Whenever you do a deep dive into a franchise like this you almost make it seem worth watching the latest entry, which is an incredible skill.

Thank you! To be fair, I will admit, I thought "Fantastic Four" was fine. I've sat through worse movies this summer. It's not going to bother my end of year top forty or fifty, but that's okay. I see a lot of movies. But it's not as good as that opening run of "Sinners", "Thunderbolts*", "F1" and "28 Years Later" was at the start of the season.

I never realized there was this much subtext in the Marvel movies. Thanks for the analysis!
