"Fantastic Four was so unserious"—Fans can’t stop trolling the franchise

The Fantastic Four Franchise had created a buzz among 90s kids. Inspired by the popular comics, the first three sequels of the movie were quite a hit, grabbing the attention of many. Amid the discussions about the first teaser of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, set to release this year, an iconic clip from the 2007 sequel resurfaced.

The viral clip features a power switch between Johnny (played by Chris Evans) and Susan Storm (played by Jessica Alba) from The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007). Although this scene had stirred applause back in the day, it was perceived with amusement among X-users in 2025. It turns out that even the most loyal fans couldn't take it seriously.
