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:
 

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.
 
Really loved how articulate his gauntlet fingers looked.

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

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!

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.
 
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.
