They actually had Reed say that he doesnt agree with the law, but hes following it necayse its "The Law" and you always have to follow the law, and doing otherwise just ends up bad for you.  Reed Richards: the man who stole a government spacecraft because he didnt trust the government with it in his first appearance.  The man who, just a year or two ago, wouldnt let the government take his children to a "safer" place than the Baxter Building because he didnt trust thier ability to keep his childrens location secret (he was proven right when the fake location of his children was obliterated by missles a few minutes after his children were supposed to have arrived.)  The same man who took control of Latveria himself and refused to let the US have because he didnt trust the government with Dooms arsenal of superweapons.  But now he is advocating the government know the identity and location of every single superheroes loved one in the entire country, apparently not caring that not everyone has a multimillion dollar state of the art security system at home to pretect thier Aunt Mays.  And if they dont sign up for permanent unquestionable government service he is throwing these former friends and comrades into the Negative Zone for the rest of thier lives. Its bad enough with Stark, but hes always been a megalomaniacal control freak and a dick, (but even he ha fought against the government on many occasions, and he is acting fatally out of character as well) but Reed Richards was always one of the Goodest people in Marvel.  I had really grown to love the character over the last few years, as FF was one of the few comics I could still stomach.Apparently someone asked Millar what was up with this at some comic convention panel recently, and from what Ive heard his answer was: "he changed his mind."And then thiers the whole thing with Sue leaving him quietly in the night in Cvil War 4, while in the Fantastic Four comic she flips out and blows a hole through the cieling before she leaves.  I thought they were supposed to have some kind of editor to make sure things like this didnt happpen?  Oh wait, Joe Quesada, right.  I guess hes just upset he hasnt been able to kill Mary Jane yet, must be stressing him out too much to do his job.  I just want Dr Strange to come out of seclusion and erase a whiole bunch of minds, and leave Tony Stark and Reed Richards with the intellects of retarded 2 year olds.    Gaah.  Sorry for the rant, Ive just been so fed up with this stupid Civil War fiasco, especially since it could have been done intelligently and interestingly instead of making it just another excuse to have people fight each other.  And Millar, who people seem to gush over all the time, just further proves to me Im justified in thinking hes a hack.  It seems like I cant pick up a comic nowadays without him or Bendis or Morrison or Austen being involved in it, and they all make me want to wretch.    But Hell, if I cant get upset and rant over a geeky subject on a mesage board about a geeky subject, then what is the world comign too? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />(The only thing Im happy about in this entire mess is Captain America.  Go Cap!!  Always been my favorite after Spidey.)</blockquote>
