25 WTF Moments From Fantastic Four

22. Victor Von Doom Is A Gamer With Terrible Hair & A Crappy Apartment

As if it wasn't already clear that the film was in trouble, an early scene practically seals the deal, when Dr. Storm shows up at Victor von Doom's (Toby Kebbell) messy, tiny apartment (yes, he's no longer called Victor Domashev as originally planned) to recruit him for his dimensional experiment, and the guy is playing video games with tons of hair and looking like he hasn't bathed in about a month. It's a far cry from the Doom most comic fans know, and while the attempt to modernise the story is brave, the whole scene just looks ridiculous, and therefore it's tough to take the already pathetic-looking Doom seriously at all. People were worried 2015 Doom would be a lame hacker lounging in his parents' basement, and he's not as far away from that description as most fans would like, at least until he shows up at the lab looking a little better-groomed.
