They already casted Reed Richards in the Doctor Strange movie. Even had an actor so popular it basically was half the movie's marketing for them.
They treated him so shitty (so they could prop up the the genderbent Captain America and the raceswapped Captain Marvel as the only ones who could fight back against Scarlet Witch) that it was basically the only thing people talked about from the movie. He acts like an actual retard, using only a slow and obvious forward hand stretch to attack a reality warper, after explaining his strongest teammates weakness and then dies a horrifically painful death.
Why would anyone, actor or moviegoer, want to be part of that role? Especially as the Fantastic 4 is probably the most boring, unwanted cast of characters possible from comic books. If not for Doctor Doom they would have been banished to obscurity and anyone clamoring for them is just hoping for more of him.
Thanos at least had the reasoning of trying to be impartial. As in, he could recognize that the moment he did anything beyond 50/50 he was playing favorites one way or another and that's where it ceases to be logic and becomes "evil."
It makes sense, even if you disagree with him its a consistent principle that he tried to hold (until he didn't with Endgame).
And I can understand Scarlet Witch's motivation, it has some seedling of a point. The problem is treating her as if she is justified in any way. Like, she fell in love with a lie and now she is using her cataclysmic powers to make everyone else suffer for it. That means she can never be trusted again and need to be put down for reality itself's safety.
Yes, Thanos is consistent and if you suspend your disbelief and take his basic plan as logical, everything that follows makes sense. Consistently stupid, but that was the fig leaf that made Infinity War 2 billion dollars or whatever.
I could see there is some kind of pathway where A (muh kids) might lead to B (whatever happened there) for Scarlet Witch, but in addition to the weird idea that she might be sort of justified, the escalation was way too fast. This is a character that ostensibly had a sound mind as of Endgame. What MCU writers think of as a "motivation" is actually an excuse to smash action figures together.
Well that's likely because all their shows with the replacement heroes starting bombing left and right, so they needed to start putting their not-dead and still liked characters in quickly and fast.
Her descent could have worked, heck it could have worked that fast even after Infinity War. But Endgame is in the middle there messing up the timeline of "grief."
Nobody alleged Thanos was inconsistent lol. He thinks he has the solution, but why? Has he considered and rejected more reasonable options? No, because there are just flat out better options and that would make the movie look bad.
What the Salari did to the Krogan in Mass Effect makes sense. You have a race of warrior frogs running out of control across the galaxy because they hatch hundreds of eggs to a clutch, so you infect them with a virus that makes 999/1000 eggs nonviable. It's a dire measure but it actually stops the exponential curve that causes overpopulation.
Thanos concerned about overpopulation? Don't alter birth rates, just kill a bunch of people randomly
Could also increase resources to make "overpopulation" a non-issue. That's part of the problem with giving a character the ability rewrite reality. You have to write them as being a dumbshit to get around them being able to do literally anything they want.
Technically it solves the problem (at the risk of destroying civilization), but you would need to prune the population every so often for that to be a real solution.
It’s a comic about a family of superheroes that genuinely care about each other and the father isn’t a bumbling idiot. Of course, Hollywood can’t get it right.
And the fact they are eating their time on female characters from their awful marvel now run whose comics were cancelled due to low sales instead of an awesome Dr Doom/F4 movie is really telling
Lol. You honestly sound like a current day marvel employee reciting the latest download. Honestly though I always enjoyed reading Wonder Woman, Black Cat when she worked with Spidey, Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, Silver Sable, Dakota North, etc. Turns out marvel making insufferable female characters who are nothing more than avatars for their feminist creators who are clueless about comics doesn’t appeal to me
Yup. To this day I’m still not understanding how this “we need girls in comics” started. Nerdrotic mentioned how when he still owned his shop he would go to the conferences and the people on top were saying there was a wave of female customer coming and he was thinking do these heads of the business ever go to an actual comic book shop. Eric July has said that modern comics are written for 14 year old girls on tumbler who don’t read comics
I hate this shit. Just do a Sue Storm solo movie if you want to do Sue Storm...but no, that's not what it's about. They want to shit on established franchises like Fantastic Four.
See to me the obvious move would be to skip the 4 and make a Doctor Doom movie instead but when we are talking about leftist media corps missing the obvious is part of the gig
LOL @ the fags here discussing marvel movies like they were serious shit. Thanos' motivation is to put teenage (and Chinese) asses on theater seats. That's it.

There are so many things wrong with that movie. The Illuminati acting like smug retards for no reason is just one.
I am constantly amused by the MCU's inability to give their villains a motivation that an adult would understand.

Scarlet Witch wants kids? Mind rapes an entire town

They literally can't make a good movie out of that tripe. And they've been trying since the 90s. At this point it's just a toxic IP.
As a life long comic book reader I was excited for Rise of the Silver Surfer and thought we would get Galactus. Wow was I wrong.
It’s a comic about a family of superheroes that genuinely care about each other and the father isn’t a bumbling idiot. Of course, Hollywood can’t get it right.
I'm going to engage in some comic slander. A silver guy on a surfboard is not a character anyone is going to pay to see.
Is sue storm gonna be a non white fish eyed woman? Because that’s definitely what people have been clamoring for.
Hello, my name is Susan, and I'm taking over the Fantastic Four because Reed is a manbaby who likes dick now.
Rebeca Watson vibes. ( "elevator gate" Atheism+ debacle )
Somehow we're just culturally not capable of making a good movie with Doctor Doom in it and never will be.
And the fact they are eating their time on female characters from their awful marvel now run whose comics were cancelled due to low sales instead of an awesome Dr Doom/F4 movie is really telling

That's because they are. :')
Great edit
Did anyone expect them to do a faithful adaptation of Kirby’s Fantastic Four?
Champing.
I hate this shit. Just do a Sue Storm solo movie if you want to do Sue Storm...but no, that's not what it's about. They want to shit on established franchises like Fantastic Four.
Don't watch capeshit and you'll be better off. They've killed the genre. It's best avoided now.
See to me the obvious move would be to skip the 4 and make a Doctor Doom movie instead but when we are talking about leftist media corps missing the obvious is part of the gig
I think the only Marvel/DC media I still like is the animated media, that was the last time I enjoyed the Fantastic Four too.
I'm really looking forward to not watching this.
That explains all the casting rumors for Reed Richards
