I’m sorry but it looks terrible…

Silver Surfer has titties.... ?

I want this to be good, but man, I'm not having great feelings about this, and Shalla-Bal as the Surfer is one of the reasons. Just, why? Norrin Radd as the Silver Surfer is and has been one of the most popular characters Marvel has to offer, not his girlfriend from his home planet. With all the multiverse and variant stuff they've introduced, there's no telling where they'll take the story or who they'll bring in or where this is going to go (especially if they're laying groundwork for Secret Wars), but this just feels like a big tactical error by Fiege right now.

If you know the YouTube channel Nerdrotic, you know he has a very specific slant to his takes and on Hollywood in general. He has said that he's hearing this movie is going to be a heavy Susan Richards story, and that early reviews are coming back saying it's very hamfisted. The actors do well with their parts, and the casting has graded out well (even if I feel Pedro Pascal was a miss), but the story just isn't great. I trust him on his movie takes, generally, but I hope he's off on this one.

I've loved FF since I was a kid. This doesn't look great so far, and I'm not a fan of Pedro as Reed. Hoping for the best, but prepared to never actually see this movie if the reviews aren't good.

Is that the DEI silver surfer??

Interesting. I never gave two shits about Fantastic Four but I’m optimistic about this one. Silver Surfer isn’t generally a character who’s full of personality so I’m OK with a genderbent version.

I’m assuming they won’t be able to beat Galactus in their universe so they’ll flee to ours to join the rest of the MCU..?

This turd will tank, bet on it

Wake me up when the new Batman hits theaters, otherwise :ZZZ:

I heard Anya Taylor Joy was their original choice for Silver Surfer, and I wonder if the idea of doing a female Silver Surfer started with the idea of casting her specifically. Because she actually looks a lot like how Jack Kirby drew Silver Surfer, with the big wide-spaced eyes and prominent cheekbones.

This is what, the 4th or 5th FF film? The 2nd or 3rd reboot? Eventually they will get it right. Right???

It is curious how they just haven't been able to nail or make stick the FF yet considering how they've crushed other characters and storylines along the way. They're foundational characters of Marvel overall, but they just don't "get" them on the movie screen. Yet, anyway.

This looks like a giant piece of shit. Holy **** man.

Thing having a crystal clear voice is so off putting, and Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards?

Eddie Munson as Johnny Storm is meh at best, and if the stories about Sue Storm and gender identity are true then this thing is ****ed from the jump.

Hey.

She's the INVISIBLE WOMAN, not The invisible non binary dumbass.

I dunno, I didn’t think the trailer looked that bad. I’ll probably check it out.

Looks great, can't wait to see it. Silver Surfer's gender and name don't matter to me. I'm more skeptical about Johnny than I am anyone else, just doesn't come off as Human Torch to me, Chris Evans was so much more the part, still looking forward to it. The Thing looks legit, Sue Storm looks great, love the actress, and Pedro will just be Pedro, not sure I buy him as Reed but we'll see how they portray him.

Unless it's a nude Sydney Sweeney, I'm out... This looks like more of the same.

I think this looks good and I don't care for the fantastic four. I'm more excited about Thunderbolts though.
