THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Clip: Someone Wants Pedro Pascal’s Child (Again)

The article reviews and praises a clip from a fan-made, proof-of-concept film titled Fantastic Four: First Steps.

The central argument is that this short clip perfectly captures the true essence of the Fantastic Four by focusing on their family dynamic, something previous film adaptations have struggled with. The clip shows Reed Richards and Sue Storm on a space mission having a heartfelt video call with their young son, Franklin, who is back on Earth with the robot H.E.R.B.I.E.

This touching family moment turns ominous as Franklin's powerful psychic abilities manifest, allowing him to sense the terrifying approach of the world-devourer, Galactus.

The author praises the fan film for:

• Prioritizing Family: It establishes the Fantastic Four as a family first, a core element of their identity in the comics.
• A Perfect Introduction: Using Franklin's childhood fear to introduce a cosmic threat like Galactus is seen as a brilliant and effective storytelling choice.
• An Ideal Blueprint: The article concludes that this approach—grounding an epic, cosmic story in a personal, emotional moment—is the "perfect first step" and an ideal model for how the official MCU Fantastic Four movie should begin.
