are cunts.
Well now, here’s something that you don’t see every day! Hollywood’s got a new superhero film coming out, and I’m sure that like me, you can’t wait for it to hit the big screen.
Put your hands together for ‘Fantastic Four; First Steps’, as we get yet another re-boot of, er, a re-boot. And with stunning originality, the plot focuses around the arrival of (cue growling synthesisers, roiling cloud effects) some alien cunt called Galactus, who for some reason wants to destroy the world. Again. As you do. Time for our heroes to step up once more and save the planet…
If the trailer’s anything to go by, this effort looks like a tacky, formulaic, and very tired final bid to save the franchise. Trouble is, we’ve been there and done that already, and we’ve all got the t-shirt. Oh, and purists will no doubt be outraged to note that in true Hollywoke style, the villain’s henchman, the Silver Surfer, has had his tackle nipped and is now female. They just can’t help themselves.
Well who knows at this moment if this will be a hit or a flop, but my guess is the latter. Superhero fatigue has set in good and proper I’d say, not to mention the fact that there seems to be something of a disenchantment in general these days where Hollywoke product is concerned. One thing I can predict with complete accuracy is that my hand won’t be going into my pocket to watch this. Enough already with the trailer.
Hollywood to me now seems utterly stale and stagnant, obsessed with re-boots, live action remakes and sequels, and full of virtue-signalling tossers who feel compelled to push agendas at the expense of the entertainment that Joe Public craves. Sadly I fear that the Fantastic Four will be one more nail in the coffin. Hollywood; the place where originality and creativity now go to die.
