Looks like all the F4 will get next MCU phase will be cameo in other movies
The Incredibles is the best Fantastic 4 movie by a longshot
Haven’t there been like half a dozen Fantastic 4 movies by this point that all ate shit?
It already broke even in the first week, so idk if it counts as eating shit
I think it’s more so that people who care about MCU slop went and saw it week one, and general theatre goers aren’t choosing to watch a Fantastic Four film. What few people are going to see it are probably like “oh I like Pedro Pascal, I guess I’ll go see this”
I mean, that’s why I went to see it. It was ok
I went hoping they could do something to not make the FF boring, but nah. This was the same old family crap
they are currently 5 at this point (the one from the 90’s that never released, 2 from the early 2000, the fox reboot Fant4stic in 2015 and now the mcu one)
and they all suck!
They keep trying Fantastic 4
Have they succeeded once?
Just fucking let it die.
I get a traditional family white 60s america vibe from Fantastic Four and I suspect they keep trying to push them because they think this family can appeal to chuds.
I know very little beyond them being stretchy rocky flamey invisible so I could be way off base but particularly in the Marvel Rivals community there’s weird behaviour about the wife and husband that made me uncomfortable when I was dipping my toe into that game.
Tangentially related but every woman’s body type in Marvel is literally the fucking same and it irks me, not to mention like 70% of their women are blonde
Well… They just can’t thing of anything new, they will restart this bullshit every few years until it will click with the audience. Just slop after slop.
the 1960s cartoon is fun to laugh at, idk if it’s “good”
Yeah I associate the Fantastic Four with Hanna-Barbara shit like Birdman or the Superfriends
Something goofy from the 1970s
Please
Superman wasnt just good. It was woke.
Fantastic four is ultimately fine (good visuals and acting) but superman just feels more human. No scene in fantastic four hits as hard as that boravia scene.
Also the fantastic four kinda basically runs their own world rubs me in the wrong way.
Go see Together instead because my friend literally made it
You’re friends with Dave Franco?
Lmao no
Michael Shanks, writer/director
the stargate guy?
I think i’ve worked with or met basically everyone on SG-1 except for him, he keeps dodging me lmao.
High on my list
I was planning on going this afternoon just because it’s NEON and their movies don’t usually come to my local theater, and are gone super fast (Cuckoo was only here from Fri-Wed of one week).
Can you ask him what’s up with this then?

yeah, much like the accusations previously from a comic artist who went off way too early, it’s absolute bullshit.
half of this movie is basically his personal life which the general public won’t know, he submitted a draft in 2019 well before he met Brie & Franco and well before the other people ever tried to contact Brie & Franco, the other movie is an entirely different premise and the other movie even fucked up by getting the wrong Spice Girls album lmao
Has anybody seen it? Why is it doing so badly?
They’re a boring team, and they’re at the sour spot between “solo protagonist” (Spider-Man, Captain Marvel) and “ensemble of supers” (X-Men, Avengers) that just keeps failing miserably but they keep trying to make them. Suicide Squad managed to be an ensemble, but they killed enough off for cheap heat/did not characterize enough of them that it ended up in the same segment as F4.
did not characterize enough of them
Excuse me?! What about the guy who can climb anything? Or Katana? I hear her sword can trap the souls of it’s victims!
Mass audiences have never, ever cared about the Fantastic Four. Every attempt to make the Fantastic Four a thing in movies has flopped.
The only good thing about any Fantastic Four story is Dr. Doom and they just fucking refuse to put a good representation of that character into a Fantastic Four movie.
kinda sad how the best version of dr doom is from the unreleased movie from 1994
it’s less sad when you consider that is also the best f4 movie
How do they usually fail at Doom?
Its kinda brutal that the incredibles scratched that itch that producers of the f4 movies seem to try to get
This. As someone who grew up reading Marvel I always avoided the FF because they seemed cheesy. Movie adaptations just prove that they are a relic of the 60s
I think it was ok. The fans saw it, but the novelty of superhero movies has evaporated. And Superman was better.
I doubt anything is wrong with it. People don’t go to the theater anymore.
While that may factor a bit here, Superman and jurassic world did have good box office success
It looking more that the MCU doesnt have the same pull as before
spoiler
obviously that’s not the reason people don’t go to the movies anymore, but I wish it was at least a factor
I was considering going because I really like the fantastic 4 and I haven’t been to the movies in years, but I really just don’t have the funds to do it
I don’t go to the theater much anymore: I went to 3 movies last year I think. I fell for the hype this could be worthwhile but it wasn’t. It sucked as an MCU film and a movie in general. It feels like outdated 60s anachronistic schlock
I thought F4 was really good and most the discourse I saw was positive. Honestly kinda surprised to hear this news.
They’re nobodies compared to Superman and Superman is all over the headlines right now
was alright
The movie was really mid and people are making this out to be"Marvel is so BACK!". Story was basically them going to space, meeting galactis where he demands susan storm give her baby to him because he is marvel jesus. They tell him no and escape back to earth where they prepare for galactis to come and fight him off.
I’d watch a Dr. Doom movie tho
every time they try to do a ff4 movie they try to sidestep the simple fact that you need to adapt books of doom as a movie first or none of the dynamics that make doom and the ff4 interesting will ever be established.
you cannot adapt the craptastic four. learn the fucking lesson already.
F4 was boring as fuck. The movie I thought it was going to be was boring and it had even less shit going on than that. There were like no characters, it felt so empty. I couldn’t believe how little was happening in that movie.
The obsession with box office returns is such a cancer. Cretins still say we can’t make comedy and romcoms films because people are so easily offended. Is it taking an offence when naked racism, homophobia and transphobia no longer evokes that defense response we call laughter?
But why pay to watch something that is in the most hit and miss genre when you have streaming? Or just get that kind of bigotry for free in short form videos? You will never be 12 and watching Ace Ventura for the first time again.
It’s the economic conditions that have made the cinema is just a 2D versions of those 4D theme park rides now. Only the special effects are regressing back to those rides too with AI generated slop.
It would have made 1000 billion if they gave the baby to galactus.
The audience heard “fantastic four is actually fascist and pro life!” And decided to nope out #WokeVenge #wokerising

I feel like the MCU has pivoted towards catering to young kids instead of mainstream audiences. This movie was weak
I feel like the MCU has pivoted towards catering to young kids instead of mainstream audiences
Back when MCU started getting big I felt like it was already catering to young kids because of how vapid it was.
Ironically, there are many movies geared at young kids that I find better and deeper than the MCU
I went to see it in IMAX opening Thursday night and I really wish I could get that money back. I fell for the hype. It was silly and childish like the comic movies when I was a kid
“80% drop from its debut”
not too surprising, you’re either gonna see a fantastic four movie on opening weekend, or not at all
