The central theme of this film is FAMILY. Pedro as Reed never fails to bring emotional depth to his roles, and here, once again, we see him burdened with guilt, always blaming himself for what happened to his family. Vanessa as Sue isn't just a "mommy sorry mommy" she delivers a rollercoaster of emotions, especially when she comforts Reed by telling him their child is perfect, even while struggling with her own doubts. She serves as both a mediator and a mother, a woman who truly knows how to calm things down when the entire world is judging their family.

Ebon as Ben is no longer just angry all the time, there’s still that fun bickering with Johnny, but Ben proves himself dependable in times of crisis. I really liked Joseph as Johnny here. It's refreshing because while Evans' version of Johnny is iconic as the flashy playboy (mostly just eye candy in those films), this one reminds us that Johnny is also a scientist.

I love the retro-future vibe this film gives off. I’m a sucker for anything vintage and retro, so it felt both fresh and exciting to me.

I fell asleep when the F4 went to space to negotiate with Galactus(work exhaustion)but after that, the film had me glued to the screen, especially during the scenes showing Sue’s powers. Visually stunning. And we’re reminded again: Sue Storm is the strongest member of the Fantastic Four. Her strength comes from the fact that she’s a mother, a mother who will do anything for her child and her family.

Thank you Marvel, thank you Mommy Vanessa, thank you baby Franklin. Thank you Natasha Lyonne(love her)

(Also… Julia Garner’s makeup was not it.)
