Fantastic Four Movie Sucks, therefore Voicetesting...

Hmmmmm, firstly I might question the tone of your natural bias towards that most recent feature and adaption of our origins-

Hey Reed, if the guy didn't like it, he didn't like it. Man's gotta have an opinion on this sorta situation, imagine how I feel about what they did to us.

I dunno, I still thought I came off as cool, probably the best of all of us. Race cars, handling my powers... dad wasn't quite that jerky about us though. Sis?

Ugh, I don't want to talk about how they handled me, I wasn't even involved in the excursion! That apparent version of me, she only got powers by happenchance!

But they were doing it unauthorised, Susan darling, and evidently that specific incarnation of yourself should likely have not taken an, ah, drunken and irritable Victor to heart.

Ha! Drunken Victor! The real Doom must be seriously ticked about now.

Yeah, it does feel kinda weird to see us takin' so long to get t'gether and actually deal with the guy, weird metal mind powers or not.

Regardless, I think this application of utilising using this format collectively might prove complex for regular interaction here if we are to continue doing so. But that being said, we could do some real good work here. So I must admire your ultimate goals, even if they are arising from a impulsive stand point.

What Reed is trying to say, Mr... erm, Mun, is that we're happy to be here and do what we can. We'll try to make sure our voice feel distinct enough, right Ben and Johnny?

No problems with me Suzie, 'sides the kid has some past experience with playin' my beautiful blue eyed self, It'll be a cake walk fer me!

I dunno, there gonna be a lot of beautiful women on here?

Johnny!

What?! It's a valid question! Ugh, fine, I'll behave. Flame on and so forth.

Excellent. And whatever faults that latest adaption of our story had, I think it had one valid element - it knew that we're special on our own, but as a family, we can do anything.

Anything, sweetie.

Yeh said it, Reed.

...but seriously, women too... And you're totally right, Reed. Family.

(Playtesting the Fantastic Four as a single journal, hopefully should get their individual voices down over time better. If you want to speak to specific members on here just say! Likely won't use fonts when they talk normally.)

And who knows, maybe since it went this badly for them, Fox will hand the rights back over to Marvel. Always been kind of disappointing to know none of the movie versions of me will ever get to run into all of you.

Except Johnny. You I could take or leave.

[He kids, Johnny.}

Heh, as if you could get rid of me, Petey. It's pretty bad though, I mean that version of me ain't too bad but... yeah, joining the big guys like you seem to have managed would be whatmy guy would prefer too, looks like.

Yeeesh, but that version of me looks worse than the time I got all spikey.

And why the heck wasn't he wearing any pants?

Hmph. It doesn't look like they managed to get any of us right, Ben. Even if I believe they're supposed to be based on those younger 'ultimate' versions of us.

And that is rather disturbing. Though it seems like they spent half the time applying some appalling blonde wig to my character.

Sheesh, that's awful, Suzie.

And I thought the movie Namor made about us was bad.

Oh, I had worse. I don't want to repeat what that petty director considered me to be.

[She smiles at the memory.] Namor in his more personal days. I suppose we were rather hard for cash at the time.

Yeah, we was pretty broke then...

Wonder why it's so hard ta make a good movie about us?

Probably because those directors care more about the dollar signs than any accurate depiction of what we're like, Ben. We're hardly Batman after all, so we hero can't all be so apprently dark and gritty. My mun seems pretty certain those Incredible family is the closest anyone's gotten to what we really are.

I'm just annoyed that you guys keep getting younger and younger in the movies. I'm never gonna get a movie about me! I bet even if they did make a Power Pack movie, they wouldn't put me in it. Hmph.

Yeah, seems like my guy thinks the same way. Yeh and Val are as much a part of our family as we are, kiddo. Havin' a movie without you guys makes me pretty glum. Hopefully someone will notice how awesome ya are. And the rest of the Foundation types.

...maybe Bentley at a stretch.

Val and Bentley can be the Q to me and Leech's James Bond! Okay, technically Leech already got a movie, but he wasn't even green in that so I don't think it counts.

...I hope they realise eventually, Uncle Ben. Even if we're just little kids in it, that'd be okay.

Double 0 Franklin, huh? Guess I can see ya making off with all the fancy gadgets Reed and Suzie make. And yeah, that Last Stand was probably more Custer than Rorke. See, your big old Uncle Ben knows his history books.

My guy had some idea abour taking what's been goin' on with us lately with old yeh and Val time travellin' to before yeh are born and helpin us out. Best of two worlds or somethin'.

Whoa, that totally works! Future Me and his awesome beard and Future Val, we'll save the day.

(My mun actually thought a different Future Me shoulda been in Days of Future Past, with someone called Rachel, buuut I'm kinda glad I wasn't cause I don't think it ends well for me. Nuh uh, I gotta win some fights first!)

