Can't speak for the mainstream (who've probably been put off by Fox's efforts). But I've always enjoyed the FF.

It's for Marvel Studios to make the mainstream feel the same way.

^^^Like the X-Men franchise, I thought the FF movies were almost there.

Some good casting (Chiklis as Ben/Jones and Fishburne as Surfer), bad casting (Alba), failure to pull the trigger and just do it the way it is in the comics (non King of Latveria armored Doom/cloud Galactus).

I’m ready to be wowed by the MCU’s version of the FF, I’m just wary.

hoping pascal changes my mind as i feel he was miscast

^^^Oh I’m w. you.
Personally, I’d have had him as Diablo (if Antonio Banderas passed on the role).

Antonio Banderas 😂

^^^Yup. ✅

Reed was also good casting with Ioan Gruffudd

i felt the same for Sue Storm too, Just seemed like the people who were on those movies went for whoever was good looking

the "cloud Galactus" was suppose to be this thing [url]https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Gah_Lak_Tus_](Earth-1610)[/url

but even with that idea they failed at doing it

^^^I remember seeing him on a TV show he had in 2014 and thinking he looked a lot more Reed-ish w. a few more on him.

^^^You're right.
It was Wizard magazine level casting, like having Fabio as Thor.

Yeah that about sums it up.

Ralph Ineson is Galactus

He has a deep and resonating voice. Good casting.

I just wonder about actual onscreen appearance.

They get him to bulk up some, then do the same Thanos-ification they did for Josh Brolin and he should look great. He'll be mostly CGI but look like Ralph Ineson as a muscly Galactus.

We might end up with another M.O.D.O.K. ... 😂

Don't even joke like that. Thanos was mostly CGI and the only way forward is to copy that technique. Facemap Ralph and make a size-shifting Galactus.

Thanos was peak MCU.

Fantastic Four has always been lame, even outside of the movies. That's their whole thing, tbh.

This is not gonna end well and you know it 😂

MODOK was made to look retarded on purpose for comedic reasons, as Disney has all the money in the world for CGI and the rest of the film was visually impressive, really only thing it had going for it.

I've always liked them.

But you gotta admit they got dope villains.

The rogues gallery is definitely top notch.

John Malkovich is gonna be in FF.

Puppet Master?
