🎥 The Fantastic Four: First Steps

[hybrid blaze]

Enjoy it

[deft spindle]

It took him two minutes to remember he had stretchy powers too lol

My favorite part was when Ben exposed him saying he’s not so smart since he lacks experience in things like cooking. He had a point

[spice ginkgo]

Just found out from this movie, the Fantastic 4 were astronauts before they were superheroes

[deft spindle]

I thought everyone knew that

[quasi kraken]

Same

[hybrid blaze]

Yes lol

[neon crescent]

Thanks

[hybrid blaze]

Shouldn’t you avoid this channel then?

We don’t want to spoil for I

[neon crescent]

I barely am ever in here so it’s fine. I’ll probably check back in this channel again after I see the movie

[potent quarry]

no please

share more love

[hybrid blaze]

I think this was my fave mcu movie since endgame

Any of u agree

There were a few that I didn’t watch

[royal crown]

Ask me again in 15 hrs

[potent quarry]

yes

[potent quarry]

you saved money

[hybrid blaze]

Glad to know it

[dense oak]

literally thunderbolts was better lmao

[woeful kettle]

I think it’s the best standalone since Iron Man.

[royal crown]

is there something wrong with BO Mojo? one moment it shows 368 M for F4 then it goes down to 367 M?

happened w superman too

[analog mural]

Not Guardians?

[potent quarry]

better at what?

[hybrid blaze]

Yeah I’m waiting to watch thunderbolts still

[grave fox]

It's a really good movie

[royal crown]

Well I'm going again one last time

Normally I'd go 3 times but the prices are ridiculous

[dense oak]

writing characters and follow through on theme. I think having a suicide squad of ragtag villains talking about themselves wanting to commit suicide is actually a pretty genius idea.

[dense oak]

Meanwhile fantastic four's thematic exploration of parenthood/self determination vs larger responsibilities pretty much stops at Vanessa Kirby giving a speech that magically resolves all conflicts. The style is a pastiche and the characters are so toned down and risk avert that some of them blend into each other

[potent quarry]

using a clone and a robot come on

[potent quarry]

it didn't resolve all conflict. she was proving a point about family and sacrifice

[dense oak]

The conflict isn't about a big space cyborg killing earth, that's the boring stuff. The conflict is how they chose their own family over their larger responsibilities and the darkness that lies in the selfish decisions you have to make in lieu of a greater sacrifice. The film basically said you don't have to make a decision like that, you can deliver a speech and then figure out a way to have your cake and eat it too

The only interesting conflict the film got and has set up was the child being named the sacrificial and how them practically being gods of this world can also show moments of weakness (or humanity if you will) but the film basically just forgoes that entire framing and say, actually, they're just gods and they can do both

Either sacrificing the child, fulfilling their responsibility as the protector of this world but forever traumatized, or keeping the child and leaving the world to burn in regrets are both really interesting outcomes (and they can cheat too, like revive the child or turn back time or some other bs if we have to have a happy ending for the sake of the franchise, but regardless of that, we need at least a moment of reconciliation instead of just throwing that theme straight into the trash

[potent quarry]

And in the end, or like every time before, they chose to save their world at the risk of everyone including themselves, human torch tried to offer his life multiple times for their world, not just his family. Regardless if they survive they would have had to give up the earth. Does sacrificing their child in an ATTEMPT there was no guarantee outside of being a cape movie about a superfamily to stop a dimensional giant not show that for you, just because they saved him and won, such as comic book movies do, does that mean less?

They knew together that no matter what they would either all die or all live. Give up one child for the world or giving the world for the child was the choice. They chose to save the earth at the cost of themselves when they had full power to straight up leave

I mean also “everything can be solved with one good televised monologue”

[hybrid blaze]

Who’s everyone’s fave character

I like human torch

[woeful nova]

The Thing

Any time I see him, I just smile.

Somehow he’s really likable even when he’s just sitting there.

[untold silo]

In this movie, Human Torch

[hybrid blaze]

Good choice

[inner ferry]

if marvel wasnt dumb they should have made this movie like five years ago, and then make a second movie by now with doctor doom as the main villain that sets him up as the next big bad and leads into doomsday

also FATWS should have just been cap 4, and we should have had a second sam cap movie by now

its just so weird that they focused so much on making shows about random side characters instead of making movies about the leads of the mcu that actually set up a story

[potent quarry]

making it half hulk, half cap, made it a half assed movie

[potent quarry]

they realize now, hopefully, majority dont give a fk about the shows

atleast not casual fans

[hybrid blaze]

Bro is cooking bro should’ve worked for Marvel

[inner ferry]

they oughta put me in charge

kevin feige who?

