Spoilers The Fantastic Four: First Steps grade and discussion thread
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
Plus there are visual references to West Germany.
Ben and Alicia got married in the current comics.
I honestly thought that Reed's plan to teleport the Earth would be what would get them into the Sacred Timeline, as in the teleport would work so well that their Earth would be in the same solar system as main MCU's Earth and it would be their answer to Counter-Earth on the other side of the Sun.
I thought the same thing (aside from the Counter-Earth concept) but I think that was a deliberate red herring and a neat wink at fan expectations.
Have you seen John's new handlebar mustache in the comics?
WTF?
Briefly I was actually wondering if they had to do that to match with the new movie.
The Human Pornstache
Personally, when talking dimensional travel - yeah, it could cause some time slippage.
Remember that episode of Sliders where they were on a parallel Earth where that particular Earth traveled around their sun a few seconds slower than Earth Prime, which is why that weeks exciting installment of this very popular TV serial seemed to be happening 7 years in the past, where Quinn Mallory taught a much younger teen Quinn doppleganger to keep his shit buttoned down?
Or The Defiant from TOS ending up in Archer's Mirror Universe?
Sorry.
I had to rush over to the theatre and commandeer the projection booth, under threat of noogie, to scan through the movie quickly, looking for evidence of time and date, apologies, I have to cut this short because the police have the building surrounded, and...
I didn't see the bit about West Germany, which in of itself would not lock down an era for me, considering so many other things could be different like how Nixon was still President in the Watchmen's 1985, but The Copyright for the Ted Gilbert show near the beginning, in very fine print is stated as "MCMLXIV".
Earlier I was trying to think where it was that two crack pots on either end of a wormhole were complaining about a peculiar phase variance that turned out to be a 22 year time shift...
Voyager, Eye of the Needle.
Anyway.
I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're very good-looking. I'm not very attractive.
Well, the movie had about as good an opening as they could hope for: 118 DOM, 218 WW.
Foreign box office was weak, which is the story of the season. FF's OW was around 5% better overseas than Superman's, while falling almost 6% short of the latter's domestic total.

People focus too much on box office numbers. In about 6-9 months, streaming revenue will be taken into account to see how successful it was financially. I see the conversation I had with my cinema buddy across the board. "Do you wanna see this in the theaters or wait till it's in *insert streaming service*?"
This is how it is right now. Studios know this. People living in 2004 still believe box office is the most important. And even then, studios knew that home media sales would ultimately determine how well the movie did.
