Fantastic Four reboot

[jye4ever]

They almost let that drug addled moron direct a Star War.

It keeps going down. It's like a countdown to the rights reverting back to Marvel.

No one is gonna give a **** about a 5th F4 movie.

Like I asked before, why can't comic book writers write comic book movies?

Complicated screen writer union rules.

You should've seen what I went thru just to extend my fence another 4", I had to get like 3 permits and 2 inspections, imagine writing a 150 million dollar movie.

Not to mention that sometimes they **** it up more than save it. Geoff Johns literally made his career at DC right now writing Green Lantern. When the film seemed to be in trouble who did they bring in to save it? Geoff Johns. What happened? He took the original Emerald Twilight idea and threw in his Parallax ideas screwing it up even further.

Of course he is getting another go with the standalone Batman film (despite not writing a solo Bat title) so I guess we'll see if it is the answer.


Looks like they were listening to the public a bit:

When Toby Kebbell revealed in an interview that his take on Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four would be a computer hacker known as Victor Domashev, the reaction online was overwhelmingly negative. Clearly realising that they upset fans, reshoots returned him to Victor Von Doom, though that doesn't seem to have done the movie too many favours regardless based on the so far overwhelmingly negative reviews. The actor - who has been praised for his performance in the reboot - talks here about that and even seems to indicate that the Doom we see in this movie is a Doombot...could that be Fox's way of retconning his unpopular look here to introduce a much more faithful version of Doom? With box office projections going from a $50 million opening to a $40 million opening in the past couple of days, we may never get the chance to find out!

The guy who destroyed Pixels in his review is apparently really angry at this too:

The best Fantastic Four movie is somehow the one directed by Roger ****ing Corman

LOL.

In a funny and related story it looks like Miles Teller is learning a hard lesson the weekend his movie is premiering.

In the publication’s September 2015 issue, which the Fantastic Four actor covers, the female journalist who handled his article calle him out for acting “kind of a ****” during their one-on-one. In the piece, writer Anna Peele detailed the “****ishness” the 28-year-old exuded during their talk, including but not limited to:

Telling a waitress that the high ball glass “is modeled after his c***.”
Showing her a photo of his back muscles to prove just how strong he is.
Boasting that “I’m better-looking than the public thinks I am.”
Making her cut up her meal into bite-sized pieces for him.
Calling Joaquin Phoenix “Joaq” despite actually not knowing the guy.
Bragging about how much pot he smoked in college.
Telling Peele that he’ll request the “‘Do not rape’ service” when calling her an Uber.

He is doing damage control on Twitter to combat this article which was all on the record when it was done.

If they get it back, Marvel's post Thanos phase should be Galactus. Pretty much the only way they're going to be able to raise the stakes.

 

[crows]

I really love how the internet is influencing Hollywood garbage...
Hopefully they will learn from pixels and this garbage

 

[jye4ever]

I see that Whiplash went to his head.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Galactus would be the only thing that would interest me in the MCU.

 

[jye4ever]

Galactus is being saved for a Marvel comedy.

 

[The Mike]

IF Marvel get the FF rights back, I could see them using Galactus as another Phase big baddie similar to using Thanos in Infinity War.

 

[karamazov80]

7% on Rotten Tomatoes now. Metacritic has it at 30%, while Genysis is at 38%. Only slightly higher than Pixels. Really does seem to be a critical train wreck at this point. Oh, well. Hopefully Marvel Studios can get it after this.

If they get it back, Marvel's post Thanos phase should be Galactus. Pretty much the only way they're going to be able to raise the stakes.

Even if they did that, it's not really raising the stakes. Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet enslaves all the main cosmic entities--including Galactus--with a thought. I don't even know if the Beyonder would be raising the stakes. Post-Infinity War, Marvel will just have to find different conflicts for their heroes to confront, not greater ones.

I don't even know if the Beyonder would be raising the stakes. Post-Infinity War, Marvel will just have to find different conflicts for their heroes to confront, not greater ones.

While that is true once the Infinity Gauntlet is done, then a threat of Galactus would still be a thing. Just because Thanos enslaved them doesn't mean suddenly The Avengers would go "Oh him? Pssssh. Thanos got him and we beat him, who cares?"

It'd be a different thing that would probably not reference Infinity War at all. Now had they done Galactus beforehand it'd be a great way to show how much more powerful but even in that they aren't setting up progression. The Chitauri already served Thanos and it's not like Ultron will be kneeling in front of him saying "This guy is way worse than me"

Each conflict has been held in a vacuum. They haven't even made it seem like Ultron was more trouble than The Winter Soldier at this point, even Bucky had multiple folks after him.

 

[karamazov80]

Oh yeah, Galactus could be presented as a huge threat (which could have been done with several Marvel villains so far, such as Malekith and Ronan, if they really put their minds to doing that), but I'm just saying that it's not an escalation in the threat. I noticed for a while people saying that they needed to keep escalating threats in the Marvel U, and I didn't agree then, and Marvel U will have to prove that that's not what they are all about post-Infinity War. But it's easy enough to scale things back and approach things from a different direction, or just have another major threat that could destroy the earth with a different spin on it.

 

[Deckard]

Thanos wants to enslave Earth. He's willing to inflict casualties but ultimately wants the majority of people left to serve him.

Galactus straight up wants to destroy Earth and everything on it. You can't cause an uprising some day and have a chance of being free again if there is no planet or species.

Presenting him as a larger threat could be that easy.

 

[DFanatic]

I would like to see KANG before we see Galactus in the MCU. He is also tied to the F4 rights.

 

[The Mike]

Kang would be awesome. If the Marvel U gets the FF back it opens up a lot of possibilities. You have Galactus, Silver Surfer, Kang (who is tied up with the FF license) but also the Skrulls who could battle the Kree (already kind of introduced in SHIELD) and even have The Avengers try to keep that away from Earth or The Guardians. You have the possibility of a Hulk versus Thing moment and you have a lot more ground you can cover to ramp up the issues.

 

[RIDDICK]

Kang, then Galactus, then Marvel Zombies.

 

[karamazov80]

Please no zombies *barf*

Before Kang, I would love to see the Masters of Evil. How cool would it be to see a group of distinctive bad guys take on this group of good guys we see all the time?

Well Thanos immediately killed off half of all life in existence. So, I guess he wanted half of the earthlings to serve him, anyway

Wasn't Ronan going to destroy Xandar? So, he really already played the Galactus role on an earth-like planet, and that was just one of the Infinity Stones. But yeah, I was going purely on power levels, not necessarily how the power would be used. Galactus is a force of nature that can't be reasoned with. Thanos is a power mad tyrant obsessed with death. I suppose either could be written as more intimidating to the Avengers et al.

 

[Deckard]

In the comics but in this movie universe, Thanos seems more interested in killing the Avengers and enslaving the rest of Earth.




Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he even sort of reject Ronan's request to destroy Xandar.

Please no zombies *barf*

It'd be a nice way to reboot the franchise.
And I want it to be rebooted.
