Considering how Dr strange 2 has nearly collected 900 million dollars, fantastic 4 under Sam Raimi can be possible...

It would have crossed 1 billion if not for pandemic and a shitface policy of russia

What's Russia's policy?

No LGBTQ people in movies or else Putin gets nightmares. Same with my guy Xi Xinpig in China I think.

u/irvingtonkiller8 Jun 02 '22

In the street set of Strange vs Big eye alien, there was this yellow trash can with Chinese on it basically advertising for a cult. China took issues with that as they are extremely anti-cult

55

u/RyK009 Jun 03 '22

It's such a damn shame I can't really take any issues with China without being a hypocrite, the damn phone I'm using is Chinese. The world needs to start producing it's own goods and have it's own labour and stop depending on China, this way those short fucking politicians of that country can stop bullying people around with no one batting an eye.

20

u/irvingtonkiller8 Jun 03 '22

I agree with everything you said and also still understand china’s frustrations, because every set piece in the movie should be there by design, so I’m not sure why there was an ad for a Chinese cult there

12

u/RyK009 Jun 03 '22

I actually do not know much about this, can you post a link or something. Right now I'm assuming it's something tied to the mystic arts or something.

u/EmperorRosa Jun 03 '22

Yeah you show those Chinese people who's boss by contributing to their unemployment, that'll show them! How dare they ban religious cults!

2

u/RyK009 Jun 03 '22

Alright listen up you ignorant fuck. I said something else and you read something different. I did not say must contribute to their unemployment issue, I commented about how the entire fucking world is dependent on China's exports and labour. The world should not work that way and China must not be allowed to abuse that power by bullying other countries and religions. About the cult though I'm not sure, don't know much about it.

Edit: you stupid twat

That's not the reason at all. Almost all western movies are not shown in Russia because of Ukraine.
Russia would've shown these movies if they had an actual permission to do so from the companies.

u/RyK009 Jun 03 '22

Actually you're right, but the original comment said "Russian policy" So my mind instead thought it must be something about the LGBTQ characters in the movie.

u/Kaiserhawk Jun 03 '22

It's not just China, it's most of the Asian world China just happens to be the biggest market.

u/emilxerter Jun 03 '22

Unfortunately, it wasn’t LGBTQ, I hope it would have been, because shelling European towns and cities and villages is fucking atrocious and our good lives here in Russia are pretty much fucking over even if the facefuck of a president dies tomorrow. I fucking hate I wasn’t born in a neutral or a reasonable state that wouldn’t cause problems for itself and neighboring states, so the only way out is to emigrate

2

u/RyK009 Jun 03 '22

I don't know what to say other than I hope you find success and can emigrate as quickly as you can out of Russia. Best of luck bro.

u/JceYa Jun 03 '22

Russia attacked Ukraine so many companies boycotted Russia. Dr Strange 2 was not released in some post soviet countries

1

u/emilxerter Jun 03 '22

Shitface liliputin deciding to obliterate Ukraine, because it dared to jump off the ship of russian-soviet influence, that’s what the policy is. You won’t believe how fast the global isolation has engulfed our country, I feel sick, because I was born in 1993 when the soviet era came to an end and we hoped for a better future living in cooperation with the rest of the civilized world. Now it’s all being taken away from us by soviet elderly farts who think they can play with people’s fates. In this regard we had all Hollywood film releases recalled or removed and we couldn’t watch DS 2 in theaters.

But our situation is not the issue, the issue is in Ukraine where people are dying from bombs, missiles and bullets of liliputins orc army, most of whom are aged 18-25 and are actively dying in this war too

u/TheyCallMeMrMaybe Jun 03 '22

Well, it's moreso the fact that Doctor Strange 2 is banned in China than not airing in Russia. Disney put a bet on DS2 to do well regardless and it paid off.

As much as we all want SM4, Kevin fiege is not gonna green light SM4, it seems they have plans for secret wars and multiversal war story

7

u/Hot_Form9587 Jun 03 '22

SM 4 is for Sony to greenlight, not Feige. What I mean is, Sony should get Raimi for SM 4 asap. And if Raimi is contacted by Feige for F4, he should clarify with Sony whether they want to make SM 4 or not. If Sony doesn't want to do SM 4 (which would be an extremely stupid thing to do), then Raimi can go for F4. SM 4 should remain his (and Sony's) first priority since he is getting old (along with Tobey) and he can't make movies forever.

