Ah yes, the perfect Reed Richards. I truly see the vision!

I don't even dislike Pedro, but I think it's he's a huge miscast for "smartest man alive". I actually dislike 3/4 of the actors, and the only actor I like, is the guy playing The Thing. Just thought I'd give my opinion, since I haven't given it yet.
A Mexican Reed Richards. Wonderful. AYYYY VATO, THE HEDRON COLLIDERRRR CANNOT FALL INTO DE HANS OF DR. DOOOOM, DIOS MIO! VIVA LA FANTASTIC QUATRO!
And you already know they're going to make Johnny a fudge packer.
>A Mexican Reed Richards. Wonderful.
Yeah, it's not good, is it. If they 100% had to have Pedro for some reason, I would have made him the fire guy. They probably want the Hispanic audience. I've seen anons defending the casting.
They can't make him the fire guy since him and invisible woman are siblings
His father side bloodline is traced to Spane and his mother side bloodline is traced to Belgium and Basque Country. He's a Southern European.
And yet he cries about Mexican supremacy and how white people should be dead.
>we need something to recapture audience's interest in the MCU
>Uh yes! Let's do Mr fantaspic, invisible grandma and two literally whos
Hopefully we see Reed's abuela shooting a gigantic gun.
This clearly wasn't made for comic book fans and straight men
They didn't have much of a choice as everyone said no. Marvel really wanted this cast to pop with some A list talent, specifically for Sue and Reed, but now they are stuck with a TV cast and TV director. Feige is no doubt shitting blood daily.
>we asked Adam Driver and Gyllenhaal
>they said no
>well, that's all the white people, time to start with the hispanics, I guess
At least none of them are black. Think about it. Remember when Johnny Storm was black and a white woman is supposed to be his sister?
Also its nice that they're going for a colorful look and not the colorless garbage if modern MCU.
ChatGPT did a lot better at the casting earlier last spring when it cast them like this:
Reed Richards / Mr. Fantastic – John Krasinski
Sue Storm / Invisible Woman – Emily Blunt
Johnny Storm / Human Torch – Zac Efron
Ben Grimm / The Thing – David Harbour
Zac is too bogged now. He could play Doom with that face, tho.
Seems like they are purposely have this exist in the 60s-80s and I'm sure Reed will be a blowhard, Sue will be a femist and Johnny Gayze of course. But then they can kill them off and pass the torch to the younger ones in whatever Avengers 7 will be. Or it's time travel again
Alternatively, they can turn this version of Reed into The Maker and then get a new Reed
This is business. Pedro Pasco is in The Mandolorian, Last of Us and Games of Thrones. He's nerd royalty. Let's put it in terms you can understand, incel. Pedro is alpha, Men want to be him and women want to frick him. He dings all four quadrants. He's Mexican. POCS love him. He's an ESG wet dream, bubby. And that's why the Disney C-suits make the big bucks and you're working minimum wage.
Ciao, loser
>everyone assumed Benedict Dr. Strange would take the lead because it's natural
>push all females instead
>ultimate failure
>Cumberb***h demands a bigger role bts
>Dormammu gets written in Avengers 5
gets written in Avengers 5
Kino
wasn't the yes chef Thing already in Punisher?
Can someone tell Pablo to shave off that fricking mustache already
He's gay. They love their mustaches
The F4 IP is cursed. Why do they keep trying to make it a thing?
The FF IP is just moronic. You've got the world's smartest man who can invent doomsday weapons, but he cannot cure his rockman best friend. And if that's not enough, his son is a literal reality warper who just... does nothing. You have this great foundation about fantastic superpowered explorers, but it's structured around a family so you get silly American sitcom tropes starring "rock guy" and "flame guy". The characters themselves are boring and uncool. When I go to watch a superhero movie, I want the characters to be cool, I'm not going to apologise for it. But every Fgay thinks that if you find them boring, you somehow hate families or whatever other nonsense. No, I'd rather just watch a movie about either cool superheroes or cool supergenius superpowered explorers.
It's honestly no wonder nobody wanted these roles. Why would Driver play Mr Stretch when he could come in down the line for a one and done cool villain? Gyllenhaal played Mysterio because he had a cool costume, cool "powers" and a fun personality. The FF are just the boring, moronic version of superheroes. The concepts they introduced where groundbreaking, but that was just Kirby's imagination. The characters and whole core of it just isn't interesting enough. It's Super-Powered FRIENDS married with Star Trek. Me, I'm just not interested in that.
There's a reason all anybody cares about in relation to the FF are their villains. Doom, Galactus and the Surfer, the Negative Zone and Annihilus, Kang. Their villains and concepts are better than the characters themselves. The best thing to happen to the FF was the Maker, and it drives home the point that the only interesting character in the whole team is Reed, so you might as well wonder why you're even wasting time with all the other bullshit instead of following a Super-Smart Uber-Chad called "Mr Fantastic" having fantastic adventures.
