The LSH is set in the future; the FF is set in the absolute leading edge of the present.<br />3. Both teams are composed, not of established characters from other comics coming together in a team (like the JLA, JSA, or Avengers), but of characters who were first created to be members of their teams.<br />4. Both teams have struggled for an audience in recent years as society's changing ideas about modernity and the future have led to them being seen, not as cutting-edge and futuristic, but as nostalgic.Matthew Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007497367844755093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-12981948269992036822017-05-24T02:36:52.597-04:002017-05-24T02:36:52.597-04:00Wes - I don't know that it's fair to say t...Wes - I don't know that it's fair to say that they're mining old FF for those concepts. They'd spread well beyond the title into the Marvel universe at large long before usage there.<br />But that makes your point all the more. They don't need to mine the Fantastic Four, the Marvel universe as a whole was largely shaped by them. The Kree, the Skrull, Galactus & the Watchers, the Negative Zone... the basis of their actual 'Universe' hangs on the FF.<br /><br />And, of course, the Black Panther has his highly anticipated movie coming out.<br />Where did he get his start?<br /><br />As you said - petty.<br />So petty, it makes me root for Fox getting their shit together and making a huge franchise just to spite them.<br />(I've got some real good ideas on how to do that, all you Fox execs who stalk this blog)-3-https://www.blogger.com/profile/18201804552651989442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-59231982361702615882017-05-24T01:02:25.271-04:002017-05-24T01:02:25.271-04:00Don't stop "complaining" about it Sn...Don't stop "complaining" about it Snell!<br /><br />I'm glad that someone is speaking out about it. It's just so damn petty.<br /><br />I find it ironic that Marvel shuns them, but certainly doesn't mind mining their rich history for movie ideas.<br /><br />The most blatant examples are the Guardians movies. It cracks me up that GOG uses concepts from FF #64 and 65 - the Kree and Ronan, and GOG2 uses Him/Adam Warlock from #66 & 67!<br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469431838295864538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-24941176877814013642017-05-23T14:38:57.918-04:002017-05-23T14:38:57.918-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168683269565450013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992648596835959526.post-71549371646576855482017-05-23T14:38:51.902-04:002017-05-23T14:38:51.902-04:00I'm curious what you mean, Matthew.
