my idea for a 60s set Fantastic Four movie

>Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny all make it to Mars and plant the American flag in the red martian soil, collect samples, etc... before making their way back to Earth
>On their way back they too are hit by cosmic rays but manage to successfully land
>The Russian rocket is retrieved by the Russians with Doom being the only survivor (who is horribly scarred)
>Meanwhile the four’s powers begin to manifest and are placed under quarantine; news of their successful mission has been revealed to the public and the media dub the four “The Fantastic Four”
>Reed has the power of elasticity (gaining it from the rocket’s experimental lightweight rubber polymer), Sue gains the power of invisibility (from the rocket’s stealth functions), Johnny gains fire powers (from bonding with solar flare particles), and Ben becomes rock-like (from bonding with samples of Mars’ soil)
>Back in Russia the Soviets see the American’s success as a huge embarrassment to themselves and lay the blame on Doom; as punishment Doom’s village is massacred while Doom is put back into prison
>The Fantastic Four begin training to control their powers; Reed is guilt ridden for what happened to his friends and is worried they may never lead public lives ever again - especially Ben
>The military wants to use the Fantastic Four as propaganda pieces and embrace their media popularity; they do so by revealing the team’s abilities to the public and calling them the first REAL American superheroes; this angers the team who still see themselves as freaks
>In his prison cell, Doom’s powers manifest (various forms of “cosmic energy projection”) and he escapes (killing nearly every guard and soldier)

>Doom flees to Latveria and discovers that his village and family massacred; he retreats to his ancestors castle where he finds a suit of armor and cloak which he fashions into new attire which he wears to cover his scarred body and face; it is here that Doom learns of the “Fantastic Four” and stews in anger and jealousy
>Apprehensively the Fantastic Four make their first public appearances in person (they are given costumes to wear - all part of the propaganda angle); to their surprise the four are welcomed by the public and begin to feel more at ease with their powers and new identities (Ben in particular is loved by children)
>A team of Soviet soldiers is sen’t into Latveria to retrieve Doom; the USSR know of his powers and wan’t to use him as their own propaganda piece and weapon; Doom kills the soldiers and decides to take action - never again will he or his people be used in such terrible ways
>Doom returns to Russia where he holds General Secretary Brezhnev hostage and assumes control of the Russian military and nuclear weapons; Doom activates the space weapons program - a satellite with a cosmic control rod that collects cosmic rays and channels them in a form of a ray which Doom plans to use to literally carve the world in his image
>The Americans learn of what has happened in Russia and send the Fantastic Four to stop Doom before he activates it
>The Fantastic Four and Doom battle as the satellite begins to wipe away portions of the United States and Russia landscapes as it moves towards major cities

>Working as a team, and with great struggle, the Four incapacitate Doom and shut down the satellite
>The US government (in contact with the Four) order the Four to move control of the space weapon to the military team; the Four refuse and opt to destroy it, believing no government should wield that type of power
>During this Doom escapes
>Sometime later the Fantastic Four have separated from the US Government, agreeing to look out for the interests of the globe and not just the United States; because of how loved they are by the public the US agrees and as a peace offering allow the Four to take up residence in New York City’s historic Baxter Building
>Alarms go off in the Baxter building as subterranean seismic activity begins to rattle New York and reports of a a giant three-headed monster emerging from the ground pour in; the four suit up and get to work
>Doom meanwhile has fled back to Latveria where he has started to gain a loyal following; Doom declares himself “absolute monarch of Latveria” and works towards inciting further revolution in the region

The End.

Pretty Good!

Its good. Might be a good way to integraye them into the mcu, but work on doom and his origin a little

>this is in line with Stan Lee’s original concept for the Fantastic Four’s origin: “In Lee's original synopsis of the comic the original plan is flying to Mars but Stan Lee writes

Fuck off, Kirby wrote and drew the comics. Lee just wrote cheesy dialogue and captions.

Setting the Fantastic Four back in the 60's IS a good idea. I don't like the idea of having Doom's "powers" tied to them though, he's his own man, dammit.

I always wanted Unstable Molecules to get an adaptation, it really humanizes the team (warts and all) and sets up their dynamics with one another.

The 60s just feel like the appropriate setting for them, like the X-Men or Nick Fury.

>Doom says the rocket isn’t ready but the Russians use it anyway
Eh, I don't know about Doom not being the architect of his own accident. Part of the tragedy of Doom is that he is a genius and in many ways has admirable qualities, but is incapable of truly addressing his own flaws and channels these failures into outward villainy rather than improving himself.

I think it would be nice to play off of the Fantastic Four becoming better because they can lean on each other, while Doom has no one that he trusts to have his back, so he can't ever really grow as a person.

Kirby would write plots but Lee did come up with the original idea for the Fantastic Four.

Challengers of the Unknown came before Fantastic Four. Stan Lee is a hack

Kinda haTe that FF threads get low responses.

Cant wait for wheb Marvel gets FF back we will be blowing Reed Richards cock over here.
