Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ (7/25)

[Roid Jones]

Marvel and Disney are gonna pretend they're happy with that, but they aren't. not terrible though. this should have been a massive tentpole

Of course Marvel/Disney want financial success but did they even expect the movie to be a 'massive tentpole'

 

[Roid Jones]

Comic films in general are clearly down interest just isn't there like that anymore. Avengers next year will be the real test.

I agree, I think people look at past marvel success, coupled with characters they know and expect industry breaking numbers for every film without considering any other factors

Plays it too safe.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Next year’s SDCC might be generational.

por que?

 

[Roid Jones]

Pedro is a good actor and he showed it again in this film but he's still not Mr Fantastic

 

[Roid Jones]

all PAWGs are obedient tho

Only for HVM, Sue would have listened to T'Challa or Namor

 

[Ironman]

Well disney got a few billion dollar movies lined up next year with doomsday and avatar

This year

As far as interest goes, Avengers will be more than fine.

por que?

Would be five months before Doomsday for Marvel, on the cusp of Spidey doing what he usually does at the box office. They are likely gonna want to capitalize off the hype ala DP&W and go big with their presentation next year. Bigger than 2024 but not as crazy as 2019 is what I would guess. Think they learned a big lesson from that.

DC would have Supergirl and (possibly?) Lanterns kicked off by that time. Clayface in September. Fans will want to know what else is on the horizon and I bet Gunn would be game to let ‘em know then. The Batman: Part II starts filming next January. Could get a big update on that.

Then you got the possibility of Legendary (Dune), Sony (Beyond the Spider-Verse), Lucasfilm (Star Wars), etc. showing up. shyt could be massive on the Hall H front. Take away these studio reveals though and you still got a dope as fukk experience for the fans at Comic-Con. This won't be another E3 situation.

DC won this one, Superman it's miles better than this movie.

It was a solid 7/10

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Superman felt more unfocused to me.

And superman and Lois were like the least likable people in the movie. The real advantage it had was more action, overall. But it felt like a bunch of scenes stitched together rather than a real story

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

This is the type of worldbuilding I wanted more of.. I know the director said that they ain't gonna have an extended cut so hopefully they have a bunch of deleted scenes on the 4K

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Still wanted Cillian Murphy as Doom SMDH

I like Robert Downey Jr but this casting still bothers me
