Line 10:
Had a big box office gross despite its mixed reviews, which led to ''[[Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer]]''.
For the never-released
----
Line 36:
*** Sue also takes offense to being called the Invisible ''Girl''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Both Johnny and Ben.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]] / [[Artistic License Astronomy]]: Reed Richards, of all people. Reed's hypothesis states that cosmic rays triggered the supposed evolutionary cycle when a storm of them ran over Earth. There's just one problem: Cosmic rays are prevented from reaching the earth by the earth's magnetic field, which, if Reed's model is anything to go by, still up and running. Furthermore, even if the cosmic rays ''did'' manage to penetrate the field and strike Earth, it would wipe out all (if any) life on it, not create any.
** He may have a point though as these particular cosmic rays are not the "murdering all life as we know it" kind, but the "give people random superpowers" kind.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Subverted. It looks for a second like Reed is staring at Sue in her skin-tight outfit; but then...
{{quote|"Wow! Fantastic! Material made from self-regulating unstable molecules!"}}
* [[Dramatic Irony]]: The scene shot from Ben Grimm's POV, when he wakes up after being hit by the cosmic storm. [[It Was His Sled|Everyone watching the film knows he turns into the Thing]], so when Johnny Storm says, "Everyone else is fine." we think we know what's wrong with Ben. Then it turns out that Johnny is making fun of Ben's ''human'' looks.
{{quote|'''Johnny Storm''': [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|I'm sorry, but the doctors just couldn't do anything to fix your face.]]}}
Line 59 ⟶ 57:
* [[Gratuitous Russian]]: In a wild example of [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]], the name of the Latverian ship {{spoiler|in the [[Sequel Hook]]}}. "Головка пальца ноги" stands for "Head of toe" and made the scene obscenely yet understandably hilarious for Russian viewers.
* [[How Do I Shot Web?]]: Reed and Ben don't have much difficulty figuring out their powers but Sue and Johnny have a some trouble with it at first.
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** To say nothing of the subtle homosexual subtext between Johhny and Ben
{{quote|'''Johnny''': What I'm ''saying'' is, I guess it would just be nice to have someone.
'''Ben''': Well, you got me, kid. }}
** And Doom's [[Foe Yay|obsession]] with Reed.
*** He has cameras ''in his house!!''
* [[Invisible Streaker]]:
* [[Ironic Echo]]:
{{quote|'''Doom to Reed:''' What happens to rubber when it's super-cooled?
'''Reed to Doom:''' Time for your lesson - Chem 101. What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal? }}
* [[Jerkass]]: Johnny's over enthusiasm could be explained for himself, but his joking at and exploitation of Ben honestly makes you wish you could smash up his pretty car too.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: The Human Torch, but only because there was no higher calling than getting girls and making money.
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: Whilst it doesn't last long, Johnny accidentally switching powers with Ben & becoming the Thing after all the crap he puts Ben through. Ben ''clearly'' enjoyed it.
Line 79 ⟶ 76:
'''Ben: '''Oh. }}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: The Thing retains this status from his comic book version. No mean feat, considering Mike Chiklis is weighed down by several kilograms of makeup.
* [[Logo Joke]]: The
▲* [[Logo Joke]]: The two movies--released by [[Twentieth Century Fox]]--featured the TCF logo segue into the page-flipping Marvel logo. The Marvel logo also has a logo joke of its own, featuring only ''Fantastic Four'' panels and making the background behind "MARVEL" blue (like the F4 outfits) instead of the traditional red. Sadly, the extended cut of the 2005 movie removes the segue between the logos.
* [[Misguided Missile]]: Johnny does this.
* [[Moment Killer]]:
Line 86 ⟶ 82:
'''Reed:''' THE CLOUD IS ACCELERATING! }}
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Sue. Or more accurately, [[Jessica Alba]].
** Even more specifically, Jessica Alba. ''In a skintight spandex jumpsuit''. Lampshaded
** Made even more obvious since her power is to bend perceptions or something to that effect. There is no reason whatsoever why she should have to strip.
*** Actually, they justify this - The spandex suits received the same dose of cosmic radiation as they did, so they're the only things they can wear that won't set on fire when Johnny flames on, will turn invisible Sue does, and will stretch as much as Reed can
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Johnny makes popcorn using his powers. Ben uses Thing-strength to squeeze orange juice. Reed uses his stretching to write on blackboards far away from him, and to retrieve toilet paper from another room.
** As mentioned under [[Fridge Brilliance]] the Four's uniforms are modified from the underclothes they wore on the space station.
Line 111 ⟶ 105:
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Debbie. {{spoiler|We don't know anything about her and she is never heard of again after she dumps Ben.}} This was completely intentional though.
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: The movie shows how Reed got his, part cosmic radiation, part obsessive guilt over the accident that caused their powers.
* [[Soft-Spoken Sadist]]: Victor. He only raises his voice once
* [[Tempting Fate]] / [[Ironic Echo]]: "A few days in space. It'll be great. What's the worst that could happen?"
* [[Throw It In]]: "Aw, look -- she's kissing him."
Line 126 ⟶ 120:
** This feel is best seen in the hilarious breakfast scene and the montage that follows it. The whole thing plays out like an hilarious cross of ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]'' and ''[[The Addams Family]]''.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: "All I've seen is a guy who almost got his team killed."
