    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    Vanessa Kirby says with her performance that she was planting seeds for the possibility of doing the Malice storyline at some point in the future.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    That’s fair, and for sure they trimmed the film down to get it under 2 hours. I just didn’t mind the focus.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    The fame and celebrity plays into isolation, though. This is a common thread with Ben, he’s not seen as a monster now, but instead he’s a cartoon character with a catch phrase. The irony being, it’s the same fate. It’s why the scene with him spinning the car for the kids is both heartwarming and...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I agree with Micah, a single movie isn’t ideal for a soap compared to a serialised format. The movie still has a lot of the plot centre around a married couple dealing with a pregnancy and the birth of their first child, which feels more soap than superhero to me.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    They are in an isolated bubble. That's the point. They're disconnected from the world they protect. That is the depth. We're shown this through both Johnny and Ben and they're interactions with people outside their circle. Johnny looks uncomfortable when Sue teases him about dating, because he...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I just want to make another post about the production design. I loved all the detail and (alternate) world building. Those silver vinyl records looked so good! This is also the first movie I can remember in a long time where I would have liked to have seen it on IMAX for Galactus.

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    Oops, hit the wrong button before replying... Ragnarock had more characters, yeah, so did Love and Thunder. Fantastic 4, Galactus, Silver Surfer, Moleman and Franklin felt like enough characters to tell a story for me. The number of characters has nothing to do with how good a film is...

    Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

    I thought that showing the origin story in a TV show montage celebrating 4 yeas of the Fantastic Four was a good way to catch up the audience whilst also giving background to the world we're in.

    I'm not sure how wild it is to have a movie about the Fantastic Four focus on the Fantastic Four.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I thought the film was worth seeing for the production design alone. I loved the 60’s retro future look of everything. Apparently it was the same design team that worked on the Loki series. Galactus and Silver Surfer were also highlights, but everyone was perfectly cast.

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    So once a player learns the spell 'control weather' the game is no longer simulationist? ;) I'm just kidding. I know what you meant, I just thought it was a funny example.

    Ozzy has passed. Pour one out for the Prince of Darkness.

    I'm planning to snort some ants later.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    Yeah, Quinn as the Human Torch is probably what I'm most looking forward to in the film. OK, him and Galactus.

    I hope this is as good as Prey and Killer of Killers.

    D&D's October Product Revealed to Be Stranger Things Tie-In

    The narrative around here went from 'WotC are idiots for not making more tie in products' to 'I can't believe WotC are making more tie in products, what a bunch of sellouts' so fast I got whiplash.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I was a fan of that version too, would have loved to see them get a sequel and do the Judge Death storyline. I liked the whacky storylines in 2000 AD more than Judge Dredd specifically, so probably why I can see Taika working. I can understand being worried if you want a more grounded Dredd again.

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser Trailer (2025)

    I read yesterday there's talk of Taika directing a new Judge Dredd film, which I think could work.

    Spoilers Superman Spoiler Thread

    The more I think back on the movie, the more I liked it and the more I think it worked. It just took a while for my mind to get used to a Superman in the Gunn style, but his mix of sentimental and silly as actually a good fit. I'm extremely keen for Supergirl now. It did make me wonder about...

    D&D General Have you ever retired a character?

    As the title says. I'm not talking about writing an ending for your character when the campaign is over. Have you ever retired a character and made a new one instead to continue playing? If so, why? I've only ever retired a character once, (that I can recall) he fell in love with an NPC and...
