paperheart Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I have been collecting FF since the late 70's and still do. I don't understand why people are so upset about this movie. Yeah based on everything I have read and seen IMO it is going to suck which based on my personal preferences, but at the same time this is FF in name only and was not made for me but rather another generation of movie goers. Maybe the younger generation that has never read FF will enjoy it for was it and Fox is trying to create a franchise for them. On the flip side maybe this is/ was going to be part two of Chronicle and Fox reworked it in a hurry to keep the rights from going back to Marvel. How is this different from the CW Flash show? The CW show is much different then those Carmine Infantino Flash comics I treasured or the same with the Arrow show is much different from the Neal Adams and Mike Grell Green Arrow comics. Chronicle was a brilliant movie if FF is at that level,then we have a winner. Guardians of the Galaxy made good money this summer and the characters were only loosely based on their comic counterparts. I'm not seeing a huge difference here to be honest. And BH6 is pretty much BH6 in name only. Disney took huge liberties with that one. And that movie is doing just fine. Let's face it, the fan boys are not necessarily needed to make these movies hits. Yes, but both of those movies you mentioned ended up getting the support of fanboys. In fact, most fanboys seemed to be in support of them before they even saw the movie. This situation is quite different as the fanboys are completely against this from the start. another slight difference is that Fantastic Four is the one of the cornerstones of the entire Lee/Kirby Marvel Universe while GOTG and BH6 are both comics/characters that no one gave a rats azz about. who was going to get up in arms if they butchered GOTG? if it looks like they are taking a steaming dump on Stan/Jack's masterpiece, i understand the outrage.

This +1000, you can't turn you back on your roots completely. It seems amazing that if the movie is in name only how they can still claim rights to the franchise.

Bosco685 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Disney And Fox Bosses Respond To FANTASTIC FOUR Comic Book Cancellation Asked if he felt bringing an end to the series was being done to harm the Marvel properties owned by Fox, Gianopulos responded, "No, I don’t think so. I don’t know how that decision came about. The comic was not a huge seller. The Fantastic Four is a very established group of characters, and the film is awesome. Yeah, I think…I don’t know how that played into their decision, but it wasn’t…the book wasn’t selling as well as others." He also points out that it doesn't really matter from their perspective, something Horn reiterated. "Fully independent decision, by the way, I didn’t even know about it.

True, except that the movie has the potential to trash the name and reputation of the comic and sully the legacy of those who created it. I have no problem with any studio making a superhero movie of any type they want. But if the movie makes Victor Von Doom an internet baddie and changes the relationships between members of the Fantastic Four, then the studio should use new names for the characters and re-title their movie. To call this a Fantastic Four movie comes perilously close to trademark infringement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
