The FFINO ZONE - Part 3

[ThePhantasm]

Can someone tell me: when Thing throws the tank head at the soldiers in the film, does it explode and disappear like it did in all the trailers?

I was watching tv last night when an ad popped up for the Fantastic 4 movie and the lead in was a picture of the Marvel logo, no Fox logo, and then the next words to display on the screen with narrator's voice, 'From the studio that brought you X-Men DoFP...' Sucks that they can say stuff like that. I know every studio does this sort of thing but it almost makes me want to not like X-Men because of that. It was a sad moment.

That's clearly deception! I wish Marvel/Disney could sue for that.

they despise marvel yet they'll use their brand recognition to try and trick people into see their crappy half-assed excuse of a rights grab movie. Fox is the scum of the earth.

Fox also had radio commercials that mentioned Marvel but not Fox, in an effort to confuse the listeners thinking that the same studio who made AOU and Ant-Man made FFINO as well. It's an underhanded tactic for sure.

There's professional armwrestling on ESPN right now. There's a far larger crowd at the event than any screening of Fantastic Four is getting.

Deception for sure but I don't think it's entirely illegal. Marvel agreed to let Fox purchase the rights to FF, so using the Marvel logo isn't against the rules. It's definitely a deceit though by leaving the Fox logo out and only mentioning the successful DoFP. Marvel is probably face palming right now and wishing they could sue or at least just get their logo off this hot mess.

It's disgraceful. I hope the GA doesn't fall for this crap.

I thought I had read someone else say.....that scene was seen on a video screen being watched by someone, not on the full theater screen as an actual moment. Is that true?

And from the look of things, the tactic backfired

If Friday's BO is anything to go by, they ain't. Seriously I think the majority of the GA is savvy enough to note the diff between Marvel Studios publicity and... whatever this one was.

Yes, the government types are all watching surveillance footage of the thing when they show that. They cut away from it real quick to hide the crappy cgi.

 

[SyntaxError]

Well, Marvel probably benefited slightly from X-Men: DOFP's success in terms of brand recognition. Thats considered by the GP as a Marvel movie too. Goes both ways I guess.

Don't think Marvel will take a hit from this; their brand is strong with good audience reception for AOU and Ant-Man (both A). Though I am pretty pissed by Fox's deception and conduct.

I saw the Fox logo, it flashes right before the Marvel logo.

I just saw the numbers for Friday. Awesome. I hope MI retains #1.

Really? I saw that ad from start to finish and there was no Fox logo.

 

[Docker2.0]

I think we don't give the GA enough credit to know the difference between superhero studios by now. They now know that Marvel tends to cross polute their franchises together in every movie by mentioning it or something. Where as Fox...........eh. DC just got started.......I honestly think the GA can tell the difference now.

Some spots have it, some don't.

Ok good. I thought I was losing it for a second. I'm certain there was no Fox logo in the ad I saw last night.

Yes and no. It was DOFP that started the wars between Marvel and Fox, when after announcing Quicksilver for AoU, Fox had the script change from using Juggernaut to break Magneto out to using QS.

 

[Web-Head]

Could be. I know a saw it but for a brief second and if you weren't looking, you'd miss it. The Marvel logo was definitely longer.

Thanks.......so, at least 2 of the "money shots" from the commercials to get people excited for the action (Thing dropping from chopper and Thing destroying tank) are either completely missing or put on a smaller computer screen and are not actual movie set pieces of action.

Wow.

This movie is literally so bad that I can't keep up with lowering my expectations for it. Every time I hear something new about it -- it's content, it's score, it's box office -- it's even worse than I've imagined.
