Not in the slightest. But that is why it might actually work. It’s been twenty years since the Incredibles, so people are liable to forget the direct comparison of the ersatz version that did a better job already at presenting the super family dynamic in a retro future setting. I hate Pedro’s overexposure and would be very happy to see him go the frick away for a long time.
They were extremely popular 60 years ago, when being dysfunctional buttholes was novel. Before Marvel, comic characters weren't realistic people, they were more like cutouts. But what made the FF unique in characterization became the Marvel MO, so every character had the same "fire". Eventually the only people left reading FF were the ones who liked the shmaltzy American family sitcom type. And it's evident since the only things that normalgays care about in regards to the FF are their villains, like Doom, Galactus and the Surfer. The last time they were relevant was a decade+ when Hickman used the book to get his Space Opera nut off. But Hickman only likes Reed and Doom and Galactus and the powerlevels allowing him to write epic set pieces.
I only read ultimate fantastic four and I liked it. They should have adapted something like that.
Ultimate FF was unironically better and I say it as someone who did eventually go back and read the 616 FF comics back in the day. They're not better written or more imaginative, as Kirby's imagination really shined in FF. But 1610 FF has a better hook. They're all child prodigies and they meet at a think tank. A test goes wrong and they get their powers. Then they act as X-Files meets Star Trek. They're young, they're hot, they're edgy. It works.
For me the biggest problem with the FF is that Reed is absolutely too smart to be believable, and especially to be playing sitcom dad. You've got a guy so smart that there's no word for it, and he enjoys spending time with a couple of normalgays. He raises his son, who's a literal god, like any other "aww shucks hotdog" kid. He doesn't act like a gigabrain. And that to me breaks the entire concept.
The FF work as either the Ultimate versions (young, hot adventurers) or as the Future Foundation. The importance should be on the expertise and the scientific adventuring. However in the actual books the core is the family sitcom aspect with a side of adventurism, to which point, why even bother?
>Reed is absolutely too smart to be believable
yeah i have a hard time understanding that
he seems like he can solve world hunger but just doesn't for unclear reasons

dr doom is seemingly capable of a lot of stuff (except fixing his fricked up face i guess) but he makes a lot of mistakes and generally acts kind of dumb
so idk i guess mr fantastic wins
Doom all the way. One has his own fricking country and frequently goes to to toe with gods and above, the other can barely keep his relationship together.
Reed is undoubtedly smarter on raw brainpower. He’s freakishly smart. But Doom’s smarter in that he’s the only one good enough to combine science and magic and comprehend the true nature of reality. Reed’s superpower is his freakishly super brain, especially after his elastic transformation. Doom’s superpower is his iron will coupled with his insane ego.
All Marvel IPs have a moniker like “Incredible” Hulk, “Amazing” Spider-Man, or “Uncanny” X-Men. This means that the name of the team in “Fantastic” Four is simply “The Four”
Statistically speaking, the more fantastic4 flicks you shit on the screen the more likely it becomes one of them isn't complete and utter garbage.
Statistically the more shit you shit out you're left with even more shit than you began with.
they peaked early
Agreed
is that a porn parody?
it looks like a porn parody.
I keep trying to place that bloated mess in the third photo but I can’t
The Bear.
Never watched it. Is it good?
>Spic
>normal woman
>israelite
>goblin
Not a single white man. Dead on arrival
>normal woman
wtf
At least there's no blacks or Miles Teller
And that's a good thing
show nose
I want to suffocate in Vanessa Kirby's armpit.
Eh, could be worse.
Why are they complaining about Hispanic Richards? They didn't say anything about Hispanic invisible woman.
They're just trying to find something to complain about since there's no blacks or troons
Alba can pass for white. Pascal looks like he works at a taco stand.
>They didn't say anything about Hispanic invisible woman.
Because she was very attractive? Race doesn't matter. All that matters is how hot they are.
Jessica Alba was so fricking hot in those movies.
do I have to watch Fantastic 1-3 to understand Fantastic 4?
Are the Fantastic Four really popular among comic readers?

Every single F4 movie has been worse than the previous version
Oh boy! Pedro Pascal! I love that he's in things!
bueno papu, pero al menos todos son blancos, de eso podemos alegrarnos
The invisible woman is a good waifu
According to leaks, she will be a girlboss in this new one
This just ain’t it. He was miscast as Joel too.
If only they didn't keep the mustache, maybe he could pass as reed.
i'm not a chickless fan, but he was a good ben grimm
more like reed shitchards ahahaha but seriously capeshit is trash and youre all homos

Should have cast Sarah Gadon

I'm all for big eyebrows on women but damn b***h, at least trim and comb those.
All look too fricking old except for dude from stranger things

That's not who they replaced tho.
