15. "Earth To Richards" References The Original Origin
The biggest change to the Fantastic Four's cinematic status quo made in the new film is the altered origin story - instead of getting bombarded by space rays, they're attacked by some sort of green goo from the Negative Zone. Based on the Ultimates version, it's pretty much necessary in a post-space age world where we know solar flares can't really mutate you into rock beasts. The original origin does get a little nod early on though - Dan Castellaneta's teacher brings child Reed out of his trance by saying "Earth to Richards", referencing the series' space-set genesis.
