The folks in Hollywood have no friggin' clue when it comes to
superheroes and films - which is kinda surprising given the number of
self-admitted comic book geeks who are there.

It's just sad. The Fantastic Four deserves better treatment than what
is currently being thrown their way. And I don't much care for the
animated series (done Manga-style) that is currently airing on the
Cartoon Network, either.

Gahhh! There should be a special ring of Hell just for Joe Quesada
and Brian Michael Bendis for commiting that travesty. If only the
Scarlet Witch could throw a nasty hex their way - that'd fix 'em! And
it would be more satisfying than having her be responsible for the de-
mutantization of 90 percent of the mutant population.

I'm not much of an Iron Man, either, especially now, as Todd points
out, they've made him into such an asshole lately. However, I might
be interested in the movie depending on what they do with the
character. I think they've lined up Robert Downey, Jr., to play Tony
Stark. If that's the case then, at least, it would be an interesting
****trayal by a gifted actor (which certainly did not happen in the
case of the Invisible Woman - Arrrggghhh!).
