I like how they demonstrated Mr Fantastic's combat intelligence in Fantastic Four: First Steps.
In the movie, we see how Galactus's feeding pipes connect to his back. We see through the camera how the nodes are attached and we watch when they disconnect.
But this is something Mr Fantastic never sees. He never sees how the pipes are connected to his back, he never sees them disconnect. In fact, to anybody else, the nodes on Galactus's back could've been literally any celestial space tech.
But Mr Fantastic, in the heat of watching his wife crash their flying car, analyses Galactus's back, determines the function of the nodes and how they work, identifies a tool for the job, and executes.
Mr Fantastic, when faced with his wife in a crashed car, a celestial creature hunting is child, and unknown celestial space technology, manages to stun Galactus with his intelligence and a little stretching.
That is a great example of combat intelligence and they represented it by foreshadowing the means to the audiance way in advance.
I like it.

Also his balls always aim for the balls
All Reed’s plans were good plans based on solid information, but they kept failing one after another due to external anomalies until the last one worked.
THAT'S SCIENCE, KIDS!!
When the others asked him what his plan was and he said he didn't have a plan because there were too many variables and unknowns, that was great.
A lever and a place to stand and I can move the Earth. Without either, though, I'm kinda stuck.
Everyone else was focusing on other things.
I enjoy giving it though!
It’s the difference between tony and reeds intelligence.
Tony will research a project until he has the right answer and take one attempt, Reed will fail until he succeeds.
That’s before he’s had any character growth. Shall I post the clip in endgame where he absolutely refuses to even attempt to help cap until he finds a way to do it safely?
We simply can’t compare Tony now, after however many movies, and Pascal’s Reed after just one movie.
Reed most certainly will go through a character arc, that doesn’t mean you can’t compare by where he is currently.
With your logic, you can never compare a hero to a villain because the hero has had more movies
Then someone leveled the playing field and showed a clip of early Tony failing until he succeeded, to show how similar they both actually are, in the same context and timelines.
You said well, no, because Tony had character development so now he’s different
I said we haven’t even seen Reed’s character development so how can we know if Reed and Tony actually do have different intelligence styles?
I will give the leeway that Tony had literally just become a superhero, versus Reed who had already been superhero-ing for a while before the story in First Steps.
But whatever. These are just silly lil movies and none of it matters
I love some of the weird shit he does in the comics but there’s no way Reed from this universe can do even a fraction of it. It would be great if it turns out he is much more stretchy than even he realises and it just gets more and more absurd.
(I liked the movie a lot and agree that reed showed much more realistic intelligence. He’s still super smart. And literally comes up with impossible tech for impossible situations. What isn’t super smart???)
Genius.
They still give him a lot of stretching in the movie, but it's grounded and smart.
I was never a big Fantastic 4 fan but I always got the impression that Johnny generally just followed his dick and was the pretty boy. I like how they showed he had those tendencies he could be more than that.
