Fant4stic *OFFICIAL* Fantastic 4 (2015) Positivity Thread

[Loden Greatstorm]

This thread is to discuss the new Fantastic 4 movie in a "Negativity Free Zone"

I for one are really looking forward to the movie and I am sure many, many other people are as well. 17 days to go...

 

[DarthSkywalker]

We had one of these before. I wonder how many forums need a thread like this.

We have? Couldn't find it anywhere. I guess things around here haven't been positive for a long time......

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah, this is definitely the second version of this thread at least. Things got crazy when the filming date kept on getting pushed back.

 

[Sleiek]

Haha. Wish this thread existed months ago. Now it is kinda useless because most of the positive users don't comment in FF subforum anymore.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Too be fair, the reason why the positive users wouldn't come here is because they are quite outnumbered, and don't take it well.

And a good chunk of them recently left to avoid spoilers or seeing too much.


...why they'd be worried about that with THIS movie, I'll never know.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

It's nice to have a thread where there is no hate involved.

Hate, or honesty? No one is being disingenuous over how they feel.

As far I know, that's not the reason why people don't come here.

I have been talking to a few of them. They just don't like this environment.

It's not like most people want to hate this, there's just little to be positive about for most.

[Sleiek]

I think I know where this is going. Perhaps this is why positive threads don't work. Minority is minority and they go through things.

*cough*Foxfanboys*cough*

Haha. I believed you.

My positive comments would be that I like the actors and from the clips, trailers, and interviews I have seen they seem to have great chemistry together. I like that Trank wanted to go for a distinct style/feel for the film although I think he could have still achieved that while staying more faithful to the source with much more positive results.

Great post. Welcome to the F4 forums.

The mods have already closed a thread like this. Did you make sure to get approval first?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Considering it seemed to a spur of the moment thing, I doubt it.

I hope this film is awesome since it will give Fox leverage to get Marvel to stop playing hardball and work out a similar deal that they worked out with Sony and Universal.

IMO, the best way to merge universes is to do House of M at the tail end of Phase 4. Have Doom tempt Wanda with a world where her brother is alive and have her remake reality so the Avengers are now in a world with the FF and the past and present X-Men where Magneto rules the world with Doom looking to usurp.

The end result is that there's now a new universe when reality is restored with only a few continuity fixes and for the most part, all of the First Class and MCU timelines happened. We get Fox-Men Quicksilver and MCU Scarlet Witch.

 

[Sleiek]

Wow, you are onto something there. Intriguing.

Right so instead of trolling here DrZ went on the Ant Man board to tell us Marvel fans should be glad it failed.

 

[Dasher10]

Also, when reality is restored, Norman Osborn is director of SHIELD, The Negative Zone has opened up into our universe and Red Skull is Germany's representative on the World Security Council.

Phase 4 should be a breather episode where classic stories get retold and we see more character development, films are more stand alone and important side characters are introduced.

Phase 5 is Dark Reign where the stakes have never been higher, the villains have won and we see the heroes holding on for dear life against impossible odds.

Fox will maintain creative control but Marvel will have to approve all scripts and casting choices.

Phase 5 films will include

Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation
Spider-Man: The Night Gwen Stacy Died
Iron Man: World's Mot Wanted
Captain America: Red Zone
Hulk: Code Red
Black Panther: Enemy of the State
Captain Marvel: War of the Marvels
Thunderbolts: Dark Avengers
Doctor Strange: Darkhold
Thor: Gods and Men
Mighty Avengers: Siege

And then culminate with West Coast Avengers: Kang Dynasty where after Norman Osborn is unseated at the end of Siege, Kang conquers the world, being yet another side-effect of Wanda's tampering with reality.

Hah. I haven't posted here in years, and I dropped in to see if there were any people who were actually looking forward to this film. Judging by the trailers I've seen so far, I find it to be an interesting take on the franchise.

I'm a bit taken aback by the sheer amount of negativity towards this movie from posters on this message board, as I don't find the movie to look that bad at ALL. Even though I'm getting burnt out on superhero films (thanks, Avengers 2), I'll actually be watching this one, as the FF was one of my favorite comics growing up. I'm not a super diehard must-be-exactly-like-the-comics fanboy, nor have I ever been, even while I was growing up. I always knew that films need to adapt the content in a different way and "ground" it to a certain degree in order to make it a bit more believable, and I remain open to different interpretations of classic characters.

Maybe it will be good, maybe it will be terrible, who knows. I remain open, with my expectations well-managed. Just wish other people would tone the hatred down, as it probably scares away those who would actually like to talk about some of the things they like without being shouted down.

Just my 2 cents.
