@@6tiple6ix6afia "thought of as less" I don't think you actually read the comics, because Reed sees Doom for exactly the super genius he is, and is merely disappointed in him for using his intelligence to be the "unstoppable conqueror" that other people see him as. After all, Doom has even saved people Reed care about, why wouldn't he appreciate and respect him? He even healed his facial scarring when given the chance.

Just wanted to say what an incredible video this is. When talking about super hero comics, people have a tendency to only talk about the most significant arcs and plot beats without discussing the characters in any real depth, and when talking about characters with such an incredible legacy as the Fantastic Four. Not only is simply talking about their entire history a step up, but doing it while contextualizing their adventures within the industry *and* while being funny is a genuinely incredible skill. From the impeccable Stan Lee and Jack Kirby issues that started it all to Waid's (imho) criminally underrated run, you've done an incredible job *really* talking about what makes my favorite super hero team so great. And because some of the more technical elements of this video blew my mind: -- Those voice actors are all perfect??? All of them nailed the multiple roles they were given and perfectly brought these scenes to life -- B-Mask videos always have incredibly editing, but the *flow* from panel to panel without relying on the dialogue beats in the speech bubbles was a *phenomenal* decision from a pacing standpoint, I don't even wanna think about how many pages and pages you had to download and edit, let alone the hours and hours and hours of getting those moments just right -- Jack Kirby's splash pages!!!! Those will always have a special place in my heart for how spectacular and quintessentially FF they are -- The bits about Mobius SS and the Imp*ssible M*n were great; I see you are a man of culture as well -- This is very specific taste, but mentioning the brief Marvel Zombies arc that cropped up in the comics with Black Panther and Storm? Genuinely one of the most pleasant surprises of the video, I really liked that run and those issues in particular when they came out! -- I knew as soon as parts of the Waid run appeared that Reed's monologue would be *somewhere* in the video. Thank you for both highlighting why Mr. Fantastic's character remains compelling and at the same time addressing the colossal mistakes made during Marvel's Civil War. It means a lot to a long-time fan to see someone properly articulate why these characters and their dynamics aren't as disconnected as first blush might lead some to believe. -- Acapella was A++ In short, thank you (and the voice actors, ofc, ofc, ofc) for making the best Fantastic Four movie of all time! That Jem movie deal is right around the corner, I'm sure ;)

I can’t believe it’s taken me three years to discover this video, but I’m certainly glad I did! For so long I’ve felt self-conscious about liking the Fantastic Four because of people’s attitude that they’re “mainstream as hell” or as was said at the start of the video “vanilla”. However this video really highlighted what I love about the team and why I love them, and you know what? I’m not going to be ashamed anymore to say I like the Fantastic Four! Honestly I think their failure at expanding into other media has painted a lot of people’s views on them. People seem to think it’s the fault of the source material and not the people handling it not fully understanding the core and heart of said source material, a point which again is brought up beautifully here! I don’t know if you still read comments on a three year old video but you sir have my upmost respect for not just the subject of this video but the effort that went into making it! Made me proud to call myself a Fantastic Four fan again! Also, side note: Mark Waid making the FF's perception of God to be Jack Kirby gets a chef’s kiss from me! That is simply brilliant! Fantastic even!

“Once upon a time, there was a very arrogant man who did something very stupid.” That crushed me. This is what makes him superior to Doom. The ability to injure his own ego in order to evaluate his actions and improve himself. Reed is arrogant, but he’s incredibly noble to acknowledge that and cast it aside for the greater good. To think, he began describing his origin the way we, his fans, would; that he was a genius and something incredible happened. To hear himself describe it so unglamorous, self-deprecating and down-to-earth is crushing, but such an amazing insight into his psyche and what makes him one of Marvel’s greatest heroes.

Even though the two stories are very different, I can't help but see a little bit of FF in One Piece. A band of misfits who'll get into arguments over the tiniest things, who often goof off and have absolutely no inclinations to hide who they really are, and are always excited about the next big adventure. Together, the Straw Hats all learned to be better people, overcame massive insecurities that have haunted them since childhood, and grew as a family. It makes me wonder if Oda has ever read Fantastic Four, and how much he's taken from it if so. Hell, even the villains often reflect the more negative aspects of the crew, and are themselves incredibly tragic people in a lot of cases.

