Fant4stic: Reborn! - - - - - Part 39

[wobbly]

I mean Marvel got lucky with Rocket and Groot but it's only so far you can go with comic book stuff in live action before it just becomes to much.

They also had a giant red Celestial destroying a planet, not to mention them running around for a spell in 'Knowhere', a giant celestial skull floating in space.

Galactus can be done alright. Luck has nothing to do with it.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

So it's official, Tim Story's Fantastic Four costuming is vastly superior to the new version's.

Adding another property will have interference with their plans again.
Much as I love the thought of a well made FF movie, I prefer they don't add more interference to their plans.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Shadowboxer, it's a bit of a myopic viewpoint IMO.

Galatcus is way bigger than that. In Marvel VS Capcom 3 he couldn't even fix the game screen, only half his body was showing.

That Celestial is actually way bigger than Galactus from MvC3. Only half his body was showing on the screen? That's cute. Do you see that building next to him? Now imagine how small a human person would look next to him.

Galactus size is variable. He shrinkes as he hungers, to mantain his energies.

And then there's this.

I wouldn't Marvel to push back the movies starring the black guy and the woman again that's for sure.

 

[Eddie]

Unless he's a ****ing cloud.

That's the beauty of it. Marvel Studios could put Brad Garrett in purple sweatpants and a hoodie and they'd still have done Galactus better.

I remember looking online on IMDB and when the context was about fan's complaints, some goofball dismissed them all and refered to the concerns/complaints voiced by the fans as "it's the mouse that roared". (IE, loud but in the minority).

Well, I guess that "mouse" is biting the hell out of Fox's butt.

As I said once before, a very successful advertising professional once told me "market to the enthusiasts, and the population will follow. The enthusiast dictates the market".

I easily think this can go for movies too, you make a very good fantasy film and if the fantasy fans love it, it can spell over to GenPop. If you make a fantasy movie for "everyone", you're not marketing to the enthusiast and you can risk being lukewarm.

Not always a hard and fast rule, but it should be a rule to keep in mind if you have any sense in this business.

actually he's not... galactus can sorta change sizes...

he's depicted large enough to palm the earth like a basket ball... the size of sky-scrapers.. to even a much more manageable size...

If I were them, I'd save the FF for after Thanos has been defeated. Just have the FF return from outer space, potentially already with Franklin, who was conceived and born during their grand adventure, and come with a warning that Galactus or Annihilus is coming. Or maybe start smaller and have them warn the heroes of the Skrulls instead.

Soon it will be official that Tim Story's films are more critically acclaimed than this one.

Just let that sentence sink in for a while.

I don't they'd change anything planned until after Infinity War (so, perhaps appropriately, not until 'Phase 4'). Spidey was an exception and they'd have been insane to pass up that opportunity.

Honestly, I will wait another 10 years before even introducing them to the public again.

I'm still going to see it this weekend, probably be a matinee and I'll decide after if there is ANYTHING that can be salvageable for a sequel. Otherwise Fox should give it back to Marvel or work with Marvel by sharing the ALL the FF characters in their universe and then come up with another film in 10 years or so.

 

[Eddie]

They could do a new FF in November 2019 without shifting their plans at all.

Yup.

Indeed.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Yeah i wouldn't be mad if galactus wasn't the size is in the comics. And when you say "eating planets" of course it sounds cheesy. But change that to "draining the life force from terrestrial worlds" and all of the sudden it sounds way better. Bringing comicbook elements to life is all about how you spin it, treat it seriously and don't flinch. Thats why GotG and Antman were so well received, marvel didn't flinch. Same could be said about DP, it looks promising because those involved weren't afraid to tackle it head on.

It's definitively true in this time, for comic book movies. Casual movie fans more and more concern themselves with the source material, and consult comic fans stuff like "is it true that Thor can fight Hulk?", and such. I can't count how many times people have asked if Thanos was made for the movies, or if he was a "real" villain. "Real = exists in the comics" is a thing now.

 

[sleekstereo]

I'm a little concern how this may affect the Marvel brand and comic book films moving forward.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

It's such a horrifying thought. All they had to do is make the film mildly competent.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Just got back from seeing this. Overall, the movie isn't bad. It isn't good either. It was just mediocre and disappointing.

That seems to be the consensus

2 years later, Daredevil is one of the flag titles of Netflix, and FF is looking like the biggest disaster since Catwoman.

Way to go, Fox

It's considered more along the lines of a movie that worked half the time and not the other. Catwoman worked none of the time.

Hell...the Corman movie a masterpiece compared to this....he at least got the basics right.

You've seen this?

So it's official, Tim Story's Fantastic Four costuming is vastly superior to the new version's.

The costuming for this is more detailed and complex than simple unitards.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

Well there is one super hero movie this is pretty much universally loved and is sort of spiritual Fantastic Four movie. Pixar's The Incredibles which also came out a couple of months before the first Tim Story FF movie.

 

[Zarex]

I'm a little concern how this may affect the Marvel brand and comic book films moving forward.

Marvel's brand will be fine, though the studio that brought you Days of Future Past may have been dinged a bit.

To me, this is a huge win for fans of comic book movies. Trank and Kinberg made all the wrong choices and, quite inexplicably, aggressively worked to alienate everyone with the slightest bit of affection for Marvel's First Family. The fact that they are now paying the price is a good thing.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Looks like someone scratched all the paint from a crash test dummy.

The movie's such a wreck they should've named him... Crash Test Doomy

(I'll let myself out now)