[lilac jolt]

Lol many people have been saying this online. In fact, they should’ve introduced F4 before they planned to make a film.

[woeful kettle]

Never heard the name, isn’t MCU under someone named Amdrew?

[final timber]

honestly, this film felt to me like I'd missed the first one. It was 100% a sequel story instead of a debut. Like, I get they didn't want to do another origin film, but it would have been nice to have seen Sue and Reed get together, and for him to actually get to spend some time being happy. He spent the whole film being stressed and mopey

Introducing your characters and universe with some world ending stakes was just too much

[potent quarry]

they should have been on the otherside of that portal in Captain Marvel 2

would have made more sense than trying to shoehorn the "other universe xmen"

[hybrid blaze]

They should have done it earlier in the mcu

[neon crescent]

I really liked this movie

So good

[grave fox]

Ya it was great

[neon crescent]

Galactus was just perfect. He looked so cool

I really loved silver surfer in it

[gentle orbit]

I have a feeling they gave a prompt to chatgpt "Write a good movie script for fantastic 4" and just made a film through it

[inner ferry]

when i'm in a stupid competition and my opponent is the message above me

[thorn ginkgo]

What

[gentle orbit]

The script felt too formulaic.

Not that its a bad thing

But so predictable

On the other hand i loved the aesthetics, the pacing and stuff.

[gentle orbit]

Is it just me or did it feel somewhat like The live action adaptation of The incredibles

[quasi kraken]

pink krptonite

[pine moss]

I agree, the movie was quite bland despite some great moments. The director excelled in WandaVision, and a longer runtime might have improved my enjoyment. However, the character development was lacking, and the story was decent, though the f4 defeating Galactus in the movie he was introduced in was disappointing. The family dynamic was a highlight. And you are right It’s like a worse version of the live-action Incredibles, but still a decent Marvel movie.

[untold silo]

my ONLY issue was the short runtime

[woeful kettle]

My biggest issue honestly was the “we can solve the world’s hate with a speech”

[gentle orbit]

Cookie cutter subplots

[grave fox]

It's a totally different world where Future foundation is the UN and Sue Storm has managed to basically achieve almost near universal disarmament, so ya our world's logic doesn't apply there.

[potent quarry]

it was "hate" so much as misguided justice for their own lives

imagine, the president of Nerds USA says, to save you all I have to give a post-term abortion, mind you theyve been trying for years and gave up until the start of the movie, and give our kid up to space-satan and his mutant silverfish, or you all die

obviously some people gonna be up in arms and think to give the baby up

was this movies message anti-abortion or pro-parent, who knows

[final timber]

It was the trolly problem

[woeful kettle]

I mean… just not realistic that EVERYONE went “aw, ok”

[near carbon]

Was pretty fantastic at times

[potent quarry]

"everyone go home or Johnny will set us on fire"

[potent quarry]

choices:

1. appease Galan, give up baby, and HOPE he doesn't kill us anyway
2. keep baby and die with everyone
3. keep baby, leave earth, and everyone dies while we get hunted down, possibly risking other planets
4. what happened in the movie, risk planets on the otherside of their universe/galaxy

[open meteor]

Guys, if you were to rate this movie again, would it be the same? I honestly feel like I overated this movie. This movie feels like a setup to Avengers

[potent quarry]

i gave it 5

would move it to 4/4.5

still a solid foundational movie ....20 years into the mcu

[open meteor]

I wish the movie was longer. After some time off, I feel like it was rushed

[final timber]

it's a very solid 3 to me

[potent quarry]

cant argue against that, while it was a new world that they wanted to build, they didnt let us stay in it very long before it all came crashing down

I heard people wanted more of the Red Ape type scenes, more street level villainy before universal

[open meteor]

Maybe we will get a director's cut on Disney Plus

[potent quarry]

director said no....hopefully fuck him though

[final timber]

that's what I've been saying. This felt like a sequel to a film we never got. The stakes were far too big for a character debut.

ok, they didn't want to make another origin film, but it would have been nice to see their dynamic without a baby in the equation.

