Fantastic Four Trailer

[Zontar]

How is showing the diversity of different family types not believing in diversity? A sibling doesn't have to come from the same parent for them to be a sibling. There are blended families and sometimes kids get adopted. Its really not that big of a deal.

And seeing how the Fantastic four is supposed to sorta be the first family of the marvel universe, showcasing different family dynamics is pretty fitting.

I can see where you are coming from and I agree that there is not enough diversity in family types. However, the Invisible Woman has never been adopted in the past (or at least to my knowledge and about 5 minutes on google to check), so it feels like an unnecessary addition to her character just so that she can stay white. However I will admit that I could be looking too deep into this, so unless anyone else shares the same feelings, I'll hold off on commenting about race until after the movie comes out.

To be honest, there's only two ways for it to make sense: either one (likely Johnny since we saw their father in the trailer) is adopted, or they're biracial and a rare case of biracial siblings looking distinctly of difference races. Now that does happen, but it's usually not the case as biracial siblings tend to either lean towards one race in appearance, or seem to be somewhere in the middle (there's a reason South Africa has "Coloured" as the demographic of the heavily mixed).

Really I think they should have either gone all the way, or made Reed black instead if they only wanted one of the three human mains black.

Wow... That trailer actually made me chuckle along with it instead of at it... I like that...

Other than that, just like the first two FF movies, it seems Johnny would still be my favorite in general...

So much will be changed in this movie that making one of the Storm kids adopted is a drop in the bucket, especially since so long as they are shown caring for each other the close sibling relationship will remain. For instance, Dr. Doom is getting a major reinvention. He is no longer actually Dr. Doom, his last name is Domashev. He's not royalty, hes just a programer and Doom is a username that he uses on blogs. http://collider.com/doctor-doom-new-origin-fantastic-four-movie/

Do we even know what the casting call for Sue was like? Unless the casting call specifically called for a white actress this may have just been a case of casting an actress that had good chemistry with the rest of the cast. Besides, technically Sue was a Latina with a glaring dye job in the 2005 movie, and they never even gave a narrative explanation for it.

I was positively surprised about this trailer to be honest. Not sure why, but it just seemed like a new twitch for the F4 from my part and I've always enjoyed the team. This one might actually be decent, which is enough for me when it comes to movies. And I still don't have enough fanboyism about them that small things can ruin a movie, like Amazing Spiderman, which I otherwise liked, but the Parker of Garfield, and I LOATHED the way they made Lizard.
