i can't figure this movie out

 

this is incredibly late in the game for, basically, the first tease of the movie... rumors are that it's not particularly good (possibly because of the lack of information), but I think that trailer looks ok - definitely different than the normal comic movie - and I want it to do well, because FOX seems to have turned around the X-Men franchise again and there's been rumors for a while now that F4 and the X-Men universe are one and the same and that they'll eventually crossover

I really don't even know what to expect or think.

 

On one hand, they have some good actors in these roles.  On the other hand, changing things like the Johnny and Sue (I guess she is adopted from what I heard) is kind of odd.  I guess it's not a big deal, especially if the director REALLY wanted those particular actors (they are good actors) and felt it would help the movie.

 

At least the movie seems more dark and inline with the X-Men movies.   So I'm still kind of at a wait and see approach, I won't be flocking to the theatre on release unless some early reviews are amazing.  I'm not a huge FF4 fan anyway, other than Doom/Surfer/Galactus being involved there.  I'm keeping an open mind though.

Let's call it was it is: The Johnny/Sue storm change comes out of Fox's need to have a token black guy on the team.

This wouldve been okay if there wasnt a plethora of other idiotic changes.

This is the only movie involving Marvel charcters I've committed to not seeing ahead of time. If it fails horribly then Fox will likely give up on it, and that's one more property Marvel has access to and one less studio trying to cash in on Marvel's recent success and oversaturating the market with crappy superhero movies.

Actually, moron, Josh Trank worked with Michael B. Jordan in Chronicle and wanted him for this role. Kudos to Fox for accepting that race is irrelevant to what makes Johnny Storm the human torch.

Now give me more of this post-15987-142241988706_thumb.jpg

lol right this does sound a lot better than "we wanted to appeal to every demographic"

but hey I'm sure you're extreme childlike reaction means you're not one to let stuff like that go over your head

Michael B. Jordan is one of the best young actors in the business.  I'm not sure this is the "token black guy" thing.  He's a great actor.  I remember seeing him in The Wire early on, Friday Night Lights, and then he was good in Chronicle and excellent in Fruitvale Station.  This isn't just some Wayans brother thrown in for comic relief.   

 

What I'm more worried about other than the fact they have a black guy in there is how they do Doom.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
