So it looks like we’re in for another decade of MCU films cock slapping DC movies, huh?

Kino or slop?

Sup, /tv/? I just got back from an early screening of Fantastic Four (2025) and let me tell you—three words: hella f*cking epic.

I went in expecting mid-tier MCU slop and came out reborn. Pedro Pascal as Reed? Peak dadcore. Vanessa Kirby giving Invisible MILF energy. Joseph Quinn’s Johnny Storm is literally that guy. And Ebon Moss-Bachrach? Bro is Ben Grimm IRL. You feel the rock.

Ralph Ineson as Galactus sounds like Satan smoked a pack of gravel and became a cosmic entity. Terrifying. Julia Garner also shows up and does things. Paul Walter Hauser kills every line like it owes him money. Whole cast vibing.

It’s got the weird Kirby energy, the emotional core, and the punchy action. Not trying to be Avengers 6. Just trying to be weird and cool and it works. Even the visual effects didn’t look like Fortnite cutscenes this time.

This ain’t your 2005 “Chris Evans in a towel” FF. This is a real movie with soul, jokes, and VFX budget that wasn’t funneled into reshoots at the last minute. Peak Phase 5 vibes. Might be my favorite Marvel thing since Infinity War. No cap.

July 25. Mark it. Assemble your squad. Watch Marvel’s First Family finally win.

Fourth time's the charm?
