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.

I suppose it's only a role in Fantastic Four....which I probably won't watch...just like I didn't read the comic..for the most part.
Who wants to read a comic with family bickering...wad living it as a kid!!!

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.


It would have been nice if they got the cinematic Surfer right before "improving" upon it.

I'm pretty sure many rolled their eyes at it.

Make the Surfer a woman AND a two-timer??
Well, I guess if the film emasculates a male, then it'll be "empowering."

Yep. Male becomes female, Caucasian becomes, for the love of God anything else, entertaining becomes crappy, and blockbuster becomes flop.

I guess smart became stupid.

Marvel and Disney can certainly pander to this particular crowd if they wish, and I'll never say they can't, but what makes me laugh is when they, the millionaire movie stars, the critics, and the mainstream media start demanding that we like it, accept it, and pay for it.

The MCU already covered most of my childhood favorites with phases 1-3, and did a fine job with most of it (except for Iron Man 3), so I can just pop in one of those dvd's.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
It would be funny to hear Shalla Bal referring to Galactus as Fu** Nutt.
