Has anybody seen it? Why is it doing so badly?

They're a boring team, and they're at the sour spot between "solo protagonist" (Spider-Man, Captain Marvel) and "ensemble of supers" (X-Men, Avengers) that just keeps failing miserably but they keep trying to make them. Suicide Squad managed to be an ensemble, but they killed enough off for cheap heat/did not characterize enough of them that it ended up in the same segment as F4.

did not characterize enough of them

Excuse me?! What about the guy who can climb anything? Or Katana? I hear her sword can trap the souls of it's victims!

Mass audiences have never, ever cared about the Fantastic Four. Every attempt to make the Fantastic Four a thing in movies has flopped.

The only good thing about any Fantastic Four story is Dr. Doom and they just fucking refuse to put a good representation of that character into a Fantastic Four movie.

kinda sad how the best version of dr doom is from the unreleased movie from 1994

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

it's less sad when you consider that is also the best f4 movie

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

How do they usually fail at Doom?

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Its kinda brutal that the incredibles scratched that itch that producers of the f4 movies seem to try to get

This. As someone who grew up reading Marvel I always avoided the FF because they seemed cheesy. Movie adaptations just prove that they are a relic of the 60s

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 months ago

I think it was ok. The fans saw it, but the novelty of superhero movies has evaporated. And Superman was better.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I doubt anything is wrong with it. People don’t go to the theater anymore.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

While that may factor a bit here, Superman and jurassic world did have good box office success

It looking more that the MCU doesnt have the same pull as before

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

covid-cool

:::spoiler spoiler

obviously that's not the reason people don't go to the movies anymore, but I wish it was at least a factor

[–] whogivesashit@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

I was considering going because I really like the fantastic 4 and I haven't been to the movies in years, but I really just don't have the funds to do it

[–] MisanthropiCynic@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

I don’t go to the theater much anymore: I went to 3 movies last year I think. I fell for the hype this could be worthwhile but it wasn’t. It sucked as an MCU film and a movie in general. It feels like outdated 60s anachronistic schlock

[–] umb_official@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I thought F4 was really good and most the discourse I saw was positive. Honestly kinda surprised to hear this news.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

They're nobodies compared to Superman and Superman is all over the headlines right now
