This is not a good representation of doctor doom. Doctor doom is one of the best characters that has not had a good representation on screen. Think of a cross between doctor strange, Ironman, and Thanos. This is the reason people did not like this movie. The mask is iconic and should be his face pretty much all the time. Doom should have a much greater presence and almost be the protagonist.

People didn't like it because the plot wasn't that strong.

The mcu with Captain America was in disney ownership. These marvel characters, along with a few, are fox. That's what separated the characters, such as the torch and captain America. Disney bought them out and made him captain America instead. Remember, people have been paying thousands and supporting characters before the 60s. Passing on the love of the content.

@MaryCherryOfficial Because you wondered about where this is in the MCU; you have to realize that when this film came out in 2005, there was no MCU. Marvel had their comic book properties split between several film studios. - 20th Century Fox had X-Men, Daredevil, and Fantastic Four - Universal had The Incredible Hulk; in large part because they obtained the rights back in the 70’s to make The Incredible Hulk TV Series with Bill Bixby & Lou Ferrigno. - Columbia Pictures had Spider-Man - New Line Cinema had Blade It wasn’t until 2007, when Marvel; under Kevin Fiege had the idea of building “a universe” where each story intersects and connects with each other.

36:21 I understand what you were saying and respect your opinion, but they did change the name of invisible girl to invisible woman in the comics, but The names of the Fantastic Four, like Mr.Fantastic, Human Torch, and the Thing, might seem cheesy or outdated to modern audiences. However, these names were chosen by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the 1960s, a time when comic books were more lighthearted and focused on sci-fi and adventure. The names reflect the characters' powers and personalities: • Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards) is a nod to his incredible stretching abilities and his leadership role. • Human Torch (Johnny Storm) references his ability to generate flames from his body. • The Thing (Ben Grimm) is a self-deprecating name, as he struggles with his new, rock-like appearance. These names have become iconic and are deeply rooted in comic book history. They might not be as edgy or modern as some superhero names today, but they evoke a sense of nostalgia and classic heroism. the names into context and show that they were chosen to reflect the characters' powers and personalities, even if they might seem old-fashioned now.

[@MegaJetty1]

Technically, this isn't a "modern" audience, it's a "digital" audience. The Modern Age ended when the internet took over and then it became the Digital Age. The names of the Fantastic 4 characters came out in the Modern Age so it's considered outdated by Digital Audiences. 😉😉

This was pre-MCU and the rights to the Fantastic Four was with 20th Century Fox at the time.

One reason for this movie to be criticised was for the portrayal of Dr Doom. It's not the actor's fault, it's because it was not at all comic accurate. Dr Doom along with Magneto are the most popular and fan favourite supervillains in Marvel Comics. Only Magneto got justice in film media.

And let's not forget the latest announcement about Dr Doom.

[@TheRawrnstuff]

@@Crim50nDynam0 Yeah but that's kinda the point. The popularity of comic book characters has _exploded_ "in the current times". It's insincere to claim "X *is* more popular than Y" based on how things were several decades ago. If you include the fans that the movies have brought in, the relative popularity of the characters we haven't really seen recently _must_ have gone down. You can't convince me the Fantastic 4 is more popular than Spider-Man without some serious data to back that claim up. Don't get me wrong, I like Dr. Doom more than I like Green Goblin, but my likes don't determine what is more popular universally. And Magneto certainly isn't the only villain that has been done justice to. Even Ultron was a lot more interesting character in the MCU than in the comics.

He wasn’t on the space station with the Four, he has his own origin from being born to gypsies and rising to become ruler of his country, but still has a rivalry with Reed Richards. Doom accidentally damaged his face because he put his metal mask on while it was still hot.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

This film is very much a modernized take on the F4 origin story but still does an okay job at translating it into the 2000s. Beginning with Fantastic Four #1 (1961) the F4 launched into Space during an experimental space flight for the government. At the last minute the government cancelled the flight so Reed, pilot Ben Grimm, along with Susan Storm, and her brother, Johnny Storm sneaked into the launch site at night and blasted off into space. in space they were exposed to cosmic rays, which gave them super human powers and abilities, crash landing back on earth where they discovered their new powers. Very much themed around space travel and the Space Race of the 1960s. They become public figures as one of the few hero teams who's real identify are known to the public. For the film they changed it to a Space Station owned by Doom with the overall origin very much centred around Victor Von Doom unlike the comics. Doom himself is heavily altered for this movie depicting him as a CEO of a major organization who's who gained the power to absorb and manipulate electricity. in the comics Doom and Reed were rivals in college. He was disfigured at the hands of his own machine, though the disfigure was very minor but to Doom it made him "imperfect". He returned to his home country of Latveria and became their dictator, crafting an iron man like suit covered by a green robe and a mask that hides his face. His powers come from the suit itself rather than from some kind of inner power caused by an accident. He also ventures into magic as well but most of the time he's more Science based. So Doom was not apart of the accident that gave the F4 their powers in the comics and there's zero reason to really connect him to any of that. I'm super excited for Fantastic Four: Next Steps releasing next year. Looks to fully embrace the 1960s Space Age themes of the F4 so that's super exciting.

