Robert Downey Jr. celebrates Father’s Day with adorable ‘Doom Dad’ post
The post came amid growing discussion about Doctor Doom’s motivations in Avengers: Doomsday. Rendered in the deliberately messy hand of a child, it shows Doom and his son holding hands with kites dancing overhead. The text on the drawing reads, “I heart doom Dad.” The internet, predictably, melted.
Replies flooded, with one fan writing in Portuguese “papai doom,” and another using a reference from Avengers: Endgame, and commented, “I love you 3000.” Others fired off theories at speed. “DOOM HAS A CHILD CONFIRMED! Or… he had one,” read one response, while another asked, “Wait a minute is this a clue.”
Sharp-eyed viewers spotted what makes the Father’s Day drawing less Hallmark card and more villain origin story. Those kites aren’t blank. Each bears a logo — the Avengers and Fantastic Four insignias — slashed through with a prohibitive red symbol.
Marvel fans already piecing together the film’s plot found ammunition here. Reports and theories have surfaced detailing a brutal change from comic book canon, claiming that Doom’s wife and child die while he investigates the Incursions ripping apart the Multiverse. The tragedy doesn’t simply grieve him; it weaponizes him. When Doom uncovers that Steve Rogers triggered the catastrophe by jumping back through time for his Endgame ending with Peggy Carter, the retribution he seeks targets the former Captain America’s son. The drawing’s innocent tone suddenly curdles.
Robert Downey Jr. earlier addressed the stakes. “There’s something going on in Doomsday, and forward that is literally the only antidote to, ‘How do you not have these films be let down after an Infinity War and an Endgame?’ And boy, have we laboured long and hard to bring that down (via CBR).”
Joe and Anthony Russo directed from Stephen McFeely’s screenplay. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18.
