[@natemcgilvray]

Namor is one of my top three favorite villains-back when he still was mostly considered a villain-and I thought they did a really interesting mock up of him for a modern film adaption that distanced him from becoming what normies would've called him and you know it: Aquados. I also really enjoyed how they intertwined what seemed like Aztec&Mayan culture into his back story and kingdom. It was a really great breakaway from the same "king of Atlantis" schtick we get for both DC's and Marvel's number one amphibian.

[@OoBLUEPLANEToO]

Your right Pedro is the wrong age, wrong look and a ridiculous casting for Reed Richards, looks like her grandad. Fans were already excited about Krazinski. Why didn't they stick with him.

[@lord_meat4358]

Because it was a one time thing for krazinski. And reed was always older in the comics.

Krasinki has said a lot of times that cameo was just for the fans, but he didnt want to BE THE Reed Richards of the MCU. Thats why he wont be in this film

Exactly. They didn't even race or gender swap that much here. I pretty much agree with Snarky Jay here; the other three are mediocre who may or may not work but Pedro Pascal is horrendous, legitimately one of the dumbest men in Hollywood with his political takes, and doesn't even look the part. You can't fix this movie that jackass as it's star. This is Brie Larson and Ben Affleck all over again.

I thought the movie version of Namor was interesting, but sadly it was not the Namor I grew up with. It was an entirely different character.

Adam Driver, Matt Smith and Jake Gyllenhaal all turned down the role of Reed Richards, after reading the part. It sounds like the premise is that Reed Richards is a neglectful and abusive husband and the film concentrates on Sue Storm finding her own inner strength to become leader of the F4. Pedro is an activist and doesn't mind taking a knee.

That was the script though. IMHO the script was bad on so many levels that I don't blame any single actor for it. It didn't just do all the characters dirty, it did the entire sequel premise dirty for both Strange AND Wanda given that: #1. Strange and Mordo had an epic confrontation waiting to happen in DS2 - not Strange and Wanda. #2. Wanda already resolved her issues in WandaVision which just made MoM seem like it was kneejerk thrown together at the last minute with Wanda as the villain simply because they couldn't think of something better that wasn't based on an end credit scene from 5 years earlier. They really missed a trick in leaving developing the Strange/Mordo emnity out of Thor Ragnarok or Black Panther or (somehow) Captain Marvel - huge botch job. Having Strange/Mordo in Thor Ragnarok would have made far more sense than the Hulk anyway - and we could have had them set their problems aside to fight Thanos together for Infinity War.

I agree with some of the others on here that have said. The 2005 Fantastic 4 may have had a lot of problems but the casting of the 4 was not one of them.

You are one of 4 who liked Andor. The pace was slow, but turning a toe-dipper into a full fledged rebel spy doesn't happen in one day. It was well written and excellent character development. Take that while you can get it, because I don't praise Disney or Lucasfilm often these days.

[@snarkyjay]

True that. I genuinely loved Andor.

[@neospock5034]

yep, Andor was a brilliant slow burn.

[@CHRISMED2]

Loved Andor, well written story and character driven show. It really helped with the long season to tell a great story

[@mperezmcfinn2511]

Andor was more sophisticated and brilliantly executed than anyone expected from Disney. From what I've noticed, people who can tolerate the slow pace, love Andor.

[@vice2versa]

​@@snarkyjay ive seen people praising Andor everywhere on youtube. Almost as much as Arcane.

[@Beard_Hood]

it kinda makes sense they would do Pedro. They will make this about Sue and Pedro is okay with taking the back seat.

[@snarkyjay]

Probably. Pedro is cool with that, clearly.

[@SeanUCF]

Well the originals were more about Sue Storm since Jessica Alba was the "it girl" at the time. So now that Pedro has a similar thing going on, it's most likely going to feature him as the lead while the rest take a back seat. So I think you're dead wrong if history is any indicator.

[@nicktaylor2552]

Omg Glenn Howerton is a genius idea !!! That's all I want now !!

[@new-dystopia]

Great video, lots of good points. Regarding Reed - Pedro's age is my biggest complaint as well. If this is going to be a one time movie, sure, but not if we expect to see him recording movies for the next half decade or possible more.

[@garrettjones9246]

In the OG comics, Reed Richards was substantially older than Sue Storm… he was something like 12-15 years older than her. It’s only been over the last 20 years that writers have evened out the years between the characters.

[@bronzetiger6360]

👍 Exactly.

[@MichaelSmith-dk1lc]

Not exactly true, reed said they were childhood friends. it wasn't until later it was retconned to a 6 year age gap

I have no intention of watching this movie.

[@xgray2012]

In my opinion, they should have gotten John Krasinski to play Reed Richards in this movie.

[@ukmediawarrior]

The 2005 Fantastic 4 was superb casting. Each actor nailed their character in both looks, personality and simply the vibe you got off them. Gone are the days of casting for talent or to mirror the actor with the character. As we all know these days an actor is cast first and foremost for their skin color, sexual orientation or political views.

[@Waaagh40KRed]

Ioan Gruffudd: Not impressed. But I was surprised when I learned that he voiced Mister Miracle in Justice League Unlimited. Michael Chiklis: The best actor in the cast. Chris Evans: I agree with Snarky Jay that he’s a better Captain America Jessica Alba: Nicest thing I could say about her is that I’d prefer to see her return for either Deadpool 3 or Secret Wars than see Margot Robbie play Sue Storm.

[@AP-pk6mk]

Bro what are you talking about? Everyone is white in this cast.... Before people say Pedro isn't, his family is from Spain and only recently went to Chile.

[@AP-pk6mk]

Those movies also weren't great...

