“the unshakeable sense that I was missing whatever that movie was trying to tell me because I didn’t binge every Marvel series”

For this opportunity to engage in hyperbole, you unfortunately picked a movie with absolutely zero need to have seen any of the series whatsoever, and only one crossover element from any of…

As the Ultimate line eventually got to.

Someone on Bluesky pointed out that at long last a Kirby will make some money from the Fantastic Four.
