FANTASTIC FOUR: WORLDS GREATEST
After being snapped back into existence post Avengers: Endgame, REED RICHARDS attempts to organize a trip into space to study a tear created in time and space by the Infinity Stone’s energies. He believes the tear will heal soon and there is only a limited amount of time to use it to create interstellar travel. Unfortunately, no one will finance his mission as it’s too risky. He convinces his old college friends who were also snapped: the man who once saved his life during a lab fire BEN GRIMM, his wealthy ex-girlfriend SUSAN STORM, and her former reality TV celebrity brother JOHNNY STORM to help him fund a mission into space to study the energies. The mission fails as the breech in time and space irradiates the friends and Reed must try to keep his found family together as they develop superpowers and must battle the subterranean ruler THE MOLE MAN and his giant monster army also given powers by a piece of the spaceship sent back in time by the explosion that gave them their powers. Johnny Storm will attempt to catapult himself back to stardom by marketing The Fantastic Four as a replacement for the Avengers. The FF will stop the giant monster GIGANTO from tearing apart Midtown. Ben Grimm will feel he has been transformed into a monster and join the Mole Man only to rejoin The Fantastic Four in the third act as they tell him he will always be part of their family. Ben has formed a bond with the giant monster giganto and uses him along with the Fantastic Four to turn back the other giant underdwelling monsters unleashed on Manhattan by The Mole Man and save the day. Reed proposes to Sue and the Fantastic Four are celebrated as heroes.
DOCTOR DOOM: ORIGINS
The decades spanning epic origin story of the most dangerous man in the marvel universe. A tragic story of vengeance and destiny. In the Eastern European nation of Sokovia the Romani people are persecuted by the country’s cruel Baron. When a Romani child’s parents are killed as a result of the actions of the Baron of Sokovia and his mother’s soul is sent to the Dark Dimension to be used by DORMAMMU, VICTOR VON DOOM begins a continent spanning search from Reed Richards in New York City to the mystical Kamar Taj in the Himalayas to gain the complete mastery of both science and magic he needs to become something more than a man, to become an idea, to become Doom, and take control of his homeland and kill the Baron! But, as each piece of his humanity is slowly torn away in exchange for power, Doom tries to hold on to the one he loves most, his childhood love, the woman Valaria. Doom returns to Sokovia and leads a rebellion against BARON VLADIMIR FORTUNOV, eventually sacrificing the last of his humanity to take control of Sokovia, murder the Baron, and gain his vengeance. Valaria flees Sokovia with other refugees, many of whom children whose parents Doom has killed, as Doctor Doom has become the man he hated for so long.
FANTASTIC FOUR: DOOMED
When a friend of Reed Richards who helped him develop the technology that gave them their powers, VICTOR VON DOOM, resurfaces as the dictator of an Eastern European nation called Sokovia and kidnaps Johnny Storm, THE FANTASTIC FOUR are forced to comply with his demands or Johnny will be killed. DOOM demands payment for Reed causing the laboratory fire in college that scarred his face and forces them to travel into THE NEGATIVE ZONE, a decaying universe of negative energy, and steal a powerful weapon THE COSMIC CONTROL ROD from the alien monster ANNIHILUS. Meanwhile, Victor’s former love VALARIA returns leadings a rebellion to bring democracy to Sokovia alongside Baron Vladimir’s daughter ZORBA FORTUNOV. The Fantastic Four and Doom must work together as the rebels get ahold of The Cosmic Rod and Annihilus is unleashed on Earth. The Fantastic Four are forced to examine how an evil dictator like Doom brings more peace to the region then the rebels trying to create a better way of life, and Doom examines that even with Baron Vladimir’s death, he will never be free of his need for vengeance. In a climactic battle Valaria will tell Doom he will never be happy even if he conquers the world. Doom will kill his former love to end the rebellion, and the Cosmic Control Rod’s energies will be absorbed into the womb of the unknowingly pregnant Sue Storm. Doom threatens to fire missiles into neighboring countries unless the Four agree that if the baby is a girl they name it Valaria. (It will end up being twins, Valaria and Franklin Richards) Doom promises to blow up the neighboring countries to his if they go back on their promises of naming the girl Valaria. Reed pledges to someday return to stop Doctor Doom as they leave Sokovia, their debt to Doom paid.
In a post credits scene we reveal Doctor Doom has a time platform that he uses to travel to the future, where the planet Earth is a fiery ruin, along with the entire galaxy presumably, the moon has been destroyed, and there is evidence of INHUMANS involvement.
FANTASTIC FOUR: INHUMANITY
The Fantastic Four are now dealing with the greatest unsolved mystery of science that is trying to raise two children while also uncovering the mysteries of science and fighting supervillains, especially when FRANKLIN RICHARDS has reality warping powers that make his sister VALARIA RICHARDS insecure about her lack of superpowers. Satellite imagery uncovers THE SAVAGE LAND in Antarctica and the Fantastic Four travel to this land of dinosaurs, discovering within it an ancient abandoned alien city and proof intelligent alien life visited Earth and had a hand in human evolution. This discovery leads THE INHUMANS, an alien race of genetically altered humans that live on the moon to decide the time has come to reveal themselves to the world, parking their flying city in the sky above the Hudson River. The Fantastic Four are sent by the president to welcome the aliens. Johnny Storm falls in love with PRINCESS CRYSTAL and Reed and Sue bond with fellow parents KING BLACK BOLT and QUEEN MEDUSA. Franklin and Valaria meet Black Bolt’s son PRINCE AHURA BOLTAGON. Ben Grimm develops a rivalry against Inhuman cousins KARNAK and GORGON. Eventually, it is revealed that the Inhumans are all being mind controlled by powerful psychic and brother to the king: MAXIMUS, who has the ability to control the minds of any Inhuman, who seeks to drop a TERRIGEN BOMB on Earth and create an army of Inhumans. The Fantastic Four are able to release the Inhuman Royal Family from mind control and join them to save Franklin and Valaria, who have been kidnapped by “Maximus The Mad”. There is a subplot involving Valaria feeling sad she doesn’t have superpowers like Franklin does, and her father Reed will help her by telling her she doesn’t need flashy powers, her power is her mind, because she’s an even bigger genius than he is.
