How could someone possibly extrapolate that sentence from the original tweet.
“reading books is lazy” .truly we are in a Great New Age of Ideas.

"The book is always better than the movie" is actually a dumb dumb belief.

Book purism is probably the laziest and dumbest form of engagement with any film/TV show, yet somehow every book purist is convinced they're intellectually superior and immediately correct because they have the coveted, rare gift of. knowing how to read.

I’m incredibly cynical about “superheroes = Ubermensch?!” takes because they’re usually exhausting and pretty easy but empty, but I think it’s worth questioning the ideological undertones of the “perfect, idyll world” being largely white, Jetsons-aesthetic New York of the 60s.
For me the point of the “Thank You Fantastic Four!” mentality of Earth 828 and their willingness to cooperate with one another is that it’s NOT how our world operates. The first thing this film does is remind you it’s in a different, better world, showing us what’s possible.

And then two talk show guests angrily but civilly debate the ethics of their decision while a small group of well dressed and orderly demonstrators protest them out the front of their building. But don’t fear this violent upheaval: it will last one scene until Sue persuades them.

Unintentionally funny bit in Fantastic Four when Ben gets a polite but disapproving comment from a passerby in the street to demonstrate the public’s loss of faith in them and it immediately cuts to him saying “it’s getting bad out there”.

Joseph Quinn, Vanessa Kirby and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are all fine and well cast (with the very little they’re given, Ebon especially) but my hottest Fantastic Four take is I don’t think Pedro is especially good in it and I never really bought him as Reed.

To be fair this is very much an own goal and I don’t know why I got my hopes up for something different. Props to the marketing team for recognising all of the good looking stuff and dressing up the rest so it looked like it might actually be good. Masterful con.

Gobsmacked at how thin all the characters are but it’s utterly incredible how The Thing especially, probably the easiest way into a beating heart of this team (which even the other bad movies recognised), is given absolutely nothing to do or to ever feel a single thing lmao.

People are right that the second act space stuff is probably the best sequence but it’s also not great and anyone mentioning it in the same breath as Interstellar just because they manage to mount a camera in the same place and there’s a black hole should be EMBARRASSED.
