This week on Comics and Chronic we discuss the 2005 Fantastic Four movie! With a star studded cast including Chris Evans, Jessica Alba, Loan Gruffudd, Michael Chiklis, and Julian McMahon this might be the gold standard, or only standard, for Fantastic Four casting. Early 2000’s Marvel appears to be very anti-corporate sentiment. Does this movie actually deserve the hate it gets? Epically when it’s way better than the 2015 Fantastic 4. However, this movies does have its flaws such as reducing Sue Storm to mere eye candy when she’s not even that kind of character in the comics. Jake would sell out Anthony & Cody to be with Jessica Alba. Why is this Dr. Doom just Electro from Amazing Spider-Man 2? This movie does have a banger soundtrack. Is there a cool way to do Mr. Fantastic’s powers? Once the movie starts to find its footing it ends. Is it past time we discuss the Thomas Jane Punisher? The cheesy vibe of the movie matches the energy of FF. Should Reed Richards be called Mr. Cucktastic? The Fantastic 4 is really a reflection of the dynamic of us on the podcast. Camp Nowhere is a 90’s classic that gave one of the us our earliest boners. Tune in today to find out who!
