I like that Venom too. My only problem with him other than the T-Crotch is his height. He a little too short for my taste.

Yeah, I'm with u on that, I can appreciate the effort? But the previous version from the spidey line which is in the two pack was/is awesome already, and doesnt suffer from his lack of articulation.

Meaning he is a bruiser, so u don't expect him to be super flexible anyway, they coulda skipped the all new design, added knees to the one they had, and gave us something else, like say Kingpin or many other major villains they have yet to release.

I suppose it's cool that they are giving us a new one, but it really doesn't make a lot of sense, I think the spidey line one looks cooler anyways.

I hate the Spidey line Rhino. Things crap in my book.

I'll be selling him off soon. Can't wait for the new MU Rhino. He's much better, but his face is a little cheesy and where are his knees...?

jdrums · 07-15-2012, 07:48 PM

homie came through.....i still need the xforce set though.

I believe I have one, maybe we could trade or what have you let me know

Also as far as Doom/villian talk goes I'd say Agent Smith/Red Skull/V for Vendetta (name escapes me) should be all the masked bad guys because then he would actually you know be masked and ok with it unlike all the other folks in these movies.

ON a side note as far as the Fan 4 movies go in general I was sastified for the most part by the first one. I'm a Thing mark and I think they did a good job with his character/mannerisms and such so I liked it. the second one can go find a way to commit suicide an infinite number of times for all I care it was that bad.

I think if they had just given us an actual Galactus instead of a cloud it might not have been as bad but they blew their collective wad so to speak and crammed too much into too little of a movie. I would have prefered if they had just had Galactus show up and the have the Surfer battling and coming to his senses and then Frankie become Nova and Reed send her off to the Skrull homeworld unknowingly we would have had a set up for a Surfer Movie + FF3 and everyone would have been happy.

Also they could have teased Namor having been awakened, if they went the ultimates route with Galactus/Surfer's coming. Then in FF3 they could have had Namor battle Skrulls trying Reed and other insanely cool comic moments but no that's asking too much

Christopher Walken...

Okay I know he's old, but you know that'd be either freaking epic or hillarious or both.

I would have been satisfied with them if they stuck to the plan they had.

Silhouette of Galactus for teaser, reveal him in the Surfer prequel. Instead they canned the Surfer prequel and opted to reboot the franchise. -_-
Now that the boring stories of Fan4 are done though, there was nowhere to go but up. Granted story techniques suggest the next movie would have to be mole man or namor though. (Origin, threat from deep space, next logical step would be threat from depths of the earth or depths of the ocean.)

So I don't really see the point in a full on reboot. Hopefully the reboot is more in line like what the Norton hulk did with the flashbacks. If every 5-8 years we get a new fantastic 4 and the wedding over and over again, I'm going to get burned out on the property entirely.

Boba Fettuccini · 07-15-2012, 09:09 PM

That would be nice. I'd rather jump in post-origin with an established villain instead of origins all-around.
