Please don’t tell their origin story again. There have already been enough fantastic 4 flops.

But it'll be this director's version. Lol

Really looking forward to Silver Surfer telling Reed Richards YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT FUCK!

My favourite part was when he said "It's Dooming time" and doomed all over the place.

Isn't that a dr.doom line?

Ah yes the annual minimum effort F4 movie just so they can keep the licence away from Marvel

Nope. Disney bought 21st Century Fox five years ago. This is an MCU movie.

So it might be ok but probably not

Jfc, they're going to fuck this one up too.

Not because of her, that's fine. It's that out of all the possibilities they have, they're going with one of the two most obvious picks, and that's a bad sign for them just letting the FF stand as the cultural entity that they are.

A new movie with any version of Doom, or the surfer is going to be a flop because it has already been done. You can't disconnect the previous movies, especially not by essentially just using an alt version of a character.

Julia Garner is a porcelain doll, enchanted by a witch or warlock, capable of autonomous movement and human behavior.

This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a fact. And only I am capable of teaching her how to love.

I’m just annoyed that they are wasting Julia Garner when she could be spending that time acting in a better movie.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

So there just sealing her and the surfer? Instead of him making the deal she does? Why?

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I want this to do well just for her, she is brilliant to watch just hope she the right roles moving forward.

So they're intent on pushing forward with the doomed version of the Ultimate Universe, where Reed becomes a psycho dictator and wants to control the world and the invisible Woman falls in love with Ben who loses his rock shell but keeps his strength.

The Silver Surfer is a sexy robot chick and Perter Parker is killed off for Miles Morales to take over.

I'm glad I gave up on the MCU after Endgame. Since nothing makes sense anymore and I'm not giving Disney money to watch their bloated overbudget shows.
