Fantastic Four (2005 film): Difference between revisions

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Johnny's reaction to Sue stripping down: "I'm gonna need therapy."

* [[Car Fu]]: Ben

Not a problem. *toss* }}

* [[The Casanova]]: Johnny.

*** Sue also takes offense to being called the Invisible ''Girl''.

* [[Cool Car]]: The Fantasticar from ''Rise of the Silver Surfer.''

'''Reed:''' Of course! }}

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Super-powered Johnny versus Doctor Doom in Rise. Doctor Doom acquires the Surfboard of the Silver Surfer- which allows him to fire stupidly powerful energy blasts- and to combat that, Johnny grabs the powers of the entire team to take him down. Doom never even gets a single shot off.

* [[Disposable Superhero Maker]]: [[Played With]]; the cosmic storm is a once-in-millenia event but Reed manages to recreate it in his lab (yeah) and... well, we don't know what exactly he did with the machine, 'cause it's never revealed in the movie.

* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Subverted. It looks for a second like Reed is staring at Sue in her skin-tight outfit; but then...

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: One of Chiklis' requirements for accepting the role of the Thing was that his character would be make-up based, rather than the CGI everyone else had previously assumed. This meant that Chiklis insisted upon hours of application and wearing heavy, uncomfortable makeup, over the option that would have allowed him to earn the same money in significantly less time simply by voice acting. Why? Because Chiklis was a fan who knew that underneath the rock skin, Ben Grimm's still a human being, and this was best shown by having his actor go through the same thing.

* [[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.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: At least in the comics they never came into actually trying to hurt each other...

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Galactus (called Gah Lak Tus here).

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: Again, ''Chris Evans''.

** Also parodied in the second movie.

'''Johnny:''' Me [[Incredibly Lame Pun|too!]] }}

** Ioan Gruffudd is, in all seriousness, quite a dashing fellow and managed to bring a lot of charm to the character of Reed Richards.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Johnny is so hot for Reed too.

** To say nothing of the subtle homosexual subtext between Johhny and Ben during both movies.

'''Ben''': Well, you got me, kid. }}

** And Doom's [[Foe Yay|obsession]] with Reed.

* [[Invisible Streaker]]: In the first movie, Sue is forced to strip naked in the middle of a bridge because her clothes don't turn invisible along with her skin. A pretty [[Egregious]] piece of [[Fan Service]], considering her powers were designed specifically to rectify this problem (she makes herself invisible by projecting forcefields that refract light, and should make everything within them invisible).

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

'''Reed to Doom:''' Time for your lesson - Chem 101. What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal? }}

* [[I Will Show You X]]: When Johnny and Ben discuss Ben's sex life.

'''Ben''': That's none of your business!<br />

'''Johnny''': Okay, okay! I'm just concerned, that's all. I don't want to wake up one morning and find out she was killed in a rockslide!<br />

* [[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.

* [[Layman's Terms]]:

'''Ben: '''Oh. }}

* [[Lethal Harmless Powers]]: Force Fields, only threatened though.

* [[Misguided Missile]]: Johnny does this.

* [[Moment Killer]]:

'''Reed:''' THE CLOUD IS ACCELERATING! }}

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Sue. Or more accurately, [[Jessica Alba]].

** As mentioned under [[Fridge Brilliance]] the Four's uniforms are modified from the underclothes they wore on the space station.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: The Thing saying, "You know, I used to smoke." Also:

'''Sue:''' "Girl"? }}

** Stan Lee's cameo doubles for this in the second movie; in the film, he was turned away from Reed and Sue's wedding, just as he (and [[Jack Kirby]]) were for the wedding in the comic.
