"Fantastic Four" Reboot Pre-Release Discussion Part Two (Spoilers)

[RoryWilliams]

Then there's really nothing to discuss at this point if all the talk is gonna be "I've made up my mind and will hate this movie despite not having seen a single frame."

This is may come as a shock to you, but there are movies out there where people correctly predicted that they would be bad (Jonah Hex and Clash of the Titans comes to mind). I'll just try to suck it up and give Fox the benefit of the doubt, maybe this will end up more like Days of Future Past and less like Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Predicting is a young reader's franchise different from actually having an opinion.

Okay I just had to do some massive clean up because two members can't stop this childish nonsense. Here's a pro tip, if you're going to report something don't continue to respond to the person and make the situation worse. Both of you could have easily racked up some infractions. If you must do a back and forth, that's what the PM is for but in this case there's another pro tip, we have an ignore function which I think would work wonders here. I see this again, it's instant warnings.

First look at Pre-CGI Doctor Doom.

 

[Frontier]

I wasn't actually expecting a lot of CG for Doom... though I wonder if it's going to be used to display his completely metal body like the Ultimate and movie Doom? It looks like he's missing an arm too .

I wonder if that mask is also part of the Mo-Cap and not what Doom's mask will actually look like in the movie?

 

[RoryWilliams]

I wasn't expecting CGI either (which is why the set pics greatly troubled me) but apparently that is standard procedure for armored looks. I'm not sure if they're going for armor or a metal body, but I do know in the Iron Man movies RDJ were heavily CGIed in minimalist outfits.

Um...

I wish Marvel/Dinesy would buy the rights back and this reboot will never be seen at all like the 94 movie.

 

[Wonderwall]

Am I being punk'd?

 

[mumbo]

I try not to actively root against movies, but...everything I'm hearing about this one is making it really, really hard not to.

 

[Rick Jones]

It's at the point that I completely forgot about this movie until this just showed up in my subscribed threads update. I've been a big FF fan probably from around the time I learned to read and I'd just rather not be aware of this thing. Such a shame as I was rooting for Josh Trank after Chronicle, too. Not to be an MCU fanboy but it kills me that the rights didn't expire already like Daredevil's.

Holy cow, how is this real. I'm laughing my head off.

 

[Yojimbo]

lmao lmao rofl! This can't be really happening. Oh, man. Hoo... I needed that.

Think if this movie bombs badly enough Fox will just sell the rights back? I know things are pretty sour between them and Marvel, but come on, I can't see them just sitting on rights to something they've failed to launch twice purely out of spite.

I'm fine with X-Men remaining with Fox and am quite happy with the X-Men movies of late...but Fantastic Four needs to go back pronto.

 

[Frontier]

Y'know, I like to believe that I've been as fair and optimistic about this Fantastic Four reboot as I possibly could, especially as a fan of the property and characters, but this... I just don't have the words. It's starting to look to me like this is less and less a Fantastic Four movie and more Josh Trank making his own kind of Superhero movie using the property instead of faithfully adapting it .

So people who enjoyed Chronicle will probably enjoy it, and it might even be a decent movie, but as a Fantastic Four movie it will probably be bad .

At the risk of being incredibly redundant at this point, at least if Marvel had the rights I think we could expect a more faithful FF movie and a Dr. Doom that's actually treated and portrayed like Dr. Doom. Then they would have no reservations about publishing Fantastic Four comics again, and we can move past that childish nonsense.

The only two bits of optimism I can stir up for this movie at all are that one look at the Thing we got and Michael B. Jordan as Johnny. The latter is legitimately looking likely as the best thing to come out of the reboot .

Um...

Yep. This movie is DOOOMED. The great Victor Von Doom is a internet blogger. I bet he is a hipster too.

 

[darkdetective]

Reminds me of the Smallville villain Russian foreign exchange student Mikhail Mxyzptlk. Yes, that was real too.

Don't make me remember.

Fantastic Four Movie "A Mess", Goes To Reshoot, Louisiana Sets Being Rebuilt? - Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movie, TV News

If I'm Fox just can this damn movie off and give it back to Marvel,

But if I'm Marvel hearing all this crap I'll pay for some of the sets but they have to let me use some of the X-Men cast in the MCU movies, if you're Fox what do you have to lose, It win win for both.
