I'm really not interested in another Marvel F4 movie.   If anything the only thing coming out of them that I have interest in is Deadpool 3 and X-men 97.

Stop making films without the original actors over and over. The last fantastic four wasn't bad but why do it again with yet another different cast? Can they not pay the others something to get them again??/

The big problem with superhero movies is that they take ages to make, and actors age... By the time they work up to a sequel, the original is so damn old your original audience has also grown up and a new batch of marks are available to rip off who never saw the previous one. :p 

The big phase 1-4 movies all happened quickly, but the outliers like FF just take too long...

 Julia Garner has been casted to play Silver Surfer.

This isn’t the Silver Surfer we saw in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. She has a different name and origin story — and her inclusion could hint at an even bigger villain.

First teaser trailer and it looks pretty good.  Tough it seems to take place in the past?

 

Not necessarily past, it could be the case of Retrofuturism by the looks of it. Still, looks wise it looks great :D !

It is supposed to take place in the early 1960s I heard. It looks great. The first MCU movie I actually am kinda excited about in a LONG time.

Ya the look is good, be interesting if they did a series of marvel films in this timeline 

TBH, the 60's is around when most of Marvel's and DC's superheroes were born, so I'd love to see some movies based around the original versions of them... The current generation are pretty much done now, audience numbers are through the floor.  Time to either rest them completely, or go back to the real beginnings.

Wow...the dialogue writing is terrible.

Zero context sound bites in a trailer don’t portray excellent dialogue, within the context of a popcorn action flick. If that prompts a “wow” then you’re probably not the audience for this film.

Spoiler

Based on the Post-Credit after Thunderbolts*, I suspect this film will be the only one done in FantastiVision (I think that's what that retro look is called).  Sounds like the FF will be in the main MCU timeline promptly.

Surprised there is no commentary on this.  Solid movie, and very much stand-alone.  It's not a standout, A+++ movie by anymeans, but still solid. 

 

Spoiler

There's no connection to the larger MCU, yet, and that includes the post-credit.  I had assumed (as I wrote months ago) that the ending or a post credit would connect it to what we saw in Thunderbolts*... didn't happen.

Saw it last night, and for the first time in a long time, I actually enjoyed a Marvel movie again.  It's been awhile! :)

It's no Endgame, but it's a worthy movie at least as good as the new Superman.  A solid 7/10 for me.

My earlier wish of returning to their original looks etc came true! They clearly worked hard to bring the 1950's comic book scifi aesthetic to life and I glad they did, it really worked!

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
