Comments on: New Trailer for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer http://www.silverstatechronicles.com/wordpress/cinema/new-trailer-for-fantastic-four-rise-of-the-silver-surfer News & Opinion from Las Vegas, Nevada Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:49:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jaytee http://www.silverstatechronicles.com/wordpress/cinema/new-trailer-for-fantastic-four-rise-of-the-silver-surfer/comment-page-1#comment-100 jaytee Wed, 23 May 2007 09:08:00 +0000 http://silverstatechronicles.com/wordpress/?p=40#comment-100 You know, as the publicity mill for this movie gets up to speed, I'm troubled by the fact that the Surfer seems to be getting top billing, with the FF just sort of along for the ride. When your main characters, your stars, are relegated to co-star status after just one movie, that ain't a good sign, Brother. This is one of the richest groups of superheros in history. Pushing them to the background is unacceptable. (Well, maybe except for the miscast Jessica Alba. . . .) Marvel is botching one of its premiere franchises. It's a shame, and an insult!

And a blabbermouth Black Bolt - well, "That's Hollywood," as Tom Bosley would say! Yes, one thing the fans are demanding is a street tough talking Watcher!

But given that this is Hollywood, I fear for the worst: he'll probably be portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. And if the Inhumans ever do appear, Black Bolt will be able to speak!

I'll still hold out for a Super Skrull movie - maybe the first act is the invasion, and things escalate in the second act, and the Skrulls dispatch The Super Skrull to battle the FF in the thrilling climax! The FF is rich in history and there is no shortage of directions future films can take. The Inhumans is a natural, and very cinematic with Medusa, Gorgon, the mighty Lockjaw, and my favorite Black Bolt, as well as the rest. Nice way to ease into The Watcher, who I think is a neighbor of The Inhumans up on the moon! One thing that impressed me about the FF2 trailer is that it looked fun - an element scarce in many modern era comics! I'm actually looking forward to FF2 more than SM3! You’re right, jaytee.

I don't know why they have to go stick that power swapping stuff in, though. It's not like they need any subplot to make this storyline fly! And goodness knows, just because Hollywood used an idea once doesn't mean we can't see it again. I really like the idea of a Super Skrull movie, though I suspect the Inhumans are just around the corner. Well, sounds fair enough.
