4:11 "Johnny and Sue's wedding photo" gosh I hope that's not what it is lol

[lucasmangalon]

“It’s cousin time” is a crazy t-shirt line

[danebeee]

At 2:30 it seemed like Vanessa Kirby was talking about the comics, not something that happened in the movies.

[HeavensSoul]

4:11 Johnny & Sue... Isn't that... You know?? A bit too Luke and Leia?

[mostly_insane]

Johnny and Sue’s wedding??? This ain’t Game of Thrones.

[ChocoboScribe]

There is something about this movie that is just making me feel like a kid again.
Also part of me is hoping they went the fully stylized route and shot it like a movie in the 60’s.

I love the call out for the Incredibles. I've been saying for a little while now that Incredibles is absolutely Brad Bird's proof of concept for a Fantastic Four movie, and while I'm sad that wasn't enough for him to be directing First Steps, I hope they at least bring him on to this movie as like a consultant or something for the movie, maybe keep him in mind for the sequel or whatever as well. Now if only Disney can get Marvel to start publishing Incredibles comics, that would be awesome, especially with Incredibles 3 coming in the near future.

If that is Johnny and Sue's wedding, Feige really is taking things in an unexpected direction.

Joking aside, I have high hopes for this film

[NeoAnthony]

I just love how Jetsons everything sounds. XD

[giovannivirardi]

You mean reed and sues wedding not Johnny and sues marriage photo

[MrOfflineAlways]

10:16 OMG OMG OMG I WAS THERE (in the farther part of the Bowl’s seats, Kevin Feige looked like an ant from my view at the start) Hearing that theme song was MAGICAL!

[rocknorris]

One thing no one is mentioning is the idea of incursions, as referenced by Illuminati Variant Reed in DS:MOM. They may not bring it up in F4 directly, but as long as the concept has been established elsewhere, then “Doomsday” may just very well be the collision of everything and Doom makes the hard call to let it happen, but sew the shattered pieces together into Battleworld for Secret Wars.

[RXVBK]

Johnny and Sues wedding? Boy, this really is an alternate MCU! LOL!

[boiledodenproductions]

All I know is I am super excited for this film, I have really high hopes for this, I believe it will be fantastic.

[ModelDonnaDempsey-hv]

The theme for First Steps reminds me of the theme from the 1994 FF movie... which might have the best script of all Marvel FF movies (sadly with just terrible production value).

[Pedrofiliac]

So I’m guessing the story revolves around Mephisto and Dazzler?

[jimmymoreton]

I am so embarrassed that I never got the Incredibles and Fantastic 4 similarities. I'm fuming 😂 IT'S RIGHT THERE DANGIT

[CmChubz]

Nobody's said it to my knowledge, so First steps feels like something you'd celebrate in a baby shower. They use lighter colour's, based on the art style it's feels softer, and the words themselves denote kids. EVERYBODY knows fantastic four, at this point they could give us franklin and his sister. Marvel has started cosmic stories and stage craft. They bring in Franklin and see how it goes. Multiversal is the way to go. Nobodies addressed this, but it's an interesting concept

[NIGHTGUYRYAN]

first steps kinda reminds me of muppet babies...i dont think thats what we're getting, but i do think it refers to Sue's baby.

[huntress]

9:36 the 2005 Fantastic Four is the best Fantastic Four movie because The Incredibles came out in 2004…
