Man, this thing just went from bad to INTENSELY FUNNY.
The dialogue about the war, and no Latverians dying, and Doom single-handedly defeating his "master" and saving the world (and then super duper saving the world) is pure Doom fantasy, alright.
But on the other hand, would Doom's fantasy really involve him venerating the memory of Reed Richards and wondering if Reed would approve of him?
It seems to me that this is actually Doom's personal hell. In this world he will live in Reed's shadow forever... even inheriting Reed's old family and other hand-me-downs... and worst of all, he'll have to love the man for it, and concede that Reed was right all along.
