    Please don’t tell their origin story again. There have already been enough fantastic 4 flops.

    Jfc, they’re going to fuck this one up too.

    Not because of her, that’s fine. It’s that out of all the possibilities they have, they’re going with one of the two most obvious picks, and that’s a bad sign for them just letting the FF stand as the cultural entity that they are.

    A new movie with any version of Doom, or the surfer is going to be a flop because it has already been done. You can’t disconnect the previous movies, especially not by essentially just using an alt version of a character.

      Nope. Disney bought 21st Century Fox five years ago. This is an MCU movie.

    Julia Garner is a porcelain doll, enchanted by a witch or warlock, capable of autonomous movement and human behavior.

    This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact. And only I am capable of teaching her how to love.

    I’m just annoyed that they are wasting Julia Garner when she could be spending that time acting in a better movie.

    So there just sealing her and the surfer? Instead of him making the deal she does? Why?

      I really dislike the people who unironically scream “woke” at everything, but what exactly is the point of turning characters into women? You know they are not doing it to empower women, they do it to squeeze more money out of a franchise, you know to gater female silver surfer fans? But it doesn’t even seem to work. Why is no one turning female characters into males? Wouldn’t that be “woke” too? There will never be a male xena warrior prince, and as a dude… That’s fine. I watched xena as a kid and i never wished she was a guy so i can indentify with her.