[@Echostation3T8]

Ms. Cherry: There was no MCU prior to Iron Man: Marvel titles did not connect to others.

[@silverjago]

the villain's name is dr. doom and the answer is simple: multiverse. In one universe he is a human torch and in another he is Captain America.

[@vinnycordeiro]

Just like Ryan Reynolds is two different versions of Deadpool and the Green Lantern...

My thought precisely… ”just wait till you see who portrays Doom in the MCU and that will give you something worth scratching your head for” :D

The Fantastic 4 is the first marvel family that Stan Lee ever made along with Spiderman joining once or twice. Chris as Johnny is my fav & Dr Doom owns a whole country in the comics & other iterations he has diplomatic immunity

[@LordVolkov]

Spiderman showing up in a FF suit with his spidermask on is still always funny to me.

[@Narutoanime16g]

@@LordVolkovthey also had him wear a bag as a mask one time right ?😂

[@LordVolkov]

@@Narutoanime16g I think that was Peter's choice because he didn't have his mask on hand. But still a top Spidey FF moment 👍 Reed is also the one who helped diagnose the sonic weakness of the symbiote suits with Peter. I don't know if that's going to be part of Secret War, but I'm hoping 🤞

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

@@Narutoanime16g This was during his Spider-man's Identity Crisis story arc. The storyline where Spider-Man was formed for the murder of a small-time crook and thus had to go into hiding. But people wanted to still fight crime so he creates four other costumes with different crime-fighting personae in order to stay under the radar. Why not just create a single new costume? Well it would be too suspicious if a single hero appeared just after the disappearance of Spider-Man so Peter created the illusion that a whole team of hero's appeared who in reality was just Peter Parker. I'm pretty sure Peter went to the F4 right away during the start of this story but couldn't wear his Spier-Man as he was wanted. So they gave him a F4 suit but had no masks to give as they don't hide their identities. So Peter grabbed a bag and used it as a mask.

I loved your reaction to the snowboarding scene. I love snowboarding and the song that was playing was Noots by Sum 41, one of my favorite bands. So that scene was like all of my favorite things packed into one awesome scene.

[@ericstarkey551]

Fun fact, the fantastic fours powers are based on their personallities. Mr. Fantastic always reaching for the stars, invisible girl is shy, the thing always putting up a hard shell t defend him.self, and human torch is always a hot head.

[@dracoargentum9783]

Also the four powers represent the four elements: Reed is water, Sue is air, and the other two are obvious.

No one can beat this movie? Shit, even back in the day people were meh on this and the sequel. The cast itself was fine (tho Jessica Alba was the weak link), but they movies and stories around them were pretty wack.

[@roystoyscomics1361]

In the comics Susan Storm the Invisible Woman is a blonde. Every iteration so far in the movies has also been a blonde. Roger Corman's Fantastic Four (1994) - Rebecca Staab, Jessica Alba in Fantastic Four (2005) and Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) and Kate Mara in Josh Trank's Fantastic Four (2015). Plus Vanessa Kirby in Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 😂 In the U.S. Jiffy Pop is a pan of popcorn kernels that you heat over a stove causing the kernels to pop. 😂 Doctor Doom's most distinctive feature is his iron mask which he uses to hide his disfigured face. 😮

[@Jason-hm1sc]

I was so praying they would keep her blonde in the 2025 remake. I'm still upset they got rid of redheaded Mary Jane. Don't get me wrong Zendaya is a talented actress but Mary Jane was always the gorgeous redhead girl next door I grew up reading about in the comics.

[@officersquidman]

If you're going to watch Daredevil, try to watch the director's cut! That's the version that's an actual movie!!!

[@HeihachiMishima48]

Both are good. But yeah the DC is better.

[@KennyMrTerrellThisIsTheWay2024]

Mary, this was my first marvel movie to see Stan lee !!! I'm happy you finally watch it with you can see him again after seeing his cameos from other marvel movies.

[@eaglescott17]

9:50 One thing I really appreciate about this scene is that when he says he can't look at her and she yells at him, he immediately pivots to telling her to look at her hands. Instead of it needlessly going back and forth and more yelling. The Fantastic 4 are basically the 4 elements. Susan is Air, with invisibility and telekinesis. Johnny is Fire. Ben is Earth (rock). Reed's elasticity makes him Water. And then there's Victor as Metal.

Robert Downey Jr was recently confirmed to be cast as Doctor Doom in the MCU. He joins Chris Evans among others in playing multiple Marvel roles, MCU or not.

He's still playing Tony Stark. He's just from an alternate universe were Tony became Doctor Doom.

It's not really an MCU movie, more a pre-MCU Marvel movie.

[@auric180]

That’s the beauty about series, films, etc. Even before they start talking about the multiverse. That’s how I treated every show I watch / read unless it’s confirmed the same universe. 😊 Also same actors can act multiple roles in the same series / franchise. Star Trek is a big example. 🙇🏻‍♂️
