With the rest of the world already concluding that the rights will revert back to Marvel, Fox has to reaffirm their rights, however weak their case may be. Hopefully.
There's zero chance another Fox F4 movie will be a success for them. Not with Simon Kinberg in charge once again, and especially not with Fox's cheapskate ways.

Give it to whomever made Deadpool, at least they read comic books and care about fun.
And no, you can't use the same cast, you fucked that up already by throwing these great actors into a dumpster fire.
Groot, Rocket, Black Panther, Ant Man, Deadpool, Dr Strange, and the time travel goofiness of DOFP, and we still got people whining that one of the oldest stories in comics and one of the best villains are too hard to adapt.
Fucking try.

Since the rights aren't going to revert can't marvel just make up new characters that are like doom and reed richards except for name?

Good I hope they do it, it will bomb again maybe studios will finally get the message to reduce the number of superhero movies.

Stop hurting people like this, Fox. Please.
the 6 out of hundreds a year is too much.
What will happen is they reduce the amount of bad superhero movies

I guess so? I've never liked F4 at all. even as a kid.
I get the argument around other stuff like Guardians and would be happily proven wrong. but it's just so flimsy as a concept.

No, they have to learn from their mistakes and they need to do it the hard way, since they obviously lack the sense to do the right thing in the first place.
People with short memories forgetting how many awful comic book films the 90s had.

i didn't see the film, how did they explain the human torch and invisible woman? was one of them adopted?

You can't make a sequel after such a failure nobody will take it seriously.
No more flimsy then a rich guy dressing as a bat, or an alien getting super strong from the sun or a magical warrior from an island paradise spreading love and peace
We have been spoiled the last few years, that is for damn sure

Seriously, how would Harry Potter fans react if WB said adapting Voldemort was too hard, so they turned him into an evil politician who occasionally puts on magic shows and hates real Wizards? Or that Hedwig used too much CGI, so they turned his owl into his pet dog and he dies in the first movie? And Neville was just another kid from Harry's neighborhood who lucked into the same school because he just happened to be there when Harry was invited?
This is the state of FF at Fox.

the cast is great tbh
yeah, there is suppose to be some kind of beef about it but like a lot of plot points the movies picks ups and drops them just as quick

This is completely the wrong reasoning. This is almost as clueless as the execs behind the actual movie. Almost.

Sue is adopted and originally from Kosovo. They just had that in there for a shitty scene between her and Reed where she can drop a generic Russian accent.

Even though the cast probably wasn't the problem with that movie you're going to have a hard time selling the same people with the same property when the last time those people were involved it ended up as a shitshow.

They need to make quality over quantity, I am not advocating no more superhero movies, just that they reign them in in a bit and ensure the source material is handled with respect and that the resulting production is taken seriously. Also genre fatigue is a very real thing and we are seeing it in effect.
Instead the studio just start seeing dollar signs and approve cheap cash grabs rather than quality products.

People say this all the time and there is little to no proof to support this claim.

2004 cast is superior
It's just really bad movie fatigue.

Apparently.
Sue was adopted. Johnny was Dr. Storm's rebellious street racing son if I remember correctly.

Stop keeping doom from mcu. He would be the alternative to Loki as the villain who always crops up but is never taken lightly.
