They switched it to them going to another dimension. They probably figured that a green landscape would be more alien and jarring than a red one. People read so much into these things, I swear.

Same as people I've seen comment, "Well...how can they be brother and sister if he's black, huh!?" Are there that many morons who have never heard of adoption?

I mean, yeah, that's a pretty noticeable colour palette change between trailers and the "alien landscape" is a pretty good explanation, but how hard would it be to figure out adoption?

I am in! Also, way to go edgy hipster, "Ohh, it's all computer, thus jus Avaaatar."

We get it bro, you're the coolest. WHY ARE YOU EVEN THERE THEN?

Honestly, my issue with it is that they decided they wanted to make the human torch black. Fine, whatever. I don't think he was defined by his being white. But then to make the invisible woman white comes across as "well, we can do one black main character, but two? That'd be ridiculous!"

It does kind of resemble one of the game's cutscenes, so it would make more sense to me at least to just go full-animated instead of have live-action humans.

That trailer was more of a preview of the opening. I'd need to see a trailer that gets more into what's going on in the movie before knowing if I was on-board.

It was easier for me to believe Torch and Thing got their abilities from a more igneous environment rather than green land, I guess.

Tony Todd and Clancy Brown as voices though made giggle on the inside like a gleeful schoolchild.

I guess Gul'Dan wasn't Tony Todd, but Daniel Wu, who sounds exactly like Tony Todd apparently, because that was the Toniest Todd bit of voice acting I've ever heard.

I have hardly any knowledge of the FF outside of Lego games, but I will say this: whoever is in charge of the CGI needs to put some goddamned pants on the Thing. When your character's name is also a second-grade euphemism for penis, you don't leave him hanging out.

Yeah, that led to some...unfortunate results when I was trying to Google him.

Actually that's an ultimate universe origin.

Of course the Ultimate FF comics actually implied Reed's teleporter thing mistakenly put them back together using data from another universe, where they had the powers already... that was pretty clever.

Which they might still do, who knows.

Why does Eren's mom look the same age as Eren? Are they going to offer a movie origin, since they opened the big question in the trailer?

Still doesn't look german enough.

This was sort of my issue with it too. The anime is set in Europe, with everyone (except Mikasa for obvious reasons) being pretty German or Scandinavian. So when they wanted to make a movie, they had a few options...

- Take that concept and transfer it into Japan, implying more than one city survived the Titans. This is fine, you get a whole new cast and new characters and can do a side-story. It could have been fine and if the movie was good, you could actually do a manga and make it officially part of the same universe.
- Hire some Western actors, change some other characters into Japanese (Maybe Mikasa wasn't the only one who survived?), and make it work.

Instead they have an entire cast of Japanese actors pretending to be German people, in Germany, with German names. It just... it's like they didn't even want to TRY and have it make sense.

Now I don't know if I should read the manga, watch the anime, or see the movie first.
Ah, who am I kidding, I probably won't do any of these things.

You're more likely to have a black lead in a hollywood summer blockbuster than Japan making a moving starring a bunch of Gaijin.

We've HAD black leads in Hollywood summer blockbusters. For instance, Men in Black made 589 million dollars and I'm betting a lot of that was because of Will Smith. Or how about Samuel L. Jackson in The Avengers or Captain America: The Winter Soldier? It happens, but it's just hard to get it to happen MORE when Producers think Black Actoes ruin International take.

I said it was more likely. Our country actually has racial diversity.

I also want to point out that calling SLJ a lead in the Marvel movies is a bit of a stretch.

I wouldn't call Sam Jackson a lead in the Marvel films, but a more accurate comparison might be an Asian lead in a Hollywood blockbuster?
