The Fantastic Four was in a tough spot because the multiverse was a flop that is confusing to casual fans but you can’t just drop them in the current MCU. The retro future on a different earth but with no mention of a multiverse was a suitable compromise.
I liked they took the Spider-man route and didn’t waste the first act on an origin story that had been seen before. You just get some introductions and world building before the story gets going. Also liked the focus on having interesting likeable characters and exploring their relationships. Johnny in particular was very well written. Could have used a little more action and it drags a bit when it’s just Reed doing science stuff. Every Silver Surfer scene was awesome and it wouldn’t have hurt to have more of her.
Probably the best MCU movie since End Game.
