1. Has anyone noticed that Reed Richards (a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic) is the biggest dick in the Marvel Universe?pic.twitter.com/8iMkN1r7Lt

What a moron.
No wonder Sue had a thing for Namor. #YouGetItGirlpic.twitter.com/l5uLQpfpmP
They seem really anxious to emphasize that they are MARRIED.
His dickishness is dependent on Sue being written in a certain way. They are a unit. It's almost as if they are satires of 1950s-60s stereotypes.
Worth noting the sexism is largely due to Lee's writing not Kirby's art; if you look at the later, the sexism is greatly diminished. (See eg here, around halfway down the page: http://zak-site.com/Great-American-Novel/ff_Stan_and_Jack_as_writers.html …)
Namor, Quicksilver and Hank Pym are bigger dicks.
One reason Reed is such a dick is that it’s hard to write geniuses when you’re not one, (sorry, Stan) but easy to write someone who’s arrogant, impatient and doesn’t suffer fools as stereotypical shorthand for hyper-masculinized intelligence.
Further evidence in favor of the FF entering the MCU as time travellers from the 60s who have missed five decades of progress. I can only imagine how Reed would respond to Black Widow or Captain Marvel or Gamora. Hell, make Reed a villain. That worked great in the comics.

I recently reread FF #1-80 & Reed's misogyny is pretty consistent.pic.twitter.com/QWRIU5eBmN
