I 100% recommend the Incredibles. ( a pixar animated movie) It is arguably the best version of the fantastic four/superhero family beat .

We may have lost Eddie Munson in Stranger Things, but now we can see Joseph Quinn as the MCU’s Human Torch. He brought along that comical flair that he had as Eddie and still looks pretty handsome. Dimension-828 is an homage to the late Jack Kirby. He co-created them with the late Stan Lee, and he was born on August 28, 1917. A few months ago, his name was immortalized on the corner of Delancey and Essex Streets in Manhattan where he both grew up and drew inspiration for some of his work. The corner is now known as Yancy Street/Jack Kirby Way. Members of his present-day family took park in the unveiling ceremony including his granddaughter Jillian. By the way, after they finished working on this film Vanessa Kirby had actually become pregnant with her first child. She recently welcomed that child to the world. What I loved the most about this movie is the dynamic between the four members of this team and the 60s-style aesthetic. In case you don’t know, the movie’s director Matt Shakman previously directed all of WandaVision. That show had a lot of costume changes from over the years. The tech on the other hand reminded me of the TVA. Even if you haven’t seen the prior Fantastic Four movies, one thing worth noting is that they cut to the chase with how they got their powers in the first place. Like I mentioned in your reaction to the trailer, they did the same thing with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Also, HERBIE is so cute. He's the kind of reliable robotic companion I would want to have around. Honestly, I'm so glad they didn't kill off Galactus. He's one of the most powerful Marvel villains if not the most powerful of them all. This means there's a possibility we may have a multitude of heroes take him on in the future. The next MCU movie will be Spider-Man: A Brand New Day slated for late July of next year followed by Doomsday in December which by the way has just wrapped filming. Secret Wars is set for December 2027. In the meantime, all you really have left to watch is Marvel Zombies (at your own risk), Eyes of Wakanda, and above all else Wonder Man. All episodes of all three shows are now streaming. And if you hustle, you’ll be caught up in time for the next season of Daredevil: Born Again. It kicks off on Tuesday, March 24th.

Ok Jax Earth 828 is a nod to Jack Kirby the man who also created with our legend Stan Lee the Marvel Universe as we know it today!!! Marvel Characters the whole nine yards!!! And Latveria is a nation on its own ruled by Dr. Victor Von Doom, who is a long time running antagonist/ antihero of the fantastic four!!! If you seen the post credit scene, Avengers Doomsday is the next BIG movie coming December later this year!!! In the meantime, you are gonna watch Marvel Zombies, Eyes of Wakanda and X-Men ‘97!!! Also Tom Hollands Spider-Man is also getting a new film releasing this summer titled Brand New Day!!! I was hoping you would wonder about what’s in store for the MCU this year!!! This movie was amazing I’m so glad I had the chance to watched this with you!!! I hope you continue your PIXAR journey soon!!! I hope this information was helpful Mrs. Jax❤️❤️❤️

Phillip Arthur

I’m so glad she saw the post credit scene!!! Now she knows about what’s up next to the MCU this year 2026!!! She should definitely catch up with Marvel Zombies and X-Men’97!!!! ❤️🔥

Horace Cocroft

Is it Wedneday? Did I sleep through a day, or is Jax early?

Phillip Arthur

Jax is never early she knows what she’s doing !!! No you’re not early!!! You’re right on time!!! 😂

I really loved this movie, I think I even liked it more than any previous MCU movies that has come before it, the story is amazing and really true to the comics that I have read. I haven't read that many but I have read some and this seemed the closest to the comics to my. Maybe I'm remembering the comics wrong but I loved it anyway. I did like the previous Fantastic Four movies also but not as much as this one. I do still feel like you should still watch all three of the other versions, the 2005 one is great, the 2007 one is really good, and the one from 2015 was pretty good, but different. They are all still worth watching in my opinion. Loved your reaction Jax! Thank you for more fantastic content.

Mike Smith

A reactor is never late. Nor is she early. She posts precisely when she means to.

Ren Maddox

Oddly, when I saw this in the theater, I was a bit down on it, giving it 3.5 stars. Watching it today was my third viewing and I’ve upped it to 4.5. I think my two main issues were: not seeing enough of them using their powers earlier, and never buying into Sue’s… issue. Upon rewatch, those problems are much smaller for me.

AJ Franklin

I think it was a solid movie for the most part. My main issue with it was the pacing. You can tell by the pacing that a lot of scenes were cut from this movie.

Robin Wise

I was sure you'd enjoy this, Jax. It's by far the best version of the Fantastic Four (FF) ever put to screen, and the same is true for Galactus. This Silver Surfer is from a different dimension than the one in Earth-616 (Marvel comics continuity). In the 616 and in all previous animation and film appearances I know of, the Silver Surfer was Norrin Radd, from the planet Zenn-La. He wanted to save his lover, Shalla-Bal, and his world, so he bargained with Galactus. Here, it's Shalla-Bal who sacrifices herself to become the Silver Surfer, Herald of the World-Devourer Galactus. We saw their kid but we didn't see Norrin in this movie. In the comics, one of the characters with the oldest and strongest attachments to the Fantastic Four is Peter Parker. He was very VERY close friends with Johnny for many years, and was literally and repeatedly a member of the FF when they were down members and needed help, and has worked closely with them many times. 616-Reed sadly did not support Peter the way MCU Tony did, because Reed is severely lacking in emotional intelligence. They call in She-Hulk and Wolverine as alternative members sometimes when they need help. Peter was at the top of that list (by a mile) for a very long time. I don't recommend watching the older FF movies. They have bright spots, but they also do some things so terribly badly that it will mislead you in the future. E.g. the two live-action Dr. Dooms we've seen this century were both absolutely awful, no disrespect to the actors. The writing changed the character dramatically for the worse, to the extent that it's truly and sincerely NOT the same character at all as the guy holding (for decades) a high spot on the all-time best villains lists. We're going to see the MCU take on Dr. Doom soon, and the recent live-action bullshit will only distract. Ignore the previous FF movies, and instead move on to Wonder Man, X-Men '97, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. All are top-tier experiences that shed light on the multiverse and what might come soon to our precious main timeline.

