When someone decides that it's time for the FF to return to the big screen, I think that it should be done in the manner of a 50s/60s alien/monster sci-fi film. If I don't have your approval yet, please let me continue. The world of the Fantastic Four is full of characters that frequent the pages such as The Watcher, Galactus, The Skrulls, Mole Man & The Moloids. These are characters in the vein of the aforementioned genres. The FF themselves consist of a scientist that can elongate his entire body, and even form shapes, a superhuman rock-man, a woman who becomes invisible, and a boy whose body becomes engulfed in flames. These are elements that fit in those genres.
I would take Jack Kirby's artwork as a template for the look and all, with the main antagonist being the Mole Man leading an invasion of Moloids thru New York City, and would even have the monster depicted so iconically on the cover of the first issue with a shot that re-enacts it.
If there's anything The Avengers has taught is, it's that we as fans prefer the fantasy aspect of the comic books. Nolan's Batman world is great, and The Dark Knight was very successful, but there's only so far his "realistic" take can take the characters.
Now, I wouldn't go as far as doing shotty editing and such, but more just the style and tone, kinda similar to the first Hellboy. I'd even recommend someone like Guillermo Del Toro for a project like this.
Also, for those wondering, I would not begin with an origin. I would only go thru that in flashbacks for now. Also, can we please get a Sue & Johnny that aren't so close in age?
Well, that's my proposal. Input and criticism are welcomed.
