Why the hell did they go for another damn origin story anyway? No one wants to see that crap again. They get hit by cosmic rays and get powers, show that shit in the opening credits and then time skip.

I was doubtful after I watched that episode on Collider when they talked about how Fox weren't doing red carpets and holding off reviews and early screenings at the last minute. That sounded like they lacked self confidence.

Sounds like Fantastic Four Babies lived to its initial impression.
 
FOX should finally give in and team up with Roger Corman to make a sequel to the best cinematic version of the Fantastic Four.

1. Try and boost the Fantastic Four by having them cross over with the X-Men.
2. Not make another movie until 7 years later to stop the right from going back to Marvel.
3. Pull a Sony and allow Marvel to borrow the Fantastic Four.
4. Sell the right back to Marvel.

Would Disney even want to buy the rights back?
 
Surely the reviewers were just salty MCU fans.


Seriously though, I was really hoping this would turn out good since I enjoyed Fox's X men films. Plus I'm a fan of Michael B. Jordan.
 
Yep, MCU films don't resemble comic books in any way

It's not like comic books aren't corny or have corny dialogue. Movies sharpen it up to fix up the obvious crap that's written in the grand majority of comics. Something like "It's clobbering time" originating from an abusive brother is something so corny it could be taken seriously in comics.
 
So doing some searching, Marvel and Fox share rights the Kree and Skrulls (both featured in Stan and Kirby's FF run), but Fox has sole rights to the Badoon.

How do they decide these things?

At least Fox having rights to the Shiar makes sense. They were mostly an X-men thing until maybe the last decade.

It's particularly baffling when you consider that Fox pulled off one of the most clever and well-executed reboots of a franchise in recent memory with the X-Men. There aren't many film series where the reboot is canon within the actual universe.

Hell they should have just asked Singer, Dougherty, and Harris to give their two cents on how to revamp FF.

The really weird one is Viper, who isn't even a superhuman in her female incarnation in the comics, being turned into a mutant in The Wolverine. Like, what?
 
I imagine Marvel would want the villains at least. Gives them more for post-Infinity War films.

Marvel wanted the villains & cosmic characters associated with the F4 (Doctor Doom, Kang the Conquerer, Annihilus, Galactus, Silver Surfer, Kl'rt/Super-Skrull, etc.).

Good call. Fox hasn't really had the opportunity to screw up many of the F4 villains yet. They may be worth something in their untainted state.
 
I always loved that theme song btw

Reed Richards is elastic!

Sue can fade from sight!

Johnny is the Human Torch!

The Thing just loves to fight!


like, really you couldnt come up with anythin for Johnny in your TMNT theme ripoff?
