So the F4 cast announcement got me thinking about what comics to read if I get around to that and then about Doom and then I got me thinking... where exactly is Latveria supposed to be? The name makes me think of the Baltic states but I could be wrong.
So yeah, great announcement!
Tumblr media
Pedro Pascal is a bit typecast as playing the Dad character (although that's become "one of those good problems"), but I'm thrilled that Cousin Ritchie is going to be playing Ben Grimm.
Obviously, they won't let Ebon Moss-Bachrach swear as much as he does in the Bear, but he's a fantastic actor and I cannot wait to see him bringing that mix of temper and soulfulness to the part.
I haven't seen much of Vanessa Kirby's work, but I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do with a better script than Napoleon.
And Joseph Quinn is excellent and I look forward to seeing some of "Eddie" Munson's energy in Johnny Storm.
In terms of recommendations for FF comics, I've got you there:
Read the Kirby/Lee run. It's a work of art from beginning to end.
Read the Walt Simonson's run.
This is going to be controversial, but you might want to skip the Byrne run.
Read the Jonathan Hickman run. A serious tour de force.
Alongside the Hickman run, Fraction/Allred is quite good too.
As for where Latveria is, it is indeed Balkan:
Tumblr media
As you can see from the map, Central/Eastern Europe in Earth 616 is quite different and significantly more Balkanized (forgive the pun) compared to Earth 1218 (also known as our universe).
In addition to Doom's Latveria, we have Symkaria (the dysfunctional micro-kingdom whose economy is largely supported by Silver Sable's mercenary company), Transia (birthplace of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff and home to the High Evolutionary's Island of Doctor Moreau Wundagore Mountain), and a bunch of minor ones like Ruritania (from The Prisoner of Zenda), Carnelia (a post-Soviet state that Tony Stark and Justin Hammer fight over), Belgriun (a totalitarian monarchy that was overthrown by a bunch of Spider-Men villains), Draburg (which showed up in some Sabra comics), and some other small ones that I couldn't find on the wiki.

Can we just talk about Doctor Doom’s Hellfire Gala outfit for a moment- like full on analysis right here-
Tumblr media
This is his outfit (image above). We know Víctor Von Doom is Romani from the comics, STAY WITH ME HERE- the Romani ethnicity is classified as Indo-Aryan (originating between India and Europe). In a lot of areas (namely close to or in origin from India) a traditional type of clothing is the sherwani. It originates from “British India”and is common in Indo-Aryan areas similar to where Doctor Doom is from. They look like this:
Tumblr media
You can’t tell me there’s no influence there- if you made that sherwani dark green and added gold flourish (because doctor doom is extra and likes to be pretty sometimes lmao) it’s very similar to his outfit.
HOWEVER- with the sherwani, the extra silk holding is slung vertically over one shoulder. You know which Indian style garment slings it horizontally like Doctor Doom’s does? The sari/saree aka a traditionally female garment!! (The details are changed varying on what ethnicity you’re actually from so technically they went with the Indian version rather than the Romani version but I still think it’s neat)
Tumblr media
Anyways I just thought that was cool! Doctor doom being a queer icon as usual brought to you by yours truly 🤭🤭
(Also if any of the information is incorrect feel free to let me know, I found the info on the internet and you know how that goes sometimes lol)

I hope the MCU doesn't over-design him... maybe the green parts but the armour needs to be super simple or with some Latverian-designed floral patterns.

My completely pointless headcanon about Latveria is that there's a kind of wildflower that only blooms for like 2 weeks in spring and it makes an incredibly delicious preserve that no one except locals has ever heard of. It's small and purple and Doom always has a jar in the kitchens because why wouldn't he.

wait, so is latveria a former part of the ottoman empire? do they have a muslim population, or did they get deported during the end of the empire? or is it all moot because ALL MUST BOW TO DOOM
That's an excellent question!
Yes, the Kingdom of Latveria was part of the Ottoman Empire, and was carved out of the Transylvanian principality by Rudolfo Haasen and his brother Karl during the 14th century.
There are, in fact, Muslims in Latveria. And while Doom himself is an atheist, despite having met both Mephisto and several gods (and having been a god at least once), he does allow houses of worship in Latveria, and there is at least one mosque in Doomstadt.

Doctor Doom but it’s the “WANT SOMETHING THAT I WANT😡😤…something that I ✨tell myself I need 🤭🌸” tiktok trend where the first part is him brutally murdering his enemies and the second part is him with little Valeria Richards at an ice cream shop and getting manicures. You can’t tell me that isn’t EXACTLY what happened in this comic.
