Does Marvel own Adam Warlock, or does he belong to FOX because he showed up in the first 100 issues of FF?

Marvel

It's based less on where they showed up first and more on who they are more closely associated with (hence Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch being in both because they are closely associated with both X-Men and Avengers).

Marvel. People are guessing that Adam Warlock will show up in Guardians Vol. 2 & Infinity War. His cocoon was already in Thor 2 & Guardians 1.

Marvel has Warlock and people are expecting him to show up for GOTG2 or Infinity War

His coccoon from the comics is actually seen in Thor 2 and GOTG but wasn't there to tease an appearance or anything, Gunn just said he put it in because it looked good.

Fantastic news. I'm having a hard time imagining the Infinity War without him. Of course, the same can be said of Surfer. Love when Cap stands up to Thanos in an effort to stall for a Surfer grab.

I was really hoping this FF movie would turn out all right. Such a great comic, it's depressing to see what it is and imagine would it could be.
 
Put this thing out of its misery once and for all and give the MCU one of Marvel's best villains.

Let us have that Reed/Tony/Bruce bromance.

Apocalypse yes. Especially coming off the incredible Days of Future Past.

Deadpool? I don't think so. Lame character, and the last thing the general public knows about him is the sowed up mouth version from Wolverine Origins. Deadpool is going to be a bigger flop than Antman. Though maybe not as big a 4lop as F4.

Antman has already made over double its budget. It's not a flop by any stretch of the imagination, just not an insane success on the magnitude of GotG and Avengers. And to be fair, few movies are.

And Deadpool is a hugely popular Marvel character. He's been a fan favorite for like a decade now. Also, the "general public" didn't give a shit about Iron Man until the movie came out.
 
Not that this is fair to Josh Trank, but I wonder if Disney has a sense of relief that he is not directing a Star Wars Anthology film any longer. I mean, going by those reviews, the thought has probably come up, even if the movies shortcomings are not Trank's fault. Or they are. I don't know. He's only directed one movie to this point (Chronicle), which was pretty good (85% on Rotten Tomatoes). Maybe we'll find out that he is a one-hit wonder type of director that peaked with his first movie. Remember when M. Night Syamalan was the "it" director? The next Spielberg? He had, what, three or four actually good movies (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and possibly The Village)?
 
Time Out (a Top Critic according to RT) gave Fant4stic a 2/5. As such, F4 is now at an 18% on RT.

This reboot of the Marvel superhero franchise is a film of two halves: the first likeable and fun, the second tiresome and loud

Following delays, dodgy trailers and on-set rumours, the advance buzz on this reboot of Marvel’s goofiest superhero team has been increasingly gloomy. It’s hard to imagine what the pundits were expecting. This is after all a story featuring teenage characters called Mr Fantastic (special power: stretchy limbs), The Invisible Woman (special power: take a guess) and the villainous Victor von Doom, adapted from a lightweight 1960s comic strip and given a twenty-first century makeover by a guy whose first film, 2011’s ‘Chronicle’, was an ugly, noisy found-footage mess. Frankly, it’s amazing the result is watchable at all.

And more than that – for the first 45 minutes or so, ‘Fantastic Four’ is actually a lot of fun. We’re squarely in Joe Dante country, as pre-teen science whiz Reed Richards and his bulky best-pal-cum-bodyguard Ben Grimm set to work on the world’s first inter-dimensional teleportation device. Flash forward seven years and these high-schoolers, now played by Miles Teller and Jamie Bell, are ready to present their invention to the world. Following an invitation to continue this research in a proper scientific setting, Reed and Ben trip off to a parallel universe in the company of similarly nerdy youngsters Sue Storm (Kate Mara) and her adopted brother Johnny (Michael B Jordan). But after an encounter with a bizarre energy force, the quartet return with supercharged powers and are immediately whisked off by shady government forces.

At which point the film goes badly off the rails. Following a spot of genuinely unnerving body horror courtesy of Teller’s infinitely extendable arms, the second half is nothing more than a sub-‘Avengers’ roundelay of superhero tics: naff catchphrases, brain-grinding exposition and lifeless punch-ups, the talented cast totally overwhelmed by the duff CG special effects. It’s a shame, because there are points early on where this promises to transcend its silly source material and become a worthwhile addition to an increasingly overstuffed and predictable genre.

After looking at the entire hallway clip of that, am I the only one who thinks this clip would have worked better if it was a one long take? I find editing back to his face over and over again strange as he's not exactly emoting
 
I discount your opinion on everything if you say its impossible to make a good movie on a group of characters because 'reasons'.

Movies suck not because of powers or characters, but because of bad writing of situations and said characters.

Like that doesn't even make any sense. I don't know how you can get such thoughts in your head.

It's almost great, imagine if it was done by someone like Fincher. The camera slowly and methodically following this man creating destruction while the soundtrack by Reznor and Ross drones in the background.

I guess, but it'd still just be a dumb looking guy walking down a hallway
 
The hilarious thing about that hallway scene (as others have pointed out) if you had an accurate Doom Costume and better directing it would be dam good
 
They turned them into teenagers? They should just give up on this. the F$ always gets the short end of the stick in animation and movies.
