I had a dream about this movie. In it, the movie turned out awesome. The FF were wearing awesome looking and comic accurate costumes, Doom turned out to be a great villain who also had a comic accurate interpretation, and the final battle was great (it took place in Latveria). I woke up, and I thought "damn it, I wish that was the movie we were getting". Lol

I don't understand this design choice. It's jarring, and doesn't really invoke "realism", rather aversion and disgust. This is one of the challenges of trying to turn a high concept premise like Fantastic Four, into a low-key Scifi film.

Interesting that again all the early advertising seems to be in central and southern America.

Also the image of the Thing from that Peru poster hasn't shown up in America. Wonder if this standee won't either.

What's particularly disappointing to me is that if the film design and this looked like the Thing I'd be all over it. "How can I get one of these? How much? $5000, $10,000? I'll write you a check."

Maybe that's part of the David Cronenberg/ the Fly type of feeling that was mentioned for this film, which is the wrong tone for FF.

WOW. That is...strangely apropos...

Bravo.

His awkward, dickless stance brought back memories of the song.

 

[Dark Raven]

The Thing without a thing.

 

[Sleiek]

But did it ever have a thing? I am curious.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Some questions are better left unanswered.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't know, but it just dawned on me that his classic version wears blue Speedo briefs.

But they can't do that! Speedos are cheesy.

Better to go buck naked and dickless instead.

So is that the reason the Lizard kept his pants too?!!! Lol

The Thing without a thing.

Who thought it was a good idea for the Thing to walk around naked? Better yet for him to not have any balls? This is a horrible idea and I'm not sure this is for kids. Who wants to see a naked, rock hard man walk around that's neutered?

I was fully aware of that. That's why I've always been against the costuming for this film. Ben wears pants since he actually has a need for modesty. That and it's just awkward to walk around without pants on even if there is nothing there.

And now this begs the question of how Ben doesn't die of kidney failure. I'm surprised that nobody considered that when the costumes were finalized.

Reptile genitalia is internal unless aroused. Lizard just kept the pants because he's not THAT much bigger than Dr. Conners.

I still detest the idea of Thing being a eunuch. Alicia Masters is a pretty big part of the FF mythos and now there's no reason to introduce her since Ben's dating life is over.

Not even touching this one.....

I appreciate and saddened you took the time to answer that like it made any sense.

Are you seriously telling me you thought Alicia was having sex with him. Oh boy.

Did the power cosmic steal Surfer's junk too? Didn't Alicia have a romance with him too.

This thread has turned ultra sweaty nerd. The sex life of superheroes smh, i have nothing else to add.

The same 40 year old nerds saying Bay shouldn't 'ground' the inherent silliness of mutant ninja turtles are asking Stan Lee about a rock monsters junk or Superman and Lois.

 

[Krystal]

How much of the movie will be set in Latveria?

 

[marvelmadness13]

Latveria the country in Eastern Europe or Latveria the online MMO played my blogger extraordinaire Victor Domashev?

 

[Dasher10]

My guess? None unless it's after the credits. Check your expectations. This is just an origin story. We aren't getting deep into the property until the sequels. Fox won't go all out for an origin story.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Chiklis wasn't dickless.
