0:36 Impossible Man! Not Mr Impossible. Show some respect.
I am putting some respect on it. It’s why he gets the Mr 😂🤣
As in Mr Myxysptlyk (I'm definitely spelling that wrong) in disguise in the Marvel universe.
@@comics_explained 😂💚
Can Impossible Man beat Jim Jaspers?
😂👏👏👏👏👏@@comics_explained
The Hickman run is literally the best story in decades, of any comic book. Even Hickman will have a hard time topping it.
These theories are reminding me of infinity war MCU and I’m excited about it!!
Rob: “TO ME…MY PREDICTIONS!”
If galactus were to consume earth, he would've just done it. Instead, he shrinks his size to come specifically to NYC because it looks as if he's there to see someone... so this theory makes alot of sense.
He's there to eat McDonald's and drink Pepsi.
Galactus is actually looking for people that play the objective.
BETTER STOP THAT VEHICLE
You need to stop that vehicle in its tracks.
You stopped the Vehicle!!
Imagine instead of Galacta, you have Galactus being the announcer.
*Earth gets consumed*
Well, you can’t expect to win ‘em all.
Franklin being a mutant and somehow hiding all mutants in the mcu to hide from galactus would be interesting
Ehhh. But the writers of these movies keep making bad decisions, so how to you explain the mutants of earth mcu 616 not being there? There’s no Franklin there. This mcu set up of movies is a hot mess.
@WawaMarvel we dont know if he is or isnt there. Its pretty clear that this isnt the fantastic four of the current mcu where spiderman and avengers live. So they will jump worlds. We also know incursions are coming as well. Maybe franklin is hiding because he knows the danger of helping galactus but isnt full comprehending his powers. Maybe he just wished himself to be somewhere else where he couldnt be found.
Just spitballing here. But i kinda like the idea of mutants having been shielded in some way and now the barriers coming down. Rather than a ultimate comics kinda mutant where they are super super new and just popping up now.
See I like that theory. But someone's seen beast so maybe not. Unless.. illusions?
@webdude15 thats beast from the fox universe. I dont think thats same universe as the mcu right?
@@FFmaxxx it's not
Great video! You literally are one of the main channels that hype the MCU and Marvel universe! Best comic content around!
Galactus will definitely be looking for Franklin and we will get an almost exact adaptation of Galactus talking to Reed about Franklin in Hickman's F4 which leads up to Secret Wars.
We need that Galactus-Franklin cosmic buddy comedy
Say it!
Franklin and Galactus Playing space marine 2
Franklin: THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!
Galactus: DIE ANNIHILUS!!!
Now I need to hear Galactus say: "Im too old for this shhhhhhheeeeiiiiitttt!!"
SECONDED! Seconded SO hard!
A special marvel presentation, Franklin and galactus's excellent adventure
I like how much they made the thing's face look like Jack kirby's illustrations.
The thing looks great. Perfect.
Option 1: Franklin created the universe the FF currently live in, a la original Heroes Reborn. End of the film Franklin has to wake up and the FF pop up back into the main MCU.
Option 2: Franklin *is* Galactus, a la Earth X.
Franklin tries to shape that universe, slips up, boom Mutants, doom stark, Sentry from thunderbolts becoming the Void,
And Man so are we. Cannot wait to see the Plot and how these Characters are utilized. Moreso, upon being correctly used, this will most certainly mark a great Point and an elevation to it All.
"What are we,a group of four people that are fantastic?"
"Say that again"
u gotta really look into it, here’s the thing
Remember Earth X, where Franklin became the new Galactus?
If they intend to now follow the Secret Wars arc in order to reboot the MCU, it does require them to establish that Franklin is a multiversal shaper - else it seems like a deus ex machina ending to Secret War.
I think this film has retro-futuristic look bcs F4 are actually from another universe who travelled back in time but used their advance knowledge,skills etc to make a fortune & brand for themselves while helping USA in its space race against Soviet. You see reed Richards passionately exploring multiverse in the promos as if he still want to return to his OG home.The F4 with their success might have invoked jealousy from Victor Van doom(Robert Downey Jr) of their new home🌍,who try to bring them down later.
So discount versions
🤔🤔🤔👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think its retro futuristic because its a different universe that happens to be in whatever teqr they are in
the comics literally released in the 60s. Them being in a retro-futuristic is literally from the comics my guy...
Glactus coming to earth is an OP pregnancy test
You find out the Avengers appear in the Fantastic Four universe because Franklin Richards summoned them from a pocket universe he created.
That or they go with an Earth X adaptation and it turns out Galactus is Franklin who’s forgotten who he really is and he’s come to find out
That would be crazy
we better get RISEEEEEEEEEE at one point.
