F4 carries so much baggage from their previously awful films. They had managed to cast it very well, and then blew it with the script and direction. Hopefully this turns the tide, though "origin story" saturation point has been reached, so they better be brief with that.
Origin will just be in flashbacks it looks like, not a real full origin movie. Think we'll get this FF and RDJ's Doom escaping this universe and into the MCU as the impetus for Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Looks great.

Best trailer so far, actually gives me the desire to go see it.
Oh, it's a remake...of the two horrible films before it. They're hoping to RE-make it better!
Part of the reason "Green Lantern" had trouble being made into a live-action movie, it's a Comic Superpower that doesn't translate to real-world physics.

It was a very quick 2 hours. Product of a TV director running the show IMO (from the excellent WandaVision). As a result the whole thing felt kind of muted and the highs weren't as high and the lows weren't as low because nothing had room to breathe with the pacing issues - and when they did pause for a beat, it almost felt awkward instead.
They managed to cram a lot in, but ultimately I was just disappointed it didn't really lay the foundation for much going into phase 6, or provide a more concrete explanation for the Thunderbolts post-credit scene.

Presumably after the post-credits stinger Doom will blink away with Franklin, which will leave a residual energy Reed can trace so they can lock onto and follow him across time(lines)/space.
