whats slayvens opinion on this

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

There's no question about that. The real question is whether this will be worse than the 1994 one.

 

[Matt_C]

If the rights won't return to Marvel, at least make him

Spoiler

spank Apocalypse at the end of the next X-Men movie. Singer and co. could do him justice.

 

[Plasticine]

 

[G-Fex]

Our computer programmer people.

my money is on Samoa Joe beating doom here

 

[……forgetit]

arent all programmers anti social?

Nah, we just get really serious when we work. A lot of us love to party.

 

[Slayven]

whats slayvens opinion on this

I am usually meh on most shit, but I am about to go Goodjobbob on this.

 

[J10]

whats slayvens opinion on this

Slayven just went into cardiac arrest. Some of the rest of us aren't far behind.

 

[lazygecko]

Alright. Boycott this crap.

 

[Raptor]

And we thought a damn cloud being galactus was bad....

 

[The Silver]

If the rights won't return to Marvel, at least make him

I don't trust them either when they keep making Cyclops into a simp.

 

[StoopKid]

I fear this might be the beginning of the end for superhero movies.

With shit like this coming out and lord knows what terrible crap sony will put out.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

They need to focus on doing one of the xmen right maybe the 9th time will be a charm in the Apocalypse movie.

 

[……forgetit]

Alright. Boycott this crap.

That implies I was planning on seeing it in the first place.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I dunno. The villains in The Dark Knight Trilogy were pretty different from their comic book selves, were people mad over that?

 

[Sobriquet]

What is his GAF name?

DOOM

 

[Bobby Roberts]

This actually sums up my feelings on this news really well.

He wears a green fedora instead of a cloak and hood, I hear.

LOL, I just tweeted something almost exactly like this. Ill-fitting sports jacket, too-tight trilby, and a No Ma'am shirt.

The mask should really have a patchy beard poking through it.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Poor Fantastic Four

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I thought they couldn't shit on Doom anymore than they did in the last two films. I was wrong. I was so very wrong.

 

[Dennis]

What is his GAF name?

DOOM

Wow, what a dud.

 

[LosDaddie]

FOX already screwed up with the Storms being different races, so it makes sense they would completely ruin one of the best Marvel villains.

 

[DarkFlow]

This movie is going to such a shit show.

 

[Masquerader]

And there was me, actually optimistic for this movie.

... BAH!

 

[Sobriquet]

Wow, what a dud.

He's been lurking for 7 years. Must have something evil up his sleeve.

 

[ZoddGutts]

It isn't really surprising. Look at what they did to Galactus.

In this version they'll just turn him into some fat dude who goes to fast food chains and eats non stop, Silver Surfer is the younger brother who drives him there.

 

[J10]

And people wonder why atheism is on the rise.

 

[jmood88]

Fox really taking a giant shit on the Fantastic Four license

This is how they get back at Marvel for marginalizing X-Men.

I wanted to give this movie the benefit of the doubt because I loved Chronicle and I'm a big fan of Michael B. Jordan but this really just seems like they're making a shitty movie to spite Marvel.

 

[wildfire]

I wasn't interested in watching a Fantastic Four movie but now I might get a good laugh out of it. I'll wait for more news.

 

[fallengorn]

I don't know guys, it might be worth it if in the climax of the film, just as D00m has the upper hand, this happens:

Mr. Fantastic: Are you happy, D00m? You'll have your revenge...
D00m: Revenge? Revenge?! This was about ethics in game journalism.

 

[UltraGunner]

He wears a green fedora instead of a cloak and hood, I hear. The face mask is to cover up his terrible neckbeard.

While he's Doom, he uses his powers to fight against the eeeevilllll SJWs trying to take away his loli animu games

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I'm going to think about this next time I complain about Marvel Studios having underwhelming villains in order to keep things in perspective.

 

[Matt_C]

They need to focus on doing one of the xmen right maybe the 9th time will be a charm in the Apocalypse movie.

Say what you will of continuity, at least First Class and Days of Future past are badass films.

 

[Slayven]

And people wonder why atheism is on the rise.

It hurts so bad, I mean at this point you are just legit shitting on the property.

 

[lovely ladies]

my money is on Samoa Joe beating doom here

lol

 

[maxcriden]

I guess I don't see a problem with this if it's a modern re-imagining. Is it really so bad?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

FOX already screwed up with the Storms being different races,

 

[J10]

Suddenly feels like they spoiled us with Ivan Vanko.

 

[Akahige]

I dunno. The villains in The Dark Knight Trilogy were pretty different from their comic book selves, were people mad over that?

Batman Begins script leaked quite a bit earlier than the movie coming out and was well received so not really, this has only had random details that the cast members have said in interviews and one set leak pic of Doctor Doom, they were mad at this before any of those thing were revealed cause they want Marvel to own and make it instead.

 

[Tecl0n]

So...d00m?

 

[Manmademan]

This is how they get back at Marvel for marginalizing X-Men.

In what alternate universe did this happen

 

[Wellscha]

Dear Marvel, sue their ass to space and get your franchises back.

 

[braves01]

Lol, apocalypse > doom at least for this incarnation of doom

 

[Deleted member 13876]

I hate this infatuation with not naming him Victor Von Doom.

They did it in the Ultimate line too...they named him Victor Van Damme. Do they think that's any less dumb?

Victor Van Damme is a much better name than what they went for.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Here's the Infinity Gauntlet as a distraction;

 

[Moppeh]

I dunno. The villains in The Dark Knight Trilogy were pretty different from their comic book selves, were people mad over that?

The changes Nolan and co. made to them really worked well and made a lot of sense in a gritty and grounded universe.

We will still have to see what the end product is, but I don't see why you need to make some bad ass super-villain a computer programmer when one of your heroes is a rock guy. They are taking a grounded approach to a group of characters that don't translate into that style as well Batman and his villains. And personally, I think making Doom some anti-social, internet guy is a way bigger leap than the Batman stuff.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I guess I don't see a problem with this if it's a modern re-imagining. Is it really so bad?

When they shit on one of, if not the greatest, comic book villains ever in the two previous movies, then to just shit on him more as they drown him in raw sewage? It is bad. Oh, so bad.

 

[freeofgreed]

I'm confident now that FOX is intentionally trying to run the FF franchise into the ground just to piss off Marvel. I mean that has gotta be it....right?

 

[DonasaurusRex]

I dunno. The villains in The Dark Knight Trilogy were pretty different from their comic book selves, were people mad over that?

.....uhhhh I think they were mostly missing any superhuman aspects but Bane was ultimately a version of bane minus the venom that made him superhuman, Raz didn't have the lazarus pits, and Joker..was pretty much the Joker i dunno any real difference worth mentioning there.

Banes venom was his pain meds and Raz was "immortal" through his techniques.

Bane wasn't a damn meth junkie and Raz a fucking new age cult leader

Change is fine...for the better.

 

[Ahasverus]

 

[Cardon]

Sounds good Toby, hope they are paying you well.

Pretty much this too. I like Toby as an actor, and it seems like he may be in "don't give a crap" mode given how he actually revealed something about this FF flick and no one else is saying a damn thing.
