Fant4stic Fant4stic: Reborn! - - - - - - - - - - - - Part 31

I have to confess, I love "Man of Steel" probably #1 on my CB movie list.

see i didn't care for it all that much.. looked like michael bay did a superhero film... just wasn't superman to me.. that film has me alone worried for the entire new DCU.. i feel like they're grounding everything way too much... that's never been what DC comics has been about... imo

^this, I think the fact they're using Orange Crush over the bigger brands for product placement also speaks volumes

Don't you see they are using the "CRUSH" connection with The Thing? Get it? I believe it wouldn't be the first time "Orange Crush" and The Thing have been connected for marketing purposes.

actually... from what i've seen it's the crush brand.. not just "orange" if it was just orange.. then.. well maybe.. but that doesn't change the fact Crush brand is the lesser company as the big 3 orange soda companies...

reminds me of the F4 ads during the Final Four back in the day... though.. those were much better (and that's not a biased) watching the human torch and the team play basket ball was hilarious and awesome.

It's a little frustrating and annoying that 95% of the conversation on here is Fox vs. Marvel, but what else is there to talk about?

The marketing department is giving us nothing. How many variations have we seen of the same four characters all standing around looking sullen?

And at the 2 month mark they try to get us excited by shuffling around some clips we've already seen.

The primary marketing message for this film so far seems to be: "Josh Trank isn't as incompetent as has been rumored." and "See this movie to alleviate some of your white guilt."

Yeah, because if there was ever a company that's believed in civil rights and racial equality it FOX!

Good post man.

Holy **** what a bunch of sodaist mother*******. Say what you will about Trank, say what you will about Kinberg, but leave the soda alone. First you insult Crush. Crush! What do you have against it, hmm? Just because a soda isn't brown you're gonna hate on it? Orange Crush is a delightful beverage that has had an enormous pop culture impact, and Cherry Crush is fantastic. The sweetness of the drink is incredible. It's incredible, I say! Now you may be holding that Blue Raspberry Crush against the entire line, but come now. They only made it to slap Leonardo on it last year for the Turtles tie-in. It's not enough that you smear mud on the Crush name, though. You off-topic jerks besmirch the Pibb name. Pibb Xtra ("Mr. Pibb", sheesh get with the times) is a fine beverage. Why, it's an honest soda, proudly proclaiming itself a "Spicy Cherry" soda. None of that "23 flavors, have fun guessing what we threw in, *****" crap that pretentious"Dr." Pepper pulls. You should all feel ashamed.

Hmmm.... doubtful, they would be wondering why Disney/Marvel did not get a bigger brand name like they did with The Avengers movies (Dr. Pepper). That would have been the question.

^this, I think the fact they're using Orange Crush over the bigger brands for product placement also speaks volumes

In terms of the US, it's Coke, Pepsi then Snapple/Dr. Pepper then Cott then National Beverage (Shasta) and then Other which would have Crush.

Maybe Dr. Pepper just threw more money for the rights?

Avengers also had Doritos too. So they were spread around.

Years ago you also had a fast food company advertising too. I only see that DQ is doing Jurassic World.

Yeah, the first FF movie had figures at Burger King.

Crush is actually manufactured by the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. Crush is regularly used for film advertising, possibly because it's easy to tie different characters into different flavors. Last year, for example, Turtles threw Mikey on Orange, Raph on Cherry, Donny on Grape, and Leo on a berry flavor that stores stocked to put a damn Leonardo tie-in on the shelf.

Basically what I'm saying is I drink entirely too much soda, and **** that Leonardo soda.

Not here for this Orange Crush shaming. It's bigger than Shasta!!

Yeah! I had almost forgotten about that.

Coca-Cola arguably the biggest... doesn't really do this kinda merch cross promotion so i'll leave them off...

Pepsi-Co revels in it.. and is the largest of those who do.. They not only own Pepsi, Mt. Dew, Gatorade, 7Up, Tropicana, Sierra Mist, Sobe, and Aquafina... but......

Frito-Lay and Quaker foods and snack..... aka Doritos, Tostitos, Cheetos, Fritos, Rold Gold Pretzels, Sun Chips, Cracker Jacks, Cap'N Crunch, Ricearoni, life cereal, aunt jemima....

they are also exclusively linked to YUM! brands of fast food restraunts.. and often share cross promotion with them (most notoriously with Star Wars episode 1 merch) YUM! is KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W, and Long John Silvers...

so basically.. if Pepsi-co doesn't want you.. (and they usually partner with fox's X-men franchise) then it does paint a really interesting picture imo

It's a damn shame this movie didn't do a promotion with Shasta. The Dollar Tree is gonna be pissed that they don't have any Fant4stic tie-in beverages to get the kids in the door.

and yes! looks at how great the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie turned out! This film totally needs to share the same promotions... it fits perfectly!

I thought that was Sunkist.

Still Sunkist > Crush.

Edit: It was Sunkist. Weird they have both Crush and Sunkist.

psh.. they shoulda went with whatever company makes "Lotsa Country Gold" the extremely creepy mountain dew rip off... i always look at it and am like.. uh.... hillbilly pee?

Edit: It was Sunkist. Weird they have both Crush and Sunkist.

They have both due to a variety of events. Buyouts, demergers of bottling companies, thrilling stuff.

It's a shame about those damn rights issues, though. The beverage we should have had Fant4stic tie-ins for is Kool-Aid, but Marvel Studios has the rights.

Pepsi co has both 7-UP and Sierra Mist... i have no clue why...

I think this ad campaign with FIFA Women's World Cup is great exposure toward international box office.

Dr. Pepper has 7-UP in the US, Pepsi has it elsewhere. Basically, it's one of those rare "shared rights" situations. 7-UP is the Quicksilver of carbonated beverages.

didn't say it wasnt'.. but i also don't think it makes the film look good either.. (not bad, but not good)

 

[Orba]

Kind of disappointing, thought that they might have tried to use some new footage in the ads.

Thanks for the warning, now I can't finish my work and have leaking, eroding, acidic cans on the brain...

...*runs off to find cans in garage...

I've got a pair of 1986 World Series RC cans that have held up so far. Maybe the cans are a lot flimsier nowadays though.

I have to confess, I love "Man of Steel" probably #1 on my CB movie list.

I thought it was awesome.

And Faygo.
