Fantastic Four 2? Wasn't 1 bad enough?

 

I can't believe they are seriously considering an Ant-Man movie.

It sounds like he's going to make a funny cameo at some other movie (probably the abovementioned FF2) and then they'll see if he's popular enough for a movie. Like... Elektra?

 

I don't know how they determined an "Elektra" movie would be lucrative based on "Daredevil". Still, if history reapeats itself, we're looking at a lot more bad movies.

 

....

Especially since Voltron and He-Man are becoming live action films soon as well, I doubt Nick Fury could be any worse than the Hasslehoff version.

 

Live HE-MAN???? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Fuck, that's hilarious! I'd pay to see that just so I could do a 'Mystery Science Theatre' on it with my friends!

 

I hear the storyline is going to involve Adam becoming addicted to Steroids and beating the Sorceress for trying to take away his sword.

 

Totally gonna end up a full length porno with interspersed fight scenes. Highly SFXed fight scenes.

 

Good enough for me. At least that's different from the pizza guy who delivers an order to a lonely horny female.

 

Pizza guy turns into an unstoppable force of good and delivers justice to the captors of a lonely horny female.

 

You die now. *uses the Flamethrower spell to incinerate Vorak.*

You're lucky I'm a sucker for bad jokes.
