Half in the Bag Episode 93: Fantastic Four

Mike and Jay attempt to see Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, but are unable to. Josh Trank himself buys Mike and Jay tickets to see Fantastic Four. They are the only people in the theater. Not just their theater, but every theater in the nation.

[@jef_3006]

In the comics, Dr. Doom is the beloved king of a small eastern European nation who is also a genius, wants to take over the world, and walks around in a metal suit unironically shouting "I AM DOOM!" Why the hell would you ever change anything about that character?

[@marshmallowok]

They already made a good Fantastic Four movie, they just called it The Incredibles instead.

[@deecool47]

***** Incredible isn't like FF at all really. The only comparison people can really make is the super powers, there's 4 of them and that both are family orientated. FF is all about men and a woman assuming the role of super powered beings and going public and becoming world famous super hero icons. The incredibles are about super heroes taking the roles of everyday people trying to fit in with society. Almost nothing about their relationship dynamic and background are at all the same. I will say Dash does share a little similarities to Johnny Storm, but nothing too noticeable Nothing about their stories/adventures, characters, character interaction, family dynamic, or live as a whole is similar to FF. As a matter of fact I challenge you to state ways they are similar besides what I pointed out. You can't slap the FF characters faces on the incredibles and say it's a perfect adaptation.

[@marshmallowok]

***** I was being facetious, mostly because I've seen so many people say The Incredibles is a ripoff.

[@deecool47]

***** "is still more faithful as an adaptation than the actual Fantastic Four films' The Incredibles are an original concept and like you said it borrowed from other great works of fiction. So it's not an adaption. It's easy to create completely new ideas, because fans won't whine about the source material. However these FF movies are god awful I think we all agree.

Remember that they also wanted to make a cinematic universe from the Fantastic Four and the X-Men before Disney bought them up. Which, honestly, Josh Trank's original script might have been more conducive to that kind of idea, but they fucked it all up. And then Disney sucked them up, so at least this property might be put to proper use now, unlike X-Men which will be so awkward no matter how they try and handle it.

[@DibbzTheLoner]

j Hughes The point isn't them being the same, silly sausage, the point is that The Incredibles is the closest thing there's ever been to a decent Fantastic Four movie. The Incredibles is only vaguely similar to the Fantastic Four, it's just that every Fantastic Four movie is so bad in comparison to The Incredibles that there's more similarity between The Incredibles and a hypothetical good Fantastic Four movie than there is between any existing Fantastic Four move and that hypothetical good one. I would have thought this was implicit.

[@geneparmesan8748]

Now that they mention this point about body horror, the Fantastic 4 COULD maybe work as a real, Cronenberg-esque body horror film: every character's power in this team has some physical element to it: three of them directly involve mutation or mutilation of the skin and bones. Contrast this against other Marvel superhero teams, where the powers are mostly mental (Iron Man's supersmarts, Professor X's mind reading), elemental (Magneto's metal control, Storm's..... storms) or magical (Thor's powers).

As a fan of the original comics, a dark Fantastic Four movie is sort of like a drinking cup/pasta strainer combo. However, I completely agree that IF you want to do that, you have to fully commit or it falls apart entirely. This could have been a weird but interesting film but it really seems like the studio killed it. Another Suicide Squad situation. If you're doing something bold, man up and jump in with both feet; otherwise, it'll definetly fail.

It's great, but Birdman, Boyhood, Grand Budapest Hotel and Nightcrawler were all just as good. I would even say Mr. Turner, The Babadook, Wild, Gloria, Leviathan and several others are just as good. Though from the movies I just named I think Mike and Jay have seen less than half of them. It's actually getting annoying how much they claim to defend the artistry of cinema, and then they never see any artistic films. Every year there's at least 20 or so truly great artistic films, and they only see 3 or 4 that reached mainstream popularity.

jays mic: IIlllIIIIIIlllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIlIIIIIIlllllIIllII

[@ethzero]

Oh dear. Sounds like JayBot needs a tune-up.

[@BretGammons]

I've been waiting for this all weekend. Wow, my life is sad.

[@spencerpommier806]

That Dr. Doom thing in the beginning was completely true

[@missingmarsupial]

Anyone else hear the noise coming from Jay's mic?

[@venkatchait007]

It isn't that hard to make a comic book movie, just hire people who actually like and know the original source material...

[@rrnlg2279]

Yijuwarp Being true to the comics doesn't matter. It's a very small number of people who know. A even smaller number cares. And they are going regardless. The studios just need to stop putting all their money on random focus groups.

[@Edeinawc]

Nah, they just know the brand. I'm sure less than a percentile of people that watch comic book movies ever read any of the comics. They just know it exists and that's good enough. Even if they've ever read a single comic, the ridiculous amounts of different versions don't make much sense. All ya gotta do is a good movie, but they don't do that either.

[@McJaews]

You can make something cool even though it's goofy. Monkey D. Luffy has great moments where he asserts himself as a character with authority and integrity while stretching his arms, legs, and even neck, during fights with cat-people, droopy-ear lobed Eminem look-alikes, and flamboyantly dressed flamingos. It's all about the contrasts. You do the goofy stretchy guy, and then you put him in a situation where he needs to rise to the challenge, and then you make him explode with competency. The problem with doing semi-realistic, gritty stretch guy is that there's not contrast in the character since he goes from bland normal guy to silly stretchy guy.

The ring in Jay's audio makes me go insane

[@faust3530]

Damn it's only Josh's 2nd major film. Hope the next thing he makes, he gets more control over the final cut. There's so many great things about chronicle it was definitely not a fluke.

[@itsd0nk]

6 years later... Yeah it may have been a fluke. /slide whistle

[@sappy9320]

great job recording jay's lav mic! really neat stuff

[@5ryanlriggs]

The fact that you edited in bad audio buzz for jays close up is just the best thing Lolol.

[@fitz33]

What's amazing in the trailer clips you included here is how many scenes aren't in the movie at all... What a debacle...

[@CasaiAgicap]

As a comics reader, this sort of thing is really frustrating for me. The Fantastic Four CAN be fun and CAN be well written, and Doctor Doom alone is a fantastic character with a long and storied history with some amazing high points (he's basically become God twice now). The problem is that they're only ever interested in writing the origin story, and never want to deviate into anything else--and they're so desperate to be liked, that they refuse either make Reed the know it all asshole he is in the comics OR just go in the opposite direction and completely embrace the silliness inherent in these characters' powers and like 90% of their villains (one of their villains leads an army of mole people for fuck's sake, have fun with it), and turn it into a light-hearted thing, because that's too big of a risk. Basically, Fantastic Four movies suck not because the necessarily bad, but because they're hard to adapt when you have no sense of creativity. Also, Doctor Doom is awesome, if you take nothing else out of this, just understand that.

[@GamesWithBrainz]

jesus... jays audio. HORRIBLE

[@rusteddenial453]

of course mike likes the plotline where a man is abandoned by there crew on a planet for a long time but then makes there way back as a changed man thats every star trek movie
