Thank you, its give a lot more context to the two trailers.
From the trailer it looks like that's kind of the point, I guess there will be a backlash to his race and that'll be part of the story of the actual show.
It all looks a bit meta to me; like there have been other films and shows commenting on the superhero genre (like The Franchise) and now Marvel want even a piece of that pie; they can't even let other people spoof them.
I will give Wonder Man a chance as Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is a good actor and Ben Kingsley is amusing as Trevor.
I did watch the Friendly Neighbourhood Spider Man cartoon a few weeks back when I had covid and it was enjoyable enough on my sickbed.
I watched Thunderbolts a couple of weeks back; just nothingy, although maybe slightly less bland than Captain America 4 which feels like a TV movie.
Yeah I am curious how this all fits in? The original movie of Wonder Man seems to fit in the Fantastic 4 timeline. But the remake seems to be set in present day? Is this a way to bridge those two generations? How does the Fantastic Four end up in Avengers Doomsday.
I haven't seen any Disney Marvel Movies since...Spider-Man No Way Home? I did catch the OG Daredevil series. Also watched Hawkeye TV series. I have lost interest in the films and series as they have brought in characters that don't interest me or have characters I don't even know.
Well…, original Wonder Man movie definitely doesn't fit Fantastic 4 timeline because Fantastic Four (Earth 818) come from another universe than MCU (Earth 616).
I suspect the Fantastic Four will meet up with the rest of the MCU heroes through some kind of rift in space-time.
I have no idea what to make of this? :-??
Then google it lol it's BASED ON A COMIC BOOK
Superman is surprisingly similar in tone and yet absolutely nails it, it feels so much more fresh and energetic than this, and although it had problems, I came out of it really liking the central character and wanting to see more of him. With these four I feel nothing at all.
There's a QR code at the end which leads to some free comics if you want more.
I will give First Steps a watch as I have a Disney + subscription currently because of Only Murders In The Building. F4 will be the first MCU content I have watched this year.
Edited: I lasted 1 minute and switched it off, I will stick to my Tim Story Blu-ray's.
Best superhero film i've seen in a long time!
Everything mostly works like a charm in this confident production. Loved the retro/futuristic look of the film. The cast nail it big time. Wonderful chemistry from the Fab 4. I thought Vanessa Kirby was the stand out and steals the entire film IMO.
Some really cool set pieces that aren't overwhelming, some wonderful humour straight out of the comics and a really deft origin sequence shot in a super 8 newsreel style that takes us through the F4's creation in a few minutes.
Marvellous entertainment!
This is the third go at bringing Fantastic Four to the big screen after 2005 and 2015. Neither of the previous instalments hit the mark, and the latest entry hasn’t for me either.
The cast is solid and it’s not a poorly made film. It’s just boring.
My biggest gripe is that I just didn’t care about any of the characters, they’re just dropped on us having yada yada yada something in space and returned to earth with superpowers.
I wonder if it’s due to them being a group? With Superman, Spider-Man, Batman et al they work alone, they have a single origin story. The FF just came back from space with powers as a group. Why do I (as the viewer) care?
Superman 2025 did it so much better and was by far the better superhero I’ve seen this year.
I want these leisurely distractions to adapt to my life, not the other way around. I sigh every time another MCU or Star Wars series gets announced. Great, more work. And yes, I know nobody is forcing me to watch them. But as a fan of both, I can’t just pretend they don’t exist either.
This is my biggest fear about Amazon’s Bond project. All I want is a good film every couple of years. When minor characters start getting their own eight-hour TV shows, I have trouble working up the proper motivation to take it all in.
So anyway, I'm at Thor: The Dark World again. I'm still grooving with these early phases. I remember the exciting days when it was all fresh and new. I fondly remember the feast that was 2012's The Avengers, the first time we pulled "so many" different characters into a single superhero film. It's become common place now. The magic is lost.
I hope DC takes center stage again. And yes, I regret the fact that Snyder's vision wasn't given the time and patience to develop its own path. DC had something great going there, in my opinion.
I decided to give the film another go, I struggled with the first 30 minutes I think the casting is not great unfortunately. Saying all that the space scenes were pretty good to be fair, being a sci fi fan I appreciated the Galactus first meeting there were a few awesome moments.
I do enjoy the retro future from a visual point of view.
Another thing that annoyed me was that the Baxter Building seemed to be full of circular rooms: their bedrooms and bathrooms and living space etc. were all circular. Well how do those fit together in a building with a square footprint? I know it's a film and you shouldn't get hung up on these things but it keep nagging at me- "well how does the room the other side of that wall look???" :D
Yeah, agreed about casting too. I like Pascal (the thing about him being over-exposed is a bit silly I think) but I didn't think he really brought anything to this. Also I think Sue's character was perhaps a bit too flawless and perfect, laughing at the guys- she sort of felt like she'd been written by a man.
One thing I wasn't keen on:
If using the teleporter had somehow attracted the Surfer's attention, or Galactus used teleportation himself or something and Reed uses the tech, then fine; but to just have it conveniently lying around, nah. I was really underwhelmed by that decision.
