This seems to be what studios do when they screw up, just reboot the franchise which is a pretty cowardly thing to do

But the previous movies sucked and they didn't do Dr. Doom justice.

It's an MCU joint so probably.

So what it will be handled by Kevin and in the MCU. And knowing how bad the previous iterations are they are going to tighten up and make this the bomb. Bring on Galactus, The Silver Surfer and Namor. Most anticipated.

Will this one finally be good?

Though quite prolific your posts do leave something to be desired. So I am not sure if this iteration will be "Good".

Oh you mean the FF!

Well this isn't a reboot as Disney and Marvel has yet to do a Live Action version. I have total confidence in their ability to bring the FF to the big screen.

Their biggest hurdle is that Marvel's First Family basically created the popularity of Marvel print. The FF introduced so many of the best villains, character depth, cross-over villains, cross-over hero moments and that wont be there for them.

The FF were scientists, adventurers, a family and the real "Heart" of Marvel. I have faith in Feige but may have just talked myself out of this being a slam-dunk.

RedLetterMedia seemed to like the Roger Corman film given the minuscule budget.

Third time's the charm, although it would be third time lucky if they could get two sequels out of it.

Third attempt but 2nd reboot? Assuming I've not missed an iteration.

There was an early 90's live action version.

Was that the cheap and quicky version made to hold on to the film rights which was never released? If yes, are we counting that?

reply

[–] Lord Rake (4536) 4 years ago

Honestly I would watch that one way before I'd check out the one they just released. I think that must be the one they are counting unless he considers the sequel a remake of the one before it.

Same thing.

Frankly they should do Doom as a background villain and have him be like the comics. The first main villain should be someone that has not been adapted. Like Molecule Man or Mole Man.
