What nobody is talking about in the middle of all this Doom and Hulk excitement is what this means for the TVA scene that reportedly plays first. Three universes left. Earth-616, Earth-828 and Earth-10005. The multiverse is not collapsing slowly in the background anymore. By the time Doomsday opens most of reality is already gone and we are watching Doom recruit broken people from a world that is already one of the last three standing. That is not a villain with a plan. That is a man operating on a deadline nobody else knows about yet. Putting those two scenes together changes how I read Doom's entire motivation. He is not conquering for power. He is assembling for survival. And recruiting Banner specifically right after he lost control of himself tells you Doom needs something Banner has that nobody else in those three remaining universes can provide. The question of what that is should carry us all the way to December.
