My favorite Fantastic Four were in Planetary too bad adapting that series into anything on screen would probably be impossible

TheFallenEvincar posted:My favorite Fantastic Four were in Planetary Yeah sadly as fantastic as Planetary is there's no way it can ever be adopted into film. Fantastic book though, I love the little nods to established characters. The Batman crossover was great, the team meets all the various incarnations of him

FF should be 50's scifi meets Cronenberg. So the Fly basically. Hell, the Fly is basically Reed Richards turning into a fly instead of a stretchy man.

Even as someone for whom Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors, I really struggle to see why that is the take some people are convinced is right for FF

I want the tone of a FF movie to basically be the tone of the cartoon Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Big, brash, fun, goofy, weird, and charming. Good sense of humor about itself, but still tells a good story. I always loved Peyton Reed's idea of a 1960s-set Fantastic Four movie with a similar style to his Down with Love. Now that he's done Ant-Man he's shown he has the chops.

Fox owns x-men and Fantastic 4. Why don't they just adapt that story where Reed beats Magneto with a wooden gun. I'd go see that in the theaters.

it's not like I'm surrounded by people in the real world who are talking about the Marvel movies anymore frequently though that'd be annoying it's just like "You see Civil War?" "Yeah, my SO dragged my rear end to it" or "Did you see Batman v Superman? What a headache" "Yeah haha I was high as gently caress." and that's like the height of it because we're not going to start jabbering about Black Panther for like ten minutes or something

I know plenty of people with kids, so a lot more people will have seen The Jungle Book than any of the movies you mentioned. These people, coincidentally, have already or are going to see Deadpool because they rely on word of mouth, particularly once things hit video where they see most of their movies. It felt like every adult I knew was talking about Deadpool when it came out, I haven't heard a peep about BvS or Civil War.

Okay I actually went out and tracked down a copy of this after listening to that podcast about it the other day and it's definitely a LOT better than I remembered. Jigsaw and Loony Bin Jim are awesome villains, the pace is (mostly) great, there's some really good action sequences (including the finale where Frank works his way up an abandoned hotel which is full of just about every gang in the city), there's some great cinematography and colour work and editing in parts, they really don't hold back on the violence or the gore, there's a bunch of really dark humour spread throughout it and it sure as hell doesn't take itself too seriously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp9OkXHXas4 The bad: the front half drags a bit, the plot point where the Feds make a deal with Jigsaw didn't quite ring true to the film's interior logic, the score wasn't great and the side plot with the dead Fed agent's family either needed to be punched up or pulled back. My main problem (and I guess a major factor in the general audience's reaction to the film) was the I just didn't buy Ray Stevenson as The Punisher. He just looked and emoted way too much like a slightly annoyed middleaged Dad rather than a guy who'd been obsessively hunting down and murdering gangsters for five years.

Johnathan Hickman writes a really amazing Reed Richards. If anything just hire Hickman to do the screenplay and it'd probably be good. They need to not have them be young but old and with kids because Franklin and Valerie are pretty amazing.

The correct tone for Fantastic Four is fun Interstellar. Early Fantastic Four's most popular story is about God trying to eat Earth, our heroes stealing the embodiment of destruction, using mutually-assured destruction to tell God to gently caress off, and then returning the embodiment of destruction to God in order to save the world. Like if it's it not that level of crazy or more then you're doing it wrong.

Fun Fact: I regularly visit the subway station where Frank's hidden base is located near in War Zone. It's the Lionel Groulx metro station in Montreal. Also, they filmed some scenes in the awesome abandoned building on my old college campus, Britain Hall. Used to sneak in there all the time, it's like a horror movie set.

I mainly remember the stuff you praised, that the action kicks rear end, and the lead villains are a lot of fun.

Chairman Capone posted:I feel like the first Fantastic 4 trailer deliberately evoked the first Interstellar trailer. I think a good modern Fantastic Four movie should really move a lot of the recent stuff that Hickman did in his recent runs to the foreground. Like the recent reboot sort of had, Hickman's run has the same call to action to start dreaming again that Interstellar and Tomorrowland have. Start with Reed as this brilliant scientist in his mid-thirties who runs the Future Foundation in the Baxter Building. Have the stuff of the recent comics run be about him trying to fix everything through science. Have the bad guy be Kang the Conquerer and have a big cosmic adventure through time and space. Have Kang essentially mirror Reed at his most extreme and use it to teach Reed that his pursuits are nothing without his family to anchor him. Maybe even have the climax of the film being Kang offering Reed some ultimate knowledge or allowing Reed to work with him, but Reed turning it down. Hell even have Kang be an alternate universe Reede whose Sue, Johnny, and Ben died during the experiment. Either way, they should make it about Kang and it should have both space travel, time travel, and parallel universes. Like at minimum.
