Fantastic Four Reboot's Doctor Doom Is a Russian Blogger?

[Shiftygiant]

Now I am curious how they explain black Johnny Storm.

The Storm family are black, Sue is adopted.

to the OP: EUGH

He's not Russian, he's fucking Latvarian and ethnically Romani. He isn't a hacker, he's a brilliant Scientist who is brought down by his narcissism and megalomania. The man wears a cape! The first F4 movie at least got some aspects right, and made him fun by making him hammy to hell. This is just.... eugh.

 

[Ferisar]

So... how will he get super powers?

Will he become the Freakazoid?

That would certainly make me want to watch this movie, hahah.

OT:
Yeah, OK. That sounds completely fine and no one would ever care. >_>

 

[seditary]

So does Reed Richards file a false DMCA claim against Doom's critique of his work sending him into full on supervillain?

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Are they... deliberately trying to piss off fans?

I mean, I'm no Fantastic Four fan (or comic book fan for that matter), but every news I hear about this movie sounds like a slap in the face. I mean, this is sounding more and more like a fan parody for adaptations that take too much liberties with it's source material.

 

[SocialistSaxon]

Just, just no. If this is a sign of things to come then i'll probably just watch the last fantastic four instead. Think about that.

 

[marscentral]

You have to wonder at the mind of someone who looks at how successful Marvel's films have been by drawing heavily from the source material and then says "let's do the opposite of that." The last two films took liberties, this one seems barely recognisable.

as if Hoboom (hobo Doom) wasn't enough of an insult to the awesomeness that is Victor Von Doom, seriously he was the only reason I actually wanted the Fantastic Four to be a good movie and he's the only reason I've read any Fantastic Four books, the team themselves are just not interesting enough outside of Ben Grimm.

they've stripped out so much of the fantastic in the name of making a grounded "grounded realistic" movie at this point that this movie can hardly be called "Fantastic Four" something like the "Average Four" is more appropriate, I mean what's the point of making a Fantastic four movie if your only going to use character names and nothing else?

 

[Tumedus]

For a movie that is trying to keep everything under wraps, it seems every bit of info that does get disseminated is just terrible.

I want to believe this is the most elaborate prank ever. I mean, the odds of getting every single thing wrong is just so remote. You almost have to know what is right and actively avoid it to not do something good by pure accident.

 

[Hyperstorm]

Maybe their master plan is to make the Roger Corman version look better.

 

[PunkRex]

It's like hearing about a horrible train wreck on the news and they go on to say 'we'll have more in just a little bit', you sit there thinking 'noooooo, I don't wanna' but images flash across the screen and you can't look away.

I thank you, webkilla. I thank you with all of my heart.

 

[EssThree]

Programmer/blogger cause gotta seem modern for the kids!

Russian cause gotta spread paranoia/fear about the Russians like it's the 80s all over again *eyeroll*

 

[Sherokain]

From what I've seen of the costume that looks caked in mud and swamp stuff and the evil blogger angle I have very low hopes for this.

 

[Nick Martin]

Are they kidding with this FF movie?! They are forcing on us "The Hipster Four". I?m not digging this grounded approach.

 

[tmande2nd]

Wow, this actually made me less interested.
I did not think i could get more meh about the movie.

Ah well.

 

[Irregular Dice]

Every time new info pops out about this movie I get sadder and this is no exception.
Really!? Doom as a anti-social programmer and blogger? What's next, Moleman is actually the admin for the "hollow earth" forum and Moleman is just his username?

 

[Hazy992]

Oh god, it's like Fox are trying to make this movie suck as much as possible. No wonder Marvel don't want to promote it! XD

Godspeed you magnificent bastards!

 

[hermes]

Wow ! When I thought I couldn't consider this movie low enough, they do this?

Seriously FOX, I know you have no interest in this other than try to hold to the property for the prospect of making money... but if you are going to give so little of a damn of your movies, you will end up loosing money, no matter how cheap it was to make.

At this point, I think Marvel/Disney could go to the WGA to fight for the IP on the grounds of deviation and damage of their property. They may even have a case...

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Wow it's like they're weren't content with a downward spiral and decided for a full blown nose dive. I find it funny that they have a sequel announced.
