from the terrible casting of Pedro Pascal as Reed

Looks the part to me.
Reed Richards wasn't Chilean or had a mustache in the comics. I don't mind Pedro Pascal as an actor. I think he's been good in what I've seen him in, but when I think of Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic I do not think of Pedro Pascal.

to the gender swap of The Silver Surfer.

Shalla-Bal is a character in the comics…
I didn't know there was another version let alone a female version of Silver Surfer till after the casting of this movie. Even the actress when she was offered the role thought the Silver Surfer was supposed be a male character. Yet she still took the role. This character is also supposed to be the lover of Norrin Radd aka Silver Surfer. However, in an alternate universe she became Silver Surfer instead. Anyways I'm pretty sure when fans and comic readers think of Silver Surfer Shalla-Bal version doesn't come to mind. Plus Disney/Marvel should've waited another movie before bringing in Galactus and the Silver Surfer anyway.

I doubt this will deliver for me, which is a shame because the previous films from Fox didn't exceed my expectations and fell short to put it nicely.


Mel Gibson isn't Scottish. Russell Crowe isn't Spanish. Pretty sure Banderas isn't Mexican.

Where was the outrage?

I think any of us with siblings would want to be as supportive as Pedro Pascal is of his sister.


Gosh this is such a strong response to this kind of fervor. The age we live in is sinking into such depths of hatred towards others and anger because others aren't like us, that it has amazed me to see that a man who defends their sibling and their personal liberty is considered an enemy. I'm sure we could have a great dinner table conversation about the downfall of decency and respect!

Agree to disagree on the well-chiseled good looks of Pedro Pascal.



I think what a lot of people can be missing in the casting of Pedro Pascal is that Reed Richards is an insanely cool character on the page. He leads a family, he is incredibly smart and cunning and heroic, but he is not infallible. And he has never once been portrayed as cool in these screen adaptations. If Pascal can bring one thing to the role that has been left untapped, it is that Reed Richards deserves to be seen as athe cool character he always has been.

Not sure chiseled is the right word for Pedro's visage. More like hand-sculpted out of Play-Doh.

And I call bs on the "25-year lurker, first-time poster" claim. roll eyes

Looking forward to the movie and even moreso the score.

Right you are, Josh. It was closer to 20. Stumbled upon this place via TrekBBS.

Now I return to my decades-long slumber.

Please don't; stick around!

Well said.

Mel Gibson isn't Scottish. Russell Crowe isn't Spanish. Pretty sure Banderas isn't Mexican.

Precisely. Pedro Pascal is only allowed to play Chilean characters?

yes, correct spot-on still_not, just keep in mind that guy that posted that joined March 22 of this year. The trolls are often fresh here, though we have a small pool of veterans that continue to try

Welcome to the internet.We are all allowed different opinions.However if you are here to troll i would prefer you dont bother.

I have found in my short time here that there are those who make sick insinuations. I dont like Pedro Pascal as an actor,i dont like the fact that he gets plenty of work in hollywood despite his somewhat controversial socialmedia posts (But yet Gina Carano got fired from The Mandalorian for a lot less because she refused to fall in line with the woke agenda).

Pacal cant seem to shut up about politics despite the fact hes just a guy who just dresses up and plays pretend for a living. And seriously,im amazed Joaquin Phoenix didnt punch him in the face during the promotion of their ANTI MAGA movie (Pascal grabbed Phoenix's hand to stop him waving because apparently from his point of view,waving makes you look like Hitler ).

Oh yeah,and the guy is a creep.Just check out that video online of him touching Vanessa Kirby (Which she diplomatically stopped by taking his hand off her arm and holding it instead)

Pedro Pascal is a scumbag.And Marvel is woke.FF4 is screwed.Thats my opinion.Anyone else here is welcome to theirs but dont you DARE call me a Troll when u act that way yourselfs.

Pedro Pascal won the Screen Actors Guild award for his work in The Last of Us. Guess his fellow actors think highly of him. I think he is a fine actor.

You keep using the term "woke" like a big angry boy. roll eyes Or a Proud one.

But to me the movie looks great . I grew up in the 60s and 70s fondly remember buying Kirby & Lee FF comics at the drug store. And I like to enjoy things. This trailer hasn't DeStRoYeD mY yOuTh or anything.

And Marvel is woke.

On this we agree. smile Always has been! (X-Men, anyone?) wink



Star Trek too, buddy!

Or maybe...Pedros Pascal should just shut up and act.

I thought you didn't like his acting though? Seems like you're a whole lot more upset about him vocally defending his trans sibling. Which, you know, people are allowed and encouraged to do no matter what their profession is. That's called being a decent human being and only people like you are making it a political issue.

As for the rest of your post...

Gina Carano got fired from The Mandalorian for a lot less because she refused to fall in line with the woke agenda

Sigh.

What is your definition of "woke"? Carano repeatedly peddled provable lies about the 2020 US election, mocked people who wore masks during COVID, and compared the treatment of conservatives on social media to the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust. Why would Jon Favreau (half-Jewish) want to continue to work with her? But let's be clear – nobody silenced her. Nor did they try to force her to say things she disagreed with. They just chose not to continue to work with her as a character in a show.

I know all this rampant wokeness makes you angry, but truly, what are you upset about here?

Carano shared a social media post about then current events being compared to the holocaust.She did not write them.Not only did she get fired,Disney tried to destroy her career by blacklisting her in hollywood allegedly ( And is currently in the process of taking them to court with Elon Musk backing her up)

Pascal created (Amongst other things) an infamous social media post where he compared Trump voters (In other words,over half the population of the united states) to Nazis. Not fired,and cast in just about EVERYTHING.

And keeping on tpoic about FF4,the actress playing Sue Storm says the movie is going to explore..gender politics. Which means shes going to be the leader (which is obvious from the trailer).Also,the actor who plays Johnny Storm says hes not going to play him as a womaniser because apparently having a straight white male having a healthy interest in the opposite sex is not allowed in modern hollywood.
