Thread 212905368

Forget the box office, do you guys think this will be more or less entertaining than Superman? I think it’s strange that they’re redoing the plot of the Silver Surfer movie that bombed but with a 60s theme for some reason, but who knows maybe it’ll be really good? I’m honestly curious.

It'll be a bomb. Nobody gives a fuck about the Fantastic 4 at the best of times.

>>212905368 (OP)
I thought JP would bomb for sure but I under estimated how stupid your average film goer is so this will probably do ok like make its budget back the first week

>>212905368 (OP)
This movie looks like it's trying so hard, it might get some quirk chunguses in the seats, at least the ones that aren't already sick of Pascal, but imo this will flop hard

>>212905368 (OP)
I really haven't given a shit. I only watched Superman because my Dad who idolizes the character hated it and needed me to see how stupid it was. I'm predicting that f4 is going to have AWFUL writing and dialogue, and the rest of the movie isn't going to cancel it out

Put it into perspective: Marvel realizes it's weak and scaled down the marketing. I repeat, Marvel thinks one of their movies isn't particularly good.

>>212905368 (OP)
it's gonna be shit. they turned The Thing into a fucking faggot

>with a 60s theme for some reason
Pretty sure every parody of the F4 has done this. People seem to mentally associate superhero family with a 60s vibe. Inspires confidence in the creative direction desu.

I think it should be pretty good. Maybe not hit the emotional highs as Superman because F4 isn't as iconic, but probably have more creative super power scenes. More mundane and slapstick uses.

>>212905368 (OP)
Its kinda of a retarded premise basically letting everybody know these capes let their planet getting devoured by a gigant purple guy and that is basically pointless...it would have been 100% better if they were adventurers from the MCU's 60s that got sucked by a portal or something and ended up in the present.
I think its the worst of the MCU style to kill any sense of stakes on their stories because they need to show us some retarded post-credits slop...

>>212905551

I'll probably watch a camrip

Please understand, no one else would sign up for Sue's Lecture Power Hour.

Sure...mexicans and jews were invented in 1989...fucking retarded /pol/cuck.

>>212905368 (OP)
Completely retarded move rebooting yet again a series nobody gives a fuck about and not having the only selling point, Doc Doom in the fucking movie

>First Steps
lol how hopeful

>>212905368 (OP)
They're adapting the same story arc, RotSS dodn't invent it.

>When production began on August 23, 2004, Gruffudd was 30 and Alba was 23
Gruffudd was 30 almost 21 years ago. Pedro Pascal is 50 now.
Vanessa Kirby is 37.
The movie is retro alright.

Why is there suddendly a "safe retro-futurism" trend in movies and tv shows where it's just modern LA "culture" with 50s aesthetics put on top of it
Fallout and now this

>>212905368 (OP)
I don't like the 60s retrofuturism like the Incredibles.
Also the cast is rubbish and woeful. I was excited to see where MCU took the F4, but I won't even see this. Maybe I will torrent it, but it is unlikely.

>>212906680
Only sucker left who'd put up with the script being about Sue. Not making this up, you can look up the reports on actors refusing the role for it.

>>212906834
>the script being about Sue
wtf? Is this movie genuinely centred around Sue?

>>212905368 (OP)
I don't think it will be very successful since this is like the 3rd or 4th F4 reboot in 20 years, but it looks like it will be more fun than Superman.

>>212905368 (OP)
I despise Pedro with a fucking passion and the Thing voice is dogshit but I'll watch to see Vanessa Kirby in a tight suit

>>212907084
Most early reviews have said the film is pretty much an ensamble piece, and there's not one single protagonist; Sue is described as the one with the most emotional weight tho (which of course the retards here take as a sign to cry about "le woke")

>>212907084
she’s the leader of the ff in this one

That is one ugly cast.

>>212907259
>muh baby
wow insightful so emotional

>>212907264
Not really. Reed is the leader of the team as confirmed by trades and people who attended early screenings. Sue leads the Future Foundation, ehich is a separate entity.

Is that a fucking flying robot butler?! My God I'm going to have to see this!

