It was the best Eternity was gonna look. At least we got it.

He actually had a face, lines, and a body unlike Rise of the Silver Surfer Galactus and Smallville Darkseid(before possessing Luthor) even though he looks like another smoke-entity.

Its his dimension and he can take the form of whatever he pleases so of course he's going to take the form of a giant head. Having arms and legs isn't necessary when you can blast a giant death ray out of your mouth.

It actually looks okay.

For shit see Parallax, Doomsday, Ultron with lips, Galactus, etc.

He's basically a dimensional god in the dark dimension, why the fuck would he have a body. They even made him look like Dormammu, and he'll probably look even more like the character if they do a story with him coming to earth.

too human and he ends up being unimposing, not human enough and he becomes a force of nature, or a Galactus cloud and cant be Nearly as threatening. this is basically the best idea of "god of the dark dimension" as you can get without giving him devil horns or a giant flaming skull and making it all tacky

I don't think I have heard of a single normie complain about it. It's literally people just straining to make comparisons to Galacloud.

For one, he actually has a face. Secondly, he actually talks. Dormammu in Doctor Strange is a fully fledged entity and character. He's not some ambiguous danger. Not only that but lacking a cartoonishly flaming head, his face actually looks somewhat close to the shadows that actually make up his face in recent comics.

He's also a dark god, they were probably going for an old god kinds vibe where forms are meaningless blobs with only a semblance of shape. And judging from the plane of existance he's from, his form reflects it.

He did have a body, the third time he killed Strange he smashed his fist down upon him.

OP, I'M COME TO BARGAIN

>He did have a body,

then what we complaining bout here? you didn't like him being big?

I think people are pissy he wasnt some dude in black armor running around with his head on fire.

Dormammu would've looked fucking silly if it was him with his Ghost Rider, Scorpion ass head.

Hate it all you want, but the fact that Strange defeats him by outsmarting him instead of having the 10 fucktillionth giant, city destroying battle in the MCU is enough to gloss over however Dormammu looked. Shit was great.

I didn't think the arm was connected to him, just some sort of manifestation or whatever

He had shoulders visible during the whole climax, he had a body. He was just too big for it to be properly visible.

well yeah. the black armor I don't care about, but the flaming jack-o-lantern head is literally Dormammu

It's ultron's face all over again. why do the movies redesign things that don't need to be redesigned?

>It's ultron's face all over again
No, that was shit and bad. This is new, different, and actually good. I'm not even one of those "duh guys he'll make a smaller for with a flaming head in the next movie" People. Not all change is bad. This, and the whole dark dimension was visually stunning. Id didn't need to be redesigned, but it also didn't need to stay the same

I wasn't a big fan of the change. The pupils, weird Thanos looking face, and the stars on his body that made him resemble Eternity wasn't my bag.

lel yes

Daily reminder that marvel movies doesn't care about villains.

This policy gets them to waste good actors like Weaving and/or Mikkelsen, etc, into doing mediocre shit.

How about you fuck off Sup Forums fag and stop making these threads? The majority of Sup Forums already stated it was fine with this take. Sorry his head was fucking orange

Ultron looked fine. The problem was Wheadon didnt give him much to do. His appearance, origin, and character was fine.

It's ok when Marvel does it.

I think they were going for a celestials-like look for Dormmy, so that he can show up during the Thanos movies as a Galactus stand-in.

The way they presented Strange and Dormmamu makes me believe that while yes they want Cucumber to replace RDJ's character type, he's gonna be the MCU's version of Reed Richards, and him and Wong+other sorcerers are gonna go on F4-like adventures showing mystical threats and civilizations instead of cosmic ones.

This movie was basically the MCU version of Rise of the Silver Surfer if it was the team's origin movie.

I bet some normies thought he was Thanos.

It was a clever mechanic that was set up prior throughout the movie and demonstrated our protagonist's newfound resolve as character growth from the beginning of the movie.

EZ

So what do I win now?

audiences are dumb, they might mistake dormamu for ghostrider if we use the flaming head guy

the same reason why dc doesnt allow batman to be touched by the tv shows

As it is his dimension it shows that at some stage of his existence Dormammu had a small dick because now he's over compensating like an mother fucker.

