The solo dev behind the indie poker roguelike Balatro is disappointed over how games with "actual gambling mechanics" are given age ratings, after seeing their own game's rating skyrocket due to gambling-related concerns. This came despite the fact that Balatro doesn't actually feature gambling, and the developer is strictly against it.
Avengers 6: Fan Explains The Best Way To Replace Kang With Doctor Doom
26.02.2024 - 02:46 / gamerant.com / Jerry Mackenzie
Avengers: Secret Wars may have to replace Kang because of Jonathan Majors' exit, and one Marvel fan outlined the best method for replacing Kang with Doctor Doom as the central villain.
Reports on Avengers: Secret Wars claim that even before Majors' legal troubles, the studio was already making moves to minimize the Kang character due to the underperformance of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania at the box office. With doubts about Kang's future viability, Marvel Studios is now getting a new title for their 2026 Avengers film to remove his name from it. This massive shift leaves questions about who could replace Kang as theAvengers villain of the Multiverse Saga.
A Reddit user by the handle of ScarletSpiderForever started a discussion thread asking how the MCU could potentially bring in Doctor Doom as the main antagonist for the upcomingAvengers: Secret Wars storyline. The user explained that with Doctor Doom not yet introduced in the MCU despite Phase 5 already underway, the films would need to properly establish his background and importance in a way that matches his complexity in the comics. ScarletSpiderForever suggested quickly giving Doctor Doom a solo origin film as one possibility, arguing he is one of the few villains who could carry an entire movie himself. Another idea they proposed was to retroactively insert Doctor Doom into past MCU events to make it seem like he had been a hidden mastermind manipulating things all along. This could help better set him up as the next big threat similar to how Mysterio was handled.
Another Redditor named shaggycal proposed showing that Doctor Doom was present in Sokovia during the events ofAvengers: Age of Ultron, which inspires him to gain more knowledge to protect his home country of Latveria. On this journey, he becomes apprenticed to Mordo for a time before breaking away and gathering mystical powers during the Blip. After Endgame, Doctor Doom uses his advanced science and magic to build an empire in Latveria. But experiments with time travel technology accidentally send him back to 1960s New York, where Doctor Doom crosses paths with The Fantastic Four. This potential background story could nicely establish Doctor Doom's motivations while linking him to key past events in the Infinity Saga.
It is clear Marvel Studios now faces major story implications with the need to minimize Kang after Majors' exit going forward. While Doctor Doom has the potential to fill the void as the next prominent adversary in Avengers: Secret Wars, introducing him smoothly this late in the Multiverse Saga poses challenges. One fresh scenario not yet suggested would be establishing that Doctor Doom was an ally of T'Challa in secret Wakandan outreach to Latveria. After T'Challa's

The Mad Thinker plots to break the Avengers and only their butler Jarvis can save the day
Not so long ago the multiversal monsters known as the Ashen Combine launched a devastating attack on Earth. Luckily, the Avengers were on hand and able to defeat the villains, imprisoning them once again in the Impossible City (which, if you haven't been reading the book, is the weird new home of Earth's mightiest heroes). So everything is OK now, right? As Tony Stark glibly puts it in our preview of Avengers #11, which you can read in the gallery below, "the world is safe, bingo bango."
