he recent Change.com petition to urge the Marvel leadership and
Disney to take possession of the movie rights to the Fantastic Four from
20th Century Fox and thus make it a full member of the MCU is another
act of opposition by the majority of fans out there against the 2015
remake movie, yet another action that has worsened the divisions within
the Marvel and Fantastic Four fandoms since the new FF movie was
announced. And thus, as a fan and supporter of this new take on the
First Family of Marvel I therefore ask all of you fellow fans of this
reboot movie all over the world to join me in condemning this online
petition.
To all who have signed this be ashamed of the
fans and sympathizers of the new Fantastic Four movie and its cast -
Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell - and its crew
too. They waited 7 years for this to happen only to be met with severe
criticism and bad reviews. Please leave us fans and supporters of the
new film in peace and stop any form of opposition to the new FF movie,
and thus we ask you to please watch this instead in cinemas!
I
therefore will not sign this petition and no matter what will happen
and no matter what the cost I stand with the new faces of the Fantastic
Four. I hope all the fans and sympathizers of the new movie will, like
myself, surely stand up against the opposition to the new movie and
together with these 4 young actors whose faith and trust to movie fans
are being tested at this tough time!
We will never lose our faith in them for they are the hope of our tomorrow!
LONG LIVE THE NEW FANTASTIC FOUR!

To all those who have sent hate and have attacked with fierce language and bad reviews the new Fantastic Four movie, its cast (Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell) and its fans and supporters
(My first Blogger post in several months? hope I;m doing my best one day to bring some of my Tumblr posts here.)
(This post was inspired by this online article: http://www.filmoria.co.uk/2015/08/sunday-scene-keep-fantastic-four-away-mcu/)
I write this post before all of you in a symbolic condemnation of what you all have done to us fans of the new Fantastic Four movie.
You all know too well (but a few of you cannot accept) that the F4/FF movie series, based on the comic works produced by Marvel since 1961, has been the responsibility of 20th Century Fox since it took over the production rights from its former holders, and thus is not a Marvel production. But you all have acted in defiance of this new movie and have demanded that the Walt Disney group, in which Marvel is a part of, take over the franchise movies at once and start over again, given its poor showings in its US debut plus the recent comments from its director, Josh Trank, given what the 20th Century Fox leadership and management did to his vision for the franchise.
Some of you have started to distrust the new movie at the moment the new cast was announced - making this the first ever superhero movie with an African-American as a lead hero and cast member. And because of this, even in the days before and after the US premiere, several of you have opposed it because of Michael B. Jordan being the new Human Torch.
Some of you have boycotted it due to its poor reception.
Many of you have voiced your dissent, anger and opposition after watching this movie in cinemas.
Many of you have turned your backs on this and have called the 2005-07 movie series, staring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis as the only F4/FF movies they would love to watch and them as the only true faces of Marvel’s First Family, because of their likeness being similar to the original comic series. A few of you have also stated the superiority of the 1994 “placeholder” and unreleased movie over this reboot.
And many of you have put on the bad reviews given to this movie as the reason for you to agitate that Fox be stripped away from making any FF/F4 movies and that Marvel and Disney handle them while bringing them back in full faithfullness to the original comics, despite the fact that the reboot is based upon the issues of the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic series (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Fantastic_Four for more info) as well as from the original series and the various others that came after them as proved by the many references to them in the 2015 reboot movie (see http://www.denofgeek.us/books-comics/fantastic-four/248247/fantastic-four-movie-marvel-universe-easter-eggs-and-comic-references-guide & http://whatculture.com/film/fantastic-four-17-easter-eggs-in-jokes-and-references-you-need-to-see.php).
But to many of us who have watched this movie like me (and the few of us who have watched the original movies before), we will always support the future of the F4/FF in film, no matter what would happen, either if Marvel takes over or Fox stands its ground pending international results from overseas showings. We will be always be standing our ground with the new cast - Miles Teller (Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara (Susan “Sue” Storm, The Invisible Woman). Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm, The Human Torch) and Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm, The Thing) - as the new face of the First Family of Marvel - the Fantastic Four. No matter what, this movie and its cast will be the current face of the FF/F4 for years and decades to come. We will put our trust and hearts to them and the Fantastic Four franchise in comics, television and film.
So to all of you and the critics who have attacked the new movie, its cast and crew and us its fans and supporters in the United States and all over the world:
May I tell you right now from the bottom of my heart on behalf of all those who have waited 7 years for this and have stood behind the cast and crew and this movie as a whole against all you have been doing against it and us:
Stop whatever attacks, criticisms and opposition to the reboot of the Fantastic Four! Will you not realize that the change we have all been waiting has finally come in the form of the new FF/F4 movie we all waited for?
Will you stop doing anything negative that would result in the poor showing of this film?
Leave us then, the fans and supporters of the new Fantastic Four movie, its cast and crew, in peace, and we urge you to watch it at once and repent of all you have done wrong!
I urge you to stop the things you all have brought damage upon this new movie. You all that attacked the movie and its fans negatively must be ashamed of what you have done and the opinions and words you have brought upon us fans who saw this new movie of the Fantastic Four!
The new FF cast deserves even better than this and we will make sure it is ready enough for a sequel in several years, even outlasting Rise of the Silver Surfer. We will convince others to watch this movie and see it in a positive light and make sure to support the future of this franchise.
Please accept this new movie and the new faces of the Fantastic Four. And then you will surely known that the change that we all have persevered and anticipated for 7 long years has finally come to our world.
And may I summarize what I have written earlier, the new Fantastic Four has come and no one, not even you who have opposed it, can stop them in their tracks!
No matter what may happen, this movie and the cast will be the Fantastic Four we had have come to know and watched for generations to come!
