Speaking of Doom, Tobey Kebbell is in rare form these days...

I love this guy.

 

[Flint Marko]

The cast seems so indifferent about this movie. Just another paycheck. But I like Kebbels enthusiasm, he seems to understand the importance of the character he's playing. Maybe in year or so he'll admit how misguided and lackluster his version is.

 

[Drz]

No Doom yet???

Marketing doesn't mean that everything has to be shown, revealed or at worst spoiled. This isn't Ant-Man!

wait now he is the "3rd unofficial sibling" to the Storms ?

Did you not listen to Toby's interview? He gives a perfect explanation true to the character's roots why Doom would see the Baxter Building and Dr. Storm as his new home.

 

[Ragnaroknroll]

Yeah Kebbell was the one actor I was actually somewhat enthused about when he was cast. Unfortunately, he signed up for the wrong Doom.

I agree. When I was watching the video of the panel discussion, it was boring, irrelevant comment after boring, irrelevant comment and then when they got to Kebbell I was like: "Wait a minute . . . does somebody involved in this film actually have a clue who the Fantastic Four are?!?!"

And since then his successive interviews have convinced me that at least he, personally, does get it. But as I've mentioned, I'm afraid that won't do much good if he's not allowed by the structure of the story, production design etc. to be the character he knows Doom to be.

Maybe Fox should consider letting Kebbell direct the sequel.

Oh he is... Just read between the lines. If it was up to him we would definitely be getting a respectable "Victor Von Doom" on the big screen but because of Trank and Kinberg, this is what you get!

I remember even in the original interview - when he mentioned the infamous 'blogger Doom' - that I got a clear vibe from him that he was embarrassed that he was stuck doing such a watered down variation of Doom.

Showing SOMETHING doesn't mean showing EVERYTHING. We have seen and heard more about Apocalypse than we have Doom, yet I don't see anyone complaining about getting the entirety of XMA handed to them by the Comic Con footage.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

We have seen something of Doom. We've seen him before the accident, we've seen him in the N-Zone, we've seen a full face shot, we've seen him kill a bunch of guys.

We've only seen one shot of Apocalyse and that hasn't officially been released unlike the above.

The same people who saw Apocalypse we're the same people who saw the last Fantastic Four trailer which provided more footage of Dr. Doom.

so after comic-con's yawn worthy lack-luster.. and the outright embarrassed or "annoyed" vibes i'm getting from that cast.. ive kinda switched from complaining about this movie.. to just feeling sorry for it.

at this point it's like kicking a dying dog...

Comic won wasn't yawn worthy or lackluster, the Suicide Squad, Superman, X-men and Deadpool movies all looked great!

comic-con wasn't.. as a whole.. but was referring to this films panel.

It's dying because Fox kicked it (rebooted it) and won't let it go to the Vet (MCU)

The cast seemed ok to me. I don't know where you are all getting that yawn vibes from?

I was all over the Hype over the weekend keeping up with the comic con news......

Suicide Squad news was released.....fans were ecstatic, people went wild.....
BvS news was released......fans were ecstatic, people went wild.....
XMen news was released.....fans were ecstatic, people went wild.....
Deadpool news was released.....fans were ecstatic, people went wild.....
Fantastic Four news was released.......fans went meh, people yawned......

People see what they want to see. It's all subjective, just like you and me don't see anything negative about the the actors, some do.

 

[Kelly]

People also can refuse to see what they don't want to see.

Their panel was one of the worst panels I've seen in the 11 years I've been following SDCC. Every site that was doing a live blog even realized it. I was following 4 different blogs that night.

If you watch all of the panels, the comparison is not subjective at all. It is reality...and to not see the enormous differences is simply being blind.

I was sooooo hoping that they were going to quell a lot of the questions during their panel, but it didn't come anywhere near doing that.

And that goes both ways lol.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Wow, people are actually behaving as if this panel went over well?

It passed through like a gnat's fart in a hurricane. It had almost no reaction on Twitter. The blog responses were mixed. This thread itself was inactive and dead compared to the other SDCC movie threads on this forum.

The cast seemed either nervous, bored, or ambivalent. Reportedly the footage failed to wow anyone. Trank put his foot in his mouth a few more times while Kinberg stared at him blankly.

The panel wasn't even a trainwreck. It was just nothing. A non-entity. No one cared.

 

[Kelly]

And that goes both ways lol.

Sure it can, but the differences were so evident, twitter noticed it in a huge way.

I'm fine with people being excited for this movie, if they are still excited more power to them, but the F4 showing at SDCC compared to the superhero movies and TV series was dismal at best.

I was one hoping for this to be a good turnaround time for this movie...it didn't happen.

I think you are reading too much into things Kelly. No offence intended of course.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Okay so Domashev isn't a hacker he's "Tech Support" and also the 3rd Storm sibling.....

Pfft....family oriented indeed! Just not in a good way! LOL

So is Mole Man the crazy Uncle?

This reboot is the worst! I love it!

So nice to hear they "didn't have time" for the FF's greatest adversary and Marvel Comics chief villain. :

Ant-Man looks more Fantastic Four to me than Fantastic Four.

Here's what I mean:

FF to me was characterized by fun, amazing worlds where anything could happen at any time. When they explored sub-terrania in the first issue, there were monsters, creatures and exciting, interesting threats at every turn.

And that's what we see with Ant-Man. When he shrinks down, he's in a whole new world. In that world, ants are bigger than him and a bath-tub faucet threatens to wash him away. A Thomas The Tank Engine train becomes real, etc. etc.

If, when the FF go to the negative zone, the FF entered the kind of lively, fun, fascinating world that we've seen in the comic books, the film could work - despite the other major flaws.

From what I've heard about Ant-Man they pull off the wacky dimension thing with ease (and so will Dr. Strange)

I agree, it's just sad. The FF deserve better than this. Look at how Fox is treating Deadpool and XMA. If FF had half of that kind of dedication put to it, this could've been a great film.

You haven't seen the film yet. Watch the film then judge it.
