>>212754432>No one has EVER given a shit about F4 and nothing can EVER make people give a shit.Untrue. They were genuinely hot shit back in the day, and they're called Marvel's "first family" for a reason, they were a weird transitional state from sci-fi and horror comics to cape shit as it would be known.
And there are plenty of decent f4 stories over the years. I'd also argue that they've hit a cultural osmosis point like Superman, Batman, and Spiderman where even you mom will have heard of them.
I think they made a mistake by jumping into galactus right off the bat, I just want a fucking fantastic four movie where reed detects some weird seismic readings under manhattan, and as they explore they discover that mole man has a plan to sink the whole city into the earth and rule over it, mole man things, and the story is just a fun adventure mystery that isn't afraid of a little camp.
You've got rubbernigger and rock-lad, there is an inherent goofiness and so being a little lighthearted or campy isn't going to hurt you, as long as you don't become obnoxious about it.
