>Despite Fox's initial insistence that the Fantastic Four sequel was moving forward despite the box office failure of the first film, Fox has now officially removed the Fantastic Four sequel from their release schedule.
>Fantastic Four 2 was originally scheduled for a June 9, 2017 release date, even before the first film hit theaters. With virtually all superhero movies performing well at the box office recently, Fox probably felt confident at the time that Fantastic Four would follow suit. However, Fantastic Four wound up being the rare superhero movie flop. Fantastic Four only grossed $56 million domestically and $167 million worldwide on a production budget of $120 million.
>It's unclear if Fox removing Fantastic Four 2 from their schedule means the film is indefinitely canceled or if it will be rescheduled for a later date to allow more time for Fox to plan a strategy for what comes next.
In local news, water remains wet.
Just once, just once, I'd like these studios to just admit they made a bad movie.
I get wanting to save face, but don't piss in my face and tell me it's raining.
Thank god. Im not really suprised exactly but I was worried the sequel would still happen

Guess the next time Fox can ruin FF is 2020, or whenever they need to have another film worked on so they can keep the license just to spite Disney.

They don't need to do anything to retain the rights until 2025.
This just proves people still see these movies because they enjoy them and are generally well made. Truly bad ones dont get seen on name alone.

M8 this movie had a truly poisonous production history that everyone on the Internet knew about.

All they need is the Villains really.
The villains are fucking great.
I went in expecting a huge turd and what I got wasn't even as bad as Iron Man 2.
Apart from just being kinda bland what provokes so much hate for this movie?
I almost think it could have been good if they'd amped up the horror aspects more.
>>77678437
Because it fucks the mythos so hard its asshole is now in its throat.
it was also just an excuse for Trank to make Chronicle 2.
>>77678422
Sure, I'm just saying the production issues were very public. Movie turned out pretty entertaining at least.
>>77678437
Because it's barely a movie. Fox cut so deep with the production the movie becomes 90 minutes of people sitting in rooms talking and watching the Saga Of Kate Mara's Wig. There's no character arcs or emotional resonance because it was all cut out in the editing room.
I'm not saying whatever Trank's original cut was would have been great, but it's at least a movie. I felt like Tranktastic was a collection of scenes where people talk in cramped rooms and then they get into the single worst superhero fight scene of the past 20 years, it's barely anything.

This. Not even Doom really, but the Skrulls, Galactus, and Annihilus would be much needed additions to the MCU.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Kang might be under that umbrella too
Fox will be okay because they have other stuff to rely on besides Fantastic Four, like X-Men.
Marvel will be okay because they've steadily been adapting to not working with Dr. Doom and any other FF-related character.
Trank will be okay when public memory fades and people forget how much of a douche/whiner/scapegoat he was. Or he'll quit movies forever.
I will not be okay because Kirby/Lee FF remains my all time favorite run of Marvel comics and I cry bitch tears erry day arr day b/c the Galactus Trilogy will never be done justice.
>>77678265
If it makes you feel any better Marvel Comics hasn't held the rights to these particular movies since 1984.
>>77678312
It's a FOX movie, have you seen the stinkers they've put out this year?
>>77678466
Which he could never do at FOX because he doesn't have the rights.
>>77678541
>There's no character arcs or emotional resonance because it was all cut out in the editing room.
I'm not aware that we have anything but Trank's word anything else was ever filmed.
>>77678595
???
He filmed that scene to showcase the ability of IMAX filmstock to other directors. He'd never have found the funding to do it any other way (IMAX is fantastically expensive compared to 35mm or digital, with negligible benefits to the finished product).
Apparently the six people he actually made it for viewed it and said "yeah, maybe, if I can convince the studio to spring for IMAX filmstock". Because even if Nolan were capable of making a normal length movie, he couldn't have afforded to do it with IMAX, and neither can anybody else.
I'm sure from a technical stand he's very satisfied with it, though it is of course garbage.The reason he says "I'm CIA" instead of having a name is so they pay the actor less.
>>77677968
Man, what breaking news. You mean we won't get anymore characters not interacting with each other, dark-as-fuck camera tint, awful effects, botched villains, and uncomfortable dialogue said by the heroes that sound like something villains would say?
Bummer.
After finally seeing the movie on a 6 hour flight (it was this or minions) I'm convinced the whole thing was just the director intentionally made a bad movie because he hated FOX.
>>77678002
It's an unwritten corporate rule that, in order to keep a professional image, you should never, NEVER ever admit you fucked up. Always come up with reasons why something failed but in a way that makes it seem it was not your direct fault.
See: Capcom explaining why DmC failed.
>tfw my birthday is on June 9th.
OH thank god. I already had to deal with Cars being released on my birthday. I don't think I could deal with another piece of shit movie coming out on it.

