Original music and voice acting!

Babe, what are you doing?

I'm looking for aloe iodine.

It's not here.

Yeah, because that's not where it is.

Hey, can you give me 12 seconds and I'll come and get it for you?

12 seconds is specific.

Wow, these are very expired.

No iodine.

Oh.

Right. Thanks.

But...

Well, that's um... we tried for two years.

I know.

I know, babe.

I thought we didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Talking was not the important part.

It wasn't going to be for us.

And we were, we were okay with that.

We were okay.

mhmm

But...

Wow.

This is better.

It's a lot better, isn't it?

This is great.

Obviously, we will need protocols to account for sub-mutations...

Reed.

...the cosmic effects.

Reed.

We can do this.

Okay?

I really want to do this.

I really wanna do this.

Then what?

Nothing is going to change.

Of course not.

Ladies and gentlemen, we welcome you to a very special event.

Celebrating four years of The Fantastic Four.

And now, your host for the evening... Ted Gilbert.

Well, now. Folks!

Folks, we all know the story.

Four brave astronauts head up into space,

encounter a bit of cosmic turbulence,

and come back forever changed.

Not just the molecules of their bodies,

but also their place in our hearts.

And now, a look back.

This is Excelsior launch control.

T-minus three hours, forty two minutes, nineteen seconds.

Four years ago, man and woman conquered the last frontier as we know it.

The exploration of space.

The best pilot in the world, right here.

Yeah...

The best looking, he means.

It was my mission.

Space exploration.

I assembled the best scientific minds to come along.

Who also happened to be my best friend,

my wife,

and my brother-in-law.

Comms check, everybody sound off.

Check.

Check, check.

Check.

Comms are live.

The last voice you just heard is my baby brother, Jonathan Storm.

And ladies, he is very single.

Kiss for luck.

Kiss?

However, Dr. Richards' expedition encountered an unforeseen event.

That would change, not only in the lives of these courageous individuals,

...Go for launch.

but also the course of our history.

What is that?

I don't know, I don't know.

It must be the cosmic rays!

[NOISE SWELLING]

Obviously, while we were in space, due to errors on my part.

Stop.
Obviously, while we were in space, due to errors on my part.

Stop.

We encountered a cosmic storm that altered our DNA.

We came back with...

...anomalies.

They returned with superpowers.

They became our protectors.

Cannonball!

It's clobberin' time!

I was at the opening of the PanAm Tower when Mole Man attacked.

The Fantastic Four saved my life.

Mole Man's attempt to steal PanAm building

was thwarted by The Fantastic Four.

This is all Reed Richards' fault.

Him and his endless pursuit of progress.

Power to the underground!

When the Mad Thinker tried to sabotage New York City,

The Fantastic Four came to our rescue.

Gotcha!

Have a great day!

They defeated Red Ghost and his super ape army.

They became our inspiration.

This equation not only confirms alternate dimensions,

but it suggests that parallel Earths exist on different dimensional planes.

Who wants to see a big explosion?

ME!

And they became our leaders.

Sue Storm brokers peace deal with Harvey "Mole Man" Elder.

Leader of the underground nation, Subterranea.

I don't trust surface dwellers.

I never have.

But I do trust... Sue.

We have come together today to form a new charter.

The "Future Foundation".

All participating countries agree to dismantle their armed forces.

And on this fourth anniversary, we celebrate.

They are the very best of us.

They are The Fantastic Four.

Thank you Fantastic Four!

Thank you Fantastic Four!

I love you, Johnny!

We love you!

Thank you Fantastic Four.

[CHEERING]

We are proud to call them our guides, our protectors, and our friends.

Let's hear it for Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben!

Thank you. Thank you.

I must say that was all a bit aggrandizing.

H.E.R.B.I.E.!
H.E.R.B.I.E. with the herbs!

How's that sauce lookin'?

Don't do that. Wash your hands first.

It's not my job to watch H.E.R.B...
Just wash em' for me

Let me try that.

Okay, Okay!

Is this guy good?

That is fantastic!

Well, let me try that.
It's incredible stuff...

Stop. Don't do that.

Don't do that.
It's not quite done.

No, It's not quite done

No, it could be done.

