Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

True! I enjoyed Loki. Ms Marvel was OK. Shang Chi was fun. Generally though, I feel that things have gotten really watered down and the quality has taken a nosedive. I haven’t bothered watching the new Thor or Ant-Man. The Marvels looks great, but I’m not holding my breath. I’m really really hoping that Fantastic 4 is good, and done properly this time (especially Doom).
F4 has such high expectations I don’t think it can be done properly.
I thought Krasinski was a good Mr. Fantastic in Dr Strange 3, so we’ll see where they take it.
Agreed. They should keep him in the role. He’s the fan favorite.
I didn’t dislike Krasinski in Dr Strange 2 but I wasn’t fully sold on him. He was fine for a cameo, but I don’t think he’d pull off the character in a lead role. Mr Fantastic - or at least my interpretation of him - has always been arrogant, aloof and disconnected. It’s clear he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room (because he is, and probably the planet), and he’s not necessarily a cold person but it’s obvious he focuses more on his work than on the people around him, even if he does care about them. Krasinski just never sold me on being the smartest person on the planet, not did he really nail the slightly disconnected aspect of the character, I feel.
It’s perhaps a slightly weird suggestion, but I’ve always felt that Glenn Howerton (Dennis from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) would be my ideal Mr Fantastic. He can absolutely pull of that arrogant, slightly narcissistic aspect of the character, but I feel like he can do it in a charismatic, likeable way. And he can definitely sell the idea that he’s very intelligent. Plus he looks the part.
Quantumania got a bad rap, but I actually enjoyed it. It was pretty CG heavy and that detracted from it a bit, but it was still fun and an interesting episode to start what ever season we’re up to now.
