You know interracial parents don't make white blonde kids and black kids right? lol.

Comparing this with WH40k is a joke. WH40k is so pessimistic and gloomy, with tyranid hordes swarming, chaos driving people insane, a dying god emperor that controls all transportation...
I feel grimdark is a horrible mislabel. This is more grounded or low fantasy. Nothing about this movie or other movies I've seen labeled with grimdark have a gloomy outset or death everywhere. I do feel that these movies are dramatic, they aim to tie emotions to the characters, they want events to have weight, they want to build tension. I feel like grimdark is just a catch all term for comic book movies that aren't marvel and it usually has a negative connotation.
Marvel films are good at what they do, I don't feel the need for everything to emulate and then saturate the market with derivatives, probably causing a comic book movie crash.
Sahara was legit fun, very Uncharted

Trailer reminded me of Watchmen for some reason.
I thought it looked good.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Well they're hardly going to attack Earth
I mean, Teller and Jordan were in That Awkward Moment and Jamie Bell was in Jumper. Actors gotta work and Trank is maybe more of a solid bet than either of those other movies.
was hoping they would be working to save the local supermarket around the block in Des Moines Iowa
Technically, it was a Uncharted film before Uncharted was a thing.
Just tired of people going on and on about Trank doing something new and different for the genre and breaking the mold with this when the plot structure actually is going to be the same thing.
Not that the formula bothers me of course
strawman? no one is saying this was a worse trailer than Ant-Man. i wouldn't be surprised if this movie is better than Ant-Man.
the Avengers 2 trailer is crazy good, though.

We're still dealing with superheroes. It's how those characters are interpreted and the lens through which we view them being what makes it refreshing.
Contacts and hair dye on a light enough bi-racial woman will though. Even the lighter hair and blue eyes aren't uncommon msturally in bi-racial people.
Mariah Carey. Rashida Jones and Blake Griffin could all pass as looking naturally blond haired and blue eyed with a bottle of hair dye and some contacts, for example
Yeah. I'm not sure who exactly would be expecting a blockbuster to have anything other than good guys beats bad guy.

Yes. That image is high enough in resolution to see.
WTF is up with comments like this?

yep would love a FF movie that's all about just exploring and adventuring and not another fuckin' save the world scenario that could be handled by anyone else.

"Giant beam of light shooting into/coming from the sky" isn't exactly a unique motif, especially in sci-fi.

I just assumed sue's adopted in this
Yeah I appreciate that the trailer looked less like a superhero action film and more of a sci-fi epic.
Now if it could just sell me on that.

Irritates me to no end they can still use the Marvel logo. Because people will just assume this is related to The Avengers and go pay money for it.
It's new and different from the usual Marvel crap.
Even then, I still don't think this sounds any different of an interpretation from, say, early 2000s superhero movies or even Man of Steel. Hell, even though the tone here looks noticeably darker and less campy, I don't think it really sounds all that different from how the original '05 movie handled the FF dynamic either.
Not to keep harping on this point, but what would've been a new and different interpretation in this case, one that breaks from genre conventions, actually would've been sticking closer to the source material and opting for the wilder, cosmic family adventure angle of the comics.
i c what u did thar

They aren't in this version.
The trailer was fine. Not amazing but decent. I've tried to stay as neutral as I could regarding this film but I'm more positive then I was after this and curious to what future trailers will show. The very fact that they're dealing with the Negative Zone is a plus for me. Always found the idea of that interesting.
Superheroes can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. They're trying a new angle.
Why wouldn't they? They are Marvel films at the end of the day, even if they're not MCU films specifically. Hell, Feige gets a production credit.

Not sure about the last two, but Mariah Carey is only a quarter black, it's near impossible genetically for Sue and Johnny to be 100% brother and sister and look the way they do.

This trailer was better than Ant-Man? Did we watch the same thing? Anyways not completely terrible, I'll wait for another trailer and give it a chance

Trailer does a decent job of selling it minus the tacky voice over. Still not expecting much.
It can happen. It's unlikely but not impossible.
Then they would've just been saving another planet, or a space station, or a sun or something.
The impression this teaser leaves on me is that these guys are a team of explorers more than superheroes, which is pretty cool to me.
i felt like both trailers missed the tone i was looking for

The problem is that this angle is a horrible fit, and we still haven't had a good movie from the angle that made everyone fans of Fantastic Four in the first place.
