My Thoughts of the Fantastic 4 First Steps Trailer

 

My thoughts on the Fantastic 4 First Steps Trailer.
The Team does look good and I hope it delivers.
My exceptions are mixed and I can't deny I'm more excited for Superman this July. 

So I saw the trailer for Fantastic 4 First Steps, and I have got to be honest: it looks good. Now, I'm still very mixed about this film because, let's face it, the Fantastic 4 franchise hasn't had the best luck when it comes to good adaption. Now I like what I've seen. I like the look of the thing and find it funny when Ben Grim is cooking with HERBIE, which makes me think of the bear. Ebon Moss-Bachrach is already nailing it as Ben Grim/The Thing. Like Pedro Pascal, the rest of the cast is growing on me as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, but I still don't like that mustache. I wish he had shaved it or grown a beard; Vanessa Kirby, I think, looks excellent as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman. Joseph Quinn, I believe, will do a good job as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. Everything else looks good, and they will explain their origin through flashbacks. Galactus does look way better than a storm cloud, and there's no Silver Surfer. I'm still not big on their change from Norrin Rand to his girlfriend, Shamal. Still, this film is set in another universe, so they could give us the MCU Norrin Rand as Silver Surfer in the future with the Silver Surfer project or later films in the works. That's what I think of the trailer. Let me know what you think. Here is a link to watch the trailer.
