The Fantastic Four ripped off the Challengers of the Unknown and completely got away with it.

Thanos ripped off Darkseid and completely got away with it.

Can we just have a nice Doom Patrol thread without any shit like ''X-men is a rip off hurr hurr''? Really

>>83232661
Essential Doom Patrol?

>HARD MODE

No Morrison.

>>83232661
They did though

>>83232687
Everything that is not Byrne.

>>83232687
I would say the first run.

>Doom Patrol
literally who

>>83232936

Is the 2009 run any good?

Was the mom from The Incredibles based on the giant girl from this team?

>>83233150
it's ok
it's got good personality because Giffen, but it just doesn't go anywhere, I don't recall if it was cancelled prior to Flashpoint or because of it

>>83232474
Doom Patrol was a twist on the Fantastic Four formula, and you would know that if you read the comics.
I mean the Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani comics, not just reading the Morrison run and calling it a day.

>>83232474
Wasn't Doom Patrol supposed to be DC's Fantastic Four?

This isn't even getting into the characters who mysteriously appeared at exactly the same time like Vision and Red Tornado. Who was ripping off who?

>>83233156
No, they just used the name, and Helen has more "elastic" powers anyway. Classic Rita just had size powers with a lot of room for creativity. She was only ever "elastic" in reinterpretations.

>>83233242
It was cancelled in the middle of Flashpoint. It is good, to me it was better than the two volumes that were before.
What do you think will happen with Doom Patrol after rebirth? How they will be retcon?.

>>83233242
It was part of a slate of cancellations like six months before Flashpoint.
JSA All-Stars and REBELS also went at the time, I think.

>we will never have New52 "Thunderbolts" Patrol.

Have you heard? Young Animal and Gerard Way?
"All-Star" Doom Patrol

10/10. It's like I don't read the comics at all!

>Justice League February, 1960
Try again, they already had Marvel beat in that department by a good twenty-two years.

>>83232687
>Casual mode

Hard Mode
No Drake

>>83233591
I know that genius. What I wonder is how since new 52 is pre Flashpoint.
>Chief isn't on a wheelchair
>Some dead members are alive now
>Flex Mentallo is going to return
You know, I want to see all the members together at least in one issue. From Fever, Celsius, Elemental Woman and Faith to Coagula, Will Maguns, Ambush Bug and Metamorpho.

>>83233811
In before
>Half of them are dead

>>83233811
Young Animal likely means it doesn't have to fit into the mainstream continuity like you're hoping.

>>83233967
So we Morrison now?

>>83233811
>>83233967
If Al Ewing was the writer of Doom Patrol he would be suffering.
Who do you hope will join the team or appear? My bet is on Constantine.

>>83232474
Well they did it more successfully so

How would you go about writing a Doom Patrol movie? Which iteration of the team would you use, who are the villains, and what would the overall plot be? How do you sell the idea to audiences while retaining the essential spirit of the series?

>>83234220
I could see it being kind of an anthology series. Different team, different era every time, and every movie ends with the team dying or some other crazy bullshit.

Mega pleb here: I've read Morrison's DP stuff, who else should I read?

>>83233354
>artist/writer pitches character
>publisher says no
>makes character anyway

See:wolverine. Half of the New X-men were LOSH.

>>83234019
>Morrison's Patrol
>not in continuity

He had gene bombs from whatever that Invasion event was, and had members of the team right before him show up/were acknowledged and had moments of being relevant.

He was just mostly self-contained with his run

I'm excited as fuck for YA Doom Patrol. Umbrella Academy is still one of the best damn comics I've ever read.

>>83234220
The first movie is about their origins and their apparenth death with some hints that the Chief is actually responsibe for the accidents that turned Cliff, Rita and Negative Man into freaks but nothing is ever confirmed.
Post credit scene shows that Robotman survived and is founded by Doctor Will Magnus.

>>83234407
>That Fucking Page

Every time. Bravo Way.

>>83234220
Origin of the team.
Original roster, the "group therapy" concept from Morrison.
Main conflict is AVMMan: Dr Larsen is Niles' friend, and Niles wants to handle the monster discretely before the authorities just kill him. Team proves effective, Niles realizes that his scientific colleagues and rivals are prone to the same issues and that as a special security group they could keep the world from imploding.

Sequel bait: something like Brain being out for blood, or maybe an Immortus reveal as the mastermind of something

>>83234407
read more comics

>>83232567
It's Metron you butt licker! He even has the chair!

>>83232936
Dude even casuals know about them, thanks to the Teen Titans cartoon.

I always hoped they'd come back for another episode. I had no idea who they were as a kid but they seemed pretty damn cool.

>>83232474
Doom Patrol has never been fun though

>>83237548
tyb murakami

>>83233568
The rest I'll give you but with X-Men and Doom Patrol, they were too close to tell for sure, like the Munsters and the Addams Family.

>>83233967
They've already said it's all in continuity with regular DC titles.

>>83237923
Not really, the writer mentioned that at the time both dc and marvel shared some of the same writers-pool.
Though he initial just chalked it up to parallel thought, he's then admitted how easily the premise could've been casually mentioned in passing over at marvel.
