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.

@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in the comics, but The names of the Fantastic Four, like Mr.Fantastic, Human Torch, and the Thing, might seem cheesy or outdated to modern audiences.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 The names of the Fantastic 4 characters came out in the Modern Age so it's considered outdated by Digital Audiences. 😉😉

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.

Fans take issue with how Dr. Doom is inaccurately portrayed here. He’s actually a dictator of a fictional country called Latvaria, he excels in many talents, especially science & magic arts. 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. Doom genuinely believes he can save all the world’s problems if he’s the one ruling all of it, but his ego and perfectionist keep getting in the way. Another of his goals is also to rescue his gypsie mother from hell.

[@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.

also Mary the thing and hulk actually fought hands and are friends .

As others have probably mentioned, this film was before the MCU. The MCU didn't begin until "Iron Man."

[@KimiF17954]

Jess Alba looked great in this; this was better than the newer version.

[@ryanstauffer119]

Now we just have to wait for the MCU version next year

[@Vyan00]

This movie was done first before Chris became Cap. Plus it's technically NOT in the official MCU, it's in it's own universe. So shit happens.

[@BatmanFan76]

This movie was definitely an interesting adaptation of Marvel’s first superhero family. And it would have been the best superhero movie of the year… if Batman Begins didn’t premiere around the same summer. Whoopsies! 😅

[@acatwood11]

So this movie came out LONG before the MCU was a thing, when Marvel movies existed in separate universes.

[@Narutoanime16g]

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.

Ben turned into an orange rock monster who has no ears, only four fingers on each hand, same count as his toes but still had normal teeth and its weird that he doesnt have a belly button?? 😂

[@darkdg4106]

The real life explanation is, this movie came out long before the MCU was a thing, just like the first X-Men and Spider-Man movies did. The MCU officially started with Iron-man and all the movies that followed in that series of films.

This is the second film adaptation of the Fantastic Four. The first one was never released, but bootleg copies can be found of the film on the Internet.

The MCU didn't existed yet, so this is not part of the MCU. But the MCU Fantastic Four will come at July 25, 2025 and the cast are amazing. Pedro Pascal is Reed Richards Vanessa Kirby is Sue Storm Joseph Quinn is Johnny Storm Ebon Moss Bachrach is Ben Grimm Ralph Ineson is Galactus Julia Garner is the female version of the silver surfer, Shalla-Bal Paul Walter Hauser John Malkovich Natasha Lyonne The surprising actor for Victor Von Doom/ Dr.Doom is RDJ This take place in a alternate universe where everything is the futuristic 60's style world, so it is not our MCU universe but they will come to our MCU universe in the 2 new Avengers movies Doomsday and Secret Wars

Technically they already have, with Dr Strange 2

Rapidly cooling hot metal will cause a thing called tempering. The metal molecules will take a crystalline structure, making it hard and rigged but also brittle in most cases. So Doom isn't dead but he is "frozen" as heis body is now un able to flex and bend.

[@MaryCherryOfficial]

So cool!

[@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.

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

Dr Doom is very high up there as one of the greatest and most evil villains ever put to paper/screen. And Julian definitely done a fantastic [see what I did there] job of portraying him. The only negative to his role as Dr Doom, is his powers. In the film and the next one, they make out that electricity is his only power. His real powers in comics and animations is magic [that he had passed down to him by his mum] that he combines with his genuis level intelligence.

8:26 you are clamped down to the board; they glanced over the point in the helicopter where they clamped everything down before they jumped. FYI: they jump from the helicopter to keep the snow undisturbed, as landing on the snow would take a BUNCH of clearing out the snow so the helicopter won’t get stuck.

The reason this is hated is because Dr. Doom is Nothing like his comic book counterpart which is a thousand times better and lots of people's favorite villain from Marvel Comics

the actor for doom always struck me as good at being a darker character who descends into madness. fantastic 4, in my opinion, is in the same category as spawn. was it a great movie, no, was it entertaining enough and enjoyable, yes.
