It's Clobbering Time! The Ben Grimm/ Thing moments we want to see in the MCU

Four words: Super Hero Poker Party.

 

I agree with just about everything in the first post.

As for Aunt Petunia, I don't think we should ever see her. We should wonder if she's even real or just someone he's made up for fun.

As for things I'd like to see, they're too numerous to mention.

He should definitely have a much more refined wit than we saw in the other films. He should be able to hold his own with Johnny so it's not like he's the straight-man.

Physically, I want to see him move with force and power and strength. He should take big, powerful strides and lunge when he punches. That was a huge disappointment of the Story films - the rubber suit make him slow and awkward and nothing like Kirby drew:








Obviously, I want to see him fight the Hulk:




And I want to see him not afraid to charge into things that he should be intimidated by - too stubborn to realize how outmatched he is:






And afraid of other things he shouldn't be:

 

As Willie said, Ben will smack Galactus in his big ugly face. But the supernatural gives him the heebie jeebies.



One of my favorite Ben Grimm moments was from an early MTIO, in which he places an actual monetary value on the question "How can I ever repay you?". I was primarily a DC reader at the time and it was a shock seeing such a brutish, monstrous looking and crude hero.

 

Just have him yell “It’s Clobberin’ time” without it coming from a traumatic childhood and I’ll be happy.

 

I'm kinda hoping they don't go for the full motion capture/CGI for him this time around, didn't like how fake he looked in the 2015 FF & I wasn't a fan of how fake Korg looked in Ragnarok who is almost an identical sort of character.

I'd like to see them go the same sort of route that Suicide Squad went with Killer Croc with the practical effects dressed up with minor CG, lighting & angles. It would perhaps also help separate him a little from Kronans.

If they could make him look somewhere in between Thor's height & Korg's, but a thicker more hulking rock like physique, I'd like that.

 

What Dark Raven and Willie Lumpkin have said!

 

I was a little disappointed with Korg, but I believe/hope they can do better.

The design of the 2015 Thing was absolutely, inexcusably terrible, but (as much as I hate to admit it) I actually think some elements of the animation were better than Korg, and he did at least have the appearance of a rocky creature.

But I have a hard time imagining a practical version that wouldn't have its own issues and limitations, so I think that primarily CGI is the way to go - but I do think it needs to be better than Korg and the Fant4stic version.

And I believe for a character of that importance, they'll put the effort in and do it right.

 

These images make me feel like it can be done - just make him look like the thing instead of this mess:

 

I loved the 2015 design. I thought it looked great for the most part.

 

Fox gives him lips, makes his mouth too small, his nose too big and his brow nearly non-existent.

Plus they gave him too many fingers, rocks sticking out everywhere at odd angles, an oddly shaped body and no pants.

Fortunately, that enables Marvel to just make him look like the Thing and he'll look much better and different than anything we've seen before.

 

hahahaha! He's gonna look like a rock hard turd no matter what cuz that's what he looks like. Its what makes him ugly. It's not like he's designed to be a beautiful statue hahahaaha! Get real man.
Trank's design was dope and making Thing look more comic book-y is only gonna make him look more fake.

The Thing looks like a rock hard yellowish/orange piece of diseased Doo Doo and you think the lack of lips is gonna make him look better?....bahahahahahahahahahaha! Hook me up with your weed brah!

 

There's so much wrong with this sentence...

 

Did you just wanna complain about my grammar or discuss?
I'm cool with whatever

 

Thing giving a short runt of a Wolverine the old "Fastball Special"...



really, anyone an everyone doing a "Fastball Special" with Wolverine would be great lol

 

ya, ya. I need to smoke what you smoke to understand what a walking piece of doo doo "LOOKS" like so where the weed at brah?

 

The Thing looks like this:















Not this:





To call the Trank design terrible is an understatement. It's not even close.

 

Get ILM to do the effects for The Thing.
