:lol Thankya, thankyaverymuch!
Actually, IIII has been an alternate to IV since Roman times. Putting "IV" on a sundial or clock face made people squirmy since they were the first two letters of Jupiter's name, and not something you were supposed to write. Much like how the Japanese words for "four" and "death" are pronounced the same, despite being different characters, and so a lot of the time they'll use a different word for four in its place so as to not invoke death. Yay superstition.Does the person making this understand how Roman numerals work? IIII is not 4, if that's their intent.
The core issue is that Warner Brothers, Fox, and Sony don't seem to "get" the characters they're dealing with, and aren't able to adapt them effectively. They don't seem to love them, either, nor be willing to let them stand on their own. I think that what the Marvel films understand is that these characters resonate with people for a reason, and that reason goes beyond merely the "They're so cool/badass!" thing.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the First Class and Days of Future Past films, so who knows. Likewise, when the first X-Men film came out, I thought it'd be garbage, and ended up loving it. I'm not above admitting I'm wrong, but I think everyone can agree that the non-Marvel films have...a spotty record at best.
That's one of the things about the X-verse movies that bothers me to this day -- they are so hit and miss on this point. They nailed Magneto and Wolverine and Xavier and Beast. I was pleasantly surprised by Iceman, and they eventually sorted out Shadowcat okay (even if I still wish they'd cast someone who looked a bit more Jewish -- it's a big part of who the character is)... But they utterly dropped the ball on Deadpool and Sabretooth and Gambit and Cyclops and Storm and Jean Grey and Angel. Of course, they utterly borked the third X-Men film.--Jonah
After seeing that trailer, I wanted to crawl back in my bed and cry. I watched it with an open mind but saw NOTHING in it that said Fantastic Four. The FF is not a dark film like Batman, it's the light like Superman. I hope this tanks because this is a property Fox needs to give back to Marvel. The only property they seem to be doing well with is the X-Men. The end felt like watching the Halo 3 trailer....And another thing...Why is the logo a square instead of a circle?
Well now that F4 has been rebooted and X-Men is a well oiled machine, I guess it's time for Fox to look at expansion and start work on Alpha Flight!

Trank's "visual style"? He's directed one movie that we've seen.