Of course sweetie, we know you and Val would be wonderful if you helped us out, just as long as you avoided any particular temporal paradoxes.

(And you mun is clearly a bright spark because mine would have loved that idea, and hopes the Future Foundation happens at some point in movies.)

Well... I think Mr Franklin knows how to avoid temporal whatsits. And if he doesn't, Val totally does! So I guess we're kind of a team.

(Mun's still hoping Marvel gets back stuff.)

He should do, he is you after all honey, and I've always known you'll be amazing when you're older, just as you are now. Same goes for Valeria.

(And yes, yes very much.)

[cracks his knuckles with a smirk]

Now it's a party.

[Way to make friends, Hulk.]

[Oh dear, not a good idea, and of course Johnny's going to light the offered fuse.]

Hulk?! Ok greenskin, you want to tackle us you'll regret it! FLAME ON!

Orrrrrr we could try to handle this with a little property damage as possible, Johnny. I don't know, is that our Hulk Reed?

Some similarities but I'm not certain, but it would be wise to try the diplomatic way first.

Something tells me the big mean green machine ain't in a talkin' mood, Reed.

[Hulk seems decidedly unimpressed by the display of fire.] You lookin' to get blown out, kid? [Cause he is always ready for a fight.]

...shut up.

[Strangely, the retort isn't meant for them, it's for the suddenly vocal scientist on his head going that's Reed Richards! and trying to rein in a fight he will regret having his alter ego start. Unfortunate that Hulk was never good at diplomacy and he really didn't care what Bruce thought.]

Y'guys don't scare me. [He growls back.] In your dumb matchy outfits.

[Johnny tries to look defensive, especially on being called a kid, but the big blue eyed rock guy steps in front of Johnny and frowns at Hulk.]

We ain't here to scare yeh, greeny, but yeh start callin' the Fantastic Four dumb and you're just askin' for problems, gamma rays or not.

Seriously, Ben, Johnny, don't be stupid! Reed?

I think I have this, Susan. Hulk, whatever you might think of us we're not your enemy. [Reed wants to try to communicate with Banner too, and some of that wish might be mirrored in his eyes, but Reed knows Hulk might react badly to that name.] We're heroes, just like you.

[This Banner unfortunately has an agreement with the Hulk. Hulk plays nice and he gets to stay out. Indefinitely. But sometimes, he changes back without meaning to, it's just difficult to get him to that place. Usually Hawkeye making him laugh works well.]

[He clenches his fists with a growl. Yelling his distain for being lumped together with them.] HULK IS NOT A HERO!

[ooc: mun thinks you guys are fantastic! :D]

[ooc: Aw thanks, I figured putting them all in one journal since they're kind of inseparable made sense, and I needed to wash off the bad movie stink. Hope I've have each voice down. Your Hulk is awesome, makes me wish Netflix UK had EMH on demand already.]

[Darn it, not the reaction Reed and the rest were hoping for. Sensing that a polite woman's touch is needed more than whatever the roughhouse boys try, Susan inwardly sighs, smiles politely and steps towards Hulk.]

No Hulk, you're not quite like us, but you're still a good person, right. And like Reed said, we don't want to attack you. We're friends. So why don't we relax?

Easy Suzie...

It's alright, we're just talking, aren't we Hulk?

[ooc: agreed, they play off each other well like that. And I would love EMH for the theme song alone, lemme tell ya. :)]

[Say what you wanted about Hulk, he was not one to go around hitting girls. Not till they hit him first anyway. So instead of a fist, he throws her a glare. One that says he doesn't believe her for a minute.]

Hulk don't have friends. [Read as: Hulk doesn't try to make friends is more like it. That and people usually feel more like shooting at him than talking. Must be his way with words. And stunning lack of grammar.]

[Whilst Ben and Johnny could be impulsive, Susan liked the chance to give Hulk a chance first, especially given she could defend herself if needed. At the glare he simply maintains the polite smile.]

Of course you do, you do such decent things, you must know people value you for that Hulk, just like they value us. I know people can be cruel or violent, but know when we do act that way it's not because we hate you. We want to help you. Does that make sense?

[It almost looks like for a second, Hulk might just rethink that no-hitting-girls policy. But instead of punch at that ridiculous set of sentiments handed him, he snickers. And then outright laughs. Honestly, she expect him to believe all of that?? It was pretty laughable.

Mid-guffaw, he starts shrinking back down to size, leaving a quivering laughing Bruce Banner. Shirtless and not a mark on him in the way of injury.]

J-just...give me a moment... [He puts up a hand, doubled over, trying to get a grip on his mental state. Taking a few breaths as he manages to get his bearings.] ...sorry about that. He hasn't let me out in weeks.

