THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Set Video Offers Closer Look At Statue Celebrating Marvel's First Family

@Scarilian - It worked for spider-man. It worked for the eternals ( yes that movie wasn't a financial success but I'd hardly say it was because it wasn't an origin story)

Do you really want to watch this group start out normal and get their powers and deal with them and then stop a baddy, the same exact story we've seen a thousand times?

@Scarilian - yes. We've had several cliché origin stories, which are little more than an introduction with an action scene. I'd rather see them in action, then perhaps rewind for dramatical purposes as they arrive. 🍊 is the new ⚫️ did a great job at the style of storytelling. 🪙 🪙

Spider-man it did not work for. He ended up spending three movies (four if you count Civil War) learning the same exact lesson and then forgetting and with the confusion of Uncle Ben we've no idea how that was handled as he simultaneously knew and did not know the 'Great Power comes with Great Responsibility' and needed to learn it again from his Aunt May. We've no idea what his origin looked like, according to Disney the animated series was going to be canon and that apparently features him getting powers thanks to the multiverse and a multiverse travelling Spider. So clearly we've no clue what his origin looked like, we didn't see him learn how to use his powers and the primary aspect people keep asking Marvel to do is give us a grounded movie where we explore his character - precisely what an origin story would be like. Spider-man skipped the origin story and then spent a collection of films trying desperately to repeat the origin in weaker forms to get him to the place of being Spider-man (according to the director of the films he only achieved this at the end of NWH).

Eternals was a complete [frick]ing disaster, primarily due to the story, which is why they scrapped plans on the sequel as nobody supported it. It's not even worth discussing as that entire potential franchise is dead and is likely not even going to turn up in Avengers 5/6/7 before the reboot.

"Do you really want to watch this group start out normal and get their powers and deal with them and then stop a baddy, the same exact story we've seen a thousand times?"

Yes, because it's an essential part of us connecting with these characters and worked for 20 years of media and countless comics. I'd rather have character development than pre-established stagnant statues of what should be. If you have a new iteration of the character we need a clear idea of how they got the powers, how they learned and developed, how it shaped them into who they are and what troubles they have along the way.

"I can’t blame them, we already know the story."

So which is it for the MCU:
Did they gain their powers by the multiverse?
Did they gain their powers by a cosmic storm?
Did they gain their powers from an alternative dimension?
Did they gain their powers via an experiment which went wrong?

The Fantastic Four have multiple varied origin stories all of which eventually factor into stories told with them, such as Annihilus, the Negative Zone, the Power Cosmic, etc... to skip their origin is just foolish as it ruins not only the connection but the set-up to tell these story lines later.

@StSteven - Ooh, a David Cronenberg Fantastic Four...! ☮️😉

@StSteven - Nah, nothing of consequence...! ☮️🙄

@StSteven - Yes, it's a totally different landscape, since Joss Whedon took the lead at DC Studios & Zack Snyder took over at Marvel after Kevin Feige resigned...! ☮️😁

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - Well, this is in the UK (per the article).

@CAPTAINPINKEYE - more guns that people in the united states

Visuals are meaningless if the writing sucks, you'd just have a very polished turd.
