Here at the Visually Stunning Movie Podcast, we're fans of the MCU. We've made no secret of that.But we're able to be objective about projects as they come up. Not everything Marvel release is the best thing ever, nor is it "the end of Marvel" as some larger outlets might have you believe.This past weekend at Scan Diego Comic con, however, Marvel did something that has folks on all sides talking. It's dominated the internet since, and now, Mark and Ryan are going to tell you what they think ofRobert Downey Jr. as Doom.Is it genius? is it a gimmick? Is it desperation?
