This could probably use a title change. I assumed this was yet another James Cameron Avatar sequel.

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps
Duke Togo replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I stopped watching Marvel productions after BP2 (not because of that movie; I was just burned out), but from everything I had seen before that, this is the most "comic book" movie they've made. You would not confuse this for even mildly-serious science fiction. If I had one real criticism of the movie, it would be it did not lean into the aesthetic and vibe hard enough. It goes half way to that earlier-era, Donner Superman earnestness and innocence, when I feel it should have gone full-out.- 133 replies

Marvel Studios Fantastic Four: First Steps

Fantastic Four is better than Superman. I'd say significantly. Straightforward story, not overstuffed with plot or characters, and you don't need to know anything going in.- 133 replies

I think it's pretty clear from that poster that they're not going for a serious tone with Supergirl.

This trailer lowered my interest in the film.

The Pitt and Andor were the best two drama series this past year, but it's likely neither will win. As I've been saying for years, these award shows are meaningless. You can't even use award shows as a way to discover things you might not have seen but should. You look at how many noms White Lotus season 3 got, and it's not good. Someone might see that and go, ya know, maybe I should check it out. No.

Ok, but it has precedence. Gunn didn't come up with it on his own. So, people who are flipping tables over this and walking out of theaters because of it need to check their lore.

I don't understand why people are saying this. The only thing the nations in conflict have in common with them is that one is well-armed and the other isn't. Nothing else about that storyline is even remotely similar.

Saw it this afternoon. It was fine. Second half was better than the first half. Kinda goofy in that James Gunn sorta way. Definitely better than that dark and gritty nonsense Zack Snyder did. Not as good as the original Superman movie.

Yeah, this looks to be a proper adaptation of the book and not a remake of the Schwarzenegger movie.
