marvelcollector Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Story: Two friends (who end up being Mr. Fantastic and The Thing), starts with them being really young. An event happens at 16 that changes them, instead of being superheroes, they are basically owned by the government and used as weapons. So, basically, they're going to it up again.

Bosco685 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 I saw that. There is another article about them gaining their powers at 16 years old, and meeting Sue and her brother later on in life. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boboset Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 It amazes me that Fox hasn't learned ANYTHING from the way that Disney/Marvel has handled their properties. Truly baffling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly baffling... I really want to see a good Fantastic Four movie. I really do. This isn't winning me over. In all seriousness, I don't think it can be done in movie form. Too many characters plus a villain(s). Origin stories for all, and then a plot? Can't be done in two hours of screen time. Just look at Spider-Man 3 and Batman 3. The FF would be better off as a tv series, where they have the time to flesh out all the characters on a weekly basis. Without Michael Chiklis, who is the kiss of death.

jra1985 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Fox will never give up the rights to FF and they will never make a good FF movie either because they don't give a mess about it. they know they will make money on it regardless of quality.

Give the rights back to Disney! I mean... I agree. MIght as well keep your pants around your ankles because Fox is never giving up the rights to FF or Spider-Man. After the whole Daredevil-Galactus-Silver Surfer-Elektra movie rights situation earlier this year, I think behind the scenes the studios parted on bad terms. - Fox wanted to keep Daredevil - Marvel took it back - Marvel wanted Galactus and Silver Surfer - Fox kept them - Marvel assumed they got Elektra back in the mix with Daredevil - Fox pointed out otherwise. Fox Doesn't Want To Give Up Galactus, Marvel Studios To Get Daredevil Back? We may have seen a real representation of Galactus in Avengers 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, or even an Inhumans movie.

backtomarvel Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ARRRGH. Marvel will just keep cranking out solid movies with $500mm worldwide as the bar. Fox can keep trying, but failing. Eventually Marvel will get ahold of it, fold the FF into the cinematic universe and off we go. I also agree about being better on TV. I think 13 one-hour episodes (or should I say 'issues') and watching it on demand with no commercials is going to trump 3/4 of the comic movies that have been made.

You nailed the point in the TV idea! For years I`ve alway believed that the FF gang is better suited for TV series. There is so much characters within this comic book series that need be built into a great enjoyment to watch. No 2-hour feature movies are enough to flesh out the major characters in ONE shot! Look to how Star Wars was done and now at 6 movies later ... it's still not enough. Already we're gonna see the 7th movie coming. That is why Marvel is taking their time in paving over with all the Avengers/Iron Man/Thor/Hulk storylines. Fox will never grasp how it should be. I won't be watching this FF movie.