>I'm not aware that we have anything but Trank's word anything else was ever filmed.
Magazines and behind-the-scene video reveal the fantasticar was supposed to be in the movie.
Likewise there was several bits of concept art.
Trank's cut was reviewed by Fox and they hated it so much the lopped off the ending and added the cartoon slap fight.

>>77677968
They fucking deserve it. It's their fault that Thing is rotting in "Kitty Pryde leads a bunch of imbeciles".
>>77678921
NO BRO NO
>>77678930
No one knows. Fox managed to keep a lid on everything that was in Trank's original cut.
>>77678862
Where the hell did he get that statistic though?
>>77678868
JUST
>>77678921
Obviously they held onto the sequel plans for a while because they didn't want people to think they were abandoning the franchise.
People would be even less likely to see the stupid movie if they knew there was no chance of a sequel. WB did the same thing with Green Lantern
So what 's Fox's "plan" for the Fantastic Four? I could really use a laugh right about now.

>>77678794
Dude, Trank lost a LOT because of this whole fiasco. It'll leave a permanent stain on his career, not only because the movie fucking sucked, but because of all the shit that happened during and after its development. This movie is many things, but an intentional fuck up isn't one of them.
Fucking Fox just sell the rights to MCU.
Then cast >>77679062
The world will finally be a good place.
They could easily fix the movie because of what happened in dofp
>>77678437
>>77678466
>>77678541
According to Trank, and by looking how he acted in reports, it was supposed that the original film was a lot more coherent. What wound up happening was Fox saw what they'd greenlit and what Trank was doing, and instead of letting him finish his own product they paniced and mutilated his project, then they made him reshoot a bunch of scenes and he was just fucking miserable so he was just wrecking shit.
So basically Fox ruined what could've been a more interesting superhero movie, just to ape Marvel/disney and it failed spectacularly. Like a fucking supernova of shit.
They don't want to turn rights over to marvel despite two shitty f4 movies, Hugh Jackman wanting to be an avenger, and the x men movies without Magneto as bond being msotly shit.
>>77679227
What the hell does that have to do with FF?
>>77679141
They should of hired a director/writer who actually read the goddamn comic. Or read any comic book.
>>77678697
Trank will never be ok. This movie flopped so be it, but the entire time he was behaving really fucking shitty and before the movie even came out he said it sucked.
Noone will ever hire this dude again.
>>77679257
Rewriting the timeline?
>>77679229
>made him reshoot
I sincerely doubt that. Those scenes look completely different from the rest of the movie, I can't imagine he directed any of it.
>>77679286
Completely different continuity
>>77679257
He's trying to say they rewrote history in that movie so he thinks that it rewrote the history where they released a critically panned movie that no one will ever take seriously under that studio again.
>>77679302
>Those scenes look completely different from the rest of the movie
>The fucking wig on Mara
>>77679257
when the timeline rewrote they could just change it up like the first movie never happened without the same cast
>>77679302
You're right, i think they forcibly brought in some no-name to reshoot a ton because Trank was a mess at that point.
What the fuck kinda company does that? You have so little faith in your product because it's not like a marvel movie and you just give it a hack job and a fuck my shit up and hope the public swallows it?
Didn't even have the decency to fault themselves they just blamed Trank.
I've posted this a couple times but I waited on a few guys who worked on the reshoots of this movie, and ended up talking with them about it at length and got some funny anecdotes that haven't been covered by the media.
For example, at one point they were shooting a scene without Trank present, and somebody asked Kate Mara how she was doing. She responded "I'm good, I just need a director... and a script... and a better movie"
>>77679062
I-I never knew how much I wanted this...
>>77679229
I'd love to know what happened to the guy who greenlit the original Trank FF pitch. He or she shat the bed as badly as the person had the movie changed near the end.