But, I'm gonna add a little more garlic.

Not because it's not delicious.

I just want to add a little bit of zip. Okay?

What are you doing?

What do you mean what am I doing?

I mean your gonna ruin your appetite.

I'm hungry.

They're never late for Sunday dinner.

Should we wait?

I guess.

You're late.

What... uh, what do you mean?

What do you mean, what do I mean?

You're late for dinner.

Oh, yes, we are.

Really late....

I'll see you to your...
Yes. We were just.. um

...put some aloe iodine on my shoulder.
Just had to... ahem..

...do his shoulder.

Why is there breakfast cereal on the dinner table?

Why are you bein' weird?

We're not...

We're not.

We're not being weird.
We're not being weird.

Well, you're doing that weird thing with your face.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Are you pregnant?

Yeah, I am.

Yes, yes.

How did you know that?

I looked at your husband's face.

I know, he just cannot keep a secret.

What? Really?

Yeah.

WHAT?

You are gonna be the best mom!

Oh, my god.

And you are gonna be the best dad,

I'm just kidding. You are out of your depth.

But we, we're gonna be the best uncles ever.

Okay.

We should eat.

[LAUGHING]

You're handling this well.

You know, I figured you'd be locked in your lab

drenched in panic sweat.

I have that scheduled for later.

The countdown continues.

As The Fantastic Four prepare to

welcome a new member to the family.

Needless to say, preparations inside the Baxter Building are well underway.

Alright, H.E.R.B.I.E.

Let's start the baby prep.

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Yancy Street bookies are pinning the odds on a girl

at four to five, but the chances of twins are a long shot.

[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

Herbert!
[FIRE ALARM RINGING]

Herbert!

[CRASHING]

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

The oil and gas cowboys want a minute to

to yell at you before you go on maternity leave.

Speaking of, coal lobby.

Lynne, when you see Sue...

Larry, I'm gonna tell her when I see her.

Thank you, Lynne.

The question on everybody's mind is,

will the baby be born with superpowers?

H.E.R.B.I.E. we need to scan the baby.

The internal scan hasn't achieved

the right level of precession for clear imaging.

A deep space transmission.

Let's identify its origin.

Shall we record and file it?

2:15? What 2:15?

I don't have any meetings today.

Ah, Reed!

Oh.

That 2:15.

Thank you for making time.

Johnny, do we have to, today?

I had some thoughts on the new suit design.

There are no new suit designs.

You finished them years ago.

They have dust on them.

I get it.

You're gonna be a father soon.

New responsibilities. You're a bit scared.

I'm not scared.
New responsibilities. You're a bit scared.

I'm not scared.

I'm, I'm busy, Johnny.

I'm busy.

I'm busy.

There's a difference.

New transmission today.

Have you listened to it yet?

More of the same.

It's a complex signal.

Knock yourself out.

Johnny, I'm running a test.

Cool.

I got time.

Bridge teleportation test.

Movement of organic matter.

Six meters.

Thank you, Herbert.

Let's run it.

It worked!

Johnny.

Yeah?

Could you reset the breaker?

Other way.

Babe?

Babe, when you're done, can you...

Hello, H.E.R.B.I.E.

I, um...

I just went by the nursery.

How's it looking?

Um, it's looking like H.E.R.B.I.E.'s building the crib.

Which I kind of thought was a you deal.

I built this instead.

Anyone can build a crib.

Only I can build this.

Anyone can build a crib.

But not, not ours.

Not for him.

This is for him.

Because unlike anyone else, his parent have

cosmically compromised DNA.

Reed.

Reed. We have done every test.

Well, not this one.

You want to see?

Fine.

Let's see.

See?

There's nothing wrong with him.

He's absolutely perfect.

That is such a bullshit way to win an argument.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Easy with the candy.

Hi, Ben.

Hi, Heather.

Heya, Ben.

Hows Sue doin'?

Yeah, she's getting close.

She's craving some Maisie's cookies.

Hey! What time is it?

Say the thing!

That's not really something I say.
Say the thing!

That's not really something I say.

It's clobberin' time!

That's just in the cartoon.

Sorry, sir.

Hey! There he is! Hey!

Lift the car!

