The FFINO ZONE - Part 1

[Willie Lumpkin]

Ugh, Thread Manager has to lock yet another thread?!?

This particular thread will probably be on "Part 127" by mid August.

Sue might not even be her real name but something Franklin Storm gave her. What names do girls have from Kosovo?

The internet tells me Gordana is a girl's name there.

Kate Mara doesn't look like a Gordana...

Kate Mara doesn't look like a Gordana...

But then she doesn't look like a Sue either.

Well, they wanted someone to have an Eastern European background and, as we know, there are no Fantastic Four related characters that fit that description.

Yeah, but you'd have to read hundreds of FF comics before you chance upon any characters from Eastern Europe and you still might come up empty.

 

[Krystal]

And Ben Grimm's sex-criminal teacher can be the gritty, re-imagined Alicia Masters!

So she made Ben her puppet? Oh that poor helpless child. Will he be pushed around forever?

What are you implying?

I spit Coke out my nose when I read that......and I hadn't drank any Coke for a couple of hours....so, EWWWWWWWWWWW.

 

[Dasher10]

I just, how did they idea even enter Kinberg's head?

"Hmm, let's make Sue Storm a Kosovo war orphan!"

Talk about obscure.

So Josh Trank decided that there were no Fantastic four characters with a background related to the breakup of Yugoslavia during the 90s so he'd have to invent one? Has this man ever even heard of Doctor Doom before being attached to direct? Sue does not = Doom. I repeat. Sue Storm is NOT Doom. Sue is Sue. Doom is Doom. I am Groot.

 

[Quasar]

Planet Zero gives them the powers they most want. Ben was thinking of the mean gym teachers, wishing he could have an invulnerable body and no thing that could be touched.

Fixed.

 

[Dasher10]

Fixed.

No, in a perfect world he'd call himself Doom but that's beside the point. Sue should not have Victor's origin and Victor shouldn't have Sue's.

After visiting Planet Zero, Sue comes away with zero visibility, Reed with zero rigidity, Johnny with zero incombustibility and Ben comes away with zero thing.

Goddammit that's funny.

 

[MadVillainy]

Im late but the dialogue in the clip is so damn cliche and lame.

But watching the clip reminds me of one of the reasons why I dont watch clips. They're edited so poorly.

 

[ThePhantasm]

where is the clip?

 

[MadVillainy]

I saw it on Yahoo. On YT it was taken down

[ThePhantasm]

It is poorly edited indeed, some of the lines don't match up.

It wasn't a bad clip, but not much exciting about it. Also it still irks me that Sue doesn't go with them, but that this is an all-male venture.

It's almost like she's invisible to them...

I can't wait to listen to what explanation they make up to keep her from going.

 

[Eddie]

Sue not going on the mission is bull****. They can pretend they're being "progressive" with this film all they want, but Sue not going on the dangerous mission while a male character that really shouldn't have does... that's crap. Yeah, let's take a great female co-lead that risked her life to go on a dangerous mission in the sixties and make her mission control in the new version. Great job.

Fox has a bad history of female characters in their comic book films.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Is it just me or does this movie feel like the most artifical marvel movie ever? Like it's something that I have to remind myself even exists, it's kind of surreal lol
Looking at the posters it still just feels really, off. Like no one is really trying.

Storm was pretty lousy in the first X-Men for sure (didn't notice that one as much as a kid, really noticed it as I got older), and Dragonball Evolution, while it did prominently feature three female characters, butchered them. Bulma got some ridiculously out of place Lara Croft influences, Chi Chi was the sex prize for Goku (a character who, in the source, married her due to a promise he made when he thought marriage was food), and Mai went from fun comic relief to generic henchman.

I can see your point. They have underwhelmed in that department.

Some of the TV movies were pretty bad, both overall and as adaptations. Theatrical, though? Yeah, this may actually be the biggest departure from the source material.