>>77678425
Oh definitely.
I don't even know how a comic franchise as campy as F4 manages to have a lot of god-tier villains when the protags are all shit and boring in comparison.
The MCU is in desperate need of some decent antagonists besides Loki and Kingpin. That is when they don't casually kill them off like they tend to do in the movies anyway....
>>77679342
I'm not even talking about the Big Wig 4 U, the direction is flat and they all take place in these tiny enclosed rooms where it's just shot/reverse shot conversations.
This was the cheapest fucking re-shoots I've ever seen. Other then the final fight they spent literally nothing on them, they could all be in the same abandoned warehouse for all I know.
>>77679399
>Interviewer asking what she thought of the movie
>she said she never bothered to see it
Based.
>>77679354
Be honest. Did you want a Kronenberg horror movie Fantastic Four because you think it's a good idea, or because you hate Marvel Studios movies?
>>77679385
I'm pretty sure it was a committee thing. One person shouldn't have been able to greenlight it, I feel like those jewbag cocksuckers were too busy counting thier shekels to give the thing a serious read over and just handwaved it in.
It's all speculation, but I think whoever greenlit it thought it'd be a neat tdkr type of flick but the execs panicked and figured it wouldn't sell.
It's like they think thier personal tastes and beliefs dictate the market. Maybe if they brought in a test audience they might've seen better results, and Trank wouldn't be so depressed.
>>77679062
That would actually be a massive improvement to Reed's character in not just the movies but the comics as well.
>>77679399
I'm trying to remember, it was a few months back.
Remember the rumors about Trank and his wife's dog wrecking a house that they were renting? Apparently they had a bunch of pills that the dog got into, and it later died at the vet. Trank is now trying to sue the vet.
And it wasn't even Trank or his wife that found the dog sick and brought it to the vet, it was some PA
>>77679385
It was probably a disconnect between mid level guys and the upper level bean counters.
Trank was the right guy to hire. The Fantastic 4 name was in a terrible place even before the movie fucked it up.
Look at the Arrested Development plot mocking it six ways to Sunday.
They wanted to distance themselves from the campy cheesy past and have nothing new and interesting.
So they got a guy with an idea to make a more horror movie type interpretation.
But as things were going, the upper level guys were like "Horror movie crap? We want Avengers money! Make it more like the Avengers".
So now you have an executive order from someone who doesn't give a shit about anything other than money.
It was a good idea and it could have been good.
But, ironically, the MCU gave it an abortion.
Fixing up a sequel with more comic booky F4 would have been easy if the movie had been any money whatsoever
I fully predict Jordan will jump ship to DC, the rest can buzz off
>>77678862
How do you fuck Doctor Doom up?
I mean...how?!
>>77679454
I think it was an interesting take, and it might've been cool to pull off. Better than the shit we got. Then again if the early scripts were to be believed, which i think they weren't I forget, it might've been shit anyway.
>>77678921
>The Things brother used to say "it's clobbering time" before every beating
Behind-the-scenes documentary when?
Josh, leave this thread. Your idea sucked, the execution sucked worse. Fantastic Four is about family, science, and adventure. Not grimdark angsty body horror. Good luck on that career.
>>77679532
Changing anything about him
>>77679422
>I don't even know how a comic franchise as campy as F4 manages to have a lot of god-tier villains when the protags are all shit and boring in comparison.
Because camp villains tend to be really operatic and over the top in their depictions and deliveries. It makes them real memorable.
Kirby loved that shit. Like Darkseid. A big stone faced guy in shorts that calls himself the tiger force? That's Charlie Sheen levels of crazy.
>>77679028
Make another movie right before they lose rights
>>77679454
