Is It Too Late for the Sequel to Fox's 2015 Fantastic FLOP?

"Everything I've heard would indicate that the studio will move forward with a 'Fantastic Four' sequel. It may not make that original 2017 date, but they're definitely planning to make it." Uh, hate to break it to ya, Mr. Chris Aronson, but isn't it a little late for an UNFantastic Four sequel to this year's reboot that sadly FLOPPED -- both critically AND financially!? Why immediately make a sequel to a movie that is already about to have a $60 million write-off? That's like making a sequel to either Disney's John Carter ($284 m on a $250 m budget) or Warner Bros.' Battlefield Earth ($29.7 m on a $73 m budget), both of which are huge critical/box office failures! I mean, come on! While the movie is simply bad because of the behind-the-scenes fiasco and how director Josh Trank feels toward his experience filming it, it still doesn't change how unimpressed I am with his vision of the dark and gloomy take on "Marvel's First Family" that deserves a much better movie treatment (the only proper FF movie for me is Disney/Pixar's Oscar-winning animated film The Incredibles) after the total disappointment that is 2007's FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Even if Fox believes that they are "forever committed" to the Fantastic Four lore, too bad it's gonna suffer the same fate as Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did (hence why we're no longer getting an Amazing Spider-Man 3 as planned). I'm sorry, but there is no "second chance" to develop another mediocre "Fantastic" Four movie even with "lessons learned" from such an awful attempt with a rehashable dark and gritty concept for most particular reboots. Neither is there any possibility that the yet-to-be-made/not made sequel will "redeem" the FF image. Don't see how you have any better ideas to retain the FF franchise as long as they have with X-Men. You can try something like putting the Fantastic Four in one of the X-Men movies like you've always wanted, but it's still uncertain if it's really gonna change our minds about how we feel towards the superheroes that can stretch, turn invisible, create fire, and clobbering stuff. That's why I signed in the petition to hopefully get you Fox studio execs through your thick skulls to just GIVE THE FANTASTIC FOUR BACK TO MARVEL already! And you had better hurry and reconsider the June 9th, 2017 date that you somehow made for the sequel BEFORE the 2015 movie even came out, because it will surely get clobbered (literally) at the box office big time by the likes of Star Wars: Episode VIII, Wonder Woman, Toy Story 4, and World War Z 2! But I will gladly wait for the Deadpool sequel ('pends if the 1st is a hit next February) to achieve that date!
