Your basing Doom just on his ties to the comic book world and if you do that, I gurantee you you'll be disappointed with alot of things of that nature. I went in not knowing much about Doom and was satisfied with what I saw, I don't compare and contrast so much because it's a futile battle.
Endless comparisons and picking apart what was like the comics and what wasn't just defeats the point of being entertained, which is why I'm watching a movie in the first place. Scarecrow however didn't use fear in the "Scarecrow" sense, his drug simply made things scary, it wasn't a phobia flash screen.
Scarecrow plays on people's fears and this drug he used simply made anything look scary, it's a nice concept but it's kind of a step back with Scarecrow himself. The reason I mentioned this is simply because i was severely pissed off that the movie barely acknowledged the fact Crane was a costumed villain.
He was listed as just Crane in the credits and that bothered me because it ignored the fact Scarecrow was a costumed villain, a real bad guy with a unique gimmick and not some thug with a fancy weapon and creepy hood. But back to Turtles, whether Krang is made into a Utrom or not, I still want to see him.
I think the idea of a whining talking alien brain is an amusing concept and something I think would look great in CGI, especially that bad ass robot body of his. I know NOW that Krang is not an Utrom but if they decided to change that for the movie, it really wouldn't bother me that much considering the similarities are extremely noticeable.
