168澳洲幸运5开奖网:How Fantasꦫtic Four Sets Up Avengers: Doomsday

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:What were the signs?

Finally, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel’s first family has taken their rightful place in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Marvel Cinematic Universe. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fantastic Four: First Steps is in the🔯aters now and if you’ve been a Marvel Comics fan as long as some of us have, you know how big a deal this is. Not only does the movie introduce the MCU versions of these iconic heroes, it also sets the stage for what’s to come in Avengers: Doomsday.

First Steps introduces an entirely new Earth in th🔯e MCU, Earth 828 – a nod to co-creator Jack Kirby’s birthday. If you’ve seen the trailers, you know the movie’s style is heavily influenced by retrofuturistic design elements. Basically, Earth 828 looks a lot like Fallout – before the fallout. We meet Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon ♑Moss-Bachrach), who were all exposed to cosmic rays four years earlier, giving them superpowers.

From here 🃏on out, I will be discussing spoilers for the entirety of Fantastic F🎶our: First Steps.

With superpowers come supervillains. First Steps introduces the legendary Marvel Comics bꩲaddie Galactus (Ralph Ineson) – a gigantic cosmic being with a penchant for eating entire planets to satisfy his cursed unquenchable hunger.

He is heralded by Shalla-Bal (Julia Garner), a Silver Surfer that’s been tasked with tracking down his planetary meals, and Earth is next on the menu. The only way to stop the destruction of their planet is for Reed and Sue to hand over their newborn son, Franklin, who Galactus claims has powers making him worthyꦏ of picking up the mantle (and curse) of being the next Galactus.

Not surprisingly, the super-powered new parents aren’t cool with all ▨of that. Handing their baby over to a space god that is slowly destroying the universe isn’t🌳 exactly a winning idea.

Does Galactus Win, Thus Ending The MCU Forever?

You’d be shocked to learn that the good guys prevail at the end of this movie. Of course, it🎐’s not without a real bizarre plan that they didn’t spend enough time thinking through. Reed has developed teleportation technology. At least, he thinks so. He can teleport an egg from one side of the room to the other. Now, he wants to do the same thing to the planet but drop it in a different solar system that can support human life. And somehow he convinces the entire world to go along with it.

Of course, that doesn’t work because Silver Surfer destroys all of the teleportation devices they built around the world — except for the one in Times Square, of course. Thus begins their next last ditch plan: Use the baby as bait to lure Galactus to the planet to trap him inside the last remaining teleportation device, ejecting him through a port🌜al into some other dimension.

Fantastic Four: First Steps has a higher review score than every other Fantastic Four movie com🎃bined

Not only 💮the best Fantastic Four movie ever, but better than every other attempt to make an F4 movie combined.

It’s a plan so ridiculous it shouldn’t work. So, naturally💝, it does. However, given the multiverse at play in the MCU, chances are we haven’t seen the last of Galactus, and soon enough he’ll be hounding the rest of the MCU for planets to eat.

In the end, the Fantastic Four couldn’t do it alone. Though they were all stretched to the limits of their powers – with Sue seemingly dying – it’s Silver Surfer who strikes the final blow, sending Gala💛ctus into the portal.

We learn throughout the film that she’s not merely just a herald for Galactus but someone who volunteered these services to save her own planet many years befꦏore. Finally, with a little prodding from Johnn🌸y, she’s had enough and stops Galactus in his tracks.

In the end, the g꧅ood guys win, Sue survives – potentially due to the still-unknown powers Franklin has – and 🍸there’s no telling where Silver Surfer or Galactus wound up. The Fantastic Four are once more celebrated as heroes, and their world goes back to the way it was.

Herbie in Fantastic Four: First Steps

There are two end credit scenes in Fantastic Four. Let’s start with the last thing you see before leaving the theater. It’s a short clip of a Fantastic Four animated series opening sequence being shown on TV. The style is taken from the 1967 cartoon based on the characters, but the animation ref𒆙lects the characters from the film. Once it ends, we hear Herbie switch off the TV, sending the audience home.

But that’s not the🅺 end credits sce🍃ne that matters here. There’s almost always a fun little joke-y ending to Marvel movies. And then there’s a scene setting up whatever is next.

Sue Storm and Franklin Richards in Fantastic Four: First Steps

The mid-credits scene jumps forward in time four years. That means it’s now nine years sin🦂ce the Fantastic Four first got their powers in space, while Franklin is nearing turning five.

In the scene, Sue is reading a book to her son in the living room of their home. Upon finishing, she leaves the room to grab another𓆏 book for the two of th🧸em to read. It seems Franklin switches back and forth between Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin and more traditional childhood reading material. Clearly, he’s picked up the family intellect.

Upon returning to the living room, though, Sue notices something is wrong. She can’t see Franklin and immediately activates her powers. As the camera pulls around a corner in the living room, we see Franklin standing, talking to a crouched-down figure in a hooded robe. It’s then, very briefly, that the figure reveals who he is, brandishing the mask of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doctor Doom in his hand.

The scene ends there, with no clue on what Doom, who is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:portrayed in the MCU by Robeꦫrt Downey Jr., is planning to do 🐼next. But given Avengers: Doomsday is on the way and the Fantastic Four will be in that movie, it certainly🌺 seems like Franklin is going to be pretty important going forward.

If you were paying attention throughout Fantastic Four, chances are you noticed the clues that Doom was coming. One ꦕof Sue’s roles as a member of the Fantastic Four is to speak to the world’s leadership on the group’s behalf.

We see her more than once in these meetings that resemble United Nations gatherings, with leaders from a multitude of countries standing by and listening. However, one country’s seat is alwa𒈔ys empty.

Nobody from Dr. Doom’s homeland of Latveria is seen in the film, outside of the supervillain himself. And the shorts in those scenes made that painfully obvious, giving long glances to the empty spot next to the Latverian flag. So we knew this had to be c𒐪oming, but we’re left with only more questions.

Now the wait for answers begins. Thankfully, ☂it won’t be too long before Marvel Studios clues us in on what happens next. Avengers: Doomsday is in theaters in December 2026.
