The second movie had some decent moments (Silver Surfer just casually leaning through Sue's force field just to show he could was pretty intimidating, I thought) and some not so decent moments (Reed dancing).

Yeah, the silver surfer was pretty cool

I get the vibe that somebody wants to make an 80s style movie here.

The Fantastic Four have to enter a dance off to save the community center from being torn down to build a strip mall?

Sorry, that's what my mind immediately goes to when I think 80s movie.

The second movie was good when the Surfer was on screen. Everything else was pretty meh.

I disagree. I think it had some great scenes moments even when the Surfer wasn't on screen, like Ben and Johnny's discussion in the bar about where they'd like to be when the end comes, or Reed's verbal smackdown of the Nick Fury expy.

I also thought they handled the looming threat of Galactus really well, even though the Big G himself was pretty lame, in execution.

Doom in the UN just sitting there in his armor would be hilarious but not much of a story.

Eheh.

Heh heh.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

That is the most amazing mental picture, right there.[awesome]grin

I'm not sure DOOM would be much for just sitting there. He's just walk right into the UN and start giving orders, making demands, and basically making himself the center of everyone's attention for all the wrong reasons.

Indeed.

It would still be funny, though.

Or, alternatively, he'd sit there and do nothing deliberately specifically because that's exactly what no one would expect, and would do it specifically to troll them.

"DOOM commanded your attention, and all it required was being present in the room. Such is the power of DOOM!"

And then he mind-controls everyone.

Fox need to do that Champions story where Doom takes over the world. Not having the Hulk is a bit of a blow, but the rest of the important stuff is available to them.

As an aside, I wonder if plotlines are part of the rights deal. I can think of stories that have basically been copied from X-Men to Avengers, and vica versa. Could Marvel be prohibited from doing a time travel story too much like Days of Future Past?

The second movie was a pretty good Human Torch movie, but the supporting characters - specifically, the rest of the Torch's family - were pretty unimpressive.

Chris Evans was the only consistently good part of those movies.

Okay, Torch was funny enough but I still dislike most of the second movie that doesn't involve the Surfer.

Well, they have Kang, so they very well could use him if they want a time travel epic.

Although Kang actually started as a FF villain (Rama-Tut), but he's become so much of an Avengers fixture since he should fall under the Quicksilver exception, at least.

They can use him as Kang and Immortus but not as Rama-tut is probably how it'll shake out.

Kang is a bit of a trick villain to use but if they do something like how Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes handled him, I could see it working.

I kinda liked Ben Grimm, and obviously the torch. Invisi girl was meh. But I have always hated Reed and will always hate reed. Both the character and anyone who plays him.

I wish they'd used Kang instead of Thanos. Also how long was it before Kang, Immortus and Rama Tut became the same guy?

But it was first hinted at during the Stan Lee era.

Not that I don't like Kang, but he never seems to realize that there are easier centuries to conquer than the one with superheroes living every three blocks. Of course, there was that time he tried to conquer the old west, and the Avengers still went back and stopped him. So I guess he just can't catch a break.

The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]

He purposefully tried to lure the Avengers to the Old West though.

Because he's an idiot.
