THE MEN OF THE X VARIETY AND OTHER FOX BS (spoilers)

[B_Metal]

OH GAWD SO HAPPY ABOUT TATUM AND GAMBIT

[FilmNerdJamie]

What if it's a shitty kitten that kicks puppies?

DEVIN SMAAAAAAAAAASH!

[Abraham Smashington]

DOOM is a hacker?

I want all information that has come out to be misinformation. But it's not.

[Martin]

Holy garbage.

[Matt]

Yeah, hoping that's all misdirection.

[Abraham Smashington]

that would be amazing if it happened. Just once I'd love a movie to do nothing but spread misinformation.

[Martin]

I'm betting the whole thing is true and it's pure garbage. That would be awesome, since I don't give a shit about the FF.

[Matt]

It would be funny if the new FF is a complete and utter disaster and makes the prior two films look like THE GODFATHER 1 and 2.

[Timothy225]

Unlike Martin, I always liked the FF. Really want to see a good flick based on the comics, but that ain't gonna happen with Fox.

[FilmNerdJamie]

FF is arguably the hardest comic book to crack onscreen. Its just so Goddamn out there (in a good way). The best take was Peyton Reed's 60s-era one, which would totally work if Marvel ever got the rights back.

[Abraham Smashington]

if they made Guardians work, they can make this work. They just need to stop grounding it in reality.

[Abraham Smashington]

that's the problem with the current flicks. I'd fucking kill for a Pixar FF flick (and yes, I know we sorta got one with The Incredibles....)

[B_Metal]

if they made Guardians work, they can make this work. They just need to stop grounding it in reality.

Yeah, it's kind of the whole point with super hero shit.

[BMichaelKrol]

if they made Guardians work, they can make this work. They just need to stop grounding it in reality.

I don't think it's them grounding it in reality as much as it's Fox being embarrassed of the FF's elements. Why can't Doom be a weird head of state socererer? Why can't HERBIE be in there?

The one thing that Marvel gets right is they don't apologize for their character's backgrounds and backstories. Marvel trusts its audience. Which is why their films work.

[Timothy225]

Also explains why Marvel's films are so much freakin' fun. Grounded in reality, sure, but a reality where 8' tall green giants sucker punch Norse Gods, and a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, who wears a kick-ass suit of highest tech armor, gets his superhero posse together for some after credits shwarma.

Also Scarlett Johanssen in black leather. Yow. Za.
