I do want enough of a universe so it feels like the mythology is developed and revisiting it would be interesting, which is different than cutting off in the middle of a story.

The Dark Tower should feel like The Fellowship of the Ring. A movie where you’ve become so engaged in the story that you’re surprised when the end of the movie suddenly cuts it off, and you immediately want to return to Middle-Earth and follow more of the main characters’ adventures.

Get out of my brain. The key to GotG is that they’re a ragtag group of people coming together as a family. If the family is already established and have a great rapport, it would be an absolute JOY to watch them go into the Negative Zone (as one example) and riff on each other while fighting Annhilus. The ONLY reason…

With all the comic book movies that have come out and been hits, the idea that the F4 simply CANNOT be in a good movie is so obviously, hilariously wrong. Tim Story was a poor choice and Trank’s version was doomed (no pun i swear) from the get go. Get the right talent involved, and it’ll be great. Easier said than…

I mean kind of, but I think Rob’s main point was that: the question asker’s past reasons for disliking the incoming Doctors were all somewhat lame reasons, and the question asker ended up getting over those fears and liking the Doctors anyways, so dwelling on Incoming Doctor Fear just seems like a bit of a waste of…

Man, Rob really is a postman from the future. I am not aware of any film titled “The Invincibles”. So I guess it hasn’t been made yet.

Now, “The Incredibles” is a great Fantastic Four analog that Fox should study.

;)

But yes, it is possible to make a good FF film, but no one at Fox has the will to make it happen.

I was about to post something like this. You can’t say that a FF movie that’s true to the source has been proven not to work, when no one has made an FF movie that’s true to the source yet. Doctor Doom was some sort of robot golem thing in the 2005 movie for crying out loud. Fox hasn’t even gotten close to doing…

We already have a great Fantastic Four movie that is all about their Family dynamic.

Groot looked pretty good.

Point of order, the Corman FF movie was not made to be deliberately bad as the letter writer seems to think. It was made on the cheap with no plans for release but that doesn’t mean the people behind it weren’t taking their jobs seriously or doing their best work. The recent documentary about it is worth a look.

I think Rob is seriously overstating the difficulty of getting the tone of a Fantastic Four movie right. Both Guardians of the Galaxy movies were, tonally, right about where the FF needs to be, as was The Force Awakens. The problem is that Fox, now, is making these movies mostly out of spite, and doesn’t really care…

oh god, now I SO want Angelyne to be Batman.

All I can think of is Kylie Jenner sitting in her home theater room playing clips of her on loop, fervently taking notes.

I’m from suburban Minneapolis and I remember knowing who she was in junior high in the late 80s because her billboard was in the opening credits of “Moonlighting”!

You know what I mean though. Surely the hardcore conservatives of the MCU Congress would be railing against being part of the WORLD Security Council. And you know they’d be going full isolationist after the Chitauri attack.

Gods die. They get better.

It’s common sense really

That’s something I liked in the first run of the Ultimates: Thor was portrayed as someone with a following of some neo-pagan activists and that was even before they made clear that he is not a nutjob with a super-tech hammer, but the real deal. I wished they would have used that for the MCU.
