I had no problem defending the Human Torch casting as Jordan is a fantastic actor imo, but this just sounds awful by the minute.

How many superhero movies, outside of the origin story, actually use stories from the comics?


Let's go back about 20 years (in reverse order):

X-Men: Days of Future Past - damn close
Amazing Spider-Man 2 - death of Gwen Stacy
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Check
Thor: The Dark World - pretty close
The Dark Knight Rises - Knightfall
Iron Man 3 - nope
The Avengers - Loki was their first villain in the comics
The Dark Knight - took elements from The Killing Joke
Iron Man 2 - nope
Blade: Trinity - Nightstalkers
X2 - God loves, Man kills
Blade 2 - Reaper strain

The shitshow where Ryan Reynolds played Hannibal King, Dominic Purcell played Dracula, and Jessica Biel played Abigail Whistler.

This is what happens when you make studios shite out these movies or they lose the rights to the franchise.

This is gonna suck.

No.

Jon Hamm should've been cast as Jor-El over Russell Crowe in MoS.

Crowe is just not believable looking as Cavill's father.

I know multiple people personally who are working on this movie. The word is, pretty much everyone knows they are making this movie just to retain the rights and this movie is going to suck.

...coming from people ON THE SET.

Also, for the "human torch is black" freak out, Dr. Storm is also black. No idea about their mom or how Sue fits into this mix. What is happening with this thing?



interracial family >>> than adopted black brother which would inevitably turn into a shite arse love triangle and slap you in the face LOOK HES AN OUTSIDER melodrama

This does not bother me at all. If it is a good movie then it is a good movie. It not, then it's not. I don't need it to be something ripped from the comics for it to be a good entertaining movie.


if you are going to ignore the source material to the degree it seems they are doing you may as well create an original IP.

nothing worse than a studio taking an IP that they consider niche and changing to to the point that the original fanbase that made it valuable enough to turn into a movie will tune out.

Most excellent. I've been waiting for Tyler Perry's first step into the super hero market.

He may well be the greatest actor of our generation...but that doesn't excuse making his sister a Caucasian. Either they are both white or they are both black...they are siblings (not half, not step, not adopted) for Stan lee's sake! That alone was the biggest PC move I have seen out of holloweird in a long long time. Will enjoy watch this movie making zero money.

Are you the one who said this about Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? People on the set don't know shite. With that being said, this movie will suck.

Out as far as any FF or Marvel motivation. May see later at Redbox for $1. Or not.

Good call. There is no third Blade.

But if there was, does anyone else think the third one got hijacked by the actors, who filled it with stupid gay quips and other nonsense? I suspect that every time I see Parker Posey.
