I like the Ultimate FF as a comic. But I want to see the original done right first in the movies. That means using mature adults for at least Reed and Ben. Not under-30 kids.

The Colour barrier
Joseph Phillip Illidge looks at fan reaction in the wake of Fox's new "Fantastic Four" cast being revealed, and explains both the studio's goals and why fans have reacted so strongly to a black actor playing a white comic book character.
Originally posted by KazenjiThe article talks a bit about The Ultimate comics. Thing is Marvel had a chance to make any character in the UMU any race but they mostly stayed with white. They could have done this without much worry also because if fans didn't like the UMU they still had the 616. But like I said they didn't do it. Why do it now? Because it controversial. I don't think Johnny's color should have changed. I know people will disagree with me but I just simply don't like the changing of the race of a character.
The Colour barrier
Anyways I also have to dispute the "ownership" of the characters comments in the article. Yes Marvel owns the characters and they CAN do anything they want but only to an extent. In a way the consumer does in fact own the rights to the product because if you do something that pi$$es them off enough you stop getting their money. Once the money stops rolling in you either change things to what the fans want or you lose your company that simple. So they can have the "creative rights" but that doesn't mean that the consumer can't dictate what can and can't be done.