[Well it's not quite what Susan was expecting, in fact the snicker and laughter from Hulk surprises them, but the fact that it works seems to do the trick. Johnny even loses the flame. Once Reed is certain things are safe he moves over to Bruce's side, offering him a coat from the Fantasicar.]

The Hulk from our universe has been known to manage the same. Regardless of your origin point, it is good to see you Doctor Banner... Bruce. Are you feeling alright? If you need transportation we can assist you.

[He takes the coat, grateful for the warmth. It's really hard to look serious when you have no shirt and you're not a green rage monster.]

[Bruce straightens with a sigh, adjusting his pants so they don't fall down and really embarrass him.]

Thank you...Dr. Reed. I'm alright. I don't usually switch like that. [It was a pleasant change from waking up in the middle of nowhere.]

[He shakes his head at the offer of transport. Honestly, he's got nowhere to go right now. Besides, he couldn't deny he was a bit curious about them as a team and professionally as scientists.]

...who's idea was the matching outfits?

[The team can't exactly let him walk about half naked and cold. He'll only run into problems again.]

Not a problem, we're more than used to the Hulk's... ah, outbursts in our reality. We were one of the first superhero teams to assist in ensuring all concerned were safe, though I have to admit at the time we did not have the intel that you and the Hulk were one and the same.

And it was my idea, mostly, we needed to have some central focus and having costumes showed we acted as a team. Reed provided the unstable molecules for the fabric though, which allows us to use our powers without damage to our clothing.

[Bitter smile.]

Not like anyone would believe it. Almost didn't myself....

[He trails off, leaving the sentence unfinished. It was still difficult to admit to himself that he and the Other Guy were one and the same.]

S'good idea actually. I can see how that would help with not being set on fire. [Slightly jealous maybe, he'd kill for some unstable molecule clothing some days. Stretched jeans only lasted so long. He can only imagine how tough it would be for Johnny.]

Rather think yeh supposed to believe yeh are, Doc.

[The FF couldn't quite believe it at first, but given the likelihood of their being seen in close proximaty so often, it was a logical deduction in the end. Johnny grins as he nods at the scientist's words.]

Can't exactly keep ending up with no clothes, Banner, much as the ladies would like me to be. Reed's science came in useful when he made our unstable molecule costumes.

[He could just as easily thought it was all in his head. Blackouts and hearing things. Waking up in the middle of nowhere. But at this point he's changed so many times, both of them are aware of it when it happens.

He eyes Ben warily, it was a little surreal perhaps to be standing shorter when they were closer to eye level a moment ago. That and years of being chased down meant that Bruce didn't trust anyone.]

They have to be stable enough to stay on though, right? Self sustaining?

[Ben in return seems to give Bruce a mix of bemusement and internal irritation, at least Banner can change back, he has adjusted to his appearance just fine but still occasionally misses the chance to be human on occasion. Plus it's hard to not forget there was a big green rage guy a minute or two ago.]

Oh constantly, the molecules within were crafted from my study of the crashed ship we landed in and its reaction to the cosmic rays we were exposed to. So they react like a second skin to any use of cosmic derided powers. Your gamma based origins sadly would not likely allowed for a more fluid transference, Doctor Banner.

[Sighs to himself.]

That would be too easy.

[Bruce does tend to have to do everything the hard way. One would think he would be used to it by now.]

But the questions is... what it as bad as my movie?

Hmmmm, going by my current statistical data Johnny... ah, other Johnny... the positive vs negative outlook on our various pictures including your own would indicate that yours is considered rather superior in quality.

Hmmmm, even if I apparently happen to be Latino for some reason.

Yeah and Doomie is turned into a second rate Lex Luthor who kinda looks like that Nip and Tuck guy.

Would have been surprised at anything else. My Mun has been gracfully told not to watch the second movie tho.

Well Susan, it looks like I, well my character, ended up in your shoes. Doesn't seem like Fox has any idea about what they are doing. Disrespecting source material like that, tsk tsk.

Yeah and nowadays people mistake me for Captain America. It's really sad.

Our guy says it ain't too bad, even if they got Galactus into a big ball of space fluff.

I'll think you'll find Ben that it was intended to be inspired by our Ultimate counterpart's version-

Look stretch, it looks stupid. And considerin' what Galactus actually looks like that's sayin' somethin'. Anyway, if the parallel matchstick don't wanna see it it's his choice.

But yes, it is strange they made us adopted and changed our background so drastically. We'll just have to hope they get us right, or else hand the rights over. You being Captain America though, that's just amusing.

Sorry that I'm so rusty

No worries, Johnny is probably the voice I'm still trying to capture of the 4.
