This article contains spoilers For "Fantastic Four: First Steps".

Screenwriters are often home to some of the worst words of wisdom that has ever uttained a human being - pieces of dialogue that fundamentally change the way the audience sees in the world around them. Personally, I have an affinity when those moments of brilliance appear in the most unexpected places. The The movie "Street Fighter" in 1994 was treated as a hitting bagBut the line, "For you, the day when the bison accepted your village was the most important day in your life. But for me it was Tuesday", lives in my head without rent. If there is a line that resembles my understanding of society, it is one of the agent K in "men in black". At the scene, Agent X calls into question the decision to keep foreigners a secret from mankind, claiming: "People are smart. They can cope with it." Agent X opposes this saying, "One person is smart. People are stupid, panic, dangerous animals and you know that."

It is this unpleasant truth that lasts whenever a new wave of mass hysteria as a result of fear, and the one that "Fantastic Four: First Steps" chooses to research. The latest film in the Marvel Film Universe is followed by Marvel's first family - married scientists Reid Richards, aka G -Din Fantastic (Pedro Pascal); Sue Storm, aka invisible girl (Vanessa Kirby); Sue's Kid Brother, Johnoni Storm, Acha Human Torch (Josephosef Quinn); And Reid's best friend, Ben Grimm, aka something (Ebon Moss-Bahrach). The quartet was changed with cosmic radiation during the space mission and returned to Earth as superheroes, turning them into loved ones and protecting them all over the world. When Galacutus threatens to eat land Unless Reed and Sue give their soon -to -be -born baby, the citizens of the country respond as Michael Jordandan's favorite meme's favorite meme.

That is, until Sue Storm delivers movable speech, and the whole world suddenly decided to climb and work together as a team as "Independence Day". Ah, to live on Earth-828

"Fantastic Four: First Steps" takes place on Earth-828, a retrofurist utopia of the Middle Ages, which looks like a cross between the "crazy people" and the "Thesons". Thanks to the scientific achievements of Reed Richards, their world looks hell to much happier than ours. The fantastic four essentially united all citizens on the planet and all coexist in harmony. Most threats are those coming from distant worlds, and those from the inside are quickly handled. Hell, even "mole man" Harvey Rupert Elder (Paul Walter Hauser) is happy to rule the underworld under the streets of Newouper and thinks about his own business. But the "first steps" sees how this world responds when facing a threat that cannot be defeated by peaceful negotiations, and even four modified people with superpowers.

Galaktus has always been one of the biggest bad in the world of Marvel Comics: a cosmic entity that spends planets to maintain its life force. The Silver Surfer (Iaulia Garner) has become one of the announcements of Galcolus in exchange for sparing her own planet and is forever tortured with the burden of being a harbinger of death. However, as well as the threat of galacutus, it is anxiety that is no different from those we experience daily with increased presence of fascism, climate change, war, genocide, poverty and oppression. The planet is in danger, society eats itself, and if we do not understand how to work together, we will self -destruct without presence of God eating a planet. Citizens of the Earth-828 react as expected when they learn that galacutus will spare its planet if Reid and Sue give Franklin's baby, because no matter how enlightened, they seem compared to us on Earth-1218, fears still bring our most appropriate instincts.

They are angry with a fantastic quadruple, protesting outside their home and calling them selfish to save the child, and thus put the rest in death. Reed Richards is trying to mediate science and reason, with insincere speeches or hides in the safety of the Baxter building, but all his tactics have been proven in vain. Sue Storm decided to face face to face with her frightened community, brought with her baby Franklin and chooses not to declare, but to confirm their fears and speak to them in a even field.

And it works.

With the very design of its powers, Sue Storm is not an offensive player. Her invisibility and the ability to create fields naturally set her to be a defensive and even passive associate. When she talks to the public, she does not bloom with a powerful declaration like Captain America, explaining the price of freedom or Tony Stark, revealing that he is an Ironiana man. She Tells tells her community that she sees them as a family and that "the family is to fight for something bigger." It's a simple message, but the one that angry protesters buy completely and immediately ... because people of the country-828, though still the same stupid, panic, dangerous animals like us, are better than us.

Misogenous present in the superhero's phandomes is widespread and insidious. Even when female characters are coded as male as possible and treat almost identical to their male colleagues, the fact that they are women is enough for people to fully check out the film or Actively contribute to the fall of the film ... and that's just the hatred shown when you talk invented women. In our reality, the country-1218, Men see powerful women as threats. During the latest presidential election, experts were However Parrot the tired, sexist trophy that women are too "emotional" to be leaders, and we see more children who are conditioned to hate women and girls So much that they become deadly.

Obviously, the superhero film made under the umbrella of Disney will not kill a baby conspiracy, so the audience is never intended to be afraid that the frightened person will score the building of Baxter and sacrifice Franklin on galacutus. It is not "convenient for the plot" that the world climbed the ship with the plan of Reid Richards to move the country away from galcolus (and later galacutus from Earth) because society actually listened to a woman - Mother - And he did not take second place for his intentions. It is the criticism of our world for making such a simple solution seems impossible. We don't have to exist this. Things can and should be better for us all.

We just have to put our BS aside, stop being afraid and take the first step.
