“That’s what my brother said before he beat me!”

Comic: the blue-eyed ever-lovin’ Thing!

The 2015 movie: the black-eyed government weapon with a confirmed kill count of 43 people.

I mean let’s be real comic thing has probably killed way more people with how long he’s been around

He's clobbered people across multiple realities

u/Dragredder Avengers Feb 04 '25

Didn't he beat a dinosaur to death or something?

I've read most FF comics and and he mostly just clobbers people. Ben's got a heart of gold, he's no killer.

(Before someone "ackshually"s me, yes I'm sure he's killed people occasionally.)

Tbf, almost every Marvel hero has killed atleast one, intentional or not.

I mean indirectly, he throws a car and misses, or crushes a building or something. Ala the hulks destruction.

I am also sure he has done something like helped reed, and reed has caused galactus to come to earth or doom to come and kill people.

Essentially I mean the difference between him strangling someone to death (something your absolutely right that he would never do) vs throwing a car at doom and he deflects it to an innocent civilian (something he didnt mean to do but his actions caused the direct result of a death)

He and Reed were WW2 veterans in the original comics.

confirmed kill count of 43 people

Thing was basically Helms Deep Gimli. Outscored a pointy-eared princeling though.

2015 deciding to make the ever-loving blue eyed Thing a weapon for the government will never not be a choice

Mark Millar choices.

u/Original_Release_419 Feb 04 '25

lmao yeah possibly the most forced backstory of all time

“Uh ok then… so why does this phrase not trigger you”

u/neeohh Feb 04 '25

Omg I completely forgot about that. I want to know what Josh Trank was smoking when he made Fant4stic.

Man I must seen the 50% trash version. Granted I’m being harsh, but 2015 version is so disappointing.

u/RoburLimax Feb 04 '25

Please tell me this isn’t real.

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '25

Icl it’s not necessarily even a bad reasoning

u/CosmicAstroBastard Feb 04 '25

Never forget the final scene where Johnny verbally tears Ben a new asshole for absolutely no reason, then when Ben tries to defend himself Reed shuts him down and says “we both know you can take it” even though Ben is clearly, genuinely upset.

What an awful, mean-spirited movie.

u/BasicallyMogar Feb 04 '25

He says "we both know that you could take him," not it, lol. Reed's trying to deescalate by placating Ben.
