"Hey, we're attracting the fans of the original movie while trying to appeal to modern audience!"
Uuuuugggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!

Sometimes this method works, but most of the time, it doesn't. At that point just make a new movie. That has nothing to do with the franchise and start a new IP.

Wow, Thing looks really, really Thing. I was curious how they were going to do Thing in this new live-action version - it is hard to do a rock guy (in live-action) and not have him look like a generic realistc rock guy. But it looks like they just made him look like a guy in a Thing suit, which for a CG character is actually kinda refreshing.

I've seen some criticisms that he just has a human voice, but I have no idea if that's comic accurate or what. I can't remember if Chiklis put on a voice or if that was just his actual voice.

Also love how they gave the thing some sense of humor. Normally whenever there is a "rock" guy, they usually make him this stoic, quiet, brooding, tough af tank. And while the original movies from 2000s had the thing w/ humor, I remember being more of slapsticks + johnny messing with him.

This time, they are givng him a geniune character who can be funny.

I also love the very sliver age theme I am getting. I mean their origin story is exactly the one from Silver Age; a space mission that gives them power. I want to see more of Mr. Fantastic's powers!

We're also getting actual Galatcus, not the purple cloud of dark energy. Awesome!

Ben Grimm is a character from which much pathos can be mined since his situation is tragic. He’s also the guy who says “It’s clobberin’ time!” before kicking ass. A sense of humour is a must.

You could argue that it's a little weird that his entire body changed but that his vocal cords remained untouched, but then Sue shouldn't technically be able to see either when she turns invisible.

I don't know much about The Fantastic Four though.

Not sure what type of animation this is, but it at least it's not 100% live-action CGI fest.

We're really gonna have influencer smurf now. Good lord.

SMURFS features an all-star voice cast including Rihanna, James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña with Kurt Russell and John Goodman.
Honestly, not a bad line-up, although i don't think some of them has ever done a voice acting. Not sure why anyone would ever work with James Corden, but I hope the rest of the crew can make me forget about his involvement
