5 Huge Ramifications Of Fantastic Four Being A Total Disaster

It's official: Fantastic Four is a complete and utter disaster of the Godawful kind. It pulled in a measly $26 million domestically over the course of its opening weekend, losing out to the far superior Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (currently in its second week). Not only is Josh Trank's long-awaited follow-up garnering terrible reviews from pretty much everyone who has had the bad luck to see it, but it is being hailed as one of the most curiously awful superhero movies ever made; a bonafide oddity that begs the question: "How the hell did this thing happen?" Better yet: "Who is responsible?"

What will change now the movie is, plainly, Grimm? Here are five huge potential ramifications of Fantastic Four winding up as a complete and utter screw-up. No matter how you see it, things don't look good for our rebooted heroes...
