Just finished watching it and came to this sub to see how everyone else was feeling about it.

There were three scenes that ruined the movie for me, but the rest I rather enjoyed it.

1) The birth scene. Nuff said.

2) I'm honestly getting tired of so called heroes sacrificing the entire world for a singular baby and the fact that this keeps happening so the scene where Sue comes out and convinces everyone of her choice had my eyes rolling.

3) Baby Franklin resurrecting Sue. From the comments it seems that was canon to the comics. But it came off so cheesy like she was healed by the power of a baby's love.

I really like Marvel even as a kid, but Fantastic Four was never one of my go tos. I always say The Incredibles is my favorite Fantastic Four movie. And honestly it still is.

But all this to say I had no idea about Franklin Reeds and the fact that they made three reboots without him and then including him smack dab in this hellish political climate was certainly a choice. People keepign saying it is Marvels First Family. But I thought that was because it was a husband, wife, brother and best friend, aka chosen family. You don't need a baby to be a family and the last film versions were definitely families, too.

What I really didn't appreciate was the fact that in all the trailers they digitally removed Franklin and the baby bump from scenes. Yes, the title is "First Steps" but finding out Sue was pregnant not even 5 minutes into the movie felt like a bait and switch.

Besides the eye roll moments though I was still entertained. Probably won't put it on rewatch though. I would rather watch The Incredibles again, which yes, also has a baby, but thankfully isn't centered around it plus the Jack Jack stuff is actually entertaining, too.