[potent quarry]

adding a 5th before really knowing the 4 is a VERY fair criticism

An open red circle

[tight crow]

White

[potent quarry]

and this?

[quasi kraken]

Purple

[tight crow]

White

[potent quarry]

so you dont see a RED LETTER C SURROUNED BY GREEN ?

[open meteor]

Yellow in some green/brown

[potent quarry]

Im no longer joking

[tight crow]

You shared the same image twice in a row

[potent quarry]

im not trying to be rude

you actually might have some color blindness that you may need to look into

[open meteor]

What color are the legs then? They look like red boots to me

[potent quarry]

Can you read any of the numbers in these circles

[quasi kraken]

||12, 8, 6, 29, 57, 5, 3 15 74 5 6 57 5 42 45||

[open meteor]

Yes, I can see some of them clearly, some I need to focus

[potent quarry]

go to an eye doctor, its not an emergency, just for confirmation, before you mistake a red flag for a surrender

[open meteor]

haha, Let me check again, pretty sure I saw red legs

They are red legs

[inner ferry]

red???????????

[potent quarry]

funny enough in the unedited version you dont see the white boots at all

[open meteor]

The edited version has red boots though

[potent quarry]

what color animal do you see in this ?

[open meteor]

Red penguin

[potent quarry]

get fucked mate

[open meteor]

you gotta be trolling at this point

It's like orangish and purple though isnt it

Or wait mor spink actually

Like a salmon color

[quasi kraken]

I kinda see red in between the legs but not the legs themselves

[quasi kraken]

That's not red

[open meteor]

Red

[potent quarry]

those are white boots, that have been edited into the image

[open meteor]

Red boots

Am I the only one that sees red boots?

[tight crow]

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-red-ranger-pose-posing-gif-8941922

^ red

[potent quarry]

not red

[open meteor]

That Power Ranger is light red, the boots are dark red

[potent quarry]

Bonus Round:

What color are these outfits

[tight crow]

I wouldn’t call power range light red, I’d think that is stereotypical red

[open meteor]

Blue and white

The normal outfit is blue and white, that's why the red boots threw me off. I don't get why you would edit one with red boots

[potent quarry]

and what color is this uniform

[open meteor]

Blue. and some white

[potent quarry]

any red at all?

[open meteor]

no

[potent quarry]

we're done here

you have successfully wasted my time

good on you

[tight crow]

1. take a screen shot of the picture
2. zoom in,
3. use paint, or some app that has the “pipet” feature that allows you to select the pixels and see what color value it has.

[open meteor]

??? I honestly see red, I don't get how you guys see white in the edit version

[tight crow]

Compare it to range of colors associated with red vs white

and put it to rest that way.

[open meteor]

I will use paint

[potent quarry]

those are the the colors

now his penis might be other colors

[open meteor]

It's brown red

His red boots

[potent quarry]

its thats red then im a blue skinned man

[open meteor]

If it's not red, it's brown, either way, it's not white

[tight crow]

What hex value or RGB value is that.

Pure red is (255, 0,0) for example

[open meteor]

How do you check the hex or rgb value in paint?

[tight crow]

(255, 50, 50) is pinkish red

(128, 0, 0) is maroon

[tight crow]

One sec, there should be some kinda pipet thingy:

1. Open Paint and either load your image or start a new one.

2. Select the Color Picker tool (eyedropper) from the toolbar.

3. Click on the part of the image whose color you want to inspect.

4. The chosen color will appear in the “Color 1” box.

5. Click on Edit Colors (usually found in the top toolbar).

6. A window pops up showing the Red, Green, and Blue values (0–255) for the selected color.

[potent quarry]

the point is that you are sideways about an edited image which the main point of is to look at the stretchy shlong, when in the regular unedited version you don't see the boots anyhow

[tight crow]

His boots are white but there is a shadow on the back of them. That’s why the outline has white pixels.

[open meteor]

I can't get edit colors

[tight crow]

So the shadow on the back of his boots is “dark purple” , but his boots are white

[tight crow]

Which ver of windows u on

[open meteor]

Windows 11 Home

[open meteor]

So basically the outward lines are white and inside it's dark purple but i'm supposed to believe that the boots are white?

