Yes they do. It's quite frankly annoying I feel. Such smugness in those "trailer reviews"

OK without starting something can I just ask why Johnny Storm has been changed to a black dude? Johnny and Sue are brother and sister originally so what's happened to that?

You see I don't get this, why do it? why change the race of Johnny Storm and mess up the character backgrounds like that. Is this just to be politically correct because that's all I can think of. It is literately a completely pointless alteration for no reason.

I'm sure Sue will say something like "my parents fostered him since I was 12, he was like one of our own," type of thing. Unless they don't make them brother and sister.

Yeah one of them must be adopted I guess...but why??!! what is the point of that alteration?? utterly needless, just leave them as they were.

I wonder if there would've been more or less outrage if they had made them both black? Have Sue and Reed be the first interracial superhero couple. Would've made a bit more sense anyway.

JJLong · 01-28-2015, 02:59 AM

I believe Sue is adopted in this version.

Jessica Alba is Latina.

You hit it right on the head; they're just pandering to a demographic, for fear of getting sued. Its the same reason Marvel introduced a female Thor, and turned Sam Wilson into Captain America for the books.

I would've preferred that, because at least the family dynamic would've been kept. The interracial thing was already done in the first film from 2005, because Alicia Masters was white in the books.

I understand them needing to make the films appealing to all in the modern era (mainly for $$$ of course). But it annoys me when they do this because (some) of these characters have a history or legacy which you shouldn't just play with. Especially when it actually upsets the original plot somewhat for no real reason.

Yep, I'm with ya on that one. I did a whole video on this subject, about six months ago; not sure if I posted it in this thread though.

What I'd like to know is how Fox's deal for X-Men and/or Fantastic Four differ from Sony's deal for Spider-Man... if they differ at all.

I wonder this because we know in both cases they have to make a movie with those respective properties at least once every so many years to keep the rights. But is it the same amount of time for both studios... or were the deals written differently? It seemed like Sony was in a big hurry to reboot Spider-Man to get another film out there to keep the rights, and the first Amazing Spider-Man movie came out in 2012, 5 years after the release of Spider-Man 3 in 2007.

But the previous Fantastic Four movie also came out in 2007, so by the time this reboot comes out, it will be 8 years since. I would have thought the rights would have reverted back in that amount of time.

Not to mention Ms Marvel, FFS. They probably wanted to lighten up the Ms Marvel character, so she wasn't as dark, as her new religious affiliation is a peace loving one. No, not Bhuddist. The other one that people defend as being peaceful.

Trailer wasn't bad to be honest. I was expecting a crapfest, and came out feeling somewhat intrigued to watch it in the summer. Fox wins.

more like Michael was chosen because he's really good friends with Trank...and Trank found a way to shoehorn him into the picture.
