157 - "Fantastic Four: First Steps" Review & Discussion!
Send us a message that we can respond to at the end of every episode!
After a couple of weeks off, we present our review and spoiler filled thoughts for Fantastic Four: First Steps! We venture to Earth-828, a retrofuturistic world where Marvel's First Family shines like never before. This isn't just another superhero movie. It's a cosmic family drama that captures the essence of what makes these characters special. Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards steals the show as a brilliant mind caught between genius and emotional distance. The film doesn't shy away from his darkness, showing us a man who calculates the mathematics of saving billions, even at terrible personal cost. This complexity makes him the most compelling Reed we've seen on screen. Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm emerges as the powerhouse she deserves to be, not just with her incredible abilities but as the diplomatic and emotional center keeping the family together. Joseph Quinn brings unexpected depth to Johnny Storm, creating genuine connections with the Silver Surfer that lead to one of the film's most powerful moments. Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Ben Grimm serves as the team's emotional anchor, having made peace with his transformation while still carrying its weight.
What are your thoughts on this fresh approach to Marvel's First Family? How do you think they'll factor into the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday? Share your theories and join our conversation about the ever-expanding multiverse of fandom!