Phillip Arthur

Wym? Lacking emotional intelligence, Reed Richards is by one of the smartest men alive!!! And 616 in the MCU doesn’t have a Reed Richards tbh as far as I know unless you’re talking about Mr. Fantastic from the comics!!!

AzraRillian

Unfortunately, the other Fantastic Four films are generally widely disliked. The 2015 one was especially hit by a lot of issues with changes of directors and reshoots, which you can feel in the unfocused story. The first first two FF4 movies from the mid 2000's aren't absolutely terrible movies, they're just bad "fantastic four" movies, in that they change a lot of key aspects of some characters, and unfortunately did a terrible disservice to Jessica Alba as Sue Storm.

Armando Castillo

One of my top five mcu films! As a fan of the comics I was so happy they got these characters right! Marvels first family. Apart of me wishes you saw the original films to get a sense of their main villain Dr. Doom who hails from Latveria but those past movies never did him justice unfortunately. He is a super genius like mr fantastic and considered in comics to be one of the best villains ever. After Johnathan Majors controversy marvel had to pivot to a bigger threat than Kang and that is Doctor Doom...so we can't wait for avengers doomsday I had hoped you looked at the big marvel book u got to look up doctor Doom and should have Galactus backstory

Ed Scoglio

Such a fun movie and I loved the retro yet futuristic vibe! Very excited to see what comes next with these characters! I think it's worth checking out the first 2 Fantastic 4 movies. They have a campy fun and they are a good little time capsule of the mid 2000's comic book movie boom. The 2015 Fan4stic is truly awful. It's an AMAZING cast. Miles Teller, Michael B Jordan, Kate Mara, Toby Kebbell, Jamie Bell. Great cast, but it is just a terrible terrible movie.

Jordan Johnson

Great reaction Jax I hope you check out X men 97 you would enjoy that and friendly neighborhood spider man

Phillip Arthur

I agree with you man, Yes she has to look at X-Men’ 97 and Marvel Zombies!!! Can’t wait for her to see all the upcoming Marvel projects!! ❤️🔥🔥🔥

Phillip Arthur

I agree with you man this movie was fantastic!!! ❤️

Robin Wise

Emotional intelligence is not the same as basic intelligence. The 616 IS the comics, as I noted; the MCU is Earth-199999.

Connor Vide

Great reaction! You finally know the title of the next avengers movie and when it releases! I’ve been waiting for you to find out Wonderman was great abd actually just came out in January! It’s very recent Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes out in July and Doomsday is December. Now just Eyes of Wakanda, Marvel Zombies, and Wonderman before you’re all caught up I’d love for you to also watch X-Men 97, and the new spider-man cartoon that came out 2025!

Connor Vide

You’re totally right about Galactus being a tragic villain This movie is pretty comic accurate in regards to him He was a man from a previous universe. He the last surviving living thing from that universe. So when his universe died and the next one was formed, he was brought into it, turned into Galactus. And cursed with eternal hunger He’s more powerful than Thanos but he’s more of a force of nature. He’s required for cosmic balance. If he dies, the universe would be out of balance. But obviously heroes still need to make sure he doesn’t eat earth. But he’s cursed. It’s tragic. And while silver surfer in the comics is a man named Norrin Radd, the origin story for this one Shalla-Ball is pretty much the same as the comic one. Except in the comics Shalla-Ball is Norrin’s wife The fantastic four are my favourite comic character and I was crying tears of joy in the theatres just in awe that I was seeing a movie so perfect There are 3 previous F4 movies. I enjoy the 2005 one. But the 2007 one and the 2015 one I don’t like and most people dont to be honest But I’d love to see your take with fresh eyes if you ever want to watch them

Connor Vide

Emotional intelligence isn’t the same as intelligence. Reed Richards is the smartest man in the entire universe. But he’s understanding if emotions lacks. That’s what emotional intelligence meana

Connor Vide

I’m happy! I was honestly expecting Friday since on the schedule for this week it was on the furthest right, and normal she puts it furthest left. So a Tuesday release is great!

Phillip Arthur

Ik I’ve been waiting for her to see the next avengers movie!!!

Stephen Hert

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Franklin Richards is the strongest metahuman we've met so far in the MCU and he's just a BABY. Franklin is insane. I can't wait until we get to see his powers in future MCU projects.

Sam

As someone who didnt read comics and only found this world thanks to them starting the MCU, I am always glad to see comic fans loving these movies and the creators staying close to them. I really like this movie aswell, its so heartfelt!
