Sean’s review of Doctor Strange & Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment > Likes and Comments

Holy shit dude, this is some of the best writing I've ever...read. I would watch the shit out of this. Plus there were enough LOL moments and tear-jerking potential that even my flea-sized attention span was rapt. Damn, wish I knew DeConnick well enough so she could get this spec script into Hollywood hands.

I'm not sure Hollywood is quite ready for all of this awesomeness, Mike.

(And your praise, if sincere, is much appreciated; if sarcastic, equally appreciated. Because Shallow Comic Readers 4-ever.)

Gibsy you really are a genius.

It's all thanks to my muse.

Scotch, I mean.

*lol* excellent..truly excellent. Great book as well..one of my favorites.

Sean wrote: "It's all thanks to my muse.

Yes, I've found that scotch is a very VERY good muse indeed.

NICE!

Thanks, Sud and Anne!

(Jess--I meant scotch tape.

I'm kidding. I meant alcohol. Licking scotch tape doesn't do anything for me.)

I have never in my life wanted to be able to give a review on Goodreads five stars as much as I do right now! (Although Anne's hilarious review for "Love You Forever" comes pretty gosh darn close!) Bravo, Sean! XD

Sean my chap, you really are a mad genius. Nevedr would i have dreampt of being able to create such a cringey, chuckle filled sitcom script out of a review. My humble regards to you, best of luck in later instalments of this great sketch.

*Que crowd applause*

Now take a bow, my dear chap.

Thanks, David! It's an honor to even be mentioned in the same breath as Anne (but don't tell her I said that--her head is already big enough...so are her feet, incidentally).

er... I'm not sure about what I've read but... I think it's good. I mean I kept reading it and hoping it won't stop.
I hope you will at leat as for timbits when the Networks come to see you.
Anyway, I suppose that means you loved the book?

Haha! Thanks, Food. :)

Emmanuelle--I'll not only ask for coffee, but I'll tell 'em to throw in some coffee, too. I'm totally worth it.

Doughnuts! Don't forget doughnuts! you're absolutely worth that much.

Love how Doom begins or ends nearly every sentence with Bah!
Also, you need to record that title jingle to synthesizer music right away.

Best thing I've read all week. Now I just need to know if I should be humming the opening song to the tune of the jazzy new Odd Couple theme, or the more laid back older version?

Robert--if I had a musical bone in my body, I would be synthesizing like Rush circa Grace Under Pressure.

Jennifer--it's only Wednesday, so plenty of time yet this week to read far better drivel. ;)

BWAHAHAHAHA. This. Perfection! I'd watch the hell out of this!

And maybe I should read this comic too.

Good one, Sean! Idea for Act Two:

Sue’s coming over for an apology dinner arranged by Strange but Doom’s turned their oven into a renewable energy reactor so they don’t have to pay electricity or gas anymore. Surprise – Doom has had Muffin all along! He wants to see how hot his device gets and has put Muffin in as his canary in the coal mine. Strange is horrified, steps him to save Muffin, and accidentally flips a switch that roasts the poor dog!

Sue walks into the kitchen – “Mmm, roast – my favourite! Here, let me help,” – takes out roasted Muffin, who looks indistinguishable thanks to the massive amount of energy that’s cooked him, and Sue plucks a strip off of him. “Sorry, you don’t mind? I’m STARVING and it looks so good! Mmm – tastes even better! Kinda like… veal? Come on, grab some plates and cutlery and let’s dig in!”

At the table, Doom and Strange watch, not eating, Doom looks curious and slightly amused but Strange is barely concealing his horror as Sue devours her dog, all the while talking hopefully about how she just knows she’ll find Muffin soon – she senses he’s near! Camera pans down to a blackened dog collar with “Muffin” on it rests at the bottom of the baking tray.

BWAHAHAHAHA. And I though *I* had a twisted mind! Sam beats me. But that might only be because I despise animal cruelty, even if we're talking about a purse accessory like a Shih Tzu.

Thanks, Trish! :)

Sam--you, my friend, are one sick...wait for it...puppy. I'll confer with Jeph Loeb and Jed Whedon on whether we can use all of those ideas for Act Two. I think the suits at ABC may frown upon the dog eating, but, hey--you never know. (Also, that was genius.)

Silly, everybody knows that you have to go to HBO these days! Just look at the Bilquis scene in American Gods!

Yeah, but the House of Mouse owns ABC, so you gotta keep it there...

Frankly, I'm surprised they haven't backed the Brink's truck up to my door yet. I'm waiting, high-level executives.

Bwahahahaha. You'd be our hero, Sean. Never forget that.

Trish wrote: "Bwahahahaha. You'd be our hero, Sean. Never forget that."

I'm a man of the people, Trish. Or, a people of the Man. I'm not sure which...

But Fox owns Doom (for now).

If Spider-man makes Sony $$$, we might see the FF & Doom in a Marvel movie, dontcha think?

Anne wrote: "If Spider-man makes Sony $$$, we might see the FF & Doom in a Marvel movie, dontcha think?"

You would think so...but then does Chris Evans pull a Parent Trap and play both roles?!

Mebbe. Mebbe Marvel wait a few more years for Fox to decide if they want to lose another $100mil on yet another bad reboot or give the rights back? At any rate I think Marvel only wanted Silver Surfer and Galactus back and wasn't concerned with the FF (which I'm fine with - the FF are so bad!).

Sam wrote: "But Fox owns Doom (for now)."

WTF?! Seriously?!

FF was really bad. The first movie was only redeemed by how abysmally bad the second one was. And apart from Garfield or now the kid, Spiderman wasn't better. In fact, those movies made me hesitate A LOT before I gave Iron man a chance (I had no idea about the rights issue and how well Marvel would do back then)!

I thought the Sam Raimi Spidey movies were quality; Spider-Man 2 remains one of my favorite comic movies...

I agree. Spiderman 2 is near perfect.

Meh. Maybe it's because of Toby McGuire. Or because of Kirsten Dunst. But they weren't really for me.

They're not my favorites either, but remember that first Spidey movie kickstarted this whole movement, right? And I think 2 holds up really well. It's just a really well structured story.

Well, for kicking it off, it gets credit but other than that ... I mean, on top of McGuire and Dunst, it also had James Franco in it! Yuck!

I just saw the movie and I was slightly disappointed but Marvel sets up future movies for success. I have faith.

The Doctor Strange movie? Yeah, that was solid. I mean, not as good as my proposed sitcom, but what is?

I've decided that I will respond to all of my asshole customers with "One day I will laugh over your broken corpse" and see how long it takes me to get fired or shot.

I'd say to let me know how long it takes, but I suspect your extended absence from GR would be the answer to that question...

At least I would die laughing

Hey, if you gotta go...

Been sitting in my MU account for a month.

As for the movie talk . . . Marvel is entering Phase 4 after the infinity movies . . . Seems like Phase 4 F4 would be a pretty dynamic way to go.

You should definitely give it a read, Erik.

THAT! <--YES!

Followed by the Cap/Human Torch team-up "Handsome & Handsomer"

*died from laughing too hard*

STRANGE: Toilets?
DOOM: Doombowls.
STRANGE: Chicken fingers?
DOOM: Doomnuggets.
STRANGE: Vibrators?
DOOM: We do not have such things in Latveria. Von Dooms properly satisfy their lovers.

*snorts and chokes on water at desk at work*

I'm loving this whole review Sean. CAN YOU WRITE MORE!?

*nods vehemently* That's what I was wondering too.