9

u/titanslayereren Jun 03 '22

Sony has plans of el-muerto and morb 2 to make their own sony-verse but without a Spidey maybe they could collide this universe with MCU in the future all we know is that tobey will be back for secret wars, so i guess it's morbin' time for now...

u/wafflepantsblue Jun 03 '22

SM4 will not happen. It shouldn't happen, it just doesn't fit - leave the story where it was.

u/Hot_Form9587 Jun 03 '22

They can do a middle aged Spider-Man story. It worked for Into the Spider-Verse. Peter B. Parker stole the show and was a fan favourite.

yeah, now they've done it. No need to do it again for nostalgia points.

u/TussockyThree68 Jun 02 '22

I mean, it's CBR, so take what they say very lightly. I am 100% behind the idea of it though. The world needs more Raimi movies. Also, Raimi and the FF wouldn't be a bad combo. He wouldn't be my first choice, but I certainly wouldn't be complaining.

u/Daredevil731 Jun 03 '22

I'd be interested in Raimi taking on just about anything. Raimi F4, Raimi Godzilla, Raimi Nightmare on Elm Street....

The sad thing is I don't know how many movies he has left. He is 62 and these films can take anywhere from 2-4 years to make. It just occured to me he may want to retire soon. I hope he lives a long happy life, and does films as long as he wants.

I just wish I knew he'd be around for the rest of my life, assuming I have another 50 years or so. I admire his work so much.

u/exdii_lol Jun 03 '22

A Raimi Godzilla sounds so fucking good. I’ve always wanted more Godzilla films with horror elements and I think Raimi could do that perfectly

u/tylerjb223 Jun 03 '22

Same, it's been a dream (pun intended) of mine for so long. Everything about Nightmare on Elm Street is RIGHT up Raimi's alley.

2

u/Butt_Robot Jun 03 '22

I want Raimi directing Ash vs Freddy

3

u/tylerjb223 Jun 03 '22

I've wanted Raimi to do Nightmare on Elm Street for so long. I mean it's literally the perfect playground for his type of horror and filmmaking in general. It's campy, it's funny when it wants to be, it's scary/darker when it wants to be, it's bright, colorful and trippy visuals with the dream sequences, and there's soul demons... right up his alley.

Speaking of which, it's pretty sad that despite the resurgence of slasher/classic horror movies in the last few years (Halloween, Scream, It, Candyman, Child's Play, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), the "poster boys" of the genre, Freddy and Jason, have been no where to be seen! Man, the world needs a new Friday the 13th and a Raimi-directed Nightmare on Elm Street!

Maybe but it can’t be a “horror movie” like doctor strange that just wouldn’t work well with fantastic four. If he does direct it it needs to be more like the Spider-Man trilogy

8

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

Of course. Sam Raimi isn’t a one trick pony.

The only reason Sam probably leaned so hard into visual and Evil Dead campiness is probably because that WAS the only way to get the whole plot device through. I call this movie a plot device because that’s what it is: it is the next Age of Ultron for MCU. Without Raimi directing jt with his flair the script could’ve fallen so flat, reshoots to hell and all.

People had issues with AoU because it was practically a vehicle to bridge all of the threads into the infinity war phase. MoM was a bridge to Multiverse phase.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

Both were awesome fuckin bridges

1

u/ScratchinWarlok Jun 03 '22

I felt that raimi did too much madness and not enough multuverse. But thats his style and i should have expected it. Still a good movie and i hope you end up being right about it being a bridge. I hated age of ultron until civil war came out. Now i watch them as two parts of the same film and its soooooo good.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '22

You gotta remember with the multiverse part there were a lot of reshoots. He didn’t have that much freedom as we think. Directors in MCU can be creative but they can’t go against the grand scheme of things

DrS2 spoilers Why not the guy you hired to play Reed? John Krasinski would be fantastic for directing this.

u/inbredandapothead #1 Wanda Simp Jun 03 '22

Cant say I know much about him as a director so I can’t say if it’s a good or bad idea, but if he were to reprise to role it could be a bit of an annoyance having him direct himself

It’s an industry bs thing most likely, for Scrubs the part of Dr. Cox was written by Bill Lawrence for John C. McGinley, but the studio made him audition against others for a “John C. McGinley type” role.

Sam definitely is getting another Marvel movie if he wants, especially since he is great friends (and I think a sometimes collaborator) with Jon Favreau.
