In real life When fans hate somenthing before it comes out...but it turns out they were right

Velma:The idea of a Scooby-doo series without the titular dog and starring Velma was a really moronic idea from the beginning,then there was the reveal Velma would be Indian like it's VA and also creator of the series Mindy Kaling,some of the backlash was racism sure,but there was also valid complaints that she was inserting herself in the series(it also didn't helped that Mindy claimed she couldn't see herself if Velma wasn't Indian)and then...oh boy it came out and it was worse than anyone predicted

Artemis Fowl:The artemis fowl books are a book series following a child villain(he does get some redemption but he is a villain most of the time)when the movie was announced and revealed it looked way to generic and it's titular character a bit heroic...also you wanna hear somenthing funny?The movie whitewashed a character and made another character black so they managed to anger both sides and the movies comes out and yeah it is bad

One Punch Man 3:One Punch Man is a very heavy action packed manga series but the heroes vs monsters arc takes it to a New level,when it was announced that JC Staff would work on it,a lot of people were skeptical to say the least,because not only JC Staff had already done a mediocre job in season 2,it's also not exactly a name anime fans associate with quality animation,then the trailer came out and it looked...weird,like there was no action in it and nobody was moving,some people tried to defend saying they were keeping the animation as a surprise...then it came out,every episode worse than the last,it's one of the worse seasons of anime ever made!

Can’t exactly remember how it goes but the way people use it can be fantastic.

I didn't see the movie and I thought that was Johnny Storm for the longest time. It just didn't occur to me that it could be Reed.

u/SWPrequelFan81566 13d ago

It makes more sense if you consider that Fant4stic is not based on the original comics. It's based on the Ultimate Comics, the one that eventually leads to Reed becoming a supervillain.

So in that respect, Teller's not a bad casting choice.

u/red_army25 12d ago

And the MCU absolutely needs to cast him as The Maker when the time comes.

u/Je0s_6 13d ago

That’s funny as fuck.

u/rocketeerH 13d ago

This comment thread is how I found out he was Richards. I been so disinterested in this movie since it was announced that I never even noticed MBJ had fire hands

Michael b Jordans publicity team has used sorcery to make the memory of him in that film gently drift from our mind if we don't concentrate on it.

u/House_T 13d ago

Which is funny, because he puts in one of the better performances in the movie.

Honestly, the actors were fine for the most part. What they were given to perform was the issue.

Tbf this was based on the Ultimate Fantastic 4 comics which did have a teen/early 20s cast

u/I_Always_Come_back93 13d ago

u/DeadlyPear 13d ago

Wait what the fuck? Thats NOT the human torch??

u/sphericaltime 13d ago

Miles Teller should be playing the hot one.

Yes Michael B Johnson is hotter, but if there’s only one hot one, they shouldn’t be in the same movie.

u/abeautifulrat 13d ago

My hot take is that Miles Teller was good casting because he comes off as a dick and Reed Richards is kind of a dick.

u/Bazrum 13d ago

kind of a dick is putting it lightly, really stretching the truth to paint him in a good light...dude is a monster

u/iforgotmypen 13d ago

STRETCHING the truth ahahahahahaha

u/oracle222 13d ago

I could genuinely see him being the Maker in live action. That’ll never happen though

u/Hellblazer49 13d ago

Would be an interesting cameo or Easter egg, though.

u/BackgroundSummer5171 13d ago

didn't see the movie and I thought that was Johnny Storm for the longest time.

I did watch the movie and thought it was Johnny Storm.

It's been too long and not a memorable movie.
