Part 6/12:
Participants dissect recent DCU and Marvel projects, especially Superman and Fantastic Four. They critique Superman’s underwhelming box office and storytelling mishaps, blaming poor pacing, lack of integration, and a misguided focus on superficial symbolism over substance. Similarly, Fantastic Four’s post-credits teases and internal inconsistencies are lambasted—throwing shade at rushed plots, weak character development, and questionable visual effects.
Discussion notes that Galactus, the iconic cosmic villain, was depowered and underutilized, and that the movie sacrificed depth for quick action sequences and superficial effects. The group agrees that both movies are "mid"—not outright failures, but painfully mediocre.