This is so important to me it's hard to put into words 😂
John Malkovitch playing future Franklin! Book it
Now Rob you know this is too interesting of an idea for the mcu to ever attempt. Franklin will probably just be telekinetic
I think Galactus is on Earth to ask Rob TO PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON SIEGE!!
The casting for galactus is so perfect
Personally, I thought that there would be a reference to Franklin Richards in Deadpool & Wolverine since Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ends with Reed and Sue realizing that they can be superheroes and still have a family. That film was released in 2007, Secret Wars is supposed to be out in 2027, so Franklin Richards of that world would've been 20 at the time of this Secret Wars film. There's also the Franklin and Valeria of Earth 838 since that Reed already said, "I have children of my own" so Marvel really wants to use Franklin Richards, they have at least two other options.
That's why I think that the old man in the trailer IS Franklin himself from the future
The past self meeting his future self is a bad choice for storytelling
It leads to a lot of plot holes in stories and comics
was my first thought as soon as seen him in long hair
Might be the Red Ghost
I feel like he wouldn’t be so old
I thought it was MEPHISTO 😂
The X-Gene is what carries over to the next multiverse imo. It creates a potential for super powers everywhere.
There's no need to fear they're here, JUST CALL FOR FOUR!
I'm praying they do justice to Franklin Richards' character. He is sooooooo OP and I'm curious how they are planning to portray his powers on screen. I'm excited!!! Galactus looks extremely small, so I'm nervous..
Don't worry it's said he can change shapes and sizes.
Oooo...I like your quick idea at the end there, about Doom stealing the powers of Galactus. Be a huge springboard!!
So you gave me an idea. What if what we are seeing is the universe that Franklin created after the onslaught saga?
Hey you're my fucking favorite I live in Wisconsin so I'm probably never going to meet you but every upload I wait for in anticipation my atomic knowledge is so much better
Franklin is God tier basically I love it.
I find it so improbable that we see Franklin in any more capacity than either a normal kid/ or some cut away seen in a nursing office. And even if we get Franklin, no matter if they’ve combined everything I’ve seen in film over the last 15 years- nothing short of a spiderverse (comic) movie could do him ANY justice.
It’ll be a Jean grey effect like in OG X-men.. just WAYYYYYYYYY powered down… and then they dropped a phoenix force movie….. idk.. I don’t know if they know how to put characters this powerful ( in this way) on the big screen
Another great, narrating breakdown.
Can’t wait to see Valeria !!
Well , franklin is supposed to be in this movie, so She's probably going to be in the second one
Ahh man that Hyperion was epic
Nice theory! It’s very plausible and I think you’re right. And if it is, oh man I’m so excited for the movie. I really hope it’s going to be good
What Franklin has doke to poor Galactus, there needs to be a justife for Galactus movement.
Marvel Comics readers know what i am talking about!
When i saw the bearded guy in the teaser, I immediately thought of "older Franklin", so your theory makes sense to me
Galactus is the herald of Franklin Richards.
When will we get a video about Falcon? Ive been waiting.
I feel the exact same when you said you can’t been excited for a marvel film in quite some time. I think Disney + shows might have overstimulated everyone on superhero’s. But this is a new take on a team we don’t see much of. And the branching connections to glactus and dr doom are so much more exciting and interesting than the multiverse. I think everyone understands the multiverse concept pretty well by now. It’s fun, but when it’s the focus of multiple projects back to back it drains it fast. So I’m really hoping this movie is just in universe, possibly set in the past bc everything looks really retro
Thank you Rob
I have a question : If Franklin Richards can change reality at his will, Why doesn't it restore the Thing to its original appearance?
He has always been a rock.
All I want is a cool Silver Surfer
This content really made me feel inspired. Keep going strong!
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
I was thinking about this
Wait what?! Franklin Richards even being confirmed to exist in the MCU is massive! There is yet hope!
He's supposed to be in this movie I think susan supposed to be pregnant with him
I'm glad you said that because that explains why he peeks through the window in the leaked fantastic 4 trailer from D23.
Also it's said Franklin is gonna be a baby in fantastic four. People have no idea what they're in for if galactus and Franklin is portrayed properly.
I get the feeling the shot of Galactus looking over NYC is actually a teaser for the next FF movie.
I want Kang, Doom, and the Avengers to all be in a 3way battle royale
After Hickman's run, my favorite story arc of all time, and Rob adding his energy to it...I am EXTRA STOKED for F4 and Franklin Richards!!!!! Oh, pleeeease get this one right, Marvel!!!! 🙏🏻 This one is HUGE to us fans 💥
If we get Franklin, can Molecules Man be far behind?
