If you had told me a few years ago that someone would make a movie about a silver guy and a flying surfboard --- on fire--- and adults were actually talking about it, I would have checked myself in for delusional experiences.

You got to be kidding me. The world is full of teenagers and 40-somethings going on 13?

Mostly I agree with you.
BUT...at least in the Oklahoma oil-town that I grew up in,
for guys in the age 8-14 bracket in the 1970s, The Silver Surfer
was intriguing as a comic-book character, especially in comparison
to the likes of Batman and Superman.

Hence, I do suspect there is a "40-going on 13" demographic that
did want to see The Silver Surfer come to the silver screen.

Despite all their colossal goof-ups, the suits in Hollywood don't
green-light anything unless they thing they will see the color
of green at the bottom of the balance sheet!
