Spoilers Fantastic Four (Spoilers)

I feel certain that there was meant to be more to those relationships but that stuff was cut for length..

although there were a couple of 'gaps' I liked the length and quick pace of the movie, I think that got in the needed highlights and relationship nods to tell the story (especially for Sue and Ben) without getting distracted - and suffering the MCUs faults.
Johnny was perhaps a bit underdeveloped in that regard, but having him not be the 'hot' batchelor playboy was kinda refreshing and Reed got his emotional character moments via his relationship with Sue. I never thought of them as anymore isolated than a typical urban family.

Apparently, there is a prequel comic out too, that gives more background on Sues connection to Moleman and similar relationships - has anyone seen it?

I also liked the pace. It felt right. And even though I think that the isolation from the world effect that those editing decisions helped create was not entirely intentional* it still worked.

Some other random thoughts in no particular order:

Pedro Pascal's stubble. He's considered one of the sexiest men alive (and I see it.) I don't think he needs tips.

We do see Red Ghost! In a literal blink and miss it shot in the closing credits. And it's a wide shot. I had no idea it was John Malkovich until I read @Rabulias post above.

I loved seeing Sue prove herself the most powerful of the Four. I mean, we all know it. It just rarely makes it into the non-comics.

A shot I would have liked to have seen - when Galactus gets his balance back and he and Sue are at an impasse, Ben helps by knocking down the building G-man is hanging onto. I'd have liked to have seen him grab G's big ol' foot and flip him, in a homage to the opening credits from the 1968 cartoon. In the cartoon it's a teeny tiny Ben doing it to Doom, but whatever.




*at the time of initial shooting. I don't doubt that when everyone was in the edit suite and making the cuts that they were perfectly cogniscant of what effect they were having.

For what it was, the pace was good. I have my problems with the movie, but it definitely cruised.

Reed and Johnny should always have facial hair.

Ben's beard in this was also pretty good and just funny to think about the mechanics of.

You gotta be careful with Sue because people want to turn her into Kim Suskind with her powers really quickly. But the movie did a fairly good job with showing off the forcefields and how powerful they are.

He might be like me - even when I'm freshly shaven, I still have a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow. Dark beard + pale skin.

He shaved it for some movie and said he hated how he looked.