>implying
I love the MCU and I want to see Trank's original cut.
I'm not saying it would have been good, but what we got isn't even a movie. If you're going to let your director take his weird auteurist interpretation of your franchise, actually let him do it. Instead we got a movie for literally no one.
>>77679547
I thought that was a joke when I first read that in a review, I couldn't fucking believe it when it actually happened in the movie.
>>77679532
By tying him into the origin story.
I have no idea why they keep doing this.
Just make him Darth Vader. That's all you need to do.
>>77679572
>Fantastic Four is about family, science, and adventure.
Face it, anon.
2015 was not the year for a fun Fantastic Four movie.
Remember that every movie is not set in stone.
A different interpretation wouldn't scar the IP forever.
The family fun will always be there, waiting.
But failure stains longer than changes
>>77679619
This.
There's no excuse for Darth Vader still being the best on-screen Doom.
>>77679422
>I don't even know how a comic franchise as campy as F4 manages to have a lot of god-tier villains when the protags are all shit and boring in comparison.
No they aint faggot
>>77679532
Pretty easily. He's a complex character who's motives and backstory are very isolated from the hero's books he's spawned from so trying to tell both of their stories in the span of one movie will always end in awful shortcuts and imminent failure IMO.
>>77679619
If you don't, you have to spend 15 minutes of your film setting up his origin story which is almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the narrative.
I get why fans are mad about why they do that, but it's just a cleaner story if everyone is there at the same time. They just haven't done it well yet.
Trank should have taken more from Ultimate F4.
That was a legitimately good modern reboot.
Just film that.
>>77679514
>>77679619
>I have no idea why they keep doing this.
Because Warren Ellis was able to do it with moderate success.
Would it really be so bad if the Moleman was the villain for the first movie in a FF series? Dude has huge monsters, an earthquake machine, and a subterranean kingdom. That would be cool as hell.
>>77679641
>But failure stains longer than changes
Such a failure that if marvel got the movie, announced they were making it, then made a product that was at least as entertaining as ant-man it'd be a fucking blockbuster movie.
It's like the perfect scheme to maximise money. Almost tlike they did this on purpose.
>>77679681
>>77679096
oh no family.
he was kicked off star wars for being an asshole basically. He lost star wars and then made this.
>>77679674
Do you have to though? I mean, Doom could just be a seperate thing in the bacground, some sort of threat looming over the plot in some way, and then he's this bad sass they barely defeat. Then you get his origin sotyr in the second movie.
>>77679674
Which is why I feel like Doom and the MCU kind of deserve each other more than any other IP, F4 in general is just really hard to do right without a giant universe to play with.
>>77679692
>it'd be a fucking blockbuster movie.
No it wouldn't.
People would just laugh at it, and not in a good way.
Here's what normies know about the Fantastic 4
>There were some movies in the 00s
>They were pretty bad and silly
>Arrested Development made fun of it
>There was a horrible movie pretty recently
That's it.
That's all they literally know.
>>77679710
No he lost star wars during the production of Fantfourstick
>Fox and Sony are legally obligated to release Fantastic Four and Spider-Man sequels every few years
>Tron 3 gets cancelled
>>77679202
Yes he was. Simon Kinberg was doing Rogues Ones and Rebels along with FF with Trank. Apparently it soured their relationship according to the wikileaks emails.
>>77678425
>>77678675
What if FOX realize this and decide to use them as villains for the X-Men?
>>77679724
If you don't care about the villain and don't understand what they want then the movie suffers.
'Be patient' doesn't work for writers that aren't George R R Martin
>>77679737
>F4 in general is just really hard to do right without a giant universe to play with.

