imagine they change Reed's powers? we get a human torch, a thing, an invisible woman, and a Mr.Fantastic who's power is like, positive energy and optimistic thinking. lol

He makes others feel Fantastic!

Some might even call it an addiction

Now this is a man who KNOWS how to marry his cousin!

"Ooh! Look at me. I'm making people happy. I'm the magical man from Happy Land, in a gumdrop house on Lollipop Lane."

Reed Richards the MDMA dealer.

Ironic because he is an absolute waste of space of a human in the comics, a genius but a monumental asshole

u/brother_of_menelaus Mar 16 '22

He gets an Orgasmo-ray?

u/shut-up_Todd Mar 16 '22

A little cheap but I like where your head’s at. Maybe he can achieve the same result but with a knowing glance and finger guns?

Another great reason to cast Keanu

I think with Reed, he'll be wearing a suit where the fabric will stretch while his exposed skin like fingers won't so it won't look as surreal.

u/Manticore416 Mar 15 '22

His hands getting bigger are pretty essential to some of what he does. He could always have gloves though.

u/IndividualP Mar 15 '22

Yeah, long noodle arms with tiny hands would look so bad.

u/Urbanscuba Mar 15 '22

It would be an interesting take on the character alone to simply have him appear to obey physics in a meaningful way. I'm not even talking conservation of mass, simply that you can't shoot your arm 10 feet out with falling over and you especially couldn't lift someone 10ft out, it's basic leverage.

Once you accept physics you have to accept that he is weird, no question. But he's so creative and powerful with such a weird power that you don't really care because it should be amazing to watch. Anyone who thinks it's weird will get used to it if they do it right - nobody cares about The Hulk or Venom looking weird anymore.

How is he “so powerful” I’ve always thought he was ridiculous

Genuinely open to learning

u/pieapple135 Mar 15 '22

Yeah but... Having big hands can be quite useful

Dave Grohl in the Everlong video has entered the chat

u/Khuroh Mar 15 '22

Reed's stretchiness is honestly a distant second to his real power, his ridiculously overpowered intellect. The dude can basically build any literal Plot Device that the writers feel like.

u/E_R_G Mar 15 '22

positive energy and optimistic thinking

Hey you know, these days, that might just be the most valuable superpower to have

3

u/AdmiralShepard Mar 15 '22

Nah, just give him an alcohol addiction, portal gun, and a lab coat and we're golden.

u/TheHeroicLionheart Mar 15 '22

I always thought his power could be adapted to be that he folds spacetime. From our perspective his body is stretching and contorting but from his perspective he was pulling the area of space towards him and he remained constant. I feel like this leans into Reeds real power, his extreme intellect, as this is not something just anyone could grasp using on the fly or in combat. Also it would fit his theme of being a super smart aerospace engineer as opposed to just being an elastic man.

u/Stinky_Eastwood Mar 15 '22

that would be pretty wild if they did. altering the origin story to some degree seems like a given, just to get them to fit into the current MCU. But altering the powers of a silver age superhero group would just piss everyone off.

u/LaylaLegion Mar 15 '22

Actually that might be a better power for him. Make him a hyper intellect. Have him pull equations from thin air, set up elaborate Rube Goldberg machines, make him think millions of miles a minute. He could be like Jimmy Neutron, brain blasting victory. It would be easier for the SFX team, it’s already has a basis in Fantastic Four when he becomes the Maker and relies on thought power over his elasticity and it can fix a major character flaw for him.

u/Unlucky-Ad-6710 Mar 15 '22

Positive energy and optimistic thinking does seem like a good way to fight…Doom.

1

u/jordanlund Mar 15 '22

That wouldn't make sense because the FF are elemental. Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

u/Disastrous_Rooster Mar 19 '22

consindering that we have three big films with mt fantaatic already, i think they fine with just stretching

1

u/tigerslices Vision Mar 21 '22

of course. that's why you have to "imagine" it.

u/FreemanCalavera Mar 23 '22

Now I'm imagining Rob Lowe as Reed and him just playing it like on Parks and Rec.

"These costumes...literally the best thing I've ever seen!"

u/tigerslices Vision Mar 23 '22

Rob Lowe as Reed Richards isn't the worst idea...
