining about Batwank, no. 100% of the time, it's always Marvel fanatics. At most, a Marvelfag that pretends to be a DCfag, like 25 before Dr. Doom was created, Batman was already smart. What makes Dr. Doom's smartness more acceptable? What makes Batman's smartness unnaceptable?
Why Dr. Doom defeating an army of omnipotents is good writing, while Batman defeating white martians is Batwank?
Robert Smith
>I have never seen Superman fans complaining about Batwank, no. Then you're fucking blind.
Sebastian Flores
Or maybe you're making shit up.
All the people hat hate Batwank also hate Superman. Ultimately, what they hate is DC.
Why do you think that Yas Forums complains about Batman defeating White Martians, but praises Dr. Doom being immortal because "his willpower is too big for him to die"? It's brand loyalty.
>Literally 10 anti-Batman threads per day "BASED Yas Forums. Such an awesome board!" >One anti-Doomwank thread once in a blue moon "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP TOMMEH!"
Dominic Gonzalez
The best period to mess with the Superman fans was back during the New 52, when Superman and Wonder Woman were a couple - lots of the really obnoxious Superman fans are SMWW shippers. Every time they'd say that Superman and Wonder Woman belong together because they're equals due to being the most powerful DC characters, i'd then conclude that if this means that Wonder Woman can kick Superman's ass. The ensue shitstorm would be hilarious as they'd make a complete 180 to whine about how Wonder Woman never in a billion years be able to even touch Superman.
William Anderson
Writers making batman an invicible omnipotent deity made him boring and annoying, that's the truth. You don't have to be a marvelfag to know that
Tyler Peterson
>Writers making batman an invicible omnipotent deity made him boring and annoying Which has never happened.
Has Batman ever defeated an army of omnipotent beings using prep-time? If he did something as ridiculous, do you think DCfags would call it "good writing"?
Why Marvel characters defeating armies of omnipotent beings using prep-time is "good writing", bu Batman defeating white martians using prep-time is "too much"? I have never found a single Marvel fan able to answer this.
Charles Bailey
To be fair, before Doomwank and Doomfags, the idea of Doom being one of the most dangerous people on earth was cool. He was a twisted version of the human dream, to be more than your limits. He proved to the universe that a mere man could master forces beyond our scope, yet had a twisted sense of morality to fit his ego. Doom only sucks when you make him a hero or make him right all the time, otherwise he’s a funhouse mirror version of man’s potential.
Jacob Gutierrez
>To be fair, before Doomwank and Doomfags When the fuck was that? Doomwank is older than me, and Doomfags have been around ever since I started reading comics.
What makes Doom defeating an army of omnipotent beings using "prep-time" good writing? What makes Batman defeating white martians using prep-time "too much"?
Sebastian Young
Doom has powered armour that would give Irno man a run for his money, is on the level of intellect as Mr Fantastic, and is as powerful a saucerer as Dr. Strange, he's probably the biggest Gary Stu in the history of comics
Leo Parker
>Doom >Magic, candidate for sorcerer supreme, pure hearted and guardian of mankind >Batman >not magic, terminal case of wanking Also villains are more fun than heroes
Adrian Jenkins
It's kinda funny to think that DC being fictional in Marvel, Doom probably grew up being a BatFag and loved all the edgy BatWank.
Hudson Hernandez
So we all agree Doom could easily trounce Superman right, hes a master sorcerer and Superman couldn't even touch him due to his diplomatic immunity
Dylan Reyes
>Tommy is still seething even after the Doom ongoing gave him an origin story
>Superman couldn't even touch him due to his diplomatic immunity Superman doesn't care about this. Dude as throwing punches at Lex when Lex was POTUS, it won't be a shitty-ass dictator from a country smaller than Maine that will intimidate him.
James Parker
Outside of that Dr.Strange mini when has he ever use magic?
Jason Cruz
Shit like this makes me believe in Morrison's Chaos Magick.
Thomas Carter
Doom's best story doesn't even touch Batman's so-so stories.
Blake Hughes
>I care about letting mankind lead themselves >except when I don't and directly involve myself in government affairs Why doesn't Superman just put the world in a bottle
Gabriel Brooks
One is a detective who fights muggers and mental patients wearing anthro battle armor that isn't even bulletproof all over.
The other is an inventor and a sorceror wearing battle armor of his own bullshit sci-fi wizard design.
No one particularly cares if bats hops out in the hellbat and beats the shit out of a white Martian, but it begs the question "what the fuck is he even doing on a regular night and why"
Like if Tony Stark put away the armor to be Daredevil for a while. Fucking why, numbnuts?
But that's the rules of Batman as a franchise. These artificial "regular man" rules that say that this genius ninja billionaire detective has to win with just planning, when planning and fisticuffs just isn't sufficient to take out a telepathic, shapeshifting, phasing, invulnerable and superstrong foe. But he does anyways, which is dumb, instead of using the rules of the actual universe he lives in, going to the basement and zapping that white Martian with a mother box.
If we're comparing them, Doom is like if Batman put a mother box into his hellbat and then never took it off again. No one would be particularly surprised if MOBOHellBat dropped a Martian, or a whole shitload of martians, or honestly even a New God or three. Although we probably would get the interminable "Darkseid is bigger than all dimensions and can't ever lose" argument a lot.
Parker Scott
It's a reference to an old crossover.
Daniel Hernandez
Yas Forums doesn't read comics Yas Forums doesnt play video games Yas Forums only watches seasonal moe shit
Dylan Taylor
Fairly simple really. Batman's premise is he often, even if not always, fights street level evils. Mobsters, ninjas, sometimes robots and the supernatural but not often enough it's his bread and butter in Gotham.
Doom meanwhile is the antagonist of many an abnormal figure, or his own threats are the like of dimensional demons, extraterrestrials and abstract entities. He is by default not grounded in the day to day of Latveria.
That sort of thing shapes the expectations of a character. If you ignore context and try to draw what few similarities between the two you can to contrive an argument, yes it will seem at odds, but if you were to simply swap the two characters in their settings you'd immediately see how and why one works as they do where they do and not otherwise. A wealthy, gothic dictator Bruce, no matter how skilled, without significant sorcery and super science, and not just gadgets, the odd power armor and some tricks Zatanna taught him would not be able to seriously challenge the FF, X-Men and Avengers much.
Vice versa were Doom in Gotham why he'd be so hassled by the operations of mafioso while he's blasting lasers and constructing force fields would raise eyebrows.
Certain character have to remain relatively grounded so certain challengers fit them, and others have to be elevated so they're a fitting challenge to other characters.

