So you think the smartest man on earth only cares about looks?
There were two parts to my statement. That woman is not hot enough for the King of Atlantis to risk pissing off Reed Richards. Wars aren't started over mediocre-looking women.

Disney finally gets its hands on the best Marvel properties, and they totally fumble the ball.
Fumbling the ball implies well-meaning ineptitude. This is intentional spitefulness.

True enough. It's pretty telling that this broke right after the proxy vote.

Sure, but she's not Sue Storm level attractive. Again, this wouldn't be a problem for me but this Silver Surfer casting makes things like this less forgiveable.

We now accept mediocraty and make excuses for it.

To me, that makes it an even worse concept.
If they are hellbent on a female herald, the original story only needs some minor adjustments...
If they are going with the team already being established at the beginning of the movie, start it off with Johnny introducing Frankie Rae to the team as his girlfriend. They've heard so much about her, she gushes a little over them, mentioning how she thinks what they do is so incredible and how she wishes she had some sort of powers to help save people, blah, blah blah.
Surfer appears in NYC, declares he is the herald of Galactus and Galactus will come to feed on the energies of the planet, big fight against Surfer at the Baxter Building. Surfer has knocked Ben across the river, the rest of the team are knocked out. Surfer decides to finish the job starting with Johnny, Frankie intervenes, gives impassioned plea (plea reminds him of his love for Shalla Bal and why he became the Surfer in the first place). Surfer leaves to "think things out".
Not long after, Galactus appears. FF hurls everything they can at Galactus, he pretty much ignores them. Reed estimates how much time they have before Galactus completes the machine he needs to help him more efficiently harvest Earth's energies. Surfer appears, regrets the monster he's become, etc. Says he cannot attack Galactus but tells Reed about the Ultimate Nullifier, teleports the team to the worldship.
They fight some bots (to keep the action going), obtain the nullifier. Johnny fires off a signal, Norrin teleports them back. Reed confronts Galactus with the Ultimate Nullifier, Galactus backs down but only if Reed gives back the nullifier. Reed does and Galactus destroys it. He will leave but as punishment for his betrayal he will take Norrin's powers back.
Says the Earth is safe... for now, but without his herald to find new worlds for him, he will be forced to return to Earth some day.
Enter: Frankie Rae. She volunteers to be his new herald in order to protect Johnny and the Earth, just as Norrin did for Shalla-Bal and Zenn-La. Galactus agrees, she becomes Nova.
-Fini.
It's easy to play up to the history of all the characters. They literally have stories ready, or can easily twist things around like this to make it all make sense and still tell a well thought out story and STILL get the "representation" that they want.
But they specifically don't want that. They specifically want the Silver Surfer to be known as a woman. They specifically want Hawkeye to be known as a woman. They specifically want Iron Man to be known as a woman.
Even if Kate Bishop is a great character, actually, how they operate and replace all of this - just reeks of shortcuts to representation. Just pure DEI in action with no respect for the past.

They're placing the ball on the tee for James Gunn and WB Discovery to knock it out of the park with their DC projects. Time will tell if they capitalize on the opportunity.

Yes, that vote tells you everything you need to know, as if we didnt know already.
Disney hates their own fanbase. Especially the white males who grew up with Marvel and Star Wars and kept those franchises goign during the lean years.
I agree Iger, Kennedy, and company are just doing this crap to piss us off. They no longer care about money. Agenda is all that matters.
What is shocking is that the Disney investors agree with them. They are willing to lose stock value as long the DEI bullshite keeps going.
I predict Disney will be bought by Apple or Amazon soon, once the stock gets low enough.

I agree. I think Apple buys them within the next 5 years.

I think the vote was awful for Disney. 30% voted for Peltz. That is a VERY high number. It's not like he has to stop trying now, and he only needs 51% to win.

The idiot internet deciding Vanessa Kirby isn't hot is one of the most hilariously idiotic things I learned today. Good job, guys.

The pics I've seen aren't bad. She's not that special though.
I'm sure they'll make her look like a hot lesbian though

This one actually isn't that bad as a concept, since she is the lover of Norrin Radd, the original Surfer. In the comics, he becomes the Surfer to save her.
In the movies, it’s mysognistic for a male to save a female. Haven’t you paid attention to Snow White? Thor? Marvels? TLJ?

Agree to disagree. I find her mediocre to the point of definitely being no Sue Storm.