8:03 As long as his ears don’t match his helmet we’re good
This will be the best one
This video is pure gold. Thank you for making my day.
I assume this will be a combination of the Time Runs Out storyline with Galactus' origins as fleeing a dying universe
From being a cloud storm to finally a comic accurate counterpart,boy how far we have come.
High Evolutionary vs Galactus was awesome! Hoping to see High Evolutionary in MCU at some point.
He was in Gaurdians 3 🤷🏽♂️ huh?
Franklin is how they reboot the MCU after Secret Wars...if he's even in this movie
We have no idea if Franklin and Valeria are in this movie. But I have this theory that all the writing on the chalkboard is in relation to Galactus and how he got to earth
9:58
This is why, as MUCH of a crazy Longshot it is, and despite him looking just like his rumored character, something is nudging me to think that John Malkovich isn't playing Red Ghost, but rather an older, more exaggerated, kinda cooky, version of Franklin in that story where his older, bearded, more scraggly haired self "broke into" Baxter, and avoided all the security and spoke to his younger self...
In a movie, a guy saying IM YOU FROM THE FUTURE, WE NEED TO TALK, being portrayed more as a "yeah ok old man, put down the bottle of Nightrain, stop talking cuckoobananas, and get outta here"
It casts a bigger shadow of doubt to a more casual fan movie audience that way, if he is who he says he is...
Like when Lance Hendrickson told Sarah that Arnold ain't a robot, he's probably onPCP like thjs one wacko guy he dealt with once 😂
1:11 MY NAME IS DAVID
Yeah I noticed sue wearing that baggy t shirt and also walking funny. She's definitely pregnant with Franklin
😂
@Thefrayenters perfect
I don’t think they’ll do a complicated Franklin story and am intro to the FF in one movie, I think this movie will mostly focus on the FF and Franklin will be the Mcguffin that the characters will fight around. They can expand the story more in future films
Like I've been saying for over a year or so, they are doing too many introductions in 2 hours. Then have to explain them in a different universe... they are introducing the team as we seen in the trailer, there's doom that has to be speed ran, galactus and his heralds for no reason at all, the kids they are more important than the team, a rumor of council of reeds to waste time they don't have, and still have to explain how this is important as the first step to fixing this saga
Next Story should be why susan Storm became Malice 😊
You have to Cover that story Especially with the popularity right now of malice susan 😅
First Steps as a title makes sence too, with this theory.
Am I the only one who thinks that Ben Grimm looks amazing!? It looks like he's in a costume, but I'm betting someone just bit in a ton of time and effort into CGI doing it right!
I think Marvel Comics jeeds to bring "Mad Jim Jaspers" more mainstream and integrate him into more storylines.
More tv and movie content pls sir
He's looking for Franklin who is hiding in plain sight.
As HERBIE.
I’m so curious if they’ll even allow Legion to be in the MCU. I wish the FX show was canon but even that is wildly nerfing David. I can only imagine the execs at Disney wouldn’t allow him to be as OP as he is and then the whole mental illness aspect. That’s asking so much of them to allow us to see Legion and all that fun he can add to the X-Men lore in the MCU.
Maybe in the new Fanstastic 4 movie, Galactus is a future version of Franklin Richards who maybe come back in time to either warn of Dr Doom or Kang or a potential team up of both.
Remember when potentially spoiling a story in a movie was severely frowned upon?
Like if someone blurted out that Darth Vader was Lukes father before the person watching it for the first time gets to that scene. That was a huge faux-pas back in the day haha.
Now we figure out what the movie will be like before it even comes out and we still watch it and still pretend to act happy for some reason even when there is no surprises left.
Such a waste of time haha.
heres my pitch... i think it would be cool if galactus is there to warn reed about a threat thats coming from outside their reality. he tells reed that he is needed to prevent/prepare for it. so that starts reed on his path to finding out what is coming. he does know what to prepare for, so he decides he has prepare for "everything" (Solving the problem of everything). While trying to figure out what to do, we learn about his family and their lives (Strengths/weakness/bond). as he searches other realities and travel, he discovers the council of reeds. And it would be all the previous reeds. they explain that individually they couldnt solve it, but together they can. They talk about the incursions and how they can prevent it. So reed decides that must be the threat. the reeds eventually tell this reed that he needs to be with them to save everyone. Making him choose between his family, or the reeds. He chooses family, and we find out that was the correct choice. He finds out that by choosing family, he ensures his descendants exist, and they are the answer. If he went with the council of reeds, he never has kids. Insert some message about how even though it defied logic, the right thing to do is never wrong. they solve the movie problem, and save their reality. hurray movie ending... then out of nowhere a portal opens in space and we see galactus/dr doom. and galactus is like, reed... are you ready??? and reed is like wtf??? we did it already... we saved the universe. then galactus reveals that doom was the threat he was warned about. galactus figured with all reeds intelligence he would figure that out. but since he didnt, doom just wipes out their reality with the power cosmic/something like that. he gives some line about "i am doom./doom has come to your world". then because of the previous doings/council of reeds, reed has a ship that can escape their reality, and he escapes. anyone they want to carry forward from this movie gets to live. and as a last twist, reed takes this as his failing. and how he can remake their world. remake all of it perfect. he wont fail... and we find out he is the maker. the extra emphasis on "family" and how perfect their bond is would make this extra cool. the happiest, most family oriented reed, becomes the darkest reed. desperate to remake what he lost. end pitch.
