ita, I think you and I are one on the pre-impression of the movie. I just counter my worries about Alba with the article I read in a Chicago magazine last weekend about McMahon using his native accent in the movie. (Apparently Latveria must be a postage-stamp sized country in Eastern Europe that was settled by Australians...)
None of it means a damn thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, McMahon's Doom had better do a lot of really really bad things. Because that voice help me excuse quite a bit. Damn, he's good at arrogant.

If I only had a brain...
I thought Dr. Doom was the Nazi concentration-camp survivor?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

No, that's Magneto.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is he also a Nazi concentration camp survivor in the comics, or was that just in the movie as an ironic nod to Apt Pupil ?

Nope, that's the classic Magneto story.

Magneto doesn't wear a mask. He wears a helmet.

ita hmms my ahem. The only thing that Marvel has waffled on is whether Magneto is Jewish or a Magnetic Pole.
