The thing is, though, that if this movie fails badly enough to make the prospect of a sequel (or even god forbid another reboot) untenable, it should force Fox to the table.

Everyone knows a giant Thing is better. Am I right ladies

That's why I am actually encouraged by this news. I now feel like this movie has every chance of failing spectacularly, which might eventually result in the reversion of rights to Marvel Studios (probably through negotiation).

Man, I just thought he looked terrible. Even though he did basically look more like the earliest Kirby versions of The Thing, I personally prefer the later super-sized incarnations (for which you really need to use CGI).

Not at all, he is horrible. Incidentally if anything was executed more poorly than their depiction of Doctor Doom, it was their depiction of The Thing. He looks like a giant orange rubber turd.

Seriously, why can't they get Doctor Doom right?? It pretty irritating that Fox still has the rights and continue to mangle my favorite villain in new and exciting ways.

"It Was A Good Day" reminds me of Metallica's "One" off of …And Justice For All. Both were tonally dissimilar from the rest of their album, and both became breakout hits.

Yes, but only because glasses.

He nailed "nerd" as well as anyone ever.

That line fucking kills me every time.

Yeah, definitely eastern Penn/south Jersey.

I believe Ms. Bates was affecting a Philly accent.

He micromanages EVERYTHING. I think he's a little more hands off since the takeover, but he used to literally wander the halls of the offices looking for ways to cut fractional costs. Like a fucking maniac.

Anything I have to do to contribute to Doctor Doom coming into the MCU fold, I will do it.

Right. Just like when I call Asian people Yellowskins.

Fuck you, America.

God, I haven't slept the same since my old box fan burned out. Which was in 1988, I believe.

X Files was a mash-up of Silence of the Lambs, JFK, and a shitload of aliens.

I still believe that, when all is said and done, all three films might be edited down to one exceptional movie.
