Certainly better than Ben out in the spacesuit. I have to believe that's why Doom is still more human-shaped as opposed to Thing.
True enough. But at least Sue's nagging is focused, unlike Pepper's. I think it's a combo of poor writing and poor tape. Problem is a lot of 'work books' can't get their examples to sound conversational. Johnny hasn't gotten the feedback he needs to improve. That woman in the bar reads like the first harshing he's gotten. He's been riding his cute and his 'little shit' waaay past normal expiration.
Not sure what Reed's back story is, looks to be trust fund For Science! But Doom has swiped enough patents that the cupboard is past bare, not been replenished. I figure Reed started maybe 16, or 17, but hit MIT at the high level considered normal there and then J curved. Pranksters got pwned so people just stopped messing with Serious Boy (and tried to get in on his papers)
Doom was smart, probably had a court of sycophants but damn, Reed, not the smartest in the pond. Tony would have been easy to dismiss. And envy. Mostly his liver, and the money.