You want me to lift up a car?
Lift the car!

You want me to lift up a car?

This car? Right here?

You guys are gonna get me in trouble.

Alright I'll try.

I can't do it.

Alright, I'll try one more time.

[CHEERING]

Throw the car! Throw it! Throw it!

Throw the car? hmm...

Calm down.

Settle down. Thanks for the game.

Hey, maybe throw it next time.

That'll show them.

No, no, no.

It's okay.

I love kids.

Spend the day with ten fourth grade girls

and you may begin to rethink that.

[LAUGHING]

Rachel.. Rozman, yeah...

I'm Ben.

I know.
I'm Ben.

I know.

You grew up near, on Yancy, yeah?

Right there.

Oh, very near.

You know, it feels really good bein' back here.

I like it how everything stays the same.

Like Maisie's?

The best.

Yea, black and white cookies were always my favorite when I was a kid but,

...we used to steal 'em back then.

[OOOOH]

Okay. Well, maybe step inside next time.

The kids would love to see ya.

Yea, okay.

I will! I'll bring cookies.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

I'll bring cookies.

Oh, sweet Jesus.

It doesn't matter how long you beat it.

You're not gonna make a meringue if there's egg yolks.

The real question is, do you have some vinegar or not?

I am a vinegar guy.

I always have been.

Hey. Why the long face?

What of it?

Yeah, sounds like your 2:15 with Reed didn't go well.

I'm sorry, pal.

Hey, I'm fine.

You know, I don't mind. It's just uh...

I hear ya. We'll go to space again.

Yeah, we will.

Oh, nice.

I'm Johnny Storm.

Flame on!

Flame on! Flame on!

Flame off.

Down.

Fantasti-Kitchen, down.

Woopsies.

Stop it.

I finished the crib.

Stop.

Including two extras.

I don't know why.

Go time.

No, it's okay. This...

This... this is me.

For the last few months,

I've been tracking a small number of criminal organizations.

A small number, huh?

47 of them, including the Puppet Master in

The Bowery, The Wizard in Gramercy Park,

and Diablo in Washington Heights.

You baby-proofed the world?

It's a sweet gesture.

It's a thorough gesture.

But, uh, I like punching.

You mean clobbering?

No, I mean punching.

Let's eat.

Hey, what time is it?

It's dinner time.

Get inside.

Sure it's not clobbering time?

Stop it.

Johnny.
On it.

Would you look at that.

Stay back.

Breaking news in Times Square.

There appears to be an object in the sky with debris raining down from space.

Are you the protectors of this world?

Yes, we are.

Your planet is now marked for death.

Your world will be consumed by the devourer.

There's nothing you can do to stop him.

For he is a universal force,

as essential as the stars.

Hold your loved ones close,

and speak the words you've been afraid to speak.

Use this time to rejoice and celebrate

for your time is short.

I herald his beginning.

I herald your end.

I herald...

Galactus.

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Scientists around the world are trying to verify the origin

of this unknown space creature...

Are you tracking her?

She's too fast to track, Johnny.

She is too fast.

But I'm tracking where she's been.

What's a Galactus, right?

And how do you consume a whole planet?

Here.

DA773.

A planet in the Proxima Delphi system.

He ate that whole planet?

Five planets, actually.

Five have disappeared, that I am aware of.

There might be more that fit the pattern.

And the pattern is what?

That they've been chosen with great care.

Targeted.

...weren't just disappeared.

Destroyed.

Wait, you're saying these planets disappearing,

that's connected to her?

Yes.

I've identified the herald's energy signature

and matched it to DA773.

She was there.

She was at all of them.

So, you're saying this Galactus...

Can do exactly what she says it can do.

How long to get Excelsior launch-ready?

Either we go up there or Galactus comes here.

I don't know.

20 hours.

The launch window's in 16.

Guys?
Like I said, 16 hours.

Hey guys?

I'll start the nav clock.

Hey guys?

Alright, you wanna buzz the prep team, and I'll meet ya down there?

Uh, she spoke to me, the herald.

She spoke to me.

She spoke to all of us, Johnny.

Galactus, devouring...

When I chased her, she spoke to me in her language.

What did she say?

Well, it was in her own language.

