What Marvel fans hope for Fant4stic, in 5 seconds - Video
PUBLISHED:  Aug 07, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
I was watching the Rotten Tomatoes number go down, sink below Ghost Rider numbers, below the worst of the X-Mens and Green Lantern and then below the likes of Superman IV, Batman & Robin and Steel and keep going. I was so excited and I wanted popcorn to watch it plummet.

The other Marvel properties that came out in 2015 attained 98% (Daredevil Season 1 on Netflix), 74% (Avengers 2) and 80% (Ant-Man) and then here's Fox's version of Fantastic Four at 9%. That's tied with Catwoman as the worst superhero reviews so far in the 21st century, and it extends all the way back to 1984's Supergirl at 7%, the only worse-reviewed superhero movie EVER made.

After Superman IV: The Quest For Peace, it took almost 20 years for SUPERMAN to get another movie, and Fant4stic is lower rated than that.

That's good news for Marvel fans. Fox needs this bomb not only to learn a harsh lesson but hopefully to sell the rights back to Marvel who will not only do it right one day but the FF could be included in such movies as Avengers: Infinity War!

"Marvel's First Family", The Fantastic Four was the genesis of Marvel Comics -- Stan Lee's at-the-time last ditch effort (before planning to leave the business) to do a team comic like he wanted -- a new-age swingin' 60s approach to comics. A new wave of pop art. All the fun of previous eras but with believable, flawed characters and relatable situations. If it wasn't for its success, none of the other Marvel characters would have been created. Their mind-bending adventures, in this age of incredible cgi technology, should outshine The Avengers, but here we have Fox putting the most minimal effort in history into it, including making the ultimate badass villain on Earth in the Marvel Universe, Dr. Doom the genius sorcerer dictatorial monarch, into a laughing stock.

Oh, but how entertaining this debacle is.
Why, I even forgot about last winter when the cast died in a Marvel comic: http://www.slashfilm.com/fantastic-four-movie-cast-killed-comics/