Lincoln Parker
Batman was already defeating vampires and aliens before Doom was an idea in Stan Lee's coked up mind.
Also, isn't Marvel supposed to be the one that is "grounded and realistic"? Why Marvel fans consider Doom becoming immortal because "he has too much willpower to die" realistic?
If Batman was immortal due to "muh willpower", would Yas Forums praise it?
Liam Smith

Cameron Wilson
>He survived the Omega Effect He didn't, he was transported to the past to build up energy with each time jump in order to explode the universe once he reached modern times.
And that would alive happened if Tim Drake didn't stop it.
If Batman became immortal due to having "too much willpower", like Dr. Doom, would Yas Forums praise it?
Levi Bennett
The difference is that Batman always wins in the end, and Doom always loses.
How are you this dumb?
Hudson Mitchell
>and Doom always loses. And all his defeats are immediately retconned.
"FOOL, IT WASN'T ME, IT WAS JUST A ROBOT THAT LOOKED LIKE ME!!1!"
Is this what makes Dr. Doom defeating an army of omnipotent beings such good writing?
Isaac Jenkins
stop making this thread tommy you loser the “make mine marvel” gives you away literally every time
Every Batfag claims that he's a good character because he's an underdog so writers have to bend over backwards to try and make him appear weak while still being able to defeat gods. The appeal/glory of Doom is that he's a man who came from nothing but aspired to kill gods. At the heart of it, one of these character is better sorted for stories that are more grounded and the other character works better in fantastical stories. Because of this it makes more sense when one of these characters can accomplish fantastical things.
Asher Murphy
>At the heart of it, one of these character is better sorted for stories that are more grounded and the other character works better in fantastical stories.

Isn't supposed to be the fantastic one, while Marvel is "the world outside your window", grounded and realistic and shit?
Christopher Ward
He didn’t survive it, Darkseid specifically manipulated his Omega Beams to not erase him but make him a chronal energy bomb