I don't know.

What were the context clues?

Context.

Space.

And what was the tone?

Angry? Threatening?

No, no, no.

Not at all.

It was, uh...

Kind?

Kind.

Not kind.

Warm.

Warm?

I don't know.

It was, she was, like, right here,

and I was looking into her beautiful face...

and I saw stars,

and I could see me in her face.

She spoke to me

and she was kind of, um...

Warm?

Kind.

Kind?

No.

No, I get it.

Johnny loves space.

Johnny loves women.

Now there's a literal naked space woman.

And Johnny thinks they had a moment.

I doubt she was naked.

It was probably a stellar polymer.

For the record, Ben loves when Johnny speaks in third person.

We need to get ready.

Okay.

So, she spoke to you, yeah?

And?

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

There are 23 of these.

The only repeating language and the oldest recordings.

Now, I don't know who they are or what they're saying.

But this...

This is the same.

This is her language.

Okay.

Maybe there is something.

Reed wants to see you in the lab.

You summoned me?

I finally knocked it off the list.

What?

The new space suits.

Flame retardant.

Maxed out oxygen supply, but you'll have to monitor the gauge.

If you stay flamed on at zero atmosphere,

You will burn through air reserves in less than ten minutes.

Oh!

I take back every single bad thing I've been saying about you.

To myself.

...in private.

Four years ago, we were dreamers.

Back then, the unknown meant adventure

and mystery,

and discovery.

And space, the greatest mystery of all.

The last mission led to the accident that mutated them and gave them new strength.

What we learned was that the unknown also meant fear.

And profound, radical change.

Hey, pal.

Johnny showed me the new suit.

It's pretty spiffy.

Especially compared to the old ones.

How are the old ones?

They weren't adequate.

Eh, who could'a known?

Me.

I could have known.

Stop.

Please, you gotta stop beatin' yourself up about this.

You know, Stretch, I got bad news for you.

Ya ain't that smart.

Well, except I am that smart.

Oh, yeah?

Can you cook?

It's more of an art than a science.

Did you pass your driver's test?

That was due to poorly marked signage.

Oh.

[LAUGHING]

This Galactus, this Herald?

They got no idea what they're up against.

So, the four of us will return to space and

face the danger waiting there.

And we will find this Galactus.

Soon the engines will fire, we'll be aboard

You know it will be the first time

a pregnant woman has done it in the history of the world.

I know.

I really do.

Just because I'm not talking about it,

doesn't mean I'm not thinking about it.

About him.

I really love my new suit.

It's really your old one

It's just a lot bigger.

Bluer!

It is actually bluer.

Just a little extra round the sides is all.

This is the Excelsior launch control.

T-minus two hours, thirty-seven minutes, twenty seconds.

Here we stand.

Prepared to face the danger

that is unknown.

The danger that's threatened our home.

Threatened our families,

and threatened this planet.

The unknown will become known.

And we will protect you.

We will protect you.

Final check and check, please.

Check

Check.

Starting engines.

Go for launch.

WOOHOO!

Ladies and gentleman.

We have a successful launch.

[CHEERING]

And from all of us on Earth, we wish you good luck.
[CHEERING]

And from all of us on Earth, we wish you good luck.

And godspeed.

Thank you!

You seein' that?

Approaching the FTL engine.

Wait for my signal, Sue.

And in three, two, one, mark.

We are...

...locked.

We are clear for FTL navigation.

Faster than light in three, two, one.

So, this binary system here.

LHS 275, yes.

Where we find her, we find Galactus.

Reed, what are we up against here?

Some sort of a space dragon or something?

Cool.

We don't know, but it's basic tactical science.

Observe, assess capabilities. Have H.E.R.B.I.E. collect

any liquid, gas and solid materials.

Analyze his physiology.

[SNORING]

Look, if it's just some big guy in a ship,

then yes, you can punch him out.

[LAUGHING]

Wooahh!

Coming in on the dark side of the system's larger planet.

Copy that. I'm gonna take us out of FTL.

Okay, everyone.

Be prepared.

So where is this Galactus?

That's strange.

The Herald's heat signature is coming from

inside the planet.

What the hell is happening to that planet?

Is there something alive down there?

