And yes, FF is obscure in terms of mass audience. My wife had never heard of them. One of her brothers had only heard of them in passing reference. Didn't know anything about them. And these are the people that the movie needs to be playing up to in order to make ticket sales. Comic book fans are still a relatively small audience. Not nearly enough to cover the production costs on a movie such as this. Elektra proved this. They were just hoping to cash in on the recognition of the role from the Daredevil movie and on Jennifer Garner's fame. That really worked, didn't it?
