10 Previous Mistakes To Avoid In The Fantastic Four Reboot
5. We Need A Bigger And Better Thing
As good as Michael Chiklis was under all those prosthetics in Tim Storys anaemic offerings (and he worked his rocky orange socks off to bring the essential melancholy of the part to life), a man in a rubber suit just wont cut it in post-Avengers Hollywood. Weve seen the Hulk in three movies now. While admittedly Ang Lees take on the comic book phenomenon was a patronising snore of a film, the CGI Hulk was a terrifying force of nature, and a revelation to people whod grown up with the television version of two decades earlier (bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno in a fright wig and green body paint). Even the smaller version in The Incredible Hulk was a total badass. The Avengers cemented Mark Ruffalos Bruce Banner and accompanying enormous green rage-monster as the definitive big screen Hulk. The Thing is supposed to be able to go toe-to-toe with everyones favourite the emerald giant, although that perennial rights issue means its basically never going to happen moreover though, hes supposed to be able to look like he could. Fundamentally, we need a giant-sized Thing. Sorry, but that joke was pretty much inevitable. Its amazing weve been able to hold off for this long, to be honest.
