It's a comic book, a one shot one as well. Why not?
UrMomIsMySpotter2025-12-23 02:41
Because people have literally been asking to see the stuff that happened between the formation and First Steps?
Burgoonius2025-12-23 02:55
Are we really asking why? My question is why would you be against this? It’s just more lore for that universe
MyPeggyTzu2025-12-23 03:18
Lore to be discarded and ignored. This isn't anything other than a cash grab.
ninjapro982025-12-23 04:45
It’s just a comic book? It’s not like they’re asking you to spend 20 dollars for a single person for a single movie ticket or whatever
spidervenom6192025-12-23 21:27
For whatever reason most MCU movie films hated it when they asked you to read a book, they wanted everything on film and only what on film to be canon to the storyline when the MCU has never worked like that at all.
pargmegarg2025-12-23 05:22
Yea. They’re just making things people like because we’ll pay money for things we like. This is qualityslop. You only like it cuz it’s good.
MinatoHikari2025-12-23 06:26
I mean, sure, Marvel Studios doesn't care about the tie-ins. But still, you can enjoy something while being aware that it's just a secondary piece of canon (that is, part of it until stated otherwise).
WD_G2025-12-23 02:56
I'm sure the same question was asked when they announced that they were gonna start off the MCU with Iron Man. Or when they announced they were gonna make a Guardians of the Galaxy movie
Mickeyjj272025-12-23 03:01
It’s a comic book so why not. Lore and info for those who wanna learn more about them
Wtygrrr2025-12-23 08:08
Why ask why?
Falcon0822025-12-23 22:58
Money
MattTheSmithers2025-12-23 02:52
This would’ve been a helluva tie-in to release six months ago.
M00r3C2025-12-23 03:02
And we're apparently getting quarterly one-shots throughout 2026
It would've made sense to release these up to the film's release
emeraldeyesshine2025-12-23 17:12
I wish they'd put the one shots in place of some movie previews at theaters. Just roll one before a movie time starts.
Markus28222025-12-23 03:19
…they did that.
moonknightcrawler2025-12-23 13:18
I’m seeing a lot of reactions to this that are just people outing themselves for not knowing about what they’re talking about
Markus28222025-12-23 15:56
I swear I’m about to start seeing “they should have made a Fantastic Four movie and they should’ve put these characters in the upcoming Avengers movies, such a missed opportunity” lol
moonknightcrawler2025-12-23 16:05
That’s honestly not a bad idea. I bet Vanessa Kirby would’ve been a great Sue.
Dice_and_Dragons2025-12-23 14:18
Would also have been great to see animated as well!
Markus28222025-12-23 16:35
They did that
crespoh692025-12-25 21:35
I'm not caught up on anything after NWH, what is the animated one?
Markus28222025-12-25 22:05
It’s a YouTube miniseries called [Meet The Fantastic Four](https://youtu.be/kWL5Uq-7Arc?si=8jsVOb_VYO5-atVw)
diartisreddit2025-12-23 16:52
Did the you mention "helluva"?

Myhtological2025-12-23 03:52
The U Foes?
ReddiTrawler20212025-12-23 11:58
They would be perfect. Actually it's crazy they've never fought the Four in all their history.
PSUNittany182025-12-23 04:17
They should use this opportunity to build up Doom and his rivalry with the FF.
godver32025-12-23 14:48
Ah yes - gotta put the important stuff in the side content. Terrible idea.
ExpressMud80382025-12-23 18:30
as opposed to leaving out the important stuff altogether?
godver32025-12-23 18:46
No - I guess I just mean to say that Marvel has a history of expecting people to have watched/read everything - TV shows, tie-in comics. I hope they pivot away from that and just to the movies as "must-watch" continuity.
spidervenom6192025-12-23 21:26
Trust me, you don't want that in a tie-in comic. So many different people are going to missed it so many times it's not even funny.
They tried that once with the 2015 Avengers and Steve "Rogue" Avengers teams and they both failed massively cause nobody knows when exactly they are a team unless it's happens on screen on a film.
beekeeper_atlamont2025-12-23 05:38
I wish Marvel did quality movie tie-ins more often.
MinatoHikari2025-12-23 06:22
I wish Marvel did quality movie tie-ins. Period. I've yet to see them do it.
Afraid-Housing-68542025-12-23 06:33
They should do tie in comics more, maybe it would get more MCU fans to read comics.
ReddiTrawler20212025-12-23 11:59
Why is the Mad Thinker wearing green armor?
robodrew2025-12-23 17:04
So this will show us all of those fights that we should have gotten as a montage at the start of the film?
UNSC_Spartan1222025-12-23 21:11
I’m thrilled!! 🤩
ProjectNo40902025-12-23 22:39
This stuff should have been a trilogy of films before all this Doomsday crap.
Tgomez111992025-12-24 00:15
I’ve been asking for official MCU canon comic tie-ins for over a decade. Here’s hoping this is the start of something good.
CaptHayfever2025-12-24 01:44
There *have* been official canon comic tie-ins for over a decade. A lot of them end up getting retconned by later movies, though.
Tgomez111992025-12-24 02:06
I’ve read many of the comics you’re talking about. They were marketed as official tie-ins but you could always tell that they were more of an obligation rather than something that could stand on their own. The Star Wars comics are a perfect example of what I’m looking for. They compliment the movies that inspire them while telling their own original stories set in the gaps between the movies.