>inb4 hurrr they were shit
Doesn't matter. Its actually been thrown around quite a bit already that Universal was the winning studio of 2015
>>77679739
Yeah they would, when you think marvle you think a grand adventure for the whole fucking family, they can turn shit into gold, and they can grease the right palms to make the movie seem bigger than it is.
People hear marvel got the rights back to the f4 they'd be adverse to it at first, but it'd be followed with "well at least Disney/marvel's got it!"
If civilwar is at least as decent as im2 or antman, and they pitch it right, the public will love it. they're like the jesus of cinema to the common folk right now.
>>77679795
Honestly, this bums me.
For all its faults, Legacy was a fucking blast to see in theaters.
I would have loved to see a sequel.
No idea why they cancelled it.
Didn't it do ok with critically and financially?
>>77679822
Just trying to relive the fun times we had on /co/ whe it got released
>>77679806
Cant.
Crossovers between those two properties require Marvels permission due to different contracts for each property.
Its why there hasnt been an X-Men TV series until now (which also means FF is back in good hands)
>>77679825
That's totally different.
Normies didn't know anything about those.
Knowing nothing and knowing only bad things are not the same.
>>77679838
Yeah, but Disepney got Marvel and Star Wars and realized they didn't need to try any more.
>>77679838
Disney wants to milk Marvel and Star Wars dry first.
>>77679838
>No idea why they cancelled it.
Popular "wisdom" holds that Tomorrowland bombing at the box office cause Disney to abandon Tron 3, but in reality it was probably so they can concentrate more on exploiting their shiny new Marvel and Star Wars licenses.
>>77679838
>Didn't it do ok with critically and financially?
It didn't make ENOUGH money for the people at Disney. Plus after they acquired the MCU and SW they basically canned their own initiative to develop their own action franchises (like Tron, John Carter, Prince of Persia, etc).
>>77679917
>John Carter
It didn't require new licences to make Disney drop this one.
Didn't this failure cost like a CEO or some other big wig his job?
>yfw FOX has secretly bent over for Marvel and Mads Mikkelsen is playing Doom learning the mystic arts in Doctor Strange
>>77679984
One of the executives had to fall on his sword.
I didn't notice anyone getting fired for Lone Ranger or Tomorrowland though, so at this point Disney doesn't even have to pretend that financial blunders like these mess with their bottom line at all.
>>77678212
Man, Iliked Wolfman
>>77678603
Its funny but the score is too high. Four implies below average whereas this was steaming shit.
>>77678868
If this is real then I just feel bad for him. And its weird to see him with something actually Fantastic Four related after only associating him with Fant4stic which doesn't have a shade of blue anywhere in the whole movie.
>>77679062
I haven't seen him in a role where he is enthusiastic like Reed so I dont know. Marvel's choice was good to me
>>77679258
this is so fucking perfect with Scott
>>77680644
I feel so bad for the actors, the actor for Doom even sopke out and was pretty understanding of fan outrage. Hopefully his career take off