[tight crow]

“dark purplish-gray”

[tight crow]

Yes you use context clues, here

you see a white outline on his boots right?

Let’s take his left leg

[open meteor]

The stretched Blue suit also has some white outline

[tight crow]

why would there be a light source making his left leg appeared white. The upper part of the suit has Galactus eyes shining on it…

[open meteor]

I don't know, awkward light reflection/bad edit?

[open meteor]

What's also a bad thing about it, is that the shoes are long in the stretch, making the image seem even more ridiculous

[tight crow]

Fair, though I’d have assumed Reed would have done something with the type of clothing, shoes, gloves,…etc shii he wears to accommodate this. He’s cutting edge scientist, I’d hope if he’s cracked galactic space travel he’d have cracked making his clothes suit his stretchy body.

[open meteor]

You'd think that the limbs would stretch first before his his ankles/feet

[open meteor]

From this image, I do see more white in it

[tight crow]

That’s the same image as earlier

just zoomed in a lil

[open meteor]

My eyes must be tired. The right leg still looks more red though

[tight crow]

Let’s test it out

One sec

That time I used it on a pixel his right leg rather then left.

[open meteor]

And what's the name of that color?

[tight crow]

so it looks like a “plum” or muddy kinda purple? it’s w/in “domain” of purple color space prob

[quasi kraken]

This is hilarious to watch go down

[open meteor]

And that's definatly not white. So me saying Red boots is not weird at all

[potent quarry]

yall cannot be on this still

[potent quarry]

fine

now what

[tight crow]

The “shadow” on the back of his boot is not white… his boot is white…

[potent quarry]

the editing of the photo makes the shoes whatever color they are

again, badly edited

[woeful nova]

Someone should edit Ice Cube seeing “phone footage” of Galactus walking down the street.

‘THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS’ is on track to end its theatrical run by earning $500M-$510M globally.

• Budget was $200M

• The highest grossing F4 film

X · Aug 17, 2025, 3:12 PM

[open meteor]

So it's not a failure then? I'm happy for it. I don't want them to stop making Marvel films

[lilac jolt]

It underperformed by Marvel standards

Also, they weren’t going to stop making Marvel movies lol even if F4 flopped.

I doubt there would be a sequel unless the audience wants it after Doomsday and Secret Wars.

[open meteor]

Secret Wars is a reboot though. So I expect most actors being recast

I've heard that Chris Hemsworth still has his Thor role afterwards

[lilac jolt]

Secret Wars isn’t a reboot

The reboot and recast will happen after phase six.

Also, F4 is definitely not getting recasted. Their popularity with the audience now relies on Doomsday and Secret Wars.

Hope we can get a sequel because First Steps was a solid movie and one of the best in MCU.

It’s a shame the movie underperformed.

[open meteor]

Yeah, but it's understandable though. We had Jurrassic World and Superman on the same month before that. F4 was most likely to take a hit

[lilac jolt]

Still though. Many including myself thought this movie would destroy Superman in the box office.

We were wrong about it and fooled by the MCU brand image.

Also, clearly even Marvel underestimated Superman. They could’ve released it on a later date.

Like F4 wasn’t even a bad movie and the IP is also known. Pedro Pascal is also a popular actor these days, so we all expected this movie to do better.

[open meteor]

Here in the Netherlands the marketing for Superman has been over the top. There were ads everywhere for it. Fantastic Four not so much. I like was James Gunn is doing with Marketing for DCU projects. I'm honestly not worried about Marvel since they still have big IPs like Deadpool and Spider-Man. Likely to do very well.

I was expecting Fantastic Four to do as well as Superman to be honest. Due to Pedro and Vanessa

[lilac jolt]

That could be another reason. Marvel will definitely have to worry if Doosmday and Secret Wars don’t do that well, but as of now I expect those to make more than BND.

[open meteor]

I have doubts about Doomsday and Secret Wars numbers. I know that Spider-Man will do well. I hope that Avengers will do well, but we'd have to see

[lilac jolt]

If BND, Doomsday and Secret Wars have all done really well, then Marvel regains their goodwill.

They wouldn’t have much pressure when it comes to dealing with the reboot, but nevertheless Marvel shouldn’t repeat the mistakes they’ve committed back during phase 4 and 5.

[open meteor]

I wonder what Marvel will do though. They obviously need to avoid making the mistake of throwing too many projects on Disney Plus. So the future will be interesting.