WHAT IS THAT?

Ben!

Dropping us out of FTL!

Watch out.

Sue, hide us.

It's all gone.

The whole planet.

And it was 13% larger than Earth.

Ben!

Its not responding. I'm locked out.

Herbie! Try to stabilize the engines!

Whats goin' on?

It's got us! It's pullin' us in.

Kill the engines.

Kill the engines!

[PULSING]

Johnny...

Your girlfriend's back.

Hi.

Galactus will see you.

I'll go.

All of you.

You should not have come.

Follow.

Let's get everything. Collect samples

What does Galactus want?

He doesn't want.

He feeds.

How does he choose which planets to consume?

He does not.

You choose.

Yes.

Uh, Johnny.

What are ya doin?

Gonna charm her.

So what did you say to me?

When you threw me off your board.

What did you say?

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

It's a blessing.

It means...

"Die with yours"

Die with yours?

Last question.

So, the surfboard, right?

Is that part of your body?

[SCOFFS]
Is that part of your body?

Or is that...
[SCOFFS]

Or is that...

She dumped you already?

No. It went well.

You stand before Galactus.

The devourer of worlds honors you.

We are honored.

I was once little like you.

Billions of years ago.

A man from another world.

Before this relentless,

eternal hunger.

You have traveled far.

Yes.

To beg for mercy.

To talk.

You carry power to save your world?

Yes, I believe we do.

Inside of her.

The child.

Child?
What?

He hungers.

What does that mean?

I will spare your world.

In exchange for the boy.

What?

No.

He possesses the power cosmic,

and he will inherit this cursed throne.

It's not true, he's,

he's normal!

We would know.

I would know.

I, I tested the child!

He hides his nature from you.

No.

What are you doing to her?

Baby's coming, baby's coming.
Now?

You will not have our planet.

And you will never have our son!

Ahhhh!

I will eat your planet slowly.

While your child watches.

Ohhh!

Come on!

No, you don't!

Hang on!

I'm comin' buddy!

H.E.R.B.I.E. prep all systems for immediate launch.

The surfboard is not part of the body!

Go!

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Hurry.

Ahhhh!

Get us out of here Ben!

Hang in there, Suze. I'll get you home.

Get us to the FTL.

FTL in visual range.

Reed.

I am here. Sue, I'm here.

Surfer on our six.

Attach and jump!

And go where?

Anywhere. Just jump!

H.E.R.B.I.E., I'm gonna need your help stabilizin' this thing.

Hold on!

BEN!!

We lost her.

All clear.

She's still on us.

Johnny, kill her.

Really?

Yes, she wants to take your nephew.

Kill her!

Alright! Alright!

Just when I finally met someone interesting.

It's bending the beam!

The wormhole is bending the beam!

Reed, I cant get a lock on her!

Figure it out. Figure it out. Come on.

Reed, what's the plan?

Ohh!

Johnny, quit screwing around!

I don't tell you how to drive the ship!

Don't tell me how to kill sexy aliens!

Stop callin' her sexy.

Ohhh!

Yes!

Saw that?

Yes!

She's back!

Reed, I can't shake her!

Working on it!

Slippery.

REED!

Drop us out of FTL here.

That's a pretty big neutron star.

I know.

We're gonna use it.

Isn't that basically a black hole?

Won't that kill us?

Taking us out.

What's the plan?

Draw her close enough to the star, she'll get stuck in the gravity well.

There will be time dilation.

How much of a dilation?
There will be time dilation.

How much of a dilation?

Is it more than mine?

It will take her a month to break free.

Take us in, Ben.

Reed, if we get sucked in...

Ben, trust me.

Hang on.

COME ON!

It's chewing us up!

Get closer.

It's chewing us up!

Get it closer!

Come on Reed. What are we doing?

Sue, we need 30 seconds of invisibility.

Can you do it?

After your next contraction.

Ahhh!

Ohhh!

Yes!

Hell yeah!

You alright, Sue?

Ohhh!

We need to strap you down
Strapping her down!

Do not strap me down!

Not strapping her down.

Hey, you need gravity to push.

This is not right. It's not how its supposed to be.

I know. I know.

But we're gonna make it work.

