I feel like the fantastic 4 has had more reboots that were consistent disappointments than any other IP. Are we still on super hero movie fatigue,

I think we're on movie fatigue and bad movie fatigue. All kinds of movies are struggling right now and Marvel has been 50/50 on their movie quality since Endgame. Mixed with nothing overall enticing people to theaters, it's been a bad mix.
Xmen, Fantastic 4, and Blade are expected to be the thing that gets people back into the MCU though. Hell, Deadpool and Wolverine is the only MCU movie in theaters this year.
You can strike out Blade. Just lost another director and is firmly stuck in development hell. Rumour has it Mahershala Ali has also rejected a script that had him be a side character in his own movie, as a mentor for a bunch of teenage vampire hunters.
Thank God. That sounds dumb as hell.
But also, I wouldn't be surprised to see Blade appear in a movie to entice people into future projects.
Fantastic Four has only had one movie reboot. Two if you count the unreleased one from the 90s.
The unreleased one has an unironic charm in it. I’m not sure it would have been viable in theaters but i liked it. But all the movies that made it to theaters were just very blah
I think the latest one is at least fascinating for how bad it is.
It’s a super hero movie that forgot it’s supposed to be super hero movie. It’s not until the last 5 minutes it makes the grand realization it’s actually supposed to be a super hero movie, so it rushes through the super hero part as fast as possible just to get that done.
DeBrie Bardeaux was amazing in that
Helped me get my rocks off, at least
activating pedant mode
1960s*. No apostrophe needed
No apostrophe? And let an s right next to defenceless digit's?
Yeah, the apostrophe is for shortened years, like the '60s
Yes!
I don’t mind pedantic comments nearly as much when the author owns it. Well done! (Also, the unnecessary apostrophe bugged me, too.)
The only other grammar mistakes that really gets me is pluralizing acronyms with apostrophes. It's the ABCs, not the ABC's!
I have no idea why they bug me...maybe because my brain automatically tries to read it as possessive
Well, the ABC's legal department wants to disagree with you ;)
Thanks, fixed.
Sounds interesting. The FF are characters that I really like in concept, but if you ask me my favorite stories I can't think of one's outside my head. We'll see what they do with them.
I'd love to see the trial of Reed Richards. Like, imagine a universe where Reed has ultimate nullifier, Doom has the surf board, and Galactuis is threatening to devour Earth. So Reed uses the threat against Galactus to depower Doom and protect Earth, but then Galactus goes on to devour many more worlds, like Titan, Xandar, and Skrullos, and Reed has to stand trial before Arishem, Ego, and other Celestials. His lawyer is Thanos, who negotiates banishment for the FF and Doom from this universe to one where an incursion is looming and threatening the entire Multiverse, in the hopes that the Reed Family and Doom can figure out how to prevent it.
That's actually a great pitch.

This is what I wanted from this. It's the same device that worked for Captain America. You give them a standalone period piece and then at the end they fall through time and do a big team up movie.
Really didn't expect to see another avengers title so soon. Feel like this multiverse situation should have led to Battleworld.
I didn’t expect a new Avengers movie either. I wonder who will be the protagonists though, and I hope they’ll put an end to that multiverse BS too.
Well it's been nearly 5 years since endgame, so it's about on track.
Are they changing the gender of the Silver Surfer? I don't like the concept but I hope I'm proved wrong.
I would have preferred they'd use an original female character and write it properly rather than switching the gender. Marvel has done some great things with then unknown characters or not too popular characters such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, just because they have proper casting and proper script.
It's not just a gender swap, it's the wife of Norrin Radd. Ideally this would be an excuse to have an experienced Silver Surfer now, and do an actual Norrin Radd introduction in the main universe later.
Ok, that sounds interesting. I hope it is like you say.
Well it's an alternate universe, so could be the mcu universe silver surfer is still Norrin Radd
