Join Marvel Cosplayers each Thursday as we watch them bring to life Marvel characters through craft, makeup and costumes!

I'm not into the cosplay scene much, but I thought this was impressive. How is it this guy in his garage can make a better Doctor Doom costume than 3 feature films?

Never Forget:

 

[Dai Kaiju]

That's incredible.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Fantastic.

(Winks)

 

[jmdajr]

"Cosplayer"

More like costume test. Marvel Studios got Doctor Doom back!

How I wish.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Nice!

This guy did a pretty good job nailing the ANAD look:

 

[ColdLasagna]

Doombot.

 

[SuperBanana]

Dr Doom deserves to be one of the core villains like Loki. He's too damn cool to just piss away, damn it.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I mean real talk it looks from the pages of a comic book, it'd never hold up in a live action film, but amazing effort nontheless.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Pretty good. Marvel needs the Fantastic Four back just for Doom and the cosmic stuff.

 

[doctorcdcs]

....

haha, holy shit, is that supposed to be doctor doom from new F4 movie in the second screenshot?


lol what is that!! i can't stop laughing at it


it looks like a rejected doctor who villian

I fully expect this to happen! The die has been cast. I DOOM!

 

[Busaiku]

Mr. Deodato pls.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Spoilers: Marvel recently got back the F4 rights and that's leaked concept art.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Infinity War Part 2, post-credits scene.

Believe.

I have trouble of thinking of ways that, after an Avengers x Guardians team-up, MCU could up the stakes.

This is one of them. The big one. Dayum.

Doombot.

Oh my gosh, this is it. This is how they pull the rug out from under us the third time.

In the next FF movie a perfect Doom strides out. Evil music swells.

And then it blows up, haha, Doombot, this time Doom is actually a can of peas or something.

 

[Pyramid head]

Never Forget:

I'll never understand what the art brief was for whoever designed this, unless it was: 'Design something which looks more shitty than the average human mind is capabale of processing'. In which case the dude fucking nailed it.

Tight work for fan-made

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Nice!

He's missing the scar, tho.

 

[Rymuth]

Really loved how articulate his gauntlet fingers looked.

Also, only now did I consider how uncomfortable Victor must feel underneath all that armor.

Doom has no need for the comfort of simple men.

The only comfort Doom needs... is Doom.

Don't do this to me, Poolman.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

maybe those dr doom movie costumes werent slavishly accurate to the comics....because they didnt want to be? they didnt shoot and miss compared to garage-guy, they were never aiming for the same thing. on

 

[Mudcrab]

Well clearly it worked out great for them.

 

[adj_noun]

If I was making a Fantastic Four movie I'd have Dr. Doom look like the Tin Man and Galactus would be a big cloud.

The Doom from the first film looked fine.

tom rothman, is that you?

 

[ZeroX03]

Here's the thing

Even though that cosplay is very faithful

Doom's traditional outfit will never not look silly IRL

And Marvel Studios will never be able to truly do right by Doom

 

[fallengorn]

The gorget looks a bit much, otherwise, pretty awesome.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I said god DAMN

Where is the incredible costume?

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Don't do this to me, Poolman.

 

[Sephzilla]

Nice

 

[Secret Character]

It looks rather... bulky. Also, it's a lot more gaudy than a lot of the armors Victor has had in the past.

 

[Callibretto]

I mean real talk it looks from the pages of a comic book, it'd never hold up in a live action film, but amazing effort nontheless.

Other than the chest armor looking like it's too bulky and hard to move around with, the costume looks on par with Thor movies which also has that elaborate armor with capes.

Adjust the chest piece and maybe the gauntlet and it will fit in nicely in mcu

The key is to own it. Rocket Raccoon and Groot are silly as fuck to look at. But they still not to be fuck with

We got a big purple guy with Golden costume sitting in a chair and you are telling me we wouldn't accept a faithfull Dr Doom?

 

[marrec]

100% ^

If you own it then you pull the audience in and they don't see a Shakespearean reject in big goofy armor, they see an intimidating and sinister dictator who is capable of anything.

No more half-measures Fox!

 

[Szu]

I wonder how well he holds up against this Batman cosplayer.

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Take note, Fox Studio. This is how you create Doctor Doom, not some emo douche.

I know nothing about the character, but Dooms outfit just looks like a silver Iron Man suit with a green cloak. That's probably one of the easiest looks Marvel can pull off on screen.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

It's a bit bulky (particularly in the mask), but it's still pretty badass and probably the best Dr Doom cosplay I've ever seen.

 

[fallengorn]

It's silly to think that an "accurate" Doom costume can't be actualized. Look at Thor. They did an amazing job adapting his costume.

I think a problem with Doom cosplay is they're not professional costume designers. A professional would presumably know how to keep it from being bulky, maintain the right silhouette, etc. If the MCU had they hands on Doom, I'd bet you you'd see a giant uptick in cosplay quality just because people would have a good starting off point.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Never Forget:

 

[Debirudog]

It's not exactly the ideal but that cosplay just puts Fox' Doom to utter shame.
