Old MCU Fantastic Four Discussion Thread

[David H.]

Nah. Have Reed and Sue around the same age.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Well Byrne had Superman and Big Barda make a porno together, and She-Hulk subjected to sadistic bodily probing and forced to strip in front of SHIELD. So he wrote some weird **** but it was still somehow approved.

So it was Byrne who made Reed chase after a minor? It wasn't from an earlier story or writer in the 60s?

Didn't you also point out he draws all his characters with the same face? Lmao.

Logged onto my Marvel Unlimted app and seen they are now highlighting "The Best Of Fantastic Four" on the homepage. Good timing

Yeah he only has one face. Reed, Johnny, Superman, Professor X, Wolverine, etc all look like the same person in disguise. Same with Sue, Jean Grey, Kitty Pryde, Storm, She-Hulk etc. He's the most cookie cutter artist around.

Also, I think Blunt is a bad choice for Sue. I just can't warm up to the idea of her. Much prefer Lily James, Allison Williams or Blake Lively.

Im gonna need ya'll to put some respeck on John Byrne's name. He was one of the best artists to ever draw the X-men

I know she was playing a part but I can’t look at Allison Williams the same after Get Out. Lol

Blunt has more range than any of those picks, not that they’re bad in any way. Either her or Naomie Harris are my picks.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

She has the look for Sue Storm-Richards, but Blake Lively can't carry a movie like this or be the diplomat that Invisible Woman is. She could work as Alicia Masters though. Being blind can't be that much of an acting stretch.

If only this was a few years ago, Sarah Michelle Gellar would've killed it as the Invisible Woman.

Lmao bro it's kinda true. Tell me Johnny and Reed don't look like brothers.

If it's any consolation, Jim Lee's girls all look alike too and I love that man's work.

I saw Naomi Watts as the ideal Sue once. Stil, actually, but I know that’s not going to happen.

Blunt may be a better actor but that doesn't mean she's a better pick for Sue. She is just too hardened and tough imo.

And Allison's role in Get Out proved she has range as an actor. A crazy amount of range, in fact. Rose was a pretty complex character

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

She would've done well too.

Damn what happened to Naomi Watts? I lost track of her after King Kong.

She was in Twin Peaks: The Return!

But, yeah, I can’t say there’s much of interest there. Except for Eastern Promises, I guess.

If I sounded like saying Allison didn’t have range, I apologize. It was just a minor joke. Heck, you could take it as a compliment. She was so good, I kinda think she IS Rose irl!

I’ve seen both Harris and Blunt be hardened and nurturing, sometimes in the same film. Just in my experiences.

 

[David H.]

Blunt played those aspects pretty well in A Quiet Place. Hell, she’s Mary Poppins, ya’ll! Talk about a nurturing figure.

 

[Xeno]

Apparently modern Marvel was creeped out by it too bc I just found this

John Byrne came up with a lot of seriously misguided crap during is run on the book. He thoughtfully included a Raggedy Ann doll in that panel, just to emphasize the fact that Sue was a child. Byrne was okay with that, but Wanda and Vision being married and having kids pissed him off. I can't with that guy.

 

[Dark Raven]

They don't look like brothers. They look like the equivalent of Eddie Murphy playing all of the different roles in his movies.

I don't know Allison Williams. I like Blake Lively for the role too. I think my top pick is Lily James now though.

This. It's not just about whether you can act the part. It's also how you look and the natural warmth you project. Lily James has that far more in spades than Blunt.

Well Blunt might've played a nurturing figure, but that doesn't mean she necessarily comes across as one. And Mary Poppins is more of a prim and proper English nanny, which is not what Sue is.

Blunt just has a colder look to her face, which is why she would've been awesome as Black Widow. She was my top choice for the role instead of ScarJo. Now just because I think she would've been good for Natasha doesn't mean I think she would've been good for Sue.

Lily James has a softer and more approachable look.

I don't need to see Krasinski and Blunt act opposite each other as a couple in FF. Yes, they are married, but does that mean they can only star with each other? Just because I might think Krasinski is good for Reed doesn't mean we need to get his wife along for the ride too.

It's fair to say that faces are to Byrne as feet are to Liefeld: they're his Achilles' heel.

 

[marcvader]

Loved Byrne but he is a cooky grouch. His runs on XMen, Superman, Fantastic 4, and Alpha Flight to name few are some of the best in comics history.

 

[Dark Raven]

Liefeld has problem with all muscle groups. Pecs stand out in particular as not being his strong point.

Hell, he also has problems with faces, too! Grinning teeth, squinting, no irises, etc. The man can’t draw.

 

[wobbly]

Liefeld is a thousand times worse than Bryne on his worst day.
