🎬 David DiCerto journeys into the Marvel Multiverse to review The Fantastic Four: First Steps—through a Catholic lens! 💥⛪

Marvel's "First Family" finally joins the MCU… but can they save the world and the summer movie season? With retro-futuristic flair, old-fashioned virtues, and a surprising (if unintentional) pro-life image, this cosmic adventure might be the most entertaining superhero hit of the year.

🎥 Topics include:

  1. Family, faith, and the moral heart of Marvel's "First Family"

  2. The bold pro-life moment Disney actually let happen

  3. Why Sue Storm's sacrificial motherhood is the film's greatest superpower

  4. Religion in the MCU: from silence to synagogue

  5. Reed Richards vs. Galactus: brains, brawn, and the beauty of mystery

  6. Blaise Pascal, St. John Paul II, and the theology of wonder in a superhero film

  7. How this "first step" could redeem the MCU heading into Avengers: Doomsday

📌 Key takeaway: The Fantastic Four: First Steps proves that in the battle between spectacle and soul, love still conquers all—and sometimes the most heroic thing you can do is sit down for Sunday dinner.
