Hello Everyone,
We all know that a casting choice can change the tone of the entire film or it can often fall back on the script. It is something that effects the actual character of who they are going to play. It is something that not only effects the actor but everyone who knows the character in well portrayal. Robert Downey Jr has proven successful as Tony Stark towards everyone. Many recent choices have been now have been controversial, from Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man to Jamie Foxx as Electro. Yet also Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as many fans are still bickering about the "height problem". That is why I often say give them a chance and they have done really well. Many of them as such like Andrew Garfield has proven to be a great actor in a troubled script of The Amazing Spider-Man. They have managed to pull through excellently despite a rough start. One think I also mentioned was Jamie Foxx as Electro, changing the skin color of the actual comic book character causes a rage among many people. Idris Elba has proved himself as Heimdall. We have many of those actors starting to make that transition towards comic book films. I would just say if they role does not effect the character greatly or the story too much it would be a nice addition to see a change. You know where this is leading to already. Michael B.Jordan cast as Johnny Storm / The Human Torch in The Fantastic Four reboot. This has gone on too far. The Fantastic Four has been the pinnacle team of Marvel comics. Casting another race is just an example how they want to attract a new group of people. Everyone loves The Fantastic Four for who they are. Just because the comic was established back in harsh times where this hasn't been always present doesn't mean it needs to be in present times. This in terms is a studios own blatant incompetence for the impact The Fantastic Four has already had towards the general audience and fans. Hey why don't I write my own version of Fantastic Four while I am here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fantastic Four consist of four highly mutated individuals. They were born mutants at birth with very special abilities. Grown up together as best friends. They haven't realized the full potential of their own powers yet or what they are capable of. Until one faithful trip chooses their faiths. Reed Richards is testing a new genetic formula and relies on his childhood friends to help him. Both Johnny Storm, Sue Storm, and his other close friend Ben Grimm. Reed Richards with the help of his close lab partner Victor Von Doom who shares affectionate feelings for Reed Richards in the lab and beneath the sheets. Richards unveils his new genetic gun calling it the next step in human evolution. With Doom looking over the experiment, Richards decides to test himself too. They strap themselves to chairs and are put to sleep. They wake up from the sudden procedure in a hospital. Only one of them wakes up, Reed Richards who soon finds out all his friends are dead. So he meets up with Victor Von Doom and they decide to plan a wedding.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This just sums it up plain and clearly. Fantastic Four? More like Fantastic Farce now. The direct relation between the characters have been the major consistency and this is just directly taking away from everything Johnny Storm and Sue Storm not being related. It is just taking away their direct relationship as wonderfully portrayed in the comics and turning it into a product of media today. Studios shouldn't do this nor the director, this is just incompetent...
And now for my real opinions...
.....That is what everyone would say, which is why I say give him a chance as The Human Torch. Give him a chance. If he is a good actor just him a chance to play one of the greatest roles in Marvel character history. I don't see anything wrong with it myself. I believe Josh Trank can turn this whole film into a work of art. It would be a different Marvel film which I also truly support a new choice. This editorial was everyone's own opinion on the subject, I frankly myself approve of this casting choice and I can not wait to see what they have in store next for us.
