The First The Last The Nerdom Episode: XVI Focusing On Fantastic 4's Films and Comics
3Thomas and Mike cover the Fantastic Four in Woeful Film Debuts and Sequels. We also lament the failure of FF means we will not get a GOOD
... DR. DOOM!

After we stepped over the grave of that never to be seen movie we dive into Fox's early 00's attempts.
Fantastic Four (2005)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120667/?ref_=ttmi_tt
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486576/
And the worst modern version:
Fantastic Four (2015)

Although they did the powers correctly and a very good Dr. Doom costume (not much else hit the target on Dr. Doom).
We also go into how Disney Marvel could do it better when they take a crack at it.
We cover Moon knight and its progress as it rolls into episode 4 this week.

Mike opines on how they messed up the introduction of the Eternals and Ennead with MK. To Mike it would have made more sense to hold on introducing the Eternals After Moon Knight story arc which would have introduced these more far out celestial based characters. Instead Disney Marvels risks more oversaturation and fan burnout.
Thomas mentions the latest Eternals on going Story Arc is a much more satisfying than the movie attempts:
