I just started reading Fantastic Four a few months ago. I am on issue 51. I am really loving this team. The Thing is my favorite. Just found out he had his on series that ran for 36 issues. I am going to look for that. Doom is a great villain but I am really loving The Puppet Master.

Ben's had multiple books. As well as two runs called The Thing, he's also the star of Marvel Two-In-One. While the more recent version was always him and Johnny, the original was him and a different hero every month.

Hi hi hi.
I am kinda hyped for Franklin’s appearance in DoX and his upcoming interaction/s with the X-Men. I haven’t been reading Slotts run but from what I know he lost his power. So what are your predictions?
Oh another point; I thought Franklin’s power was unlimited, how is it vanishing? Or is he bad at controlling it?
Over-exertion from rebuilding the multiverse. He probably just needs time to recover.

Franklin's whole god complex annoyed the shit out of me and that was just the first couple of issues. Him losing all that power for the foreseeable future was legit the best thing that could have happened to his character.

I would like to see him keep a fair amount of energy manipulating juice...just keep him from creating universes...or even duplicate Earths...for a while.
Wait til Marvel makes them a good movie...then we could see one. Kind of like they did with GoTG.
I know a film will make Marvel want to do another cartoon, but who knows how far out that will be.
Plus I think it's better to reinvigorate the property with a good cartoon before the film. Reintroduce audiences to the team and their concept as it's been 10 years since the last one.

I'm honestly not too keen with Marvel Animation when it comes to any property right now. All their current cartoons seem way too washed out in the color palette department.
The angsty, angsty emo done right can be entertaining. Done wrong, you get the character whining the same five lines of dialogue over and over again.
The age thing bothers me. Five years passed, but Valeria is stated to be a teenager, but she and Franklin have a four or five year age gap between the two which, assuming she's thirteen, renders him an adult or pretty close to one. Yes, I do realize I'm thinking too much into this.

Yeah they've been terrible. What I'm hoping is that Disney Plus brings with the opportunity to have better quality animated shows made for the platform. The reduced constraints leads me to hope they get better budgets and more time put into them.
Also, they wouldn't need to have 20-something episodes in a season as they don't have to deal with syndication. I'm hoping this combination of factors leads to an improvement in the Marvel animated shows.

Yeah, they goofed there. The last established ages for Frank and Val were 8 and 3. If five years have passed, they'd be 13 and 8. If you say maybe they'd had birthdays since their ages were last stated, that's 14 and 9. Instead, they went with them being 15 and 13. Five years would also make the already 19 year old Alex Power 24, but he still seems to only be around 21 (since his age gap to Julie doesn't seem to have changed). They should've had the FF scatter and reunite, that would explain the out of sync aging.
