Silver Surfer...Is this announcement a belated April fools joke?20638
 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| While we don't know the plot line yet, IF there is no Norrin Rad as Silver Surfer, I am, well, beyond words that I can place in this forum, other than to say that's some male bovine excrement. Really hoping that they forgot or will announce in the coming weeks that someone like Alan Ritchson or Dwayne Johnson IS cast as Silver Surfer and that Shalla Bal Surfer is the antagonist.

| No joke and simultaneously not surprising and extremely disappointing. | ||

| I'm sure someone associated with this film has said something along the lines of, "This film isn't made for the [average, traditional, long-time, or other adjective] Super Hero fan." Fine. With a little luck, the crowd they're pandering to may watch it a few hundred times each so they make a profit. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| They already have a female Silver Surfer type... Frankie Raye a.k.a. Nova. They should do a movie about her and leave the other well enough alone. Meh, whatever. Let them keep chunning out this schlock until they go broke. It's not like I watch any of this stuff any way. To quote South Park, "Put a chick in it and make her gay." |

| Silver Surfer is my all time favorite character for the last 40+ years. How am I feeling right now? Even if we're missing something and all has yet to be revealed, you have to admire Marvels impeccable marketing and timing. "Hmmm... let's piss everyone off first and then make good". Idiots I've come to despise the word "swap" in the last 3 months with all it's definitions |

| I could be totally wrong, but this movie clearly seems to be set in a different time and likely different part of the multiverse. No one knows how Marvel is going to intergrate the FF into the current timeline and universe. Maybe they're saving Norrin Radd for the 616 universe along with a different version of Galactus. Or maybe Marvel is just looking to piss off its fan base. That's happened before too. I'll be curious to see if they can actually make a good FF movie. |

Personally I like that Disney is going to get rid of account sharing in Canada..this means I can cancel my account...only been carrying it to share with my niece mostly...could pick it up for 1 or 2 months a year to binge the 1 or 2 shows I actually like (Shogun is pretty good!!) |

| With a multiverse of branched timelines they can do anything, tell a story from the perspective of any of them, and "logically" get away with it. I'm a huge Silver Surfer fan, but I accepted a black Nick Fury whose origin wasn't anchored in World War Two. If they tell a good story well, then I won't care if Shalla Bal ends up as Herald of Galactus. I can imagine a few timelines where that might "logically" happen in a way that doesn't demean or diminish Norrin Radd. We'll see, but like @power_struggle55 I'm willing to give it a chance. |

| @Scifinator I was at the post office last year and there was an Hispanic lady at the counter asking why her mail wasn't being delivered. It started off slow and calm, then it went over the edge and I heard a lot of Spanish expletive's... Then I heard her say "elSTUPIDO" lol.... That's this movie casting a woman as the SURFER!!!! elSTUPIDO!!!!!! |

| don't forget they made an very old Asian man (ancient one) into a middle ages white woman and no one had a problem. I for one don't care for changes like this if it works out in the end. they decided to make silver surfer's wife become Galactus' herold...something different. one thing I can see is her being a love interest for Johnny. as he did a thing for Norma Rae (Nova) so maybe combining the two |

| Shouldn't it be expected at this point to swap out everything? Call it what you will but it is going to keep happening. Comic book fans and readers are small potatoes in the grand scheme of these films and shows (the grand scheme is to make money). While I don't believe the work will resonate with me, I do believe it is done for the purpose of appealing to the general masses who are going to plunk down money to watch whatever the Mouse puts to screen (big or small). I chose a while back not to indulge in most of the post-Endgame MCU fare as it was becoming stale and directionless to me. Everything felt the same with some nuggets of worthwhile stuff in it. As the TV stuff goes, I loved the first few episodes of WandaVision, thought Loki was interesting, and She-Hulk had its moments. As for the films, most looked like I wouldn't want to see them. It also takes a lot of effort to keep up with all the happenings since most stuff ties to some bigger picture. I have my comics and other media that can be faithful if I don't want to see the new, adapted stuff. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley Yep. Pretty much accurate. And the thing I keep asking myself is Why? The natural (and almost always) impulsive response is some blend of woke or this or that to sit with the current times. But is that really the reason - just to piss a bunch of folks off as well? I will see the movie, but I really just don't get doing it when you could stay true and actually not piss anyone off. It just befuddles me each and every time. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Studley_Dudley Guess what, they are not making money! After Endgame pretty much everything that Disney has put out has lost money (except GOTG 3 which broke even).It's all coming down too DEI and the fact that the company hires bad writers and directors who fit the DEI mold. |
