I think you'll find -and between many clips I've seen and quite a few reviews and comments, I'm pretty sure- that this one is different, and far more in the style The Incredibles nailed.  It's no Infinity War...

I just found out, cultural hermit that I am, that the next big MCU thing is called "Doomsday" and involves nostalgia-mining the original X-Men movies from the turn of the century.  Among many, many other things.  It sounds like an absolutely prodigious mess and as a creator myself I feel disgusted by the idea of supporting the MCU.  Not even joking.  This entire approach to cinema needs to die.  I'll check out the Fantastic Four movie when and if I see an opportunity to do so without giving Marvel/Disney any money or support whatever with it.  Like the library.

On the fence about doing the same with the third Spider-verse movie, which is only tangentially tied to the MCU in the sense that it's a Marvel property.  The first movie was wonderful--not perfect, but very very good and a revolutionary new approach to animation.  Second had serious flaws but was tolerable for the strengths it still had.  I suspect that these films will follow the standard Matrix/RaimiSpidey quality arc to the end, and Beyond will be dreck straight through.

...You're just determined to spite yourself just to spite Robert Downey Jr...

RDJ is fine.  Love watching him.  I'm spiting a perverse and creatively bankrupt trend in filmmaking, specifically targeting the producers, directors, assorted moneymen ...

I feel that it's now my duty to call on Rusty Edge and Elok to see Fantastic Four: First Steps and get back to us...

Is the movie any good?
Pascal is fun and all, but I am kindda tired of seeing him so much.
Liked him as Oberyn Martell.
Forgot he was in Equalizer 2.
Liked him in The Mandalorian...great voice acting.
Utterly disliked him in Wonder Woman 1984, but then again the only character I find salvageable in that mess Cheetah, kudos for Kristen Wig.
Saw the trailer for this new Fantastic Four movie and I was like meh...more MCU slop...rather rewatch DS9

Why do you insist that the human genetic code is 'sacred' or 'taboo'? It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter -we- are chemical processes and nothing more. If you deny yourself a useful tool simply because it reminds you uncomfortably of your mortality, you have uselessly and pointlessly crippled yourself.
~Chairman Sheng-ji Yang 'Looking God in the Eye'
