The sad part is that so much of what is happening in the movies today stems directly from the Fantastic Four title.
Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four by way of the annhialation saga, by way of annhiulus. That team started out in the comics to defeat the leader of the Negative Zone. (All FF Characters)
Avengers - Infinity War. Kirby created The Watcher in FF who was the first known of the celestial beings, Galactus (FF), Surfer (FF), Warlock (FF).
The Fantastic Four is the foundation of the marvel universe, but we haven't had a creative mind working on this title in 30 years. Want to talk about a waste of a franchise?
What happened to the FF you say? Wolverine, and Movies.
