15 Worst Superhero Movie Moments Since 2000
6. Fantastic Four: The Team Become The Fantastic Four Because They're Drunk
It's not like 2015's ghastly Fantastic Four film did anything right at all, but the way in which the film handled the origins of the team sticks in the memory as especially misjudged.
So how do the Fantastic Four become the Fantastic Four in this version? After discovering that they won't be on the first expedition to a parallel dimension (which is where the group get their powers), Reed, Johnny, Ben and Victor (Mr Fantastic, Human Torch, The Thing and Doctor Doom respectively) get really drunk and decide, since they want to be famous and go exploring, that they'll do an expedition to the dimension right there and then... completely unsupervised.
Yep, that actually happens. Not only is this head-bangingly stupid (not even a group of horror movie victims are this dumb), but it fatally ruins the characters by depicting them as a bunch of reckless, fame-hungry idiots instead of noble scientists.
Even if the rest of the movie had been better, this scene alone still would've damn-near broken the entire movie since the superhero origin narrative was so poorly done.
