I don't disagree with your conclusion - once every ten years seems fine. F4 have had their origin told more recently than that, though. And between older movies, cartoons, comics, and word-of-mouth, I think we would be hard pressed to find very many people (who would watch a Superman movie) who wouldn't already be familiar with (at least the basics of) his origin.
Well, there are photons in nebulas, so all is forgiven!
Numerous witch and devil references have been cited in this thread from each of the episodes thus far, including Agnes' mention that her and Ralph's anniversary is June 2nd - which is also the anniversary of the first witch trial in Salem, MA in 1692. So, either we're being magnificently trolled by the writers (which is totally possible), or Mephisto and/or witch-stuff is involved.
I did, and somehow lived to tell the tale. But yes: it was really, really bad. Stunningly so.
Same here. I applaud them for going with the Ultimate Fantastic Four as their starting point since the older tropes from the original (cold war space race, older scientist paired with a relative ingénue as his girlfriend) are less relevant. But that's its sole redeeming quality as far as I can tell.
It had a few good actors in it, so that's something - but not enough to say "in the right hands, this cast would have been perfect!". I guess the accident that give them their powers is more from the Ultimate storyline, and I'm cool with that conceptually, although definitely not in execution.
