Dear god it sounds horrible. I've been expecting this to be bad but tried to withhold judgement but every thing that releases sounds terrible.

So supposedly, this is the synopsis for the FF film:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=111202

Okay then...

Reed is a genius convenience store clerk with Ben. Reed's parents don't care about him, and Ben's dad is abusive. They're good friends and have each other's backs. Reed writes a paper for community college on teleportation that attracts the attention of Dr. Franklin Storm, CEO of the Baxter Building research center.

Storm has a son, Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue, whose father, Storm's old partner, died in an experiment gone wrong. Johnny and Sue are party kids, and Sue is particularly disdainful of science. Reed and Sue don't get along at first.

Victor Doomashev is a anti-social Eastern European computer programmer and hacktivist who calls himself "Doom". He hates the 1%, particularly Storm, whom he claims corrupts science for profit.

Storm uses Reed's paper to complete some equations on a machine to access another dimension, the N-Zone. Reed invites Ben to watch the machine being turned on. Sue and Johnny are also there. Doom manages to hack into the Baxter Building's servers and use a computer virus to damage the machine, which explodes. Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben are exposed to otherwordly energy and become mutants with powers that they can't control.

Storm takes them to the Baxter Building and creates containment suits for their powers. They begin to train. Reed and Storm also begin developing a way to revert the accident. Sue blames Reed for everything, but they eventually become friends and then a couple. Ben can switch off his powers when he's not in danger. Johnny changes colors based on heat intensity, and Sue has some borderline telekinetic thing. Reed is pretty much Reed.

Doom finds out that the four have acquired powers and becomes angry it's not him, so he comes up with a plan to break into the Baxter Building to access the N-Zone through the rebuild machine. As a distraction, he reprograms a bunch of stolen military drones, the "Doombots", to attack the building. The four come together as a team for the first time and save people.


Doom activates the machine and gets technopathy powers or something, basically energy blasts and making machines obey to him, and a fight ensues. The machine goes critical, and, in order to prevent it from exploding and destroying the city, the four push into it and Storm shuts it off.

There's a countdown before it reaches critical mass. Inside the N-Zone, the four battle Doom again, and manage to leave him trapped there after he disfigures himself soaking up too much power. The Four manage to escape, but Ben gets the blunt of it to protect Reed and can't switch back.

The machine is destroyed, Doom is gone, the four have learned to work as a team, and Reed vows to find a cure for Ben. And it ends there.

If this is true then there is no way this could possibly be good.

Which should be taken out, Ultimate FF sucks and Millar deserves no money.

Oh that makes sense then, so all the green screen is
Negative Zone

Marvel to buy the rights to the film. The final battle is in the Negative Zone, then it ends with Annihilus coming in and killing the entire cast of the new FF movie. He breaks through the portal, and it sets up Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation.

The Incursion plot is central to Infinity War. It involves the Avengers and Guardians destroying all the Non-MCU Marvel Movie Universes.

I don't know why people are automatically opposed to anything linked back to CBM, some of their contributors are legit. Just pay attention to who's posting what.

Barely any of their contributors are legit. There's nothing legit about them, really.

For example, this story is based on anonymous posts c+p'd from 4chan and reddit, that the writer themselves noted had pretty iffy timing. This would be like richiek or donasaurus starting a "news" site and pulling all their content from the comics thread here in OT, when they're not just linking back to sites already doing nothing but linking back to sites that actually do the work.

Basically, if you're the kind of reader who values paying attention, you should already know they're a waste of your time BECAUSE you've been paying attention. Nobody there actually gives a shit about getting any of their stories right.

Thats a big problem if your job is disseminating information.
 
I don't believe it. The writers would have to be going out of their way to make a shit movie for this to be the actual synopsis. I expect a lot of dumb things from this movie, but I can't fathom how someone could write a character like Reed Richards being a convenience store clerk that writes a paper on teleportation to get admitted to community college...
 
Bobby, it's funny you're so vehement about CBM yet equally defensive about Latino Review, where El Mayimbe goes on the record -- with his name attached and everything -- frequently posting bullshit that is just total...well, bullshit.

CBM is mostly reporting pre-existing news, but they occasionally have actual valid scoops. Off the top of my head they had at least one guy leaking plot points about the Avengers months ahead of time.
 
Sounds fine to me.

I mean I can see Trank coming up with some awesome visuals. The guy carried that dreadful Chronicle script to being watchable with the visuals and iconography.

I'm not equally defensive. Usually what I'm saying about Latino Review is that they're never anywhere NEAR as wrong as people say, and that the name "Latino Review" has become a shorthand whipping boy for people who wanna front on messageboards like they know what they're fuckin talking about. "Latino Review is ALWAYS wrong" "Man, has LR ever gotten anything right?" "Last time LR was right Jesus was still still voiding his godly bowels into cotton swaddling."

I mean, I'm sure if you did a post search regarding my defenses of LR, you'd find me saying such kindly things as "they get it right about...50-60% of the time" and "they're pretty self-aggrandizing."

But they also DO give a shit, and they're putting in work beyond reading a forum and then half-assing it into a post. There are writers there actually doing legwork. So when they swing and miss (which again, happens about half of the time) it's at least an EARNED swing. As opposed to ComicBookMovie, where it's just some dipshit with a twitter feed and a reddit account picking through the recycled food after it's already passed through the internet's digestive tract.

Again: It's weird to me that you advocate people just pay more attention while still saying they should check ComicBookMovie at all. If you care about paying attention you should already fuckin' know better, right? Because you're paying attention.

ComicBookMovie is clickwhore bullshit content aggregation for lazy people who don't give a shit whether the stories are right or not, they just wanna have something to talk about. Which is why nobody at ComicBookMovie cares about whether their stories are right or not, because that has no bearing on whether or not anyone clicks on it.

I know this because I pay attention :)

edit: hell, in the one positive example you cite of a guy at comicbookmovie caring about what they do - you don't remember his name :) The one example of someone at the site giving a shit, caring about their work, and he's just as anonymous as all the other humps - everyone gets drowned in the same regurgitated rumor vomit spewed all over the site's chest. That's comicbookmovie for you.