Defend this

It was great.

It's okay when Marvel does it

that's all there is

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME

it was actually pretty rad, he's always had the facial striping and the glow gas sort of look since the kirby days

I'll take this over rise of the silver surfer galactus any day

Opinions exist.
Wow, that was easy.

At least he wasn't poo.

Sometimes totally on-model is a bad thing.

Yeah, cause a flaming head would look SO terrible.

It's okay when an otherwise decent movie does. People don't let fantastic four 2 or Green Lantern off the hook because they sucked AND took a dump on character designs.

When a movie like doctor strange does it, I roll with it, because im actually ENJOYING myself

your pic isnt helping your case

Sorry you have shit taste, user.

...

>liking agents of shit
>im the one with the bad taste

Skulls dont look like that, user

People whining about the lines show they don't know classic Dormammu.

Lines on the face was his thing.

Who said I liked anything other than his appearance? The writing on the show is shit.

The lines are fine but I just wanted to see his head ignite at some point. Hell, even if it was just godzilla atomic breath style when he shot the mouth laser it would be fine.

the jacket is spot on but Robbie's "skull" isnt a skull, its a helmet. But AOS just makes it a skull cause its easier for them. It's not spot onj at all. And skulls dont fucking look like that. Look at the fucking jaw. it looks awful

Dormammu

way to pick the most easily defensible part of the movie, faggot op

did you miss the part where HE DROPPED HIS GIANT FUCKING ARM ON STRANGE?

IT WAS THE ELBOW DROP THAT PUT CENA TO SHAME

Looks fine to me.

Can anyone explain please what exactly Strange said when he explained to Dormanmu his timeloop? My fucking cinema had a weird problem where the dialogues suddenly were cut off while the background music and noises were still going

First one to talk gets to stay on my astral plane

If I take that floating head off, will you die?

Dormamu, you're a big guy

I've come here to bargain!

No! *Kill*

I've come here to bargain!

Repeat for 10 minutes.

...the colors are pretty.

Don't need to bub. It's all good.

I hope they bring in Shuma-Gorath for the next movie. Dormammu was awesome.

Okay. Because Yankee audiences are so easily triggered, much like the Chinese - they had to change his design because he was basically Satan. The Devil.

So they adapted his design somewhat to reflect the deisgn of the film. Still having the lines across his face, the glowing outlines around his head...He's not far afield from how Dormammu has always looked.

Beyond that, in a dimension where time doesn't exist - what are the odds that Dormammu would actually BE a humanoid form? Is it not more likely he adopted this form to reflect Stephen's? That a giant human-like face would be more likely to resonate with power than some incorporeal voice or alien creature?

The defence rests.

So...prosecute this - and try not to trivialise with not muh Dormammu, or compare it to Galactus/Paralax if you can.

It's another "Sup Forums has to explain to comicfags why their pages can't be translated to a 3D live action scene" episode. Partly because turning a 2D artistic render into a 3D photorealistic scene is impossible. Partly because when it looks terrible if you even try.

With that being said, turning Dormamu into a discount devil and his dimension into a discount hell would have felt out of place to the abstract them of the show, and would have been the only effect in this movie that was boring. I find it funny that before the movie dropped, Sup Forums took from the trailers that the movie would be just overloaded "Inception" effects, and yet the scenes that are genuinely "trippy" Sup Forums bitches about the most because of the infamous problem this board has with
>not muh

Again with the christfags meme? First about the Thor movies you guys said "they're not really magic because Disney doesn't want to lose the christbelt audience!"

Now that Dr Strange goes full wacky magic you backtrack on that idea (after months of crying about how they were gonna turn Strange into a quantum physics scientist or some shit) and come up with this new Satan excuse

Just fucking stop

>Sup Forums is one person
>being this ass blasted instead of realising that American's literally get triggered by Satan - and having him in a family movie would be a bad move.
>not realising that Marvel movies are assembly made, mass produced for mass appeal and consumption. A giant flaming skull head could alienate more religious or oriental sects of the market.

Dr Strange is all magic - Dormammu is, however, NOT the Devil. He's an all powerful interdimensional conqueror. This has always been the case. His design should reflect that.

