New "Fantastic Four" Movie Images Debut

[regnak]

Real Fantastic Four fans want the Fantastic Four to fail!



So you don't want to see a good Fantastic Four movie?

Yes but it is quite apparent there will never be one from Fox.

They're making this film as different as possible from the previous two FF films, so you would think people would be happy about that.

I think that would be too extreme. They were bad, but they were still F4 movies. You could take any screencap and see that.

Honestly, if you look at any of the screencaps provided on this movie, and not knowing what it was, do you think a single person could identify it?

[Emma's Midriff]

It's how Michael B. Jordan has described them.

Jordan said it, Any falsehood is on you.

Lmao, he said the powers were being treated as a sort of disability. Not that the movie was about kids with disabilities. Lol.

Was this said in an interview? Citation please.

I guess I just don't see why the need to identify a movie based on a screenshot matters to you so much. *shrug*

What's the point? I refer to something Jordan said and you call me a liar. Even if there was a Sony like leak revealing the worst you would still spin it some bizarre way. It is quite apparent you are just trollling now.

Like what? I'm not the one who said the new F4 movie was about "kids with disabilities."

Also I wasn't aware that asking you to back up your statements qualified as "trolling."

What the hell is he talking about?

I referred to what Jordan said and you called me a liar knowing that he said it. Because you could not refute Doom the blogger and Jordan's statement as being bad writing which was my point.

Like what? I'm not the one who said the new F4 movie was about "kids with disabilities."

The full quote was:

"It’s not your typical superhero film, you know, we aren’t looking at this as like, being superheroes. We’re more or less a bunch of kids that had an accident and we have disabilities now that we have to cope with, and try to find a life afterwards – try to be as normal as we can."

Obviously, all things can be open to interpretations, but if you want to get literal, he never said anything about treating the powers as disabilities. It's kids having an accident, getting disabilities, and having to cope with them.

Who can forget all those classic Fantastic Four stories where Reed couldn't control his body? Those powers sure were a burden to him.

[Thuro Pendragon]

I like it. Looks more like the type of Urban Sci-Fi TV show that I'd watch.

Of course thats not a good thing to say when its a movie. But all in all I liked the images.


Of course there is a very good chance that they'll mess it up. Remember Firefly anyone?

(Which is just like the comics, as far as Ben Grimm is concerned.)

[America / Bucky / Russia]

Not gonna lie, I personally want the movie to tank so bad that Fox begs Marvel to take them back because I want the Avengers to fight Galactus. Yes, I'm a selfish person.

"I want a company to make a financial loss because of synergy"

The look and the tone of the first two movies was fine. The main problem was the writing/plotting. So they change what worked and since we have heard about Doom the blogger and the FF being kids with disabilities the writing is almost certainly worse as well.

I'll agree with that. The look was very Fantastic Four, although looking back the film costumes really did scream of the mid-2000s. The best aesthetic change with this film is probably The Thing. Looking like a rock looks way better and makes much more sense than just a rubber suit. The Hulk hasn't been a rubber suit (or, plenty of make-up, even) in decades, so it's great to see the Thing finally get that upgrade.

As for Doom the blogger, I doubt blogging will be his entire character. I suspect a lot more emphasis will be placed on the science side of Dr Doom (which is where the blogging side comes into play, i.e. new media and futurism) comes in to play. A side we've only really seen played out in the comic books. In the 2005, he was just a campy villain and a business executive.

I thought the look and tone of the first two movies was awful, tbh. Also "FF being kids with disabilities" is a falsehood on your part.

I think the difference between the 2005 film and the 2015 film is in audience. I loved Fantastic Four watching it as an eight year old. It was a lot of fun. Then, a couple of years later when Rise of the Silver Surfer was released, even ten year old me recognised it as alright but nothing spectacular. This new film is shifting audience entirely. Whereas the MCU is quite accessible for kids with its tone, big battles etc., this film seems to be capturing the mid-to-late teen and adult audience more. The tone I get from the trailer is that it's for a viewer who can evaluate and consider what's going on a little more than "AW YES THIS FIGHT SCENE IS AWESOME." Both have their place, of course. But coming to this ten years after the 2005 film, that alternate tone is what grabs my attention more.

I might have to rewatch the 2005 film at somepoint, actually, to see how it holds up. The last time I saw it was probably bits and pieces on a TV broadcast some months back.

I hope they are not going to wear those boring black costumes for the whole movie. Some colour please
