re: Fantastic Four - Michael Chabon's Script

quote:

See, and I think FF will always be a Silver Age comic (if not THE Silver age comic). That is its golden age and by far its best run. Since Kirby left, FF's sales have been in decline and it has never been one of Marvel's powerhouse titles (though it holds a special place due to its history).

But I think in an era in which every comic book, and its adaptation, is in a race to see how dark and moody it can be, it is worth holding up FF as the Light. The fact we instinctively see that as a negative is a bit of a shame.

FF IS silly. That's why its so great.

I wouldn't be against this take of FF, but I don't think the modern MCU is dark and moody. It's maybe the one external MCU property, out of X-Men, Spider-Man, FF, that would be natural fit to slide in here.

Chabon's script sounds like it isolates them to the their own world. I'm not sure if that would work well or not. Maybe so, he's talented enough to pull it off.