I think it will be alright. Better than that filler episode ADHD crap going on in Superman. It doesn't have the typical MCU bloat universe shit going on but still suffers from a crappy cast which is strange because they couldn't gotten a list actors. Overall it will probably be better than Superman.

>>212905368 (OP)
FF has never been interesting.

>>212907221
I keep forgetting that Fant4stic was a thing.

>>212905368 (OP)
What's the point of "uniforms" if they are all slightly different?

>>212907364
Their strength is that they've got cool villains.

Unicron > Galactus

>>212907888
Unicron will always be Transformer's big bad so he's treated better. Galactus is always used as a joke and jobs to every other new guy to show them off.

>>212905368 (OP)
I probably won't watch either for like a year but I bet it's superman. I have MCU fatigue and them putting doom in some clusterfuck crossover slop has rubbed me the wrong way. F4 is boring without him

>>212907983
>Unicron will always be Transformer's big bad
That's Lorenzo Di Vonaventura

>>212905368 (OP)
The only way that it's more entertaining than superman is if we see Vanessa Kirby's bare asshole

seems fine to me

>>212907084
Yes, the earliest reports went on about muh feminism plot. Again, easily researchable articles despite the reddit misinfo attempts and tantrums.

Superman is unironically more retro for just being a fucking standalone movie that doesn't waste an hour explaining shit while Fantastic Four is peak franchise sloppa.

>>212906332
I hope you realize that literally nobody you interact with in real life thinks about racemixing or uses the term "mutt" for people.

did Disney actually release this lazy ass AI art as promotional material?

>>212908848
Well, those certainly aren't people. But even if you were onto something, other than signaling to others you're a woman, what's your argument here? 'I'm no individual, I need peer approval'? You hope to convince someone being this fucking sad?

Idk, I'm not watching that garbage.

>>212909791
Disney took their agents for a ride, they're immediately getting recast along everyone else after Secret Wars reboots everything.

>>212907701
It's more the difference between the white and blue parts. But it's really an overall thing anytime capeshit has "uniforms" they are always different.

>>212909791
Hollywood hates young people now, it's a shame really. Actors just get older and older

>>212909791
>best bog technician
bro, I can actually see the seems on that cut job. also, her makeup looks like shit. you can tell they just caked her face in foundation and shit to try covering the scars, so they had to repaint her freckles(poorly), and then she wiped off half her nose make up after whatever she snorted whatever pills she's on

>>212905368 (OP)
My sister would rather watch this than Superman. She was even offered to watch Superman but she declined.

>>212911024
People are sick of superman, how many times are they going to remake it? This is like the 4th one in 20 years

>>212911157
You can say the exact same about Fantastic Four. This is literally the 3rd Fantastic Four film series in the past 20 years.

>>212911024
cool, but here's the real question... is she actually going to spend her own money to go out and watch it? Having a preference means fucking nothing without being invested

>>212905368 (OP)
it looks positively soulless

>>212905368 (OP)

I think that's the absolutely worst casting for Johnny possible.
The guy looks like he wandered on the set of FF straight out of Six Feet Under.

>>212909791
wtf she looks like the tranny Zelda wannabe now lmao

>>212911233
But nobody even heard about those

>>212905368 (OP)
I think it's unlikely. It seems like Marvel is trying REALLY fucking hard to make this good, but has made a lot of weird choices along the way. Whereas Gunn was just having fun and enjoying making a good movie.

I've only seen two trailers, and can already assume the plot. Galactus shows up, he wins or whatever, the F4 fuck off their weird 50s timeline and end up in normal Marvel. It's probably a major plot setup for Doomsday. A lot of the movie is likely going to be filler crap.

All the casting is bad. Johnny is terrible. Reed is terrible, even though Pedro is a great lead. Sue is average. Thing design is very mid.
It's like they purposely gave them all slightly off casting, because it seems like all their characters are slightly different than their sources.

It's like Marvel is trying to convince everyone this is their big comeback, but there's no real passion. They did all the formulas and mathematics to make absolutely sure this sorta weird casting and this sorta weird setting and these sorta weird choices were just weird enough to appease both the mainstream, and the non-usual audiences.

