They're disconnected from the world they protect. That is the depth.We're shown this through both Johnny and Ben and they're interactions with people outside their circle. Johnny looks uncomfortable when Sue teases him about dating, because he yearns for space, and is thus attracted to the Surfer when she shows up.Ben going back to his old neighbourhood and talking to Natasha Lyonne while minimal, still does a huge amount of work in painting the picture of what they're going through. Having this is the main (or only) interaction of our heroes with their past lives only serves to highlight it.We're shown, not told that the accident in space that gave them their powers has also isolated them. This is also important as it speaks to the closeness and family aspects of the four characters.I agree that this film is laser focused on the fantastic four and little else, I just think that this is a strength of the film, not a weakness.</blockquote>