You're doing wonderful, my love.

We don't have enough juice to get home.

No, we do not.

I could slingshot around the star.

Draft off the terminal momentum.

We need get to .88 speed of light.

Reed?

Johnny, the velocity gauge.

Reed!
Johnny, the velocity gauge.

Johnny, the velocity gauge.

On it.

It's okay.
Don't go. Don't go.

I'm here. I'm right here.

Beginning slingshot. Here we go.

Coming up on .82.

On your mark, Johnny.

Why? Why do they want to take him?

Something is wrong with him.

There's nothing wrong with him.

You don't know.

Yes, I do. I do know.

No you don't. You know everything, but you don't know that.

What if it's a monster?

He's not a monster.

Everything's gonna change.

Nothing's gonna change.

It will change.

I promise you.

You can't... you can't promise that. You can't promise that.

He's coming. He's coming.

Take my hand.

.84 Ben?

Hang on!

Sue, push.

Yes, you can.

.85.

One, two, three,

Push!
Ohhh!

.86!

Push! Push! Thats good!
AHHH!

.87!

Mark!

Ben?

H.E.R.B.I.E.!

Ben, help!

Thrusters engaged.

H.E.R.B.I.E. get ready!

OHH!!

Hang on, everyone!

[CRYING]

I got ya, little buddy.

Franklin. It's okay.

After a month-long return trip, The Fantastic Four have finally landed

and receiving a warm welcome.

[CHEERING]

The baby!

Wow, unbelievable!

Lynne, we're going to need...

Come this way.

Sue! Dr. Richards, here!
Dr. Richards!

Let us pass. Let us pass.

Sue!
SUE!

They're ready for you.

Step up. Just keep it brief.

I'm sorry, we don't have a prepared statement.

[CLAMORING]

One at a time please! One at a time.

Connor.

Welcome back.

Can you take us through how you defeated Galactus?

How we...

We didn't.

Not yet.

Not yet, we haven't.

Follow up!

What do you mean, you didn't?

We attempted to negotiate, but Galactus,

he asked for too high a price.

Well, what does he want?
What did he ask?

He asked for our child.

He said, give us your child,

and I will spare the Earth.

We said no, obviously.

We said no.

[CROWD SHOUTING]

You said no?

Could giving the child to Galactus save us?

[CROWD SHOUTING]

Johnny, stay for this!

Answer this!

Are we safe?

Are we safe?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

You don't know.

[CLAMORING]

I'm sorry.

I have failed you.

I need the child.

I must get the child.

But he's just a baby.

He is a being of infinite power.

One strong enough to absorb my hunger.

So that I may finally rest.

How much time do we even have?

What do we do when he gets here?

And what about the ship?

We blast it, problem solved.

We can't blast it.

Conventional weapons won't work.

So, we run.

We run?

Draw him away from Earth.

We're faster than him, right?

Not faster than the Herald.

Well, we a head start.

But that's all we got.

And then he can still eat the Earth anyways.

Reed. You want to take us through what you have?

What I have?

Yeah.

What I have is nothing.

Nothing?

Did you say nothing?

I analyzed the samples H.E.R.B.I.E. took from Galactus' ship.

All evidence suggests that it predates our universe.

Our reality.

It may take ten years to understand it's composition

let alone its existence.

Are you talking about a god?

I'm talking about something beyond our experience.

An unknowable life

who imagines Franklin as his successor

and possessing some kind of cosmic power.

That can't be true.

You ran all those tests, right?

I have, but I don't know what can and cannot be.

I'm not sure how long.

I'm not sure of anything, I...

I have nothing.

I have nothing!

If we could solve something, any link in the chain.

E is the effort force, R is the lever arm connected to the effort.

L is the load, R is the lever arm connected to the load.

Archimedes, the law of levers.

Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the Earth.

We need a lever.

Anyone want to translate that?

Yeah, we solved the right small problem, we solved the big Galactus one

Yes. Yes.

Alright, boys.

Let's go look for the levers.

Yup.

You know, you supposed to sleep when the baby sleeps.

I been um.... readin' the books.

He thinks the baby actually sleeps.

I've got to show you something.

What do you want to show me?

It's really good. Sit down
Johnny...

