What the hell happened to Fantastic Four?

[The Moth Attracted to the FlameParticipant 2982]

Four movies have been made based on this Fantastic Four…and they all, for the most part, sucked.

Especially this new one, for what the reviews told me…

What happened? They could have improved upon making this movie a better superhero movie….and it sucks ass.

[UntamedParticipant]

Reed Richards got his elastic b~~~~ caught under a train in derailment. The Fantastic Four got chopped up, stomped on, shredded and spit out thus as is onto the silver screen by the Hollywood dumb-down machine.

X-Men, same story. Never thought I’d see Wolverine as gay as that in my entire life. And don’t get me started on Superman.

It wasn’t enough that they sold Robert Howard’s work to the highest bidder, they had to get an ape to play Howard’s shrewd Barbarian. The new guy seems okay tho.

I wonder how many years the Hollywood machine is going to get to ride their new blockbuster recipe but the feast seems to echo in a night still young…

Honestly, I was fine with X-Men. I like the movies that Bryan Singer and Matthew Vaughn directed. They’re good directors.

Superman is polarized, but I can deal with it. I want to wait and see if they take it into a less-than-desirable direction.

Fantastic Four, though….it’s just a disaster. Clearly, CLEARLY, this movie was made just for money and the creation of a new franchise based on existing property.

I couldn’t begin to lay out what’s wrong with X-Men but this tidbit just might: Magneto. Ian McKellen as Magneto? Are you kidding me?

I worry for the future of Marvel cinemas. After these producers run the Marvel bandwagon into the ground crashing and burning, what will they milk and abuse next?

I have discovered a truly remarkable list of reasons why women are not necessary for a happy life, but alas this margin is too small to contain it.

Another one for me to not watch, and that applies to the vast majority of Hollywood’s output.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[UntamedParticipant]

They’re turning every iconic male tale unto chick flicks.

Zorro. Banderas and who? I remember Sergeant Garcia but who’s this brunette chick? And why the f~~~ is she taking Zorro’s quest? Really? Get outta here!

Iron Man. Downey Jr. Ok, I can see that, and who? No! Hell No, Miss Potts was never gonna get a fraction of a percent from Stark Industries. Did they even open the comics?

Braveheart… uh-him. Sorry, Mel. Wallace didn’t fight for his lost love. What love? He was trying to rally his compatriots against the English. What? He did what to the Welsh princess? Come on now.

Gladiator. Crowe, Phoenix, yea ok. Then who? The Emperor’s own daughter leaving Rome to visit her father? Bulls~~~. She did what now? Bed a general from the Legions? Bulls~~~. Comodus did not die in the arena, he died in his bath, drunk.

If they’re gonna spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a film, the least they might try to do is be accurate.

Forget Super Hero movies. The market is saturated and they’re PC’ing/girl powering it up as well. Our last hope is Star Wars. If that turns out to be PC/girl power nonsense, I have no idea what we are going to do. We have all female Ghostbusters now. Our last refuges are gone. I have no answers. Put your head between your legs ans kiss your ass goodbye.

Fuck this planet.

I hate to say it, but every single Fantastic Four movie was made just so the license wouldn’t expire and revert to the original owners. They suck ON PURPOSE so if they don’t make money and studios can use them as tax writeoffs. Even worse, they know people will watch them anyway as superhero films are saturating the market right now so if it does make money they didn’t have to put out any effort. It’s a win-win for the studio and a lose for everyone else.

Star wars is now owned by Disney: the people who brought us the “girl power” that is Frozen. If the trailers and snippets I have seen are any hint, we’re getting a “strong female” lead character with her male sidekick that she rescued from the evil Empire and convinced to join the rebels with the power of love as persuasion.

My suggestion as to what to do: stop watching and buying franchise garbage.

When you have weemins making the creative decisions on a project, you can be sure that it’ll be all f~~~ed up.

Mad Max IV turned into some feminist fest about how it was all men’s fault for nuclear cataclysm. Huh? That’s not the George Miller I know.

Fifth Element. Filth element onscreen weemins in your face about how the “Perfect Being” is a… what? Are you serious?

Even James Bond has turned mgtow-apologist, bending his rules for some two-bit lass.

Actually, that’s not the message of the Fifth Element. The message is that men are important and always will be. It also says that men must mold women into things of value: simply putting them on a pedestal is not enough.

The group keeping the knowledge of the benevolent aliens and protecting earth? ALL MEN. The enemy? An effeminate man who turned on his fellow men, using trickery and lies like a woman to get money and power.

The “perfect being” wasn’t really a perfect being. She was actually incomplete with no understanding of the world. It took men educating her and showing her the value of humanity as well as one special man to make her “complete” before she was able to help save the world. If it hadn’t been for men, she would have been useless. Men are what made her “perfect”!

James Bond has lost his way, though…

Fun fact: Marvel is owned by Disney.
After they bought Marvel suddenly there’s gay Wolverine and female Thor. I say it’s time to boycott Disney and their owned products.

S~~~…I should have realized this is MGTOW.

I just wanted to talk about how s~~~ty the movie was, but now gender and stuff is brought up….okay.

That’s it right there.

If you google “ashcan production” Fantastic Four is right there on the first page.

My take, for whatever it’s worth:
Fans: Fox, we’d like an FF movie that’s actually good. Please give the rights back to Marvel or perhaps work out a deal.
Fox: We don’t care, we’re going to do a reboot film just to keep the rights and cut corners to make it happen.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re casting Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm and making Sue his adopted white sister.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re making Ben Grimm a skinny little dude with little to no New York attributes.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re going to make Doctor Doom an emo computer tech and completely change his look.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re taking Ben’s pants away and changing their costumes.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re going to make it “dark and gritty” and completely ignore the source material to appeal to new fans.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want.
Fox: We don’t care. Also, we’re going to make it a separate universe from the X-Men so there won’t be any team-up films.
Fans: No, Fox, that’s not what we want. We’re not going to see the film and we’re going to tell our friends not to see it.
Fox: But fans! We want sales! We want to make money!
Fans: We don’t care.

The whole Fantastic Four debacle is really fascinating guys.  The “Midnight’s Edge” channel on YouTube has some great videos summarizing all the crazy s~~~ that has gone on with making this movie.  I recommend taking some time to check them out.  Truly the behind the scenes drama was much more interesting than the final film.

Midnight’s Edge

[ShinyParticipant 2307]

8% on Rotten Tomatoes. 2 of the very few top critics who gave it a positive review are from the same stable here in Sydney (The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald are both from a lefty Murdoch-opponent).

I just don’t like when they reboot something for no reason. The last Fantastic 4 (Jessica Alba, Captain America etc) was well done in many ways albeit the story was dull. If this wasn’t going to be way better, why do it?

That’s just sad. That’s even sadder than remaking classics just for money.

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

What was in the Fantastic Four got assimilated by a lot of other comics, and super heroes. Is there even a Fantastic Four comic book still out? It is just of another era. I believe it was said similar happened with the Chronicles of Narnia in that you just can’t do a movie series on it, because material in it was absorbed by other fantasy worlds.

“Social Justice” or SocJus is all over the comics industry. They are the one screaming for a black Spiderman, gay Wolverine, female Thor and anything they can scream for and Disney bends hands SocJus lube, drops it’s pants and bends over.

[texasParticipant 35]

It’s too bad that they will never realise that the Social Justice warriors
a) are a small demographic
b) probably wouldn’t watch the films anyway
c) will never be satisfied until they have a gender-neutral, bi, and raceless protagonist, that is also mute. All to protect their “feels”.
