how do you write this franchise for 17 years and still not figure out production
That bodes well. 😐
So basically it's going to be a really shitty movie
- I don't understand how fantastic 4 is so well received. It's "meh" at best.
  
  "Meh" is a praise for most of post infinity war Marvel.
Not an expert but that doesn't sound promising.
- Depends what she means by it. It's completely normal for rewrites and reshoots to happen during the filmmaking process, simply because some stuff that works on paper just doesn't translate that well on screen, and sometimes the actors do something on the fly that is better than what was in the script, but that triggers rewrites to accommodate the change.
  If Marvel actually didn't have a completed script before the initial shooting began, that would be potentially worrying, but highly unusual.
- Isn’t this…SOP? Like, that’s one of the reasons James Gunn has specifically said he won’t do a movie unless there’s a finished script?
  I feel like they have basic ideas in place and a majority of the script but like to adapt based on new ideas or problems that they encounter while putting together their movies.
  
  Yeah, Feige talked about it recently.
  At a press event, Feige denied that Marvel had ever started a movie without a full script, but did say he's never been happy with a script or even finished movie. Instead, he said he and Marvel preferred "plus-ing at every turn."
  In fact, there is "plus-ing" occurring on the set of Avengers: Doomsday as we speak.
  "There's plus-ing happening every day on the Avengers: Doomsday set right now, and it is amazing to watch because what those filmmakers, those actors, both the ones that are playing these characters for the first or second time and the one playing them for the 10th or 12th time, are the best in the world at it, and know these characters so well," Feige said (H/T The Hollywood Reporter). "So if they have an idea, you want to listen to it and you want to adjust to it and you want to improve it. I wouldn't want to change that."
  Sounds like a good way to do it to me.
  
  In my uninformed opinion, it's likely a part connecting Act 2 to Act 3 that they aren't totally happy with and are trying to either smooth out or replace.
- When was the last time Marvel Studios did something that sounded promising?
  
  The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)
God damn she was so hot as Mystique
- Still is, honestly.
