I'm honestly surprised nobody ever made Raven from DC a pajeet or a paki since she already has the bindi and the hijab/burka/whatever. Though I guess that would clash with her being named (((Rachel Roth))). I'd be afraid to speak this into being but I know we're never getting a decent adaptation at this point so who cares.

They would be better off using Jinx who is already a Indian, has connection to the Teen Titans and who has magical abilities like Raven. The only major downside would be that she's a rather unknown character.

Race is gonna be the least of our concerns once they adapt the plot to modern sensitivities. Wait for them to make it all about how hated the mutants are once we're meant to feel sorry for Phoenix attempting to destroy more worlds after they try to adapt that storyline again to show how strong women are.

I have no hope of them adapting any of the X-Men well to the point where I almost want Doomsday to fail so that Marvel doesn't feel very confident going into the X-Men mythos. They really shouldn't play up the whole mutant hate thing too much. I know most people don't read comics, but after Krakoa it's going to be very hard to feel sympathetic towards mutants after the way they treated humans.

Generic world peace had been achieved. Ironically enough, before they managed to wean themselves off of coal power somehow. Reed Richards can invent a way to teleport a fucking planet, and a faster than light spacecraft in a few months, but nuclear fusion is still perpetually five years away. Funny.

They claimed to have read the comics especially Hickman's run.

Though from the reviews that I am getting about the characters in the movie.

They are nowhere close to how Hickman wrote the team.

Reed is like a chud nerd and the Thing likes to sit back on the couch and have a beer, and Sue isn't the type to just faint given in Hickman's run, she managed to rip a hole through a Celestial and still be conscious.

 

[MrJokerRager]

Which begs the question of why he didn't do that for any of the other kids on the planet but anyway... Yes, the FF4 had essentially overcome all problems between Reed's brain and Sue's apparent diplomatic brilliance.

Because they fucked up by not introducing the team earlier.

The comic book Civil War event.

Unlike the movie version where they show Iron Man willing to use violence against Cap to enforce some UN Mandate.

In the comics, it was Reed Richards who came up with a prison in another dimension along with a batshit insane Thor clone and mind control devices to help Iron Man against Cap.

And Invisible Woman basically turns against her husband to stop batshit insane clone Thor from killing off the resistance team.

Now they got to half ass a way to make the FF4 relevant to the average pleb whose only impression is Jessica Alba in her bra and panties from the Fox days and some random movie in 2015 that has been long forgotten.

Oops! All darkies.

I decided to go and watch it today.

Pretty much average but played safe and sterile.

Had potential like the space stuff, which reminded me of the first Guardians of the Galaxy, but they didn't do much with it.

Or could have deported Galactus to the Negative Zone.

Reed Richards, following the comic lore, would have most likely decided to destroy Galactus and figured out a plan to end his existence rather than move the Earth.

Sue was okayish but could have shown her nose bleeding when she pushes herself hard.

The Thing is just a cuck compared to being a beer drinking working class type of stiff.

Johnny being smart, was unbelievable since he is like a action movie star model comparable to Tom Cruise.

Well they showed a tough pregnancy scene for Sue having Franklin, can't wait for the next one with Valeria which involved Doom preventing a stillborn and childbirth death..

My friend dragged me to see it tonight. I actually enjoyed it, but I think that's more because it was more or less its own thing and not *really* part of the MCU.

Of course, the retro future universe doesn't make sense when I think about it, but honestly the longer comics and their movies go on the more and more that happens in general.

If I'm being honest with myself, I think my only real problems with it is my general fatigue of the super hero genre and that it felt kind of rushed.

I wouldn't say it's rigorously Sixties. The TV spots and such look more 50s to me in some ways, just in colour.

There's a romanticisation of the 1960s. It's understandable given the social liberalisation (attitudes, fashion, music, austerity rolling back et al) but becomes an oversimplification almost to the extent of 60s good, 50s and 70s bad. Thing is; when people go for that "retro" style/attitude they often end up with that 50s aesthetic and that's both more iconic and resonates better with the the general public (and has for a very long time).

By way of a few examples we have the Fallout scenario, an immensely popular 50s inspired setting which resonated with gamers and more recently (even if I don't like it) a more general streaming audience. Madmen became a general cultural phenomenon (when TV shows could still do that) with an extremely strong stylised 50s aesthetic and that aesthetic played a large part in the success. When it got to the 60s; not so much though it can fairly be argued that the show was on a storytelling decline then in any event. Even the posterchild of 60s futurism, the Jetsons (often referenced re F4)ain't all that 60s. Set in 2062 and first aired in 1962 so obviously only had the first two to three years of the 60s to draw upon as a matter of simple chronology. But more than that, the family structure and roles, the morality and culture generally; it's 50s retro futurism americana to it's core.

That drop is the actual numbers. The big ones for the first week is the tickets Disney bought. That's, to me, the likely explanation if these numbers are true.

We live in a time where a DC movie has made more than a Marvel movie. What strange times.

the one who's house we usually go to after, has a personal vendetta against Pedro Pascal, so I've been tasked with finding a camrip because he refuses to see a movie with him in the theater and they (cams) all had fucked up sound as of a couple days ago. I am not caught up to the thread so I dont know what anyone else thought of it but if it's failing or whatever box office wise we should have a nice empty theater shot one in a few days if there isnt one already, either way we're watching it thursday night bad cam or good cam.

usually they put the teaser in the middle of the credits, not at the beginning of the story

Good to see people are finally getting sick of Hollywood's rampant Pedrophilia.

now I'm imagining some HUD home from the seventies with a bunch of ghetto thugs sitting around watching capeshit and nobody's noticed that big guy in the back with the green cloak and the metal mask

Is it just me, or did they kinda regress in terms of character appearances.

Doctor Doom looks like absolute dogshit in that scene, something a cosplayer would wear rather than from an actual scene from the MCU.

“Given the quality of the Marvel Disney+ output has been incredibly mediocre, it’s dragged the entire brand down and diluted its creative,” said a producer with franchise experience. “People don’t care now.”

Just wait until we see the full design looks something like this.

After X-Men 97, a lot of people not only rewatched the 90s cartoon, but the movies. Thing is, it was the Fox movies. Then they had D&W bringing the mutants back. Feige doesn't yet have his own mutants ready and rumors say he's mad because of it.

Back in 2000, I'm sure most non comic readers were still dragging from the success of the og cartoon. People forget how popular it was. A good cartoon or TV show can help people to go to the movies.

How does Doom look bad when you only see a green cloak.

Though the mask is a meme and surprised Doom goes for Franklin since only Galactus in that universe knows who he is.

And no mention of muties or Spider-Man so it seems like the FF4 are the sole superheros of Earth.

And ballsy of Doom to be in the same room as a pissed off Sue, who has ripped his armor apart in the comic runs a lot of times.
