"Identify Thine Self" Part 2
Hype Forum Yearbook
When this forum debuted over two years ago, a band of users formed the nucleus of what would become one the Hype's coolest and most passionately diverse boards. Several mainstays made a serious impact in these parts i.e. Hunter Rider, JMAfan, Iron Maiden, Surfergirl, Malus, Herr Logan, Willie Lumpkin, Captain Stacy, Ratcrawler, Zer00, Grog, CoolAsIce, Kmack, Dragon, GoblinScrier, Fantastic-Boy, VictorVonDoomX, Franklin Richards, HeadOnColliders, SaintofKillers, Wilhelm Scream, Threshold, Retroman, The Milkman, The Ioan Sisters, CCONN, The Julian Fan-Band, Lockjaw, Dog Lips, Killgore, Obi-Wan, Wobbly, RedisNotBlue...just to name a few. Many of us were older (in our 30s and up), but we also had a nice balance of youngins in the mix too.
Looking back, this place teemed with debate over issues ranging from the importance of the Thing's brow, to the ethnicity of the actors, to all things Doom. We had fights. We made up. We had laughs. We shed tears. Yet despite our differerences in opinions--one thing united all of us: our desire to get a good F4 film.
Well, my fellow Hypesters--once again, here we are: at the threshold of the next Fantastic Four film production process...are you ready? Tracking the first film was like riding a rollercoaster--and now we're mounting up the next hill. Once again, time is going to fly around here (and drag on at other times) as we wait for our beloved four to return next summer. And once again we'll be disecting each new tidbit, making polls, and musing over production stills. There will be much to discuss indeed.
So with all that sappiness said (and in keeping with 2004's original "Identify Thine Self" thread), let's reintroduce ourselves so that both old and new forum members can get to know the new power players for 2006/2007.
I'll introduce myself...

Who Is Your Fave Fantastic Four Character(s): Though I love them all, I have a slightly greater affinity for the Invisible Woman and The Human Torch.
How Long Have You Been Reading Fantastic Four Comics? Started collecting around 1981.
What Are Your Biggest Concerns About The Fantastic Four Sequel: There are several, but my biggest revolves around possible studio micromanagement of the project, production timing, and not giving the director and writers greater creative control.
What You Look Forward To Seeing In This Sequel: Everything! I want to see the Family of Four evolve on all levels. I want to see Doctor Doom finally reach the full glory he was despicably denied in the first film. And I'm really looking forward to finally seeing the Silver Surfer in action. So far, much of what I've heard sounds good.
