Which movies failed because they weren't comic accurate That's not what I was saying at all. I was saying that they were sparking outrage for viral marketing purposes -- like when they showed the ugly Spider-Man costume before Homecoming. People got upset thinking that was all he was going to get when really it was just a tease to get people talking. But this has the added bonus of categorizing themselves as progressives. Tomorrow, YouTube will be abuzz with videos about "woke" Disney, progressive Disney, the awesome history of the female Silver Surfer you never knew, etc. You'll see the same sparring and battle lines being drawn across social media as well. This will be tantamount to at least $20 million worth of ad campaign and all they had to do was announce that Silver Surfer will be a woman. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:979722214] in Female Sil...

You think it would get the same response if they announced that a redheaded (male) actor would be playing Mr. Fantastic? It's a comic book movie. Any casting news get buzz. They didn't cast Pedro Pascal to troll you. It seems kinda obvious that Marvel Studios specifically tries to make these movies as distinct as they possibly can to avoid direct comparisons and to avoid retreading the same ground. It doesn't even look like Doctor Doom will be in F4. If he is it'll likely be a small role or tease. We already saw this with Spider-Man where they completely skipped over the origin and brought back old villains with the old actors instead of doing them again even though Green Goblin and Doc Ock are generally his biggest antagonists. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:979722300] in Female Sil...

Well, it seems now the conversation has pivoted to "B-b-but Norrin Radd is the most iconic version, why are they doing a character that nobody asked for!" I don't think people have a right to be upset about this if they didn't know his name was Norrin Radd. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:979727719] in Female Sil...

Guardians of the Galaxy succeeded because the writing was funny, the use of talented actors, and the tone was unique. It definitely wasn't because comic books nerds loved the original source material. --- [Feminist][CisGender][Straight Supporter][Non-Binary] I'm not Ashamed to Dress 'like a Woman' because I don't think it's Shameful to be a Woman. ~Iggy Pop~ <cite>lydiaquayle posted [p:979740749] in Female Sil...

It definitely wasn't because comic books nerds loved the original source material. As a comic book nerd and fan of the GotG before the movie was a thing, you're hitting the nail on the head.

But the movies get a pass because they're actually good and enjoyable movies even for those that love the source material. <cite>TheSavageDragon posted [p:979741706] in Female Sil...
