Fantastic Four (TV series)/Tropes


 * Adaptational Angst Downgrade: Zigzagged. While the Thing still angsts due to his mutation, is less due to his appearance and more due to other downsides to his new form.
 * Mytholgy Gag:
 * To the FOX film series:
 * As in the film, Ben is outsode the ship when they are hit by cosmic rays.
 * The line "If having superpowers is a disease, then we got it bad" fro the film is once again uttered by Johnny.
 * As in Rise of the Silver Surfer, Johnny gets a good first look at the Silver Surfer while chasing him througth Manhattan.
 * Reed's personality was modeled partially after the film incarnation.
 * The first place the Four search for a cure is Monster Island, where the team traveled in their first issue.
 * The shot of Galactus looming over Earth resembles the arrival of Arishem in Eternals.
 * Reconstruction: Sue's ability to turn invisible is often deemed as not-so-useful. However, the series shows that, with the proper skills, she can actually be the scariest member of the team because you never see who you are fighting against.
 * Reed Richards Is Useless: Averted. Reed is shown many times giving his invemtions to the public, and the changes they produce are slow,y reflected througth the series.
 * Sequel Hook:
 * The first season ends with a shot of Silver Surfer enterimg Earth's atmosphere.
 * Season 2 ends with Doctor Doom watching news reports about Gakactus' defeat at the habds of the Fantastic Four.


 * Take That!: Reed's original ideas for the team's soacesuits resemble the suits for the 2015 film, which Johnny dismises in favor of more traditional Fantastic Four suits, which the rest of the team approves.
