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

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.

What theyre doing to Doom is what made me decide not to see it.

They don't understand the characters well enough to make a proper movie with them so they are just turning them into generic caricatures of popular movie tropes.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
