Maybe Marvel CEO billionaire extraordinaire Ike Perlmutter was on to something when he cancelled Fox Marvel merchandise and put the kibosh on the comics. It’s not unfathomable to think that Perlmutter has inside info in regards to the Marvel Fox properties – X-Men and Fantastic Four – so it’s possible when he learned just how potentially bad Fox is using the Marvel characters, he decided to stop promoting them.
Case in point is the recently released X-Men: Apocalypse images which reveal Apocalypse as Ivan Ooze, the Power Rangers villain.
Case in point #2 would be the Fantastic Four‘s Thing without a costume and seemingly naked (or minus any male parts).
What’s that? Deadpool, you ask? Deadpool is a success (so far) because the Fox executives don’t/didn’t really care about it, gave it a small budget, and let Tim Miller and Ryan Reynolds do whatever they basically wanted to do. However, that might all change when Deadpool becomes a success. Just keep Singer away from it, and Deadpool might stand a chance.
It turns out I’m not the only one that is horrified by the Apocalypse design. Let’s head to the land of the trolls for more reactions.
My interest in #XMenApocalypse is now at zero. Apocalypse looks SO bad. The Ivan Ooze comparison is dead on.

People green lit that Apocalypse? Do those people realize I just saw 3 different COSPLAYS that are x10 better. COSPLAYS.

If they went with CGI for Apocalypse, they’d run the risk of him looking too much like Thanos. I get that. But at least, his face should …

Apocalypse looks like Ivan Ooze, ‘cept worse

Not gonna lie the pictures of Apocalypse are about as underwhelming as Ronan from guardians of the galaxy

They made Apocalypse look like f—ing Ivan Ooze from the f—ing power rangers movie. I’m done.

@TilderAsgrave Had no idea mohawk Storm would be in this. Looking forward to it but hopefully Apocalypse finds some steroids before then.

Apocalypse looks really sh-t in the promo images for xmen apocalypse, he doesn’t look like the kind of guy who can destroy a planet

They’ve dropped the ball so hard with the design of Apocalypse. SO! HARD!

X-Men Apocalypse bothers me because I know, due to time, they can never develop the ensemble & they’ve so far boiled Apocalypse’s powers..

@Nerd_Ferguson Apocalypse looks atrocious…

Apocalypse looks stupid in the new Xmen movie… why do they keep going back in time
— Young Adult (@Infinitely_Sikk) July 16, 2015
New images of @apocalypse look like a character from a defunct and thrown in the garbage version of Power Rangers. Horrible. Really.

I’m not sure if I like the Apocalypse’s design/costume. By which I’m saying I don’t like it at all. May look better on film?
— Inquisitor Kirke (@kirkenovak) July 16, 2015
Why does Apocalypse look like that. Come on Xmen!
