But see here is the thing....I am already seeing it happen, it happened with the Alba choice. It ended up taking up the majority of the discussion time, that "could" have been positive word of mouth at the beginning, and through the first few months. People from the beginning had a bad taste in their mouth because they felt like, unnecessary changes were being made. THE ONLY THING that got more discussion time at the beginning was "Doom with hooves". Why do that if there are other good choices that would keep that from happening, or even possibly, keep the full character intact in look, age, culture, that has taken us through many generations of this comic? No one has really given me a strong answer for that....if it turns out that the other choices were meh, and acting wise he was the best choice, then I will shut my mouth and trumpet his arrival....we don't know those answers yet. If I see someone like a Colton Haynes that is bypassed, and he was up for the part, then I will question this choice....But we are now seeing this "one rumor" totally take over this board, and I'm not sure that is a positive thing for the movie. Just my opinion, but that is how I see it, having been on this board throughout the first 2 movies....I've seen what that kind of discussion can do to the early word of mouth of a movie.

Of course even if FOX does get this off the ground and it tanks they might just let it go anyway. Sony apparently didn't want to hang on to Ghost Rider any more.

You can make the same case for many other superheroes, but why shouldn't they keep the look of the heroes, both with and without the mask, intact? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I don't think you can compare Alba and MBJ. For one, Alba is not a very good actress, and nothing remotely similar to Sue.. and that had nothing to do with her race. MBJ, on the other hand, is a talented and incredibly charismatic actor, and by all around perfect for Johnny. He just happens to be black.

Um, apparently you didn't hang out on the F4 boards back then, but OK....
I think the comparison is spot on...just my opinion.

Per this week's edition of Entertainment Weekly, the one with RDJ and Gweneth on the cover, Sony has relinquished the GR rights.

Its not his alien origin that requires he be white. Its his Kansas small farm upbringing. An important part of his origin is that he is Pa and Ma Kent's son, and believed to be such by himself and everyone around him, just another small town country boy. And there aren't a lot of black farmers in 70s Kansas.

Regarding the Torch - I am all for colorblind casting, and being a fan of Community I had hoped that Donald Glover got to play Spidey. Personally, I am much more accepting of "creative casting" with actors that don't change the iconic look of the hero. Black Spidey, Asian Iron Man, Hispanic Hulk? I have no problem at all with those changes. But I think I (and other comics fans) would be less likely to embrace similar casting decisions with Clark Kent, Thor and yes, Johnny Storm. |

You'd see a MASSIVE uproar if we ever got a Blonde Superman that'd make this ordeal look like child's play. Like Kelly said before.. this kind of thing is already causing a backlash on a film that REALLY does not need it. It has enough hurdles to cross as is. to me, this sounds like a death-sentence to FF at Fox. I'm sure Marvel is thrilled |

As far as the 2nd movie? The look? YES.....the wig and make up in the first half of the movie was horrible, I think she finally took at look at the dailys and thought, holy crap I look like Barbie and got it changed....Her scene with Alicia before the wedding was very Alicia/Sue, her scene with Doom in the lab, was totally the Sue from the Marvel Knights editions in look, attitude, everything....and her scene with the Silver Surfer, as well as the sacrifice at the end. But throughout the movie you still had the *****y Sue about her wedding, *****y Sue towards Johnny....and absolutely NO INTERACTION with Ben at all.

I honestly don't think he is that great of an actor. You make it seem like he is the next great Hollywood box office draw. I just don't see it.
