      Rewatching Fantastic Four again for 1st time in ages. Evans & Chiklis still work. The cosmic storm origin happens so fast, within 15 mins. I'm not even to the end of act one yet & film's not as bad as I remember feeling it was back then. McMahon's Doom still the weakest part.pic.twitter.com/XXS4FrX1FT

      Definitely some dated humor with Johnny Storm you wouldn't do now. Wait, Hamish Linklater was in this??

      The unveiling of the FF's powers is gradual. Misdirect w/Ben then first sign is Reed's grey temple. Then Johnny's temp & firing up skiing. Then Sue turning invisible & Reed's arm. Then Victor (loses his hair? Effects electronics?). Ben left to the end as most dramatic reveal.

      Reed immediately knows how to use his powers, which I guess you can argue is because he's the smartest (but also serves the needs of getting into Ben's room). The Thing suit still kinda works for them (though the Corman one looks more comics accurate). The truck hit still works.

      Sue's first invisible scene causing her to strip naked sure wouldn't fly now. The team using their powers on the bridge is a good "1st mission" & shows them helping ppl, which every superhero film post-BvS felt compelled to include.

      Oh shit, that was Lauren Holly as Ben's ex?? Nope, it's her mid-2000s lookalike Laurie Holden

      The team's branding as the Fantastic Four and their instant celebrity all happens so quickly but doesn't bug me. Is that because now I live in social media time where celebrity & infamy happen almost instantaneously? Probably.

      Aww, Stan Lee cameo. This really is a proto-MCU film. The emphasis on action-comedy but with some serious moments. There's an elevator/heavy creature gag years before Endgame did it. Wonder how involved then-jr. Marvel exec Kevin Feige was involved with this.

      The Fantastic Four pics were about white characters but made by a black director (Tim Story), something Mackie recently said MCU hasn't done. Alba & Washington's diverse casting was ahead of its time (ditto Fishburne as Surfer's voice). Shouldn't H'wood be better 10+ years later?

      These films may not have been well-liked critically but they were hardly giant money-losers. Each FF film passed $300M in mid-2000s global box office (over $370+M each adjusted for inflation). Guess they basically broke even given their $100-130M budgets.

      Victor von Doom really is the weakest link in this. Again, this feels like proto-MCU in terms of action-comedy & focusing on heroes but screwing up the villain. (MCU has also done the evil businessman villain many times now.) MCU would be confident enough to just go for Doom now.

          FF feels as low-scale stakes as Iron Man but also not far off from Spidey 1. Businessman villain/old acquaintance of the hero's, downtown showdown finale. Even need to neutralize Reed the way X-Men movies always did to Prof. X. Doom's adoption of a mask & cloak makes no sense.

          Overall, nothing in FF feels substantial/consequential enough to warrant a reaction beyond more than "sure, OK". The main quartet are likable but Chiklis & Evans elevate it all. You're left with a resounding "so what?" rather than a "what's next?". Feige def learned some lessons.

          Fantastic Four also has a (barely) mid-credits stinger teasing what might happen next well before other superhero movies did them.

          I want a Doom solo movie before the FF show up in the MCU.

          Doom would be better used in his eastern-european foreign power leadership role than a businessman for sure, especially with the route MCU has chosen to take in it's political inside-plot