[@corvus2512]

I honestly don’t see any issues here, all of them are proven to be excellent actors…. There isn’t even any race or gender swapping going on here. Pedro Pascal is a white guy… what’s the issue? Surely people aren’t upset he is Latino? Speaking Spanish (a European language) doesn’t mean you aren’t white, there is an entire country of white people who speak Spanish… Spain. Am I missing something here?

LMFAO! Good one Alfred.

[@simonthedevil452]

Holy money. I never considered Glen Howerton as Richards. That's a good pick. Kudos

[@Film_Overload]

I think they cast these roles based off of what THEY wanted to see and not what WE wanted to see, which is sad! You're making a product for your customers, NOT YOURSELVES! GREAT VIDEO BTW! REALLY like your style! P.S. My dream F4 Cast: John Krasinski - Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic Emily Blunt - Sue Storm/Invisible Woman Zac Efron/Dacre Montgomery - Johnny Storm/Human Torch Ebon Moss-Bachrach - Ben Grim/The Thing

[@maskedsuperstar7601]

I know it was done on a shoestring budget and the visuals aren't the best but the heart shown in the 1990s Fantastic Four movie is why its still the best movie adaption of Marvel's first family.

[@MRF1983]

Arnold Vosloo from The Mummy would've made an excellent Dr. Doom back in the day. Sometimes I like to imagine Vincent Price as Dr. Strange, because he was an inspiration on the original incarnation of the character.

[@ShadowReborn]

That "Coño, no jodas" moment utterly obliterated me!! Truly agree with your assessment though, as much as I adore Pedro, it still is such a huge miscast 😢

[@theanimationcritictaylorri1264]

Venessa Kirby looks the part. I don’t know either of the The Human Torch or The Thing actors as for Pedro… YES HES OVEREXPOSED! Why not a Henry Cavil or a at the very least a Henry Cavil look alike?

@@matthewparker235 in a perfect world. There wouldn’t be any need for those stupid standards & D.I.E being about movements of minorities. Thus it would bring an end to the very blatant racism & sexism. Also I’m both but I’m actually a South Paw which is only between 10%-12% of the population. Which effectively means by their own logic. They’re still going against celebrating the minorities they say they want to raise up. But hey they’ve pretty much all but Blackmailed a former MMA Boxer who had gotten some acolytes.

If I’m being honest, I’d say she would’ve been a far better as Emma Frost.

[@TheMattooine]

I enjoyed Ebon in Andor as well as The Punisher. He does drama well. As for the rest I'm keeping an open mind until I see the movie. Remember, we don't know how these characters have been written. We haven't seen the audition footage of everyone who went up for the parts. After Affleck and Pattinson as Batman/Wayne and Heath and Joaquin as Jokers I'm not dismissing anyone...YET.

[@snarkyjay]

You make some good points there, I just genuinely think Pascal doesn’t have “it” when it comes to Richards. But we’ll see!

[@TheMattooine]

@@snarkyjay Pedro Fatigue is real. I absolutely get that. He would NOT be on my short list. Just gotta wait and see..😐

[@fromchomleystreet]

When Lee and Kirby created these characters, they specifically gave Reed Richards greying hair because he was supposed to be significantly older than their other, non-greying superheroes. If you’d suggested to them that Sue and Reed were 13 years apart in age, they would have been surprised that you imagined the age gap to be so small.

[@Summon256]

Wait, you said Kirby? Kirby is the name of one of the guys, who created F4??! And Vanessa Kirby is playing Sue Storm in this?! Haha this couldn't be any more ironic...lol

Poor Arrested Development, it was cut down in its prime, Netflix doesn't count.

[@SwesomegamerX]

i dont know how to feel about it, but that could be due to nostalgia to the first two movies. hard to top in my opinion but it seems like they went online a picked from the most vocal fancasts just cuz that who literally everyone was saying.

Totally agree.

[@natemcgilvray]

The only problem I have with Evan is he's been qouting saying things like "We're not doing a suit this time around. That's a little amatuer." Uhhhh, what! If one can do practical effects * well*, then i see no reason not to, and I prefer them to CGI. When my step-dad took me to see the re-release of SW with Lucas' "improvements" via CGI, I was not only an unimpressed child, but annoyed. The scene with Jabba in the hangar actually ruins his reveal with practical effects and costuming in RotJ.

[@derkzo2034]

Casting a caucasian guy like Matt Smith, Penn Badgley, Eddie Redmayne or even Ethan Peck could have worked as Reed Richards. I don't have to consider Krasinski because he doesn't want to play the part again. Kirby is a fine choice she is probably too serious to play Sue. An actress like Samara Weaving or Lily James would be perfect.

[@CyreseParrish]

It is like Disney almost prospers by doing the least profitable thing possible. It sure does give them press, I'll give them that

Honestly, I want to see how the casting plays out. Micheal Keaton worked out well as Batman and Health Ledger was great as the Joker so who knows

[@White_Tiger2169]

The casting didn’t steal my breath away. But Pedro Pascual is the casting that I care the least. But I have to say cast him in a biopic of Charles Bronson and he will be perfect for it. Or in a remake of any of his movies

[@snarkyjay]

That is very true.

[@ericpawling8298]

The thing is every time the main characters in a superhero movie is cast, everyone loses their minds. It was the same for most of the Batman castings starting with Michael Keaton. Nobody thought the comedian that played Mr. Mom was a good choice. No one thought RDJ could play Ironman, or even Chris Evans as Captain America. I’m tired of hearing “it’s not a good casting, they should have used this other person!”. Then after the film is released they’re amazed by it and start say they knew it would be good. Give it a rest and save the speculation until after it’s released. Besides, John Krasinski’s Reed Richards is dead. I’m sure they want a version that has more life expectancy. Personally I’m fine with it, as if I or any of us have any say in it.🙂
