Marvel Studios’ ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ | In Cinemas July 25th, 2025

There has never been a good adaption of the fantastic four

And I don't think there will ever b one

0/3 so far (if we counting John Krasinski in MoM)

Mans saying that like Tom Holland ain’t a goofball himself. Sounds like it would be a fun duo.

they're gonna have them established from the jump i guess. gonna be in some 1960s alternate universe where they are basically the Avengers. only way it makes any sense, b/c they can't possibly make it an origin with them going to space and everything. ol' dude playing Ben might not even get to play himself at any point in the movie. it might just open with him as Thing. if they actually do an origin story with old ass Pedro just getting his powers, that would be ridiculous

Not having an origin story would be a mistake.

this is the 3rd iteration of modern F4, they didn't give Tom Holland Spidey his origin b/c people saw 2 already. who knows. Pedro is fukkin old.

People will see it but realize quickly that the fantastic four, outside of print and usually even in print....is fukking stupid. They're literally more interesting as people than they are heroes. Them fighting bad guys is pretty awful to read or watch lol.

They're more entertaining talking than punching.

The last one dropped almost 10 years ago.

Spider Man is different, because they simply didn’t show him getting bit but a spider, and his uncle getting killed. Other than that, he was still in high school, and Homecoming was a semi origin story because he was still coming to grips with his new powers.

So you can’t even compare the 2

That's his origin though, no?

We first see him in the MCU when Tony shows up at his apartment because he was scouting him and wanted him to join his side.

look, at the risk of sounding like a stupid cocksucker conservative piece of shyt who i fukkin hate... Pedro was cast to appease the annoying internet users who would have complained about an all white cast (there are 50 actors who would have been better, imo.) also, some out of touch executive heard he was an "internet zaddy" or some cornball shyt and disney already had him in the family, so they rolled with it.

Too late. lol

The other 2 spider man movies had bootleg origin stories. They were in high school for 30 minutes and then they were out in the world.

MCU Spiderman picked up where he just got his powers and the first 2 movies he was exclusively in high school. The third was his senior year. So in a way, it was an origin story told in 3 movies.

Origin movies aren’t just about showing how they got their powers. It’s a coming of age story and evolution.

Would you consider the Batman an origin story?

I recall A. Garfield,'s Spidey just graduating HS in the sequel. He was in HS the entire 1st movie.

F4 is definitely getting an origin story. Their origins aren’t cemented in pop culture like Supes, Spidey, and Bats. Unless you’re in the know.

Which one?

Garfield was damn near 30 in that movie

Nobody took that shyt seriously.
