I hope this movie fucking bombs so bad they just sell the rights back.

To be fair, among 1000 Power Girl, Harlequin, and Slave girl Leah cosplayers (some of them hairy overweight men), Kate Mara is not going to really draw your eye.

If Kate was also rocking the short hair that day then that would've probably helped explain the non recognition too.

Besides, the only thing worthwhile from the F4 is Doom.

This is about as wrong as things get.

EDIT: To elaborate, even if you ignore the Fantastic Four themselves, future Guardians sequels would greatly benefit from the properties that Fox has rights to via Fantastic Four.

Oh yeah, Cosmic Marvel too and Kang.

CLEARLY I tried too hard with this OT and it's thread title. Democracy wins this time.

Oh Tao, you over thought the topic title and, hell, I don't even get it.

Bringing in snippets of people tossing eggs in the white elephant section is also weird (from Alba to Mara. These voices should not be given a platform imo)

Keep it about the film, not the noise

You're probably right, and thanks to Cyan for just taking it out completely.

I should've just slept after I came home instead of finishing this up half-asleep.

Wait, does this overwrite the previous OT? That seems a little weird to me. I mean, I know this doesn't look very good, but I don't know if I like the idea of OTs just being swapped out if they don't meet a certain Metacritic score...

What are you talking about? They just changed the title because no one got it.

What would that accomplish? Marvel's plate is full, and they're not going to carve out space for a property that is poisoned.

Phase IV will happen at some point and they would use the IP most likely for GotG and Space stuff - Glactus, the Surfer, Super Skrull, etc.

Was getting caught part of your plan?
I'm almost sure Josh Trank is just having a situation similar to David Fincher during Alien 3 in which it's mainly the studios fault. I can't seriously imagine him being completely okay with how it turned out after doing something like Chronicle.

Then again, I can totally see him attempt to make Chronicle's semi-minimalist formula apply to this property which quite frankly, just won't work.

Also, here's an official clip of Dr. Doom. (Spoiler: He just looks silly)

Wasn't the rumorr that Trank couldn't handle the pressure and would show up on the set high or something?

That would explain a lot (and also why he was fired from Star Wars).

Fantastic 4/10 works I guess but the metacritic/tomato number is even less than that. 4/10 is apparently too high for this movie. I like Fantastic 4/100 or even Fantastic 4/20 more because underselling>overselling

That would totally make sense. I mean, as much as I liked Chronicle, it was totally a "first timer" production. Combined with the fact that he's still pretty young, I could see pressure being a problem.

Even Spielberg was pulling his hair out when he was making Jaws at his age.

Given the state of the special effects, the cancellation of the 3D version, and the tepid marketing effort, I have to wonder if Fox sabotaged it's own movie to burn Trank for his behavior on set. Or maybe they saw what they were working with and decided not to throw any more good money after bad.

Whatever the case I haven't seen this much shit talked about a director since The Boondock Saints guy.
