Fantastic Four: First Steps full plot leak

Begins with the F4 attending the Ted Gilbert Show, which is celebrating the team’s four-year anniversary. There’s a recap of their origin and adventures so far with cameos from several classic comics villains.

Red Ghost (John Malkovich) plants bombs around the city to distract the F4 while he tries to steal their spaceship. They are able to thwart him and he gets thrown in jail. Reed fights his super-apes on the docking platform for the ship and he throws them all into the river. Once the rest of the F4 rendezvous with Reed at the ship, Sue uses her powers to levitate one of the apes and is like “you threw a monkey into the river?” and Reed says “they’re cosmically-altered baboons, they’ll be fine”, so she throws the ape back into the river.

Natasha Lyonne’s character’s Rachel Rozman is Ben’s love interest and is hardly in the movie. Paul Water Hauser is Mole Man and he also has little screentime. As seen in the trailer, Sue finds out she’s pregnant, the Silver Surfer arrives to herald Galactus, the F4 go into space to confront him, Sue gives birth, baby Franklin has god-like powers and Galactus wants to use him to revive his dead universe.

A major plot point of the movie is that the entire world needs to work together to build a bunch of teleportation devices across the globe that when powered up together will be strong enough to teleport Earth to a place where Galactus can’t find them. There is a montage of other nations building these portal devices, and once they’re done they start a countdown to teleportation.

Right before the countdown finishes, the Surfer swoops in and start destroying the portal devices. She seemingly destroys almost every single one on the planet until the one in NYC is the last one. Right before she is able to destroy it, Johnny broadcasts voice messages of people from her native planet onto the billboards in NYC, then she stops for a moment as Johnny tries to reason with her.

He points out that these voice messages are still being transmitted because Galactus spared her planet, and the only reason he would do that is if she sacrificed herself to him and became his herald. Then we get the flashback scene of her getting abducted from her planet and transforming into the Silver Surfer. No mentions of Norrin Radd . Johnny then guilt trips her into feeling bad about all these other planets that she’s helped feed to Galactus and then she has a change of heart and dips.

Since the Surfer destroyed all the portal devices (expect for the NYC one), they can’t teleport anymore so they have no choice but to stand their ground and face Galactus. They F4 evacuate all the citizens of NYC to Subterranea where Mole Man is in charge. Their plan to beat Galactus is to use the last remaining portal to send him to a faraway place, and in order to get Galactus to step into the portal, they place Franklin in the middle of it and use him as bait. Once Galactus lands in NYC, he scans the city for baby Franklin, and once he spots him, he makes a beeline for him.

While Galactus is marching his way towards the portal, the F4 replace Franklin with a baby carriage, and they send Franklin to the Baxter Building where he is safe with H.E.R.B.I.E. Right when Galactus is about to step into the portal, he realizes Franklin is not there anymore, so he scans the city again and finds out Franklin is in the Baxter Building. Galactus starts making his way there, the F4 try to stop him but they fail and he smashes the building, grabs baby Franklin and starts heading back to his ship. They make a last ditch effort to try and stop him, and that’s when Sue starts using all her energy to push him towards the portal.

Right before Sue sends Galactus through the portal, Reed stretches and is able to grab Franklin from Galactus’ hand and save him. For a second they think they have beat him, but Galactus starts climbing back out the portal. The countdown for the portal to close is about to hit zero, so Johnny’s like “tell Franklin Uncle Johnny loves him” and he starts flying towards Galactus with the intent to sacrifice himself.

Right before he’s able to though, the Surfer swoops in, knocks Johnny out of the way, and sends both herself and Galactus through the portal, ultimately sacrificing herself and saving the day. Sue is dead from using all of her power and Reed tries to revive her but is unsuccessful. He lets baby Franklin touch his mother and suddenly his hands start glowing and Sue comes back to life.

Ben casually says “It’s clobbering time” a couple times near the start of the movie, but the big one is during the final fight with Galactus. Johnny is flying Ben in the air and Johnny is like “say the thing, Ben!” and Ben’s like “no, I don’t want to” and Johnny’s like “come on, just say it” and Ben’s like “fine, IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME” and Johnny launches Ben towards Galactus and Ben punches him in the face.

Post-credits scene

Sue is reading to a slightly aged-up Franklin, who is maybe 4 or 5 at this point (he was a baby the entire movie). He wants to her to read something else so she gets up to find another book. H.E.R.B.I.E. hands her "The Origin of Species" by Charles Darwin as a joke but she goes to pick out a more kid-friendly book. Then when she’s heading back into the living room she realizes something is wrong, so she gears up to attack and when she turns the corner she sees a hooded Doctor Doom holding his mask talking to Franklin (his back is to the camera so we don’t actually see RDJ’s face).

Sounds shit. Reed Richards is like a supporting character.

Fantastic Snore: First Snooze

super-apes on the docking platform

Both Superman and Fantastic Four have monkeys in them... why?

baby Franklin has god-like powers and Galactus wants to use him to revive his dead universe.

So Galactus had no reason other than hunger to go to Earth and then changes plans upon Franklin being born?

entire world needs to work together to build a bunch of teleportation devices across the globe

he seemingly destroys almost every single one on the planet until the one in NYC is the last one.

Why wouldn't the plan be to teleport Galactus away from the start, this is moronic.

Johnny broadcasts voice messages of people from her native planet onto the billboards in NYC

Johnny then guilt trips her into feeling bad about all these other planets that she’s helped feed to Galactus and then she has a change of heart and dips.

Cringe.

starts heading back to his ship.

Why does Galactus have a ship? Why would'nt he just eat the baby?

Right before he’s able to though, the Surfer swoops in, knocks Johnny out of the way, and sends both herself and Galactus through the portal

Fucking hell it's The Last Jedi again

He lets baby Franklin touch his mother and suddenly his hands start glowing and Sue comes back to life.

The child has powers to revive the dead... what a joke.

Doom has zero interactions with them in the movie, so why the fuck would we care?

Sounds so fucking shitty it must be true

This is all fake btw.