This may be the "Galan" version of Galactus as well...
man your idea sounds cool! But here is the Thing.. Marvel lately never went with a cool version, so I don't think they will overcomplicate things and will just make Galactus a one-off villain yet again
I wonder if the MCU will use Franklin Richard’s in place of the Beyonder in the secret wars saga. They have been making a lot of changes from the original storylines so it is not far fetched that they would do something like that.
Remember in the O.G secret wars Galactus wanted the Beyonder to end his hunger to destroy planets? I wonder if that is what he will do in regards to Franklin Richard’s for the SW Saga.
But I could be wrong on all of that. 🤷🏽♂️
I think the first part of the movie takes place before the MCU (aside from the 1st Captain America) and Galactus came and they fought him off and then go out into space to find planets for him but after the blip they come back to earth
One of the trailers has an old man in it - that's Franklin!
@@smarterworkout my only hold back to what you're saying here is that John malkovich's character in the teaser, and yes I know it can look different in the movie, he looks too unkept and Haggard. Franklin has never looked unkept or Haggard.
But.....
When Franklin used his abilities to age himself up, he did have long hair and a long beard, but he still looked like a majestic Golden God. Not crazy old John Malkovich lol.
I don't know man, There's a lot of hype casting going on. Just like everyone else though, it looks like we're going to have to wait. My crystal ball does not work.
Cheers
-Alpharious-
I think he’s trying to prevent an Incursion.
We have all these universes existing and need to somehow get everyone to Earth 19999. I feel like Incursions are the best way to do that. The Fantastic Four takes Reed’s Interdimensional Bridge somewhere as Galactus fails to stop the incursion. It’s the way to get the X-Men and Monica to Earth 19999, too
Rob , can you do a video explaining toon force.
I think Franklin will be the reason there is a cinematic reboot. I think he rewrites the universe so things become blended with the mutants and the recast avengers team (they need younger people).
I think Franklin will be born at the end of this movie.
I mean... I've been saying this since DP&W dropped and introduced the idea of anchor beings.
I'm excited about the FF4 movie as well. Regarding Galactus' relationship with Franklin, I really don't think we'll see decades of lore thrown into this first movie. Much more likely that Galactus just wants a good hamburger. It might be Earth-sized, but still.
Nobody: ...
Rob: Jim Jaspers
Disney will make Franklin Richard’s Jak Jak.
No one can beat galactus then when everyone about die, Franklin comes in with his cuteness and defeat galactus.
“I haven’t been excited in a Marvel movie in quite some time.” -- ROB
*Completely forgets Deadpool&Wolverine came out literally half a year ago* 😂
"And so when the " Rod" was brought back to earth by Reed Richard's, In order to allow Susan Storm, to give birth to Franklin."
👁👄👁
There is absolutely no way this movie has time to get into Franklin's deeper lore.
Marquis of Death mentioned!!!
I'm still Holding on to 2 dreams, That Janet Van Dyne and Kang know this version of the Fantastic Four because at the end of all this, Their 60s version of New York City, gets stuck in the Quantum Realm (The MCU Micronauts of sorts), also that the Citadel at the End of Time in Loki turns out to be the remnants of Doctor Doom's Vibranium/Antimantum Castle. In my mind this would tie up so many loose ends and give a lot of connectivity to others.
🕸🕷🕸 EXCELSIOR!!!
don’t think he’ll come to earth for franklin who isn’t even born yet
and franklin was only a “mutant” because he altered his own genes wanting to fit in or some nonsense like that, canonically he’s not a mutant, he always got his gifts from the cosmic control rod
I heard franklin is supposed to be a baby in this film or susan Is supposed to be pregnant with him
Franklin will either already be born or be born in this movie
Galáctus, put a beacon in Sue storm, the same way he did that with the all the other items like the Bangles, and rings. I think Franklin might be the only one that will be able to use them to their full power.
