I couldn't agree more with you. This movie gets so much ****, but you have to consider the source material. The comics were never amazingly violent, they were adventure comics. Its a comic about family, and its made for people who read comics, and also geared towards families. Thats the basis to the whole dynamic. Its a family (though not all related (Ben)), and them dealing with their powers, and dealing with each other. But at the same time, very light hearted. Johnny and Ben's dynamic is the prime example. They have the powers to destroy people, physically, but they usually spend time slapping whipped cream on each other's faces while they sleep.

People who expected this movie to be a dark, serious comic book movie, ala' Batman Begins, or (GAG) Spider-Man, were sadly mistaken. But they shouldn't have been.

Hopefully this movie will be good...perhaps there will be a silver surfer spin off film like there was a Silver Surfer spin-off comic?

And hopefully we will see more of Jessica Alba???

Pia Guerra is a she. See picture below.



And Pia Guerra was the voice of Jessica Alba in the cartoon. It says so somewhere in either the creator's comment to the video or in the video itself.

EDIT: After watching the intro of the video again, it says there "Pia Guerra as Jessica Alba", so it's in the video.

Huh, didn't know it was a she. Neat.

And I didn't know if she did any voices because I didnt watch it, I just looked at the artist's comment.

Wow, some some stuff on Newgrounds is actually good...

Ultimate Doom is funny.

This guy's other stuff is great too--you should watch all of them.

"Actually Ultimate Doom and myself don't wear armour. Our skin is made out of metal."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I got a cut on my face and it just spread from there."

"is it an infection?"

"Ew, gross!"

"For me I just tore off my skin and there it was. Oh, and I have goat legs."

The trailer looked really good. I'm looking forward to these sequel because I've always been a huge fan of the Silver Surfer.

Wonder what they'll do with Galactus. CGI, duh, but I mean how will they redesign him?

He will probably look really shiny and angular like a giant machine instead of a giant guy in a costume...I hope.

And what will Doom have to do with any of this at all besides yelling "CURSE YOU, RICHARDS!" ?

He'll crash the wedding. In a tux that looks better than Johnny’s! And he'll eat all the good buffet food and leave every one with those weird little appetizers that nobody eats!

Seriously, he'll probably try to steal the Surfer's power.

If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say Galactus will have the Surfer as his Herald at the beginning, like in the comic books. Then, as the movie's main plot, I imagine the FF trying to stop Galactus from munching away on earth with the Silver Surfer as their ally.That way his origin would be true to the comics and fairly interesting.

Doom will probably be there and do more pointless stuff, like in the first film. I doubt they can give Movie-Doom a decent storyline after they completely wrecked him in the first film.

EDIT: Unless of course they're going a bold new way and show Doom ascending in Latveria or any other obscure country (read: Not the USA, since they're civilized) and they'll pit him against the FF at their second try of the Richards/Storm wedding as a sort of Cliffhanger for a possible third film.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Movieverse Doom is useless.
