In the past ten years, Marvel Comics have adapted several of their super-heroes into film, the most successful versions being Spider-Man, the X-Men and to an extent the Fantastic Four (though the characterisations were better recieved than the actual plots of the two films). Now, Marvel has announced all three of those franchise will be re-booted in 2011 and 2012, the first as Spider-Man 4 was cancelled due to overdue scripting, the second as X-Men Origins: Wolverine was poorly rated for its lack of true nostalgia with regards to Logan's storyline, and the third as the Fantastic 4 franchise is apparently just in need of a reboot. The problem here? Film series which this generation have grown up with will be lost, and many teens will undoubtedly be confused as to why their favourite actors have been replaced and the plots of each hero re-started. Take Spider-Man: we're going to have to go through the whole transformation, Peter wishing he'd never got his powers things again when we've already witnessed them just a few years before. What are your thoughts on these newly-announced rebooted Marvel franchises?
