Well...guess we should have seen it coming...

 

[Duress]

Welp! That was the nail in coffin.

 

[Syntsui]

hopefully this movie bombs so we can have a proper cosmic FF movie

The first two movies bombed hard already, didn't they?

 

[Sojgat]

I imagine his online persona will talk in all capitals, and refer to himself in the third person.

Fuck this movie.

 

[Big Baybee]

This sucks

 

[BLACKLAC]

And the rights almost reverted back to Marvel because of that.

Then Marvel showed how to make cbm's on the big screen, and more importantly to Fox, the financial potential. So here we are.

 

[Cade]

So...d00m?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=138265909&postcount=2290 bruh I was first, pls no steal my script

 

[Callibretto]

next Fox will troll Marvel by marketing the hell out of Marvel brand when promoting this Fantastic Four movie hoping that people will go see it because of the Marvel name.

I can't imagine Marvel being happy if their name are associated with this film if it turns out a horrible film.

 

[Intheflorsh]

I'm expecting his costume to be a green hoodie that says #d00m and thick rimmed glasses.

 

[not psycho]

that's so hard to prove in court. unless they hired gilbert gottfried to play reed richards.

Gilbert Gottfried would make a good peeping tom Uatu. He can be programmer Doom's comedy relief roommate. Namor can be the school mascot dolphin.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I don't understand how this can be real. "On blogging sites" - this is like one of those out of touch pitches from the mid 90s.

 

[adj_noun]

Sure, sure, fine.

And when they reboot it again he'll be an evil ice cream salesman or whatever.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

The first two movies bombed hard already, didn't they?

First one made over 330 million on 100 million budget.

The second made $50 million less on a $30 million higher budget.

So you can see why they shelved it for so long, RotSS probably just scraped by profitability. This one probably has half the budget of the 2005 film, and will clock in close to $150-$175 million just on name alone even if it's complete trash.

KEBBELL: He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story. And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging sites I’m “Doom”.

 

[Log4Girlz]

It's about ethics in comics journalism

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This wounds my very soul.

 

[UnderWaterTree]

 

[Wazzy]

Yikes at this whole movie. Maybe it could still turn out good but at this point every choice made so far seems really weird.

 

[Banjotanooki]

Yikes at this whole movie. Maybe it could still turn out good but at this point every choice made so far seems really weird.

With a cast like this:

Thing looking like this:

And Dr. Doom looking like this:

....it's bound to be a good movie, right....?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Cat Party]

Pretty much.

Could they have picked a more cliched villain concept?

 

[dabig2]

That's my stance. I"m not going to lie when I say I'm a complete MCU stan. But I still hope that the other studios succeed in making a decent comic book movie.

But Fox and FF...again I'll hold my derision until at least the trailer pops up. But it ain't looking good so far.

 

[Cuburt]

So doctor doom is a 4chan poster?

WE ARE LEGION


........OF DOOM

 

[JJD]

If Ike Perlmutter is reading this know that after this I forgive you for canceling the FF comics.

 

[OldRoutes]

The fact that no marketing material has been shown is also worrisome, or a sign of confidence from the studio. No cast photos or anything.

 

[Sojgat]

I wonder if Doom will swat Reed at some point in the story.

 

[Anth0ny]

Seriously. Less than a year away, and no official media has been released. It's baffling.

I can see this bombing so hard.

 

[overcast]

Thing looking like this:

The cast and Thing are fine imo. Not much worse than all the comic book films. Problem is people aren't willing to give them a chance at all. What we've been given so far with the F4 makes the doubt understandable.

 

[Exotoro]

Man I wasn't gonna see this but now I need actively persuade others not to see it either

 

[MattyG]

I wonder if Doom will swat Reed at some point in the story.

*Camera slowly sweeps into room through doorway. Victor sits in beanbag chair playing the Nintendos*

"STOP SPAWN CAMPING. OH YEAH, WELL I FUCKED YOUR MOM RICHARDS. YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK YOU AND YOUR LAG SWITCHING. I HAVE YOUR IP AND WILL HAVE XBOX LIVE BAN YOU."

*Victor angrily throws down his headset and controller and stares down at the floor. The shot pans to face Victor and we see his eyes light up as he lifts his head and dials the numbers. 9.1.1.*

"Stretch your way out of this one, Richards."

*Music swells, scene cuts to black*

 

[BY2K]

Are they actually trying to go as far away as possible from the source material?

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

This too shall pass.

 

[Blader]

The fact that no marketing material has been shown is also worrisome, or a sign of confidence from the studio. No cast photos or anything.

Given the last two movies and the pretty shitty reception this one has already gotten, they're not going to want to release anything that doesn't look like totally ready to go. Think about every trailer thread ever has people complaining about effects that look rough or unfinished (because they are) -- and those are for movies that most people are actually looking forward to! The first thing they show of this has to be of footage that's completely in the can.

 

[.la1n]

I don't think anyone expected a good movie from this so I'm all for them jumping the shark into oblivion if it means a fun watch when you are drunk with friends movie.

 

[shem935]

Will the original two movies actually end up being better?

 

[The Silver]

Suddenly Ike Perlmutter's rage at seeing any F4 artwork around the offices make perfect sense.

 

[spawnsniper]

I wonder if he's on neogaf.

 

[J10]

Will the original two movies actually end up being better?

I can think of a few Ed Wood movies that will retroactively be better.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Wow......Like...it takes a God awful amount of effort to fuck up Doctor Doom....well played Fox...Well played

 

[inm8num2]

It's all in the execution, right? ...Right?

 

[DXLelouch153]

that shit looks cheesy as fuck too. i can't believe this dude and his magic powerglove are the endgame for avengers. ultron already looks >>>>

also it sounds like fox just wants to annoy the fans with this one lol.

youll eat those words when he makes the Avengers his bitch

 

[JDSN]

It's all in the execution, right? ...Right?

I still have faith in the director keeping things simple and not ruining his and Michael B Jordan's careers.

First reply /thread

They're just trolling us now.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Welp, I'm out....

 

[-COOLIO-]

i dont think a ff movie could work. the characters are just too cheesy.

the ability to stretch? how much can you really do with that?

 

[Slayven]

Isn't Mark Millar their universe guru? What the hell is he doing over there?

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Hack the planet! Mwahahahahaha!

Mr Fantastic has always been about his intelligence and how close he gets to going full blown evil.

Stretching is just a bonus

 

[The Silver]

trying to sabotage the movie so they'll give it back to Marvel

Why does he keep using the term lo-fi?

I can only guess its a way of saying "small budget".
