Stan has always been like that, so his point of view on this was predictable. He said all the same things about Marvel's Ultimate universe changes as well. I'm not saying the movie won't stink, but if it does it won't be because of minor story changes like Johnny Storm being black, it'll mostly be because Fox hasn't figured out how to make superhero films yet.
minor story change. the whole dynamic of the family has been changed. and thats more than totally changing the appearance of some of the characters
A major story change to the 305 people who know the actual history of the Fantastic Four AND are in the target demographic for who the movie is targeted towards. But to the rest of the world....they don't know or care. But there's a lot more people who think 'oh that kid from the wire and/or Friday night lights is in it? Maybe I'll give it a chance'. And a lot more black people who probably wouldn't have seen it but now will because Human Torch is a black guy.
.... I am one of those 300 ...... and you forgot to mention the pale legs in desperate need of sunlight. As for this movie...... I'm going to see it with an open mind, and will likely enjoy it for whatever it is. I've been reading the FF since the mid 60's...... and I don't care if they get turned into radioactive Smurfs.... my favorite super group of all time will get the benefit of the doubt from me. GOD BLESS...

I'm in the 300 as well, but I don't think it's fair to say that the change in the Storm family is enough to sink the movie, as most people are condemning it to. It will be something else, such as poor writing, that does it. (thumbs u