They deserved better. What happened to the first one?
>>77678425

And see how much more money they can manage to lose this time around.
>>77679724
>Then you get his origin sotyr in the second movie.
I say flip it the other way around. Set Doom up with his own movie just about him and his origins before you do the first Fantastic Four movie.
Then the movies can be about the Fantastic Four and Doom is established.
>>77679422
It's not like they've treated Loki well on the movies.
>Philip Glass is responsible for the soundtrack
I rewatched Candyman recently, and it's depressing to see how we went from something so good to Fan4stic soundtrack
All I want in life is a fucking adaptation of Annihilation, is that so fucking hard to ask for?
>>77681564
His score got replaced, but he's still credited for some reason.
I haven't read a lot of FF, but I remember reading a bit of Byrne's run and I pretty much remember Doom's origin story was that he was just a fucking dick who hated Richards and that's it.
How do you screw that up?

Thank goodness though I did not want chronicles 3 where michael b jordan and 4 other people become jedi then one becomes a sith
>>77681976
Mockingjay 2 is the ending of the franchise though.
And it's still doing well, just not 11/10 amazing. People are going to see the "split ending of the trilogy" trend crashing hard soon, no one enjoys it.
>>77679598
>>77680945
I don't see what they were thinking.
If Fox wants a good Fantastic Four movie, why don't they put actual effort in it? I mean, they gave Trank the FF to do whatever he wanted with it because they didn't want Marvel to get the rights. Then they act surprised when he makes something they weren't expecting with the license? Then they ask Matthew Vaughn and edit the movie into some Frankenstein monster of a dark sci-Fi body horror and a funny superhero movie and are shocked when they don't mix?
If they wanted a FF movie done like the MCU, then they should of put effort into it and put the right director for their vision.
They need to put some effort into the FF franchise

You do realize that's really fucking low, right? Like Fox gets maybe gets half of that if they're lucky.
>>77682273
When he was taking shots at Nolan/Snyder DC films I somehow completely forgot he was also producer on Fantastic Four.
You can just look at all that and suddenly realize the reason he said it was just to distance himself from Trank's direction.
>>77682219
If you look at what happened in the last six years, they first announced a reboot in 2009 (when Marvel got bought out by Disney). So probably between 2009 and 2012, The Dark Knight success was something they wanted to attain. That probably would be why they agreed to Trank's direction and were considering Carnahan's 70's Daredevil.
But then the Avengers and GOTG were hits and Fox had people that wanted to go in that direction.
>>77679858

>I thought Trank was in "tell all, fuck those suits" mode on Twitter and what not.
Allegedly he came back and posted on /tv/. Allegedly.
>>77679739
Iron Man wasn't exactly known or liked before the movies
>>77682686
F4 would make a much better tv show than a movie. And not necessarily a Netflix show. I think more episodes and a weekly pace could be more beneficial

Add burping and casual swearing and you got rick and morty.
>>77684035
Rick and Morty is popular. Take that and add superheroes in this day and age bada boom bada bing.
>>77684080
Rick and morty is an adventure show, not an action show. The problem with fantastic four movies so far is that they are trying to put action when it really doesn't need it.
They just need the incredibles with a space portal that sends them on rick and morty adventures.
Heck, some of Rick and Morty's episode concepts are direct copies of Hickman's run on FF, and they are the most popular ones.
>>77684123
Exactly.
>>77679062
But who is Sue?
>>77678806
but DmC is a good game
>>77679984
I'm still shocked it tanked. John Carter was a decent movie.

40 year old milf who spends her time trying dresses and fashion whilst occasionally spitting out some unexpectedly smart/funny shit. That's Sue for sure.
Now you may not like her, but who really likes Sue, anyway? She's bloody perfect.
It's already been said either GAMBIT or DEADPOOL & CABLE will replace it.
>>77684204
Sue is a lot younger than Reed you know, and only a few years older than Johnny.

>I'm not saying whatever Trank's original cut was would have been great, but it's at least a movie.
That depends though, we don't know for sure how much Trank filmed before they decided to "fire" him in October.
>>77679229
>>77679302
If you go by all the stuff that was being said on TigerDroppings and all that, the rumor was that Trank got fired back in October and reshoots were possibly done by Matthew Vaughn (which was a big rumor back in May till Trank denied it, but then someone on IMDB brought it up again near the release of the film, as seen here)
And then someone else claimed that Drew Goddard and some others got involved:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/fantastic-four-blame-game-fox-814764
Trank was still there because if they fired him then they'd be forced to reshoot a larger number of scenes for a different director credit. So he might still have minimal advisement at most.
I'd love Jessica Chastain as Sue, but I don't think she'd ever do it, nor do I think Marvel should shell out the cash to pay her.
>>77680907
Oh like anybody gives two shits about Strucker.

