I know why Im not a big fan of Pascal

This isn’t to say he’s bad. But I’d like to talk about the montage scene where he’s teaching a class. He looks and sees the kids are bored, and just blows something up to impress them. I believe the comics Reed, and Ioan Groffards, would ignore the kids and be completely absorbed by the science he was talking about.

Pascals Reed doesn’t have that love of science comics Reed has. It’s just there for him to be smart.

He just wasn't very personable or charismatic

What he needed to be was excitable.

Something other than gloomy and hallow would have been great. I dont think he showed more than 2 facial expressions

Pascal Richards is leaning on his intellect to treat his anxiety. He's worried the bored kids won't like/respect him, so he switches tactics.

He does it throughout the movie. Worried about the world being dangerous for the baby? Eliminate all the criminals at once. Worried the baby will have anomalies from his parents' radiation exposure? Invent a whole new system of scanning to test the fetus. Worried a giant space alien is going to eat your planet? Invent planetary teleportation.

Dude is a walking anxiety disorder and I think Pedro Pascal got that across really well.

Well said. This is far more interesting than the goofy and much more kid friendly take of the early 2000s fantastic four (I stayed away from the 2015 version so no idea how he is portrayed there).

Well that seems a bit dismissive. You’re also saying you hate the EMH version. And the 2000s FF cartoon

So to you good change is complete opposite of why people liked the character. You a fans of Origins too?

relikter2025-11-14 05:42

I'm not sure what you mean by Origins, can you be more specific?

I think it's OK for different actors to take different approaches to the same character. I liked Pascal's take; intelligent people are often very anxious - see Bruce Banner and Peter Parker for examples. You can have intelligent characters who are very confident (Tony Stark, Dr. Strange, Shuri), but they come across as less relatable and likeable to me. The previous depictions of Reed haven't had this _very_ human vulnerability that Pascal's version did, and I liked that aspect of his performance. You, and everyone else, are welcome to your own opinions; I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm right. _Liking_ a performance is very subjective.

Wolverine origins. Specifically what they did with Deadpool.

relikter2025-11-14 05:47

Oh, I hated that depiction of Deadpool. It wasn't comic accurate and didn't add anything new to the character to justify being inaccurate. It was just a character with the same name as a comic character and nothing else in common with them.

No, I’m going after EMH and Worlds greatest heroes

PeterTingle6162025-11-14 07:36

notably they are not comics

I was just very disappointed to see he was casted as Reed. Pedro was in everything, all at once, it seemed like. There’s always some actors/actresses that have a surge in popularity, and I really wanted Marvel to not play into that, and cast someone else. Hopefully a better script will make me like Pedro’s Reed, but I was let down for First Steps.

What if this was John Krasinski's Reed Richards in the movie? Or Miles Teller's Reed Richards?

Myhtological2025-11-14 19:24

My complaint is with the interpretation. Not the actor.
