Re: Fantastic Four Movie!
see the funny thing is, now granted I'm not a true comics reader, but I'd at least been moderately interested going by the trailers so far, I didn't at all have this completely fatalistic view from minute one that it was going to suck out loud (even though I've still never seen all of "Chronicle", its first 20 minutes or so did very little to impress me). But the way Fox has been treating this thing over the last week or so, makes ZERO sense to me. You're only hurting yourselves that much more by having NOBODY AT ALL get to see it til like the day before early release. In today's world, you know that only works to create majorly negative buzz around the thing, when people have nothing but their already worried preconceptions to go on. I'm surprised they didn't at least try to let it have a decent sized opening weekend, even if it gets hammered after that. I honestly thought it still might be alright even after looking at that 4 minute trailer from today, even if that did show a bit too much.
but even if this thing bombs to the point where Marvel does gain back control, I gotta think it wouldn't be until the middle of Phase 4 at the VERY least where we'd potentially see the Fantastic Four integrated into the MCU.