[lilac jolt]

Now if Doosmday and Secret Wars only perform satisfactorily, then the Marvel brand is fucked up. I don’t know what they will do.

[lilac jolt]

Yeah, they should reduce TV projects. Most of them are trash and unnecessary.

[open meteor]

In the beginning of when Marvel started showing their films on the big screen I used to follow all of them. Then came the period when they had so many tv projects, I stopped watching most Marvel films because I felt like I couldn't keep up with what happened in their universe

It's just recently that I started watching more Marvel films again.

[lilac jolt]

Yeah it started getting convoluted and a chore for casual audience.

Only hardcore MCU fans care about these things.

[open meteor]

True. The film that got me started into watching again was Thunderbolts, I'm a bit saddened at the fact that it didn't do well

[grave fox]

It is a failure because I don't think the movie is gonna make any profit and that's gonna be a disappointment

[quasi kraken]

Yeah 2.5 the budget is normally breaking even these days iirc

[royal crown]

sad really

but maybe it has legs idk

[woeful kettle]

studios are counting 3 these days

[mint inlet]

Doomsday is technically a sequel

Cause Reed is the lead

But for a solo fantastic four I doubt there’ll be a sequel unless high demand like you said

[royal crown]

I mean given the possible aftermath of doomsday/SW saga the overall events in this movie may not be important

[woeful kettle]

I think the idea is NOTHING will matter after Doomsday, hopefully it’s a reshuffle

Battleworld-style

Is it gonna cross 500 million dollars ?

[lilac jolt]

It should, but not doing well.

[open meteor]

How come? Pedro Pascal is in it, it should sell

[final timber]

honestly, hard to pinpoint why

[analog mural]

General audiences don't really give a shit about these things anymore

They need a reason to go rather than just "here's another one"

[deft spindle]

How does Pedro sell?

He’s been getting memed on more than praised

[inner ferry]

that is objectively not true

[deft spindle]

There’s so many “anxiety” memes of him

[lilac jolt]

I think people overestimated his stardom. Pascal has been part of successful IPs.

[inner ferry]

not at all indicative of general opinion about him

people severely overestimate how much social media impacts the real world

[mint inlet]

Star power in films doesn’t exist anymore

Or at least theater wise

F4 had a more known cast than Superman yet ir doukdnr surpass that

[lilac jolt]

True, but Superman is the bigger IP and is a more well known character.

[inner ferry]

yeah "movie stars" basically dont exist anymore

like for sure certain names can bring more attention to a movie

but just having a certain person attached is no longer enough to guarantee a movies success

movies used to be heavily advertised around the star and that isnt really a thing these days

[lilac jolt]

It’s not much of a thing in Hollywood anymore.

But that statement does not hold true in other industries.

Ngl, but I kinda miss that era of Hollywood.

[mint inlet]

It takes away chances of there being classics for future generations

Star power does exist in stuff like music and sports but Hollywood not really

You’d have to be an absolute legend like Denzel Washington to be revered

[lilac jolt]

I mean Tom Cruise is arguably the biggest Hollywood star

But sure

I think if anything id say like
I wanted more Natasha Lyonne

I loved the 2000's Fantastic 4 and the reboot 2015 was gritty. 2025 to me again was more Comic Book version, a tad wholesome, but I still liked it!

[deft spindle]

2015 was just as comedic as the 2005 one. They failed at making it actually dark

[analog mural]

Lol remember when this movie came out less than two months ago

Nobody gave a shit

[deft spindle]

“Nobody” meanwhile there’s thousands of memes and edits of it on Tiktok

This movie seemed ludicrous to me. I suppose if there's a 50/50 split on liking it or hating it, then it must not be that bad.

But when a woman gets pregnant and then joins her team to battle something that's going to wipe out the earth, it just feels like a stretch. And then as a result she ends up giving birth near a black hole - which seems like an "I told you so" moment...

[untold silo]

Expecting a superhero scifi movie to not be ludicrous is kinda crazy

[potent quarry]

oh i loved that moment

was awesome

[tranquil depot]

Well,...true. And there are many different flavors of ludicrous. But that flavor of ludicrous to me was like a baked potato with butter and chocolate syrup.

Looks bland 😭

Does match kinda with the vibe they were going with for the movie tho