Silver Surfer movie. Just him and Galactus!
>>77678901
>They'll see it anyway
Considering how poorly it did in the box office I think it's safe to say they didn't.
>>77684457
Y'know what? Fuck it. Would watch. Should have stayed the course with that instead of the reboot.
>>77678901
Arrogant shithead. I hope his career is over now.

>Most of EW’s sources agree, with tiny variations, that this scene is what audiences were meant to see. But the reason it was only in the trailer, and not the finished film, is where opinions diverge.
>Those close to Fox say Trank was indecisive, and couldn’t figure out if he needed the scene, going back and forth before finally deciding it wasn’t necessary. They cite it as another example of a director out-of-control, unsure of what he wants or how to execute it.
>Others close to Trank say the filmmaker always wanted the sequence, but was forced to cut it when the studio pared back the budget at the start of production. They say Trank created a detailed previsualization of the scene – essentially, an animated version of what it should look like – that allows digital artists to begin creating effects.
>Late in production, when Fox executives realized they had a comic-book movie in dire need of action, sources sympathetic to Trank say they agreed to finance the scene – but Trank was not allowed to participate in the filming. As a result, the crew returned with footage shot in documentary hand-held style – which didn’t match the previsualization, or the planned digital effects, and also clashed with the visual style of the rest of the movie.
>At that point, according to sources close to Trank, the exasperated director chose to kill the scene entirely.
>>77679697
>that Kristoff/Sony smirk.
Oh that is a thing of beauty.

The MCU should pick him up for a villain some time.
Do they still have the rights to Doom's cousin who's a dentist?
>>77677968
Christ, is it really hard to make a good Fantastic Four movie?
>>77687198
No, Fox is just really really bad at many many things
>>77678437
Iron Man 2 was a mess.
It was still leagues better than the F4ntastic movie. And it pains me to say that as a FF fan.

Fucking Hell No, Sue is a generic crappy as fuck character, Chastain deserves better, Mera!
>>77679024
you don't announce the complete lack of faith in a movie *currently showing in theatres* by announcing the sequel has been canned.
they waited until its run was over then announced. not surprising. but they knew on opening weekend that a sequel was no longer in the cards.
Who'd make a good Namor in a F4 movie?

Goddamn it must be hard being a FF fan nowadays
>>77677968
and shockingly, nobody was surprised nor cared.
>>77687959
It's harder being a X-Men fan.
Hell, its hard being a Inhuman fan as well, seeing them getting turned into X-Men Lite just because of movie rights.
>>77688023
Atleast the films are good and there are a lot of them, even if Marvel is killing the book
>>77677968

>Milking Star Wars dry.
That franchise has long transcended dryness, and entered a negative space of anti-hydration.
I'm telling you. After every star has gone blank, and Entropy has reached maximum. Once time and space lose all meaning. It will be a stray Phantom Menace that will bonk the Cosmic AC in the computation matrix, and cause it to yell out: "Let there be light!"

this is true, to be honest
/r/ing that Watchmen edit with Ozy reacting to Fant4stic's initial reviews
>>77683540
Batman had three hit movies and only one flop, and that still made a profit. Eight years of rehabilitation and they had a three billion trilogy on their hands. Normies only thought of him in terms of the '66 series being deliberately campy before the Burton movies, Warner Bros. won that battle with the general public in 1989 and turned him into a bona fide financial well. Send that bucket down as deep as it'll go, they'll still draw up money by slapping Batman on something.

why must you remind me
I knew it was shit and still gone to the cinema watch it
I'm really not surprised by this news
I was afraid of a possible sequel before, but after all it was impossible for it happen for real
anyway I don't know what will be of the FF in movies and I don't think we will see it for a long time. I guess it is fadded to be forgotten until they have to do something about the rights (again)
I'm more concerned about the x-men
for some reason I think apocalipse will flop in some way and I really would like to see x-men beeing reboot without those excess wolverine movies it is nowadays
>>77677968
Then why did i go see the first one. Fuuuiiick.
