@@pigglesgoomshby7249it’s happened to people, a girl from the 80s woke up in a coma in the 2000s pretty sure her dad died and her favourite restaurant was closed and the school she went too was torn down.
4000 weeks is pretty much 77 years. And he was likely in his 30’s when he got the powers. But it also took some time for them to develop the serum to allow him to be human for a week. So this checks out. His human age was probably between mid 80’s to early 90’s when he died.
All your likes lol. The thing lives 4000 years. You got 4000 weeks is 77 years from that somehow? Then the video says the thing only ages in his human form. Meaning as thing he doesn't age at all. However the thing only turned back human one time for less than a day and decided to go back to the thing to help protect the world. What I got from this and your comment is the video doesn't make sense so it through off your comment but at least your math maths lol.

@@hellboyj31 it’s specifically from the Johnathan Hickman fantastic four comics. The movies kind of made their own version of this. But the comics show them make a “serum” and it makes him turn human for one week of the year. So everything checks out. Also he ages at such a slow speed as the thing it’s pretty much zero since it’s like a rock aging so yes to answer that question he does only age as a human. The maths math since Hickman was very exact with his stuff. I was shocked about this too and had to confirm with my local comic nerd.
@@psquared247 uhh my 4000/52 is 77 my dude. Thats how math works. 4000 weeks divided into 52 week portions is how many years your would get. But nice try tho.
Honestly, that's a really good ending for Ben. He lived a hard life as a Hero, risking his life quite often while isolated from the one's he protected do to his condition. And immortality isn't as wonderful as it sounds, ask Deadpool or Wolverine, he saw all of his friends, which could understand him, going one after the other. But having the opportunity to age, even if quite slow, and have a resemblance of a normal life, and even the opportunity to life a normal life once a Year, must be a unbelievable valuable feeling for him. And at the end, going peaceful in his sleep, is a privilege not many Great Heroes get...
Watching everyone you love die of old age, only to heal and know new people and watch it happen again, over and over and over, for 4000 years while your body and mind slowly decay to the point you can't remember what you were talking about, much less who you were talking to. NOT a good ending.
@@Reir0oit's a matter of perspective and maturity, i don't think any one of us could undestand what he feels and how he could cope with it, giving enougj time; any emotional pain can be tolerable, and he had more time than any of us will ever get
@Aditya-sf7bdI mean how old do you think his mind was at that point even though he is only human 7 days a year means almost 20 years per 1000 lived so let's say he is alive 3k years that's 60+ how old he was before becoming The Thing
Was he happy during all that time? I always remember him being sad about being the Thing so hearing he had to endure that for 4000 years is heartbreaking. I really hope hed made peace with it.
You’ll be happy to know, Ben learned to love life a long time ago. Around the time Reed and Sue announced their first kid. Things have been looking up for him. He made peace with himself and Reed, got married to his long-time girlfriend Alicia, gets to turn into a human once a year, and recently adopted two kids. My man’s doing alright for himself these days.
@@Angel-Otk We don't get to see that as part of this story, but in all likelihood, his family grew old and died around him. Though considering that his wife is human, his son is a Kree and his daughter is a Skrull, they would probably have died with several hundred of years between them.
Every 52 years give or take he ages 1 year so every 1000 years he ages 19 plus years so 4k years it’s 80 years old plus his oringal age so near a 100 give or take
Would think he'd live longer and healthier considering on going advances in medicine, and chronic disease issues. In 4k years will 100 year olds be walking around in the metabolic bodies of 30 year olds? 🤔
Reed richards was time traveling because he was curious how long it would take the thing to die because of his aging and after he found out he went back in time and sat down with Ben and had a beer together
I'd fully believe more than a few tried, but given the resources ben would have access to, either he stays somewhere safe, they don't know what his human form looks like, or even in his human form, he's still a force not to be messed with.
I noticed that the saban era battlizers are very top heavy. It's like the thought process was just how much stuff we can make them carry. Disney era battlizers were peak. it's straight up a new suit. You managed to capture each era's battlizers design wise
I mean this is not exactly immortality it’s more so an extended life which is cool bc I’d rather have that but much like immortality those who don’t live as long will burden you if you miss them but that’s the thing is not everyone’s neuro chemistry is set up that way so ppl brains work different having a different personality/ outlook on things may make someone more tolerable of this lifestyle
Immortality is useless if you’re not invincible, so many people die of different causes before they reach 80-90 years. He is super durable but I can’t imagine 3000 years.
Well Reed must have been able come up with the base off the restorative solution, but because of the unique physiology of the Thing. Reed must have finally confirmed that what he all ready knew the thing was practically immortal. Reed knew that there were ways to alter Ben’s DNA back to human, because it had been done so in the past temporarily by the likes of Dr. Doom, The Leader, Galactus, even Reed has from time to time. But nothing could hold. This trip only confirmed what Reed probably knew all along that there was no cure. Just momentary relief from his Thing body and the ability to die of old age. That was way Reed was obsessed with time travel all these years. He had to know and confirm the one thing that he promised his friend from the beginning. That he would cure him. With confirmation of Ben’s time line he knows for sure that he can never completely reverse his condition and keep his promise. That was what truly was breaking Reed’s heart. Even Franklin can’t cure Ben, even with all his immense power.
I would not want to live for thousands or even hundreds of years. What I would ask for instead, would be to stay healthy and strong as in my prime through my life, then just pass away at a normal age (Late 80's,) then just go to sleep peacefully. Much better than living forever in this crazy world.
You see a bunch of humans in the crowd at the graduation ceremony. But it said humanity became a multi-planet empire with alien allies. So it stands to reason humanity is scattered all around space.