I think it's one of those movies that on release people will freak the fuck out about, and then two weeks later nobody will give a shit and people's opinions will have changed to 'it was all right'

>>212908848
Do you actually talk to people? I’ve had people refer to themselves as mutts because they have Native American blood, it’s not some purely negative 4chan term.

>>212905368 (OP)
film probably shit but they'll show RDJ for 2 seconds and that'll be enough to save box office.

>>212911966
Fantastic Four is a hard sell as it is. Even in the comics they're basic bitches and totally bland. They only show up as wet blanket when "parents" need to step in or Reed needs to science mumbo jumbo some deus ex machina. It's quite telling that most Reed stories from the last 20+ years feature him being evil in one way or another, that's how interesting the base character is.
Sue was never relevant and her claim to fame was that she on and off fucks Namor.
Ben is a one-note character with one catchphrase that does fuck all, like most "brawler" types.
Johnny is boring as fuck and almost a non-character.

They're really totally uninteresting and this cast makes them even less so. Best thing they could've done is get Doom front and center as soon as possible and cast Mads in the role, but they fucked even that up and meme'd RDJ instead. Total botch job on all fronts.

And this is something that's supposed to save the franchise. jfc

>>212912088
Either having Reed/Doom’s relationship front and center growing up as rival scientists or a GotG esque space adventure would have been the best way to go.
I also don’t like the idea of Galactus being a giant humanoid robot that stomps through the city, ruins his aura and was hoping he’d be truly gigantic we’d just see small hints of his head and eyes.

Dinosaurs and superheroes, kids!

>>212912221
I don't know why they keep doing Galactus right away, I think the character/concept is boring as fuck.
>shows up, wants to eat Earth
>please don't
>yes I will
>they trick it or "science the fuck out of it" and Galactus fucks off

They could've left Galactus for down the line and merge it with some space GotG style stuff instead so it has more context and relevance and matters more, but here we go just going through boring motions

>>212906388

wtf she looks cute on the left, why did her plastic surgeon turn her into a vampire?

>>212912391
The Surfer, the real Surfer Norrin Radd betrays him and is trapped on earth as a punishment for a decade. He defies his master, and stops Galactus from eating an inhabited world, something Radd was vehemently against when he became the 4th Herald by sacrificing himself to save his world, Zenn-La.

Shallah Ball does the same in the What If? issue she appears in.

>>212912391
For name recognition and they probably know the cast and IP is shit and won’t do a second F4 film. Franklin being in this already and not letting the audience see Reed and Sue’s relationship growing authentically for a while before a baby arrives also seems they want to rush through F4 so their lame ass RDJ Doom can be introduced.

>>212905368 (OP)
No chance it will be as entertaining as Superman. But it has the normie MCU bonus locked in so I'm sure it will be more successful.

>>212912749
nah I saw her in some shitty tv ad recently and she looks megabogged and bloated
they just likely kept her refridgerated for that one appearance and then she started to bloat right after

I would have preferred the black and blue costumes

>>212912391
I think Galactus is just part of Doom's plan

>>212905368 (OP)
Probably not, mostly because like you said it looks like they're just redoing the plot of the Silver Surfer movie. They even have the same scene of the Human Torch chasing the Surfer into space and flaming out. I'm sure the Surfer will also sacrifice themselves to stop Galactus.

Just seems kinda boring, like I've already seen it.

>>212905368 (OP)
The movie is guaranteed to make a profit with the brand and the main actor.

I really wonder if they're actually going to waste Galactus on this movie. Part of me thinks its going to be a bait and switch of sorts

>>212914311
Who else are they going to use? They are already making Doom the villain in the next two Avenger movies

>>212905368 (OP)
I'm broke so I can't see it until the start of August so I guess I bomb because they only care about release week numbers it seems

>>212914606
On that topic i wonder if its actually going to be Dr Doom, or if its going to be an alt universe evil tony stark that becomes doctor doom, effectively being an entirely new and lame character
