I read just today at www.io9.com that Marvel is considering "rebooting" the Fantastic Four franchise. Correct, they are going to re imagine a franchise that has already been re imagined, with failure abound.
Marvel attempted a FF4 film in the early 90s that was so bad, so disastrous, that it is only available in bootleg! After waiting 15 years, and probably hoping that we had forgot: they come along with their "new" FF4 movies. You know the ones, Dr. Doom is a fucking trust fund baby (FAIL!), Galactus is purple mist instead of a light years tall Demi-God (EPIC FAIL!). They did the same thing with The Punisher: made a crap version with Lundregn (sic?) in 1988, rebooted it with Thomas Jane and Battlefield Earth Superstar John Travolta, then rebooted it AGAIN last year.
Here is my request to Marvel (DC has not shit the bed nearly as much so their safe, for now): If your not going to put heart and soul into your films, then stop fucking making them, period. You can reboot some shit 8,000 times, if the people making it don't give a shit, then why should we?
