If you noticed, alot of the Marvel/Fox characters of foreign orgin don't speak with their native accents...

Doom...both times a no-go.
Storm..Halle tried in the first Xmen for a hot minute :mjlol:
Collosus...
I'm sure I'm missing someone.
Even Marvel Studios Black Widow which puzzles me seeing both Quicksilver and the Witch used their Eastern European accents. You'd think that Scarlett would have the aptitude to do a Russian one.

elevant with comics fans or not, the F4 aren't supposed to be gritty and dark. The light-heartedness and cheese is part of their appeal.
That's what pisses me off about Nolan's approach to Batman and it's success...everyone thinks it works for every character (s) in the comic book genre and it doesn't.

This. These FOX dudes totally missed the point. In the comic books, the FF were inventing crazy gadgets, flying in and out of alternate dimensions and chilling with all kinds of aliens and extra-dimensional beings on other planets and realities, etc. They should have embraced that on some Doctor Who type stuff instead of trying so hard to force the franchise to be something it isn't.

All of this "grim" and "gritty" anti-hero nonsense is played out to me. It works for street-level dudes like Daredevil and Batman, but not every character is meant to to be that.

Edit: (Speaking of Daredevil and Batman, :salute: to both)

Comic books and the films adapted from said titles should always respect the variety they provide their fans. I'm a grown man and I love comic books. No shame.
Let's face it, if a studio, a director or even the actors think that it's too childish to be involved in the genre, just say no to the project.:birdman:
I want people that are happy to take these films on because it shows in the end result.
Ant-Man was saved from such a bad start because Marvel saw it through with a director who's a comic nerd himself. He may not have been their first choice but he did a great job with what he was given.

Fox has a long track record of fukking up iconic characters

The Thing (fist fantastic 4)
Galactus :snoop:
Dead Pool in Wolverine Origins
Dr. Doom
The Juggernaut (he wasn't no damn mutant like they portrayed him in X3 :mjpls:)
Apocalypse (so far he doesn't look promising :scusthov:)

Like I said before. Fox knows fans will flock to see anything as long as it has Marvel attached to it

The Black Widow non accent makes some sense as she was a spy being sent to America to infiltrate. This was touched on in the Agent Carter series when they showed the early version of the Black Widow training camp and show them watching and imitating Disney movies to learn an American accent.

So they at least have a reason with her.

And she did speak it in the first Avengers.. and that's all that matters

Pretty much every great and classic X-man who wasn't Wolverine (or played by a big name) was either killed off, miscast, forgotten, de-powered, a glorified cameo, or treated like an afterthought by the end of the third movie and origins. Those two movies are so :scust: to me they make my skin crawl :scusthov:

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that they don't try to make X-men Apocalypse all about Mystique just because of the big name under all that blue makeup...

Edit: oddly enough, I thought the Thing was the least of the problems with the original fantastic four movies. Compared to the way they miscast Sue, downplayed Reed Richards, neutered Doom, and turned Galactus into a cloud, the Thing seemed like the one character they actually did a fine job with :manny:
