10 Things The MCU Needs To Do With The Fantastic Four
9. Heighten The Celebrity Aspect
The MCU has removed the idea of secret identities for the most part, with only characters like Spider-Man really caring about it. But the Fantastic Four were the first superheroes to truly not give a damn who knew who they were.
What made the FF so interesting when the books first came out was how they related to the public. The Richards family are celebrities, open to the public, and as such often victims to the public's fickle whims. There are issues in the Jack and Stan run where they get stuck in traffic, storylines where they actually lose the Baxter Building and have to get regular jobs, and they even have their own PR and merchandising departments.
Reed of course did this, as explained in the Mark Waid run, in order to keep the world from being afraid of his friends and family. Focusing on the celebrity aspect of the Four and keeping this reasoning from the comics would give the Fantastic Four a much needed identity from the rest of the MCU.
