"New Fantastic Four. One of the Storm siblings is adopted?" Mon Aug-03-15 05:24 PM by Atillah Moor
I mean black Johnny Storm-- ok I guess kinda cool but weird. Just trying to figure out what the story will be regarding this odd "throw a black guy in the role for no reason" decision.

why explain a Black Johnny Storm?

"Where was the peace when we were getting shot? Where's the peace when we were getting laid out? Where is the peace when we are in the back of ambulances? Where is the peace then? They don't want to call for peace then.

Reg E. Cathey is playing Father Storm. Which is an interesting choice, as it doesn't go for the "benevolent white family adopts Black child and allows him to flourish" trope.
Sadly, I fear the movie is gonna suck no matter what. Fox doing an embargo on reviews until the film's release doesn't bode well.

And the dad takes the daughter in. I wonder if a black man would even be able to adopt a white child (and a girl at that) in real life? That alone might qualify the movie as fantasy fiction.
