Amph Official "Fantastic Four" Reboot(s) Thread

To you and the fifteen-year-old version of myself that got into comics reading the FF, I'm afraid to say so.

 

i do believe this movie could possibly be so atrocious that it would make michael bay's transformers franchise look like a demille production.

 

I do feel it could be a good movie. Just an absolutely TERRIBLE Fantastic Four movie. The characters and plot could work very well, they will just be in no way resembling anything from the comics.

 

I mean if you went in with no knowledge of the Fantastic Four or it being a Fantastic Four movie it could be good in that all the characters work in the universe they are set in. That is a possibility, a very small one, but possible.

It however has a 0% chance of being even a decent Fantastic Four movie

 

I think it has about a 0% chance of being a decent movie overall

 

They are still making Transformer movies...

 

Maybe they've decided they can't top the best superheroe movies, so they've gone in the opposite direction: essentially make the Showgirls of superhero movies.

 

New Doom image revealed.

Spoiler

 

The difference is that "Transformers" has evolved over the years into various incarnations, whereas "Fantastic Four" has remained relatively the same. You know what'd be funny is if this makes Fox a ton of money.

 

If it does, I'm done with superheroes forever.

There's very likely little chance this is true but... potential full synopsis of FFINO.

PS - I just can't see how this is true...

 

I've read it. It sounds like someone pieced together what we know to make it work. But sadly, it very well could be true. It explains the Doom stuff and the early rumored plot points that were debunked. Still, it beats the reality show rumor. Still not seeing this piece of garbage though.

 

I had to stop and compose myself after the first sentence. This sounds so hilariously bad. If this synopsis is true, this movie will fail. Period. In a way this is a good thing because the value of the FF will plummet and Fox will sell. I now feel confident that a Fantastic Four movie will help launch Phase 4 of the MCU now.

 

I'd say Phase 4 is being overtly generous. I think that if Marvel got the rights back, they'd put the franchise on ice because a third reboot in a twenty year span would be too much for people.

 

Maybe for awhile they would, but Marvel has class. They've done a really good job matching directors and projects. I refuse to believe that Stan Lee would ice some of his most iconic characters.

 

Lee himself doesn't have much say. He's mostly a producer in name only. Feige is the man running the show and he could have something come up, but it is the audience that's at issue. How are they going to react? Following "Spider-Man 3", we had "The Amazing Spider-Man" which was met with all kinds of criticism about it being too soon and redundant. Will the same happen with the FF?

 

Those are valid points, but my point is that Marvel has shown a lot of respect for both the characters and the audience. I agree that if this movie bombs and Marvel is able to re-acquire the film rights to the Fantastic Four, they will probably want some breathing space to figure out what to do, especially considering that they have a pretty full slate for the next three or four years, but they won't just put the Fantastic Four on a shelf. They will do something eventually. even if its not right away.

 

I didn't say it wouldn't ever happen. Just not for a while.

 

C'mon now, you can't really count the '05 movie as a reboot. Most people don't even know the Roger Corman movie exists, let alone seen it. And considering we're talking about 2019+ it would be two reboots in 15 years. No different than Batman or Spider-Man (Yeah, it's coming. Don't be surprised when it happens)

 

Well, no I wasn't counting the Corman film. But what I meant was that this would be another attempt at telling the story that's already told. Audience reaction to another Batman film has yet to be determined since "Dawn Of Justice" won't be out for another few months. We'll see how reactions go by then. But Spidey was given a lot of flack for going back to the origin again.