It is revealed that an ancient alien beacon was activated in The Savage Land by The Fantastic Four, which turns on an army of KREE SENTRY ROBOTS designed to capture Inhumans and send them to their creators THE KREE as weapons.
In exposition from Maximus we learn that the planet Earth’s inhabitants evolution was genetically altered thousands of years ago by THE CELESTIALS. The Kree, who have hit an evolutionary dead end, travel to worlds where the Eternals have been to try and crack the process Celestials use to kick-start their own evolution. The Inhumans were their attempt to copy The Celestials, but when it didn’t work they decided to use the Inhumans as a living weapons factory instead. (This calls to attention and explains to the average moviegoer why The Inhumans and The Eternals are so similar)
Maximus believes the only way to stop this is to create an Inhuman army large enough to destroy the robot army. The Fantastic Four help The Inhumans stop the Terrigen Bomb and destroy the robot army, Valaria creates a computer virus to destroy the robot army, and the Inhumans return to the moon with Maximus a prisoner.
In a mid credits scene Blackbolt decides to take the fight to the Kree and the Inhumans head out into space. This will lead to an Inhumans spinoff movie.
In a post credits scene Doctor Doom uses his time machine again, discovering the world has still ended. Except this time, no sign of Inhuman involvement. Just everything absolutely destroyed.
DOCTOR STRANGE: TRIUMPH AND TORMENT
The third Doctor Strange film in which Doctor Doom strong arms DOCTOR STRANGE into helping him retrieve his mother’s soul, which was wrongly sent to the dark dimension. The two must travel into this dimension and battle DORMAMMU as a man who has dedicated his life to healing and helping others and a man who has dedicated his life to doom and vengeance are forced to work together towards a common goal. They battle the unstoppable horde that is THE MINDLESS ONES and meet the magical woman CLEA on their journey. Eventually Doom double crosses Strange to trade his soul for his mother’s but Strange manages to escape and save all three of them from Dormammu. With Dormammu in a weakened state, Doom attempts to steal his power with a power draining machine, so he can take over the Earth, becoming DOOMAMMU, but his mother disapproves of who Doom has become, giving Doctor Strange an opportunity to while Doomammu is distracted trap Doom in The Dark Dimension. Strange escapes with the soul of Doom’s mother and Doom is seemingly lost in the Dark Dimension.
In a post credits scene, we reveal Doom has plans to return to Earth and use his power to take over the universe.
Doctor Doom has always had several goals:
Get revenge on Baron Vladimir
Accomplished
Get revenge on Reed Richards
Accomplished
Get revenge on Dormammu
Accomplished
Save his mother
Accomplished
The last goal left:
Conquer the world!
MARVEL’S ILLUMINATI
The leading experts in each field of Marvel, mutants, outer space, technology, and the multiverse, along with some of the most powerful men and women on earth, come together to try to solve everything, discovering that the multiverse is collapsing in on itself in a series of Incursions.
FANTASTIC FOUR: SECRET WARS
Based on the 2015 SECRET WARS comics event, my favorite comics event of all time and the comic that got me reading modern marvel comics, with elements of the 1984 original series as well.
Doctor Doom has gained unlimited power, and to save reality while at the same time taking control of it has converted the entire Multiverse into one patchwork planet called BATTLEWORLD he rules over as a god. Not only has he transformed all reality, he has also stolen Reed Richard’s wife and children and given them false memories that he is their husband and father. Johnny Storm is the sun of this new planet and a giant Ben Grimm has been buried beneath the Earth, the massive walls separating each realm of BATTLEWORLD carved from his stone.
A brainwashed Doctor Strange is Doom’s trusted advisor and second in command. There is an army of Thors known as THE THOR CORPS from each world in the Multiverse that function as a police force. Groot has been transformed into The Mythological World Tree. There are different kingdoms, for example one ruled by Hulk, one is filled with zombies, one is a version of Attilan run by the Inhuman Royal family.
It ends with an epic war between the entire multiverse while at the same time a battle between two different men with diametrically opposed ideals, Reed Richards and Doctor Doom.
Reed Richards must address all of his mistakes as he is filled with self loathing in believing he has lost everything. He is the one that mutated his friends and family. Shrapnel from his spaceship created The Mole Man, he scarred Doom’s face, he could have talked to Doom, tried harder to help him, prevented him from becoming a monster. He could have stopped the Incursions, if only he had tried harder. Doctor Doom saved reality when he couldn’t. Everything bad that has ever happened to Reed’s family, he has in some way caused it.
Doctor Doom meanwhile has finally achieved all of his goals and found his joy to be small, empty, and fleeting. Now that he’s won, there’s nothing left to achieve and all he can do is force things to remain exactly the same forever.
There will be a moment where we get to for the first time ever see Doom’s face under the mask.
In the end Reed will regain his family, take Doom’s power, and use it not to destroy or hold everything in place, but save the multiverse with his family, and rebuild all of the destroyed worlds. In the end The Fantastic Four, Valaria, and Franklin fly off to explore a brand new multiverse that is constantly expanding of infinite possibilities.