It's so good to hear a really honest, and un-jaded appraisal of Marvel's First Family because I feel like, somewhere along the way, it became cool to hate them and I think it's a testament to the subtlety of how people like Lee, Waid and Hickman presented the thematical material that so many people miss the forest for the trees. Also, holy crap were all of those comic moments in this video well-done. The voice-acting was spot on (especially for Reed, oh my god), and from something epic and bombastic like Future Franklin calling on Galactus (goosebumps) to Impossible Man's fun little asides to Reed's emotional monologue with Valeria, you've genuinely brought these moments to life and if you wanted to do FF motion comics, I think people wouldn't mind that, jus' sayin' But yeah tl;dr, fantastic video, pure joy to watch, comic scenes were excellent, and I'm inspired to go back and finish reading the Waid run 'cos I only read the first 7 or so issues when I was a kid

Thank you so much! I agree, people have been poking fun at the FF for years and often in the same ways, and that sadly became much more pervasive than their actual stories and adventures- I think many of those people actually regret this now, judging by the heel turns. I really hope I can help put a dent in that perception, though I imagine the films will always be what swings the pendulum now. Here's hoping the video has some reach before the next one gets truly underway. A motion comic would be fun, but a big part of me would just want to make original audio dramas or adventures at that point if I ever had the resources. However I've loved bringing key scenes in my head to life for the FF, and frankly I'd be open to doing that again for other characters too. (Thwip. Snikt. Crackle of lightning over Baron Zemo's face.)

Superheroes, Marvel, and comics in general wouldn't exist how they are now without the world's greatest comic magazine! I love the team dynamic of Stan Lee. It's sad how Reed was ruined years later. He is supposed to be a kind, brave guy that while not perfect, would do anything to save his family.

I know that feel, I am a huge Shazam fan and until the recent movie I always felt neglected in outside media, hell I was one of the few people that was annoyed at Marvel forcing them to drop the Captain Marvel name even though Billy came decades before not only Carol but Mar-vell himself. But in respect to the Fantastic 4 they are similar in that they shaped the medium and had a stablished legacy that pretty much had no representation for so long people don't know how important they were (outside of maybe a couple of decent adaptations in animation for both cases).

He'll always be Captain Marvel to us. 😌 Just wish they kept to calling him it in the comics, like they were allowed to, and left the comic title to be named Shazam... Pretty sure that's how it went, they can use the name inside the book, just not on the cover 🤔 Though i guess DC PR decided that was too confusing for consumers and just went with Shazam instead...which kind of makes it hard for Billy to tell people his name without...well.. 🥲

Thank you for doing justice to my favorite superhero team who for 60 years have been great. The Fantastic Four deserve so much love and I hope that Marvel studios can do what the other films have failed to do: tell the story of the four in a way that honors them. Because they are so much more than the team who has Doom, Skrulls and all the cosmic Marvel stuff. They are a family and a kickass one at that. :)

Rewatching this and that last scene with Reed telling the story of their lives to a baby Valeria Richards really hit me so hard. He really regrets what he put his friends through but despite everything they still love him and assure them what they are and have right now wouldn’t be the same without him. 🥹 I really wish the MCU FF would reach this type of emotional weight. Yet, seeing what the MCU is doing currently? I highly doubt it… I think the FF movie will be very safe at best with a few nodes to the comics, but idk if it’ll have the heart and soul like you demonstrated here. Regardless, this video will definitely be the definitive FF movie in my eyes. 😊

I've sort of realized how interesting they actually are, although I never really read their comics just bits of their cameos in other comics. Something about them, even to a "non-fan" like me makes them somewhat appealing. Like it's a untraditional group of superheroes who happens to also bond with each other like a family. It's not like the justice league where it's a bunch of heroes who became close friends. They even have an interesting dynamic with each other.

Beautiful. In under two hours of video, and apparently two years of research, you managed to capture the essence of what has kept the Fantastic Four so beloved nearly 60 years since their debut. And you're right. It really is the optimism that keeps them so engaging. It's certainly what has kept me a fan to this very day. Spider-Man, the X-Men, and now (thanks to the MCU) the Avengers may be more marketable with today's movie-based audience. But it all started with the Four. They have, and always shall be, Marvel's First Family and the World's Greatest Comics Magazine.