And trivialising one of my talking points without actually refuting it? C'mon man. Step it up. Bring something more to the table than "waah. I don't like your train of thought."

>Is it not more likely he adopted this form to reflect Stephen's?
Lending credence to this theory is the fact that Cumberbatch voiced Dormammu.

We can only hope they get Mads back to embody this form

He was good but overqualified for what little depth Keksandra or whatever had.

That design was good. Problem was the 90s CGI. Practical-effects Spawn and Clown looked great.

>Shit was great.
This, I absolutely loved how it avoided the samey, destruction porn styled climax of most cape movies (especially those of cape origin movies.) and did something a bit different that aligned with Strange's development.
My friend absolutely hated it, though, and he generally hates Strange for some reason, even in the comics. No idea why.

>portraying a satanic figure as the big bad bringer of eternal death will trigger people who recognize Satan as the big bad bringer of eternal death

Not only does your argument not make any fucking sense, 1) we(Americans) aren't nearly as religious as the rest of the world, or even our own GOP wants to believe and 2) Satanic/hell figures are glorified in "normie" comic stuff All-the-fucking time. Take Ghost Rider or Spawn for example.

Yeah, it's hard to refute an assumption that came out of thin air

If i can't have a counter argument is because you don't have an argument in the first place

>I think Dormammu is like this because i think Disney didn't want to insult a group that i think would be offended otherwise

>I don't think I have heard of a single normie complain about it.
That's probably because nobody knows who Dormammu is unless they've played MvC3 really. It's not that big a deal

I knew him before getting into comics because of Spiderman TAS

V is meant to look really bad.
Thats a selling point.
Its like a gigantic chicken, but so overdone it starts to look creepy

Now... the CGI shaders? Those where mostly a bad choice

I like the theory that Dormamu will come back, possess someone, and then take the Dormammu look.

This is just what he looks like in his own dimension where he's basically God. When he comes to earth in a sequel he'll look more like the Dormammy we're used to since he'll use some sort of human avatar.

At least that's what I hope.

>what are the odds that Dormammu would actually BE a humanoid form?
BUT HE WAS, he was just very large in that scene.

It was akin to a man looking upon an ant, to give you an idea of scale.

>Defend this.
Why?

Explain why Dormammu's appearance is so important to the quality of the movie.

>the stars on his body that made him resemble Eternity

In the comics didn't he take over his dimension because he took the place of his universe's Eternity?

So Dormammu is the god of an entire dimension; a timeless being of immeasurable, unstoppable, and unknowable power.

And Sup Forums thinks this should be illustrated by him being being (at best) six and a half feet feet tall and needing to wear armor?

I think I can see that happening but only if they gave him Shuma's deal of "If he fully manifests in our universe he'll end up destroying most of it, which defeats the purpose of him wanting to take it over, so he has to send less powerful avatars of himself."

>Sup Forums thinks

Strange already did with his time loop. He is, after all, a Defender.

you faggots bitch about everything

EVERYTHING

It'd be accurate to the comics, and no one complained then.

WARNING: THE DOOR MAY MOO

This isn't like those morons that want Green Goblin to be a moving face or Wolverine's stupid ass costume.

Dormammu's comic appearance is really cool and I'm sad that it didn't make it.

Not my fault you enjoy shit.

Cena doesn't even use an elbow drop you gigantic faggot

Yeah, that's how I looked at it.

A DORMAMMU WITHOUT A FLAMING HEAD IS NO DORMAMMU

Finally saw movie. I thought Dormammu was fine. They basically made him as a mashup between the incorporeal Faltine aspect and the physical form he took when he traveled with Umar to the Dark Dimension. I think they did an OK job with the dark Dimension. This thing about it being beyond time they may have also borrowed from the Faltine Dimension, or just an invention to use the Time Stone. Wish I couldve seen more of the Mindless Ones...

I don't need to, it was fine. Fight me.

This won't be the last we see of Dormammu, right? I do want him to manifest a body at some point.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA


The MCU is honestly shit

>His dimension
>Gets time fucked

Is the MCU really this retarded?

Should definitely be Kaecilius so we can get more Mads