I like how it also tells you the name of the city through the future versions of it (except 3012, it didnt show it) 2012 - New York City 3012 - New York City? 4012 - NYC Territory 5012 ‐ The York Prefecture 6012 - TNY Orb
Basically he would be immortal if he never reverts back to his human form. Aging 1 week per year means he ages one year physically in 52 years. Which isn't bad when you think about it until you eventually reach old age. However, it's stupid that he keeps the age when he reverts back. It would take him 520 years to age just 1 year.
They can turn him human. They literally made a serum that turns him human for 1 week. Franklin can simply turn Ben human forever if that's what Ben wanted. It seems like he made it his mission to make the Future Foundation a true force of protection for the galaxy.
Reed and his son was not time traveling it was Reed and his dad his son was with Ben the whole time through out the four thousand years and will still be alive millions of years later since he is a unaffected by time , cosmic beings power and space if the world was re-written by some cosmic being the only person unaffected by this power would be Reed Richard’s son Franklin Richard’s because he himself is a cosmic human Entity he can destroy and make Universes himself and he definitely could have turn Ben human Permanently in fact he could both given Ben full control of his Thing powers and make him immortal at the same time I guess the writers didn’t want to do that
if you only aged 1 week every year. your lifespan would be 4160 years if you wouldve otherwise lived to 80. ben grimm made it to his late 70's in human time.
Damn that panel of Franklin saying goodbye to Ben and kissing his forehead got me. I had to do the same at my great uncle's funeral earlier this year.... I know that feeling Franklin...
If it's base age was around 30 and he aged one week per year that would add another 76 years to his base age so he will be 90 to 106? Human years old. Depending on what his base age was actually.
Benny G is a vet in regards to Marvel Comics. Seeing him end like this warmed my heart so much that I teared up,more than I did in regards to watching Eddie B crumble to dust and blow away in Venom's eyes😂
I think that Reed needed to take this trip to finally be able to believe that Ben didn’t blame him for what happened to him. That even after the accident that turned them into the Fantastic Four, Ben still saw him as a good friend.
Aye bro i just got done watching your video and honestly man let me tell you something, as a lonely person i find it hard when ppl encourage me to continue pursuing a relationship with christ and i dont wanna say this the wrong way but im sure scripture says man isnt suppose to be alone (or something like that) and yet i find it difficult to have a positive energy when all seems lost. How can i continue to pursue such relationship with God because at this point im just scared to die and go to judgement without proper words to say.
That's truly a sad story ! I've often wondered what it would be like to be a human immortal, not just what we are now ! But what you'd see who you'd lose over all that time ! Not exactly fare !
I bet in hindsight that time went by really fast for him. I feel like my life is moving at a rapid speed right now. These days go by so fast! I feel like 4,000 years wouldn't even be enough for me.
1 week in human form for 4000 years (assuming this was possible for all 4000 years) is 75 years total so it makes sense why he died after that bc amount of time
Kinda odd that major reality warpers like Franklin who can make literal universes in his hand made Galactus his herald cannot change Ben back but Doctor Doom can in a few continuities…. Make it make sense.

If it's base age was around 30 and he aged one week per year that would add another 76 years to his base age so he will be 90 to 106? Human years old. Depending on what his base age was actually.
He must have been glad to see his friends on the other side at last
Ok, who let Spiderman writers cook AGAIN?!
Benny G is a vet in regards to Marvel Comics. Seeing him end like this warmed my heart so much that I teared up,more than I did in regards to watching Eddie B crumble to dust and blow away in Venom's eyes😂
Imagine time travelling thousands of years into the future and finding your best find is still alive in that time.
New York in 3012 will most likely be nonexistent
Dang. My feelings have been clobbered.
I think that Reed needed to take this trip to finally be able to believe that Ben didn’t blame him for what happened to him. That even after the accident that turned them into the Fantastic Four, Ben still saw him as a good friend.
I hate it when the uploader doesn't mention the issue number either in the description or the comments.
Fantastic Four 605, by the way.
I love the bond rhat reed & Ben have , its friendships that turned into brotherhood 🫵🏾😊🔥🔥🔥
Him being called Unlce Ben😢
This is wicked, oh and happy New Year to all. Let’s hope next year is a great year.🥳
He waited but never got to see his friend again 😔
What's sadder than being dead forever
Being alive forever
This is breathtaking!
Hickman can write some tear jerkers.
Aye bro i just got done watching your video and honestly man let me tell you something, as a lonely person i find it hard when ppl encourage me to continue pursuing a relationship with christ and i dont wanna say this the wrong way but im sure scripture says man isnt suppose to be alone (or something like that) and yet i find it difficult to have a positive energy when all seems lost. How can i continue to pursue such relationship with God because at this point im just scared to die and go to judgement without proper words to say.
That's truly a sad story ! I've often wondered what it would be like to be a human immortal, not just what we are now ! But what you'd see who you'd lose over all that time ! Not exactly fare !
Best comics of my childhood
Reed seeing that he’s basically doomed Ben to watch all of his loved ones 😢
Not all he got to see his nephew the only one who will out live them all
I bet in hindsight that time went by really fast for him. I feel like my life is moving at a rapid speed right now. These days go by so fast! I feel like 4,000 years wouldn't even be enough for me.
1 week in human form for 4000 years (assuming this was possible for all 4000 years) is 75 years total so it makes sense why he died after that bc amount of time
Kinda odd that major reality warpers like Franklin who can make literal universes in his hand made Galactus his herald cannot change Ben back but Doctor Doom can in a few continuities…. Make it make sense.
The last panel has Reed bring a beer to Ben adn watch TV with him and just chill and enjoy the time together. Great issue.
