At least the filk songs are more entertaining then Blob's videos. I know, not a high bar.

Well you just nailed it. He doesn't work for his living, he's fully supported by hipster welfare.

Oh fuck you. Did you learn nothing after calling Spaceballs "good enough"?
 
Joking aside i don't see how you can fit the F4 in the MCU at this point.Because by this point someone would have mentioned the name Reed Richards even in passing in some conversation .Having them suddenly appear would be weird and out of place.Of course its possible Bob is hoping against hope that some actual exec from Disney will watch his 'ideas' about fixing some franchise and hire him.The sad part is someone might actually be that dumb remember Hollywood made Battlefield Earth.

Hollywood might be that dumb (and Battlefield Earth isn't a great example; that was a passion project of Scientologist loon John Travolta for many years, until Pulp Fiction and his revival gave him the clout to pull it off), but Marvel isn't. They've been extremely canny with their films and their marketing, and I seriously doubt they're going to have a collective brain fart long or powerful enough to take anything Bob Chipman says seriously.

Honestly, I don't think his Fantastic 4 idea is that bad. To me it's a rare glimmer of a diamond in the festering pile of shit that is Bob Chipman.

Now I'm mildly curious. Does he post episode transcripts? I'd watch the video if looking at him didn't make me want to gouge my eyes out with a spork from a middle school cafeteria and listening to him didn't make me want to fill my ears with scalding, hot wax.

The Fantastic 4's origin story begins in the 60s in the MCU where they sneak aboard a shuttle, get launched to space, and gain their powers. As revealed in a post-credits sequence in one of the upcoming Marvel movies, their shuttle crashes in the present day. The story of his pitch is each of the members having to readjust to life in the modern day in their own specific ways, what with them being products of the 60s. The plot will be coming in Part II.

If Bob's story involves Reed Richards sperging about the superior future, well 1.) I wouldn't be surprised and 2.) It'd actually fit in if Reed was talking about Space Age optimism instead of the far-left authoritarianism Bob preaches.

Bashing my head against a wall of Bob Chipman theories, but ...

* The "fish out of water" theme is already going strong with Captain America. Retreading old ground.

* Reed Richards really doesn't work as he does in the comics unless he's an established player on the super-science circuit. That's kind of his whole shtick. I mean, I sort of could see him arriving on the scene and suddenly making a splash, I just think it's a little late in the game for it. That being said ...

* The role Reed Richards usually assumes has already largely been taken by Tony Stark, and now Hank Pym. I think a lot of the "cosmic watchdog" stories Reed was often part of will be taken by Doctor Strange.

The bottom line is Marvel has got to be careful of oversaturating their universe with too many characters, not to mention the increasingly implausible excuses they have to make as to why the Avengers aren't handling some situation. Throw in the FF, and now they have to foist some bullshit why two super-teams aren't in the quadrant. On top of that, for whatever reason nobody seems to get the FF right. Could be they're just too cheesy at base. All Bob is arguing is rehashing the Captain America stuff and doing yet another origin story before getting to the nitty gritty, which is a well Marvel has gone to far too often already.

I rate myself :autism: for this post.

EDIT: Ninja'd on the Cap stuff.

Because working is for those mediocre folks who can't compete, but are at least entitled to live eat his table scraps, as long as they don't think racist sexist thoughts.....

I disagree with the Fantastic Four being too outdated and cheesy to work in a modern setting. People always say that about capeshit characters who have bad adaptations like Superman who decent stories are still written about today or even Daredevil which I doubt you hear now. You just need someone who "gets" it enough to not fuck up a story about a family of adventurers.

TL;DR Disney already made the best Fantastic Four film. They call it "The Incredibles".

:offtopic: Edit: I don't think the effort should be put into putting them into the MCU though. Unlike what Blobby and other spergs think, it's not going to make it that far past Infinity War part 2. Interest will decline after the conclusion they built up since the Avengers 1 and it'll drop even faster if their plans are to replace the characters people care about like it seems like they're going to do. Look at what that did to the guys who write the comics.

:offtopic: I hear ya. It's just that the movies have had three bites at the Fantastic Four apple and have blown it every time (granted, the Roger Corman one was mostly a film rights scam, but by some accounts it managed to be the best of the three of them anyway), so I don't if anyone is going to get it right. Also, as great as The Incredibles is, a lot of its charm comes from the fact it is so retro in design. That's not going to fly for a Marvel Stuidos FF. (Although how great would it be if they did a 1960s retro piece that was just in its own continuity? I can't see them taking that kind of chance, though.)

I think a bigger issue is that Reed Richards is a major component of the Marvel Universe whose absence they've already had to work around. And while Ben Grimm has pathos and drama coming out of his rocky ears, the other two are ultimately fairly forgettable characters. What's the point? :offtopic:

There's a difference between superhero characters that change to fit the times, and those that change to fit the fads.... the latter usually don't last.

Silver-Age Superman would be incredibly hokey if you tried to make a movie around him and played everything in it dead straight. But the fact there have been a few successful movies of him in recent memory (and a few duds to be fair) proves he's far from an outdated character despite being, what, 80 years old?

Super spergs like Bob want them to change to keep up to "current" at all times... ignorant that a lot of those "Current" ideas are dead-ends with 3 year shelf lives.

Here's my pitch for how you fix the Fantastic Four.

They show up in the MCU with little explanation because they're actually from another timeline where their origin story happened, and they're trying to figure out how to stop the Skrulls from invading Earth like they did on their homeland. And then they do.
