The Fantastic Four Appreciation 2021

They didn't change uniforms

Omg. I thought there was some kind of weird piping on Sue’s uniform, but upon closer inspection, I’m clearly just delusional.

Who do hope is NOT under the veil? Sharon, Wanda, Sky, or Lyja.

Who do I hope is? Morgan Le Fay

Yeah, I liked Morgan and Victor together in his solo series. She really had softened up a bit and had his back by giving him shelter in NYC when he was a fugitive.

[Iron Maiden]

It’s Alyssa Moy, just to troll Reed.

I was just remembering... I'm pretty sure she is dead and hasn't been restored. At least as far as I know. Hickman got rid of her along with a lot of Millar/Hitch baggage when he took over the FF. For sure I know he had Psionics whacked. She was the bank robber gf of Johnnie's. Alyssa's death I didn't agree with ...she was from Claremont's FF. It was pretty violent IIRC and I don't think she deserved it. Marvel doesn't have enough female scientists that are near Reed's level.

[Frontier]

Seems like Slott is trying to marry off everybody in the FF at this point.

I guess all of Johnny's main exes coming back will build into whatever the romantic resolution for him ends up being.

[Thundershot]

Morgan is currently a captive of Jamie Braddock... it looks like he has long term plans for her that haven’t panned out yet, so I doubt it’s her.

My Prediction is that, based off Slott's recent twist with Franklin, this will cause controversy, so I'm going to predict the Bride of Doom is a future version of Valeria

I fully kinda think this too. At times they've protrayed Val as cold, calculating and brilliant just like Doom. Which is when she's most interesting. She lacks the empathy and sympathy that come with growing up..

They clearly have a unique relationship where she may be the only person Doom respects (even though she's a kid right now).

They'd both be kinda sticking it to Reed, Sue and everyone else sort of.

I'd still rather it be the original Valeria. Her soul has been trapped in Hell to long IMO. She never did anything evil and is an innocent.

[Ultimate Captain America]

There's something kinda wrong in Rama Tut's introduction...

Valeria has seemed to be a bit more humanized in post SW appearances. She's getting along better with Sue and dealing with Franklin well, even if she often acts as the older sibling. However, I am thinking of Millar's first introduction of Val's super-intelligence when Future Sue tells her to basically cut the crap and quit faking. It's possible Val does have some sort of sociopathic lack of empathic emotion. She's certainly smart enough to know how to fake it. I'm not sure Val has any real reason to stick it to Reed, but if we're talking about a future version of Val, who knows what could have happened.

So I'm just gonna say it. I can't see Jennifer Lawrence as Susan Storm at the moment, especially if she's in disinterested Mystique mode. I would much prefer an older actress that I can imagine being a mom myself. Emily Brunt or Charlize Theron being my current picks. But Jennifer strikes me as someone who dislikes long term roles, and Susan is definitely a character who needs to be around for a while in the MCU.

She's 30, so she's not exactly young. Certainly old enough to play a mom, unless you're expecting a teenage Franklin. However, I agree with your overall point. After seeing her as Mystique, I'm surprised Marvel would even consider her. Unless they think they just need some bigger names to redeem the franchise.

Fair point, and it is possible that they want to start with young Franklin and Valeria (though I would love to see time travel so we can have adult Franklin running about too), especially since Franklin is another gateway to mutants and the X-Men. But yeah, I am concerned after two previous actress somewhat half-assing Susan to have it happen again with Lawrence. Clearly some of the issues with Mystique stemmed from her having to wear makeup so often, so she might be more into playing Susan if it's done right. So... I dunno. Not the worst choice, but perhaps too safe a choice?

Also seems to possibly imply we'll have a white Johnny again, unless they're going to mine the dumb adoption thing once more from Fan4stick. Still thinking we'll have a secret cameo from Reed or Ben in Wandavision.

He’s white?

Charlize fits my dream, but Emily is close. I guess CT was mentioned years ago as a possibility. She is an amazing looking woman, but possibly older than they now would want. Still . . .
