    That is like this Ghost Rider variant except with a horse instead of a donkey and a motorcycle instead of a surfboard: https://tinyurl.com/Ghost-Rider-MCU

    That's the whole point of the multiverse saga; they're going to kill all other universes and squish them into one timeline. The Fox properties are the impetus behind this. At the same time the soft-reboot the existing MCU so they can recast characters. In two years it will all be one big happy family.

    Of course, time travel and multiverses are staples of sci-fi storytelling (which the Marvel comics are at their core), so you're always going to have to deal with it to some degree.

    Frankly, with the way they've managed things post-Endgame, they should let the continuity fracture rather than funnel All the Things into Feige. The man('s commitee) is overwhelmed and like good ol 60's Soviet Planning, it gave out to 70's complexity when its people got a little richer and wanted more choices.

    Just spread the money all over the place and then spend 150M+ on an acceptable sequel rather than hiring these random directors to helm 250M+ projects before the reshoots...

    Once the continuity is there, the blueprint is already devised by the comics. They have continuity experts that vet everything to make sure it either fits together or doesn’t interrupt a big overarching storyline. There’s no need for one person to run it all. Indeed, that becomes a bottleneck.

    If they find people who were passionate about the material like they did the first 5-7 years, I think they'll be alright.

    It wasn't all great (Ben Kingsley trolling as the Mandarin ) but at least it felt like the creators wanted to see stuff they saw on paper feel the same way in live action.

    silver surfer with the same problems as the 2000s version. the cgi looks it's stuck in the 90s and the animation moves like gumby.

    Saw it today. Good movie, well paced, good action and good chemistry. The whole 1960s vibe was cool. Galactus was awesome.

    Not an origin movie at all. It drops you in after they’re well established and the origin is done through a brief ‘flashback’.

    Best Marvel movie since the last Spidey. Granted, I haven’t seen cap 4 or Thunderbolts yet but I expect them to be inferior.

    Saw it last night, enjoy it but I'm always more predisposed to Sci-Fi leaning story's. The action was cool, liked the whole Jetson pseudo retro futuristic approach. Cast was solid but I thing Pascal was miscasted, just never bought him as the smartest person in the world. Vanessa Kirby on the other hand was great, wish they'd given spent a bit more time with The Thing, liked their approach with him. Story was alright, pretty straightforward overall, probably the second best Fantastic Four movie behind The Incredibles..... B

    I guess I'll be the dissenting voice. It was okay to me. I was surprised I didn't like it that much, I really thought the individual elements (retro feel, stand-alone, etc.) were cool but when put together, I was actually bored most of the movie. It wasn't until Galactus showed up on planet earth that it became interesting to. I give it an average of 5 out of 10 stars, 3 out of 10 for the first 90 minutes, 7 out of 10 the last 30.