I barely slept last night.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's not like you chose this whole thing, being a mother, you know.

Sit down. Good.

I gotta show you.

Trust me.

John, it smells.

It's pheromones. Relax

Alright.

Racking back the helmet cam.

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

It's a blessing.

It means...

"Die with yours"

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

I told you I heard that before.

Now, we have a sentence translated.

And we can use that to figure out what all this means.

I mean, Reed can build an algorithm, and then...
His big brain is busy.

I'm all over this.

A Rosetta stone to find him an Archimedes lever.

See?

I can reference old stuff too.

The Fantastic Four has verified that an unknown spacecraft,

believed to be Galactus, having just passed Jupiter.

Financial institutions remain closed,

whilst angry protesters take...

The newly formed "Galactus" cult intends to summit Mount Everest.

Tempers boiled over in central London today, breaking out in violence.

As the whole world wonders, what is to be our fate?

Hey, what about us?

We got families too.

Guys, it's gettin' bad out there.

It seems to me they have no plan for Galactus.

We, as a society, have to reckon with the idea

that The Fantastic Four could save us,

today, but they choose not to?

The idea is simple.

Reed Richards and Sue Storm hand over their baby and we all live.

One life...

[EXPLOSION]

They're scared.

Who isn't scared?

That...

is scary.

Why?

They can't hurt us.

I'm scared because they hate us.

They think they might die and they hate us

for it, and they hate Franklin.

And maybe they're right, because right now we don't have a workable plan.

The clock is ticking.

So, their plan looks good. It's...

mathematical, it's ethical, and it's...

...available.

What are you saying?

I'm not...

saying...

anything.

[BABY CRYING]

It's alright, it's okay, baby.

You know Ben's wrong.

There are always people who can hurt you.

Sue, please hear me.

I would never give him up to Galactus.

I would never do that.

Mathematical?

Ethical? Available?

It's just so easy for you to say that.

It means nothing.

It means I know you.

I know how your brain works.

It means you've thought about it.

It means you've rolled it around in your head and you've worked the problem.

Which means nothing.

It is my job to think terrible things so that terrible things don't happen.

That's not your job, Reed.

That's you.

Okay.

You're right, it is me.

I don't dream,

I don't wonder.

I invite the worst possible thing into my head...

to figure out how to hurt them before they hurt anybody else!

And you know what?

Sometimes, sometimes you being you...

hurts me.

Well, I don't mean to.

Come here. Come here.

Listen, I am going to solve this.

I'm gonna make it right.

We don't know what he is or what he might become.

But I am not giving him up.

I wanted to introduce you to someone.

This is our son, Franklin.

There's been a lot of talk about him.

[BABY FUSSING]

Most of you know me.

You know my story.

When Johnny and I were kids, our parents were in a car crash.

Our dad was driving and, and he lived, but um...

our mom didn't.

I know what it's like to be part of a family that was torn apart.

Our dad, he wasn't always a great father, but he wanted to be.

He did his best.

He wanted us to be together because that's what family is.

It's about fighting for something bigger than yourself.

It's about connecting to something bigger than yourself.

It's about having something bigger than yourself.

And the four of us, the four of us are already do because we have you!

You know, our mom always used to say,

Suzie, for you, I would move heaven and earth.

And we would do that for you.

I will not sacrifice my child for this world.

But I will not sacrifice this world for my child.

We will face this together.

We will fight this together.

And we will defeat this together.

As a family.

Archimedes.

The law of levers.

Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth.

We are going to move heaven and earth.

Well, just Earth.

Sue?

You solved it.

I did?

Yes.

We are going to move Earth to a place that Galactus will never find us.

How?

Well, we already have the lever.

The bridge.

The bridge is a prototype.

We moved an egg across the room.

You think you can do that with a planet?

We are out of options.

We have to make it work.

We will make it work.

Heaven and earth.

We interrupt this program with a special report.

And now an announcement from Reed Richards.

As you're about to see, we've solved the physics of teleportation.

H.E.R.B.I.E.

The difference between a planet and an egg is only scale...

Starting immediately,

We will create teleportation bridges spanning the globe.

They will be synchronized and interconnected.

Capable of transporting our planet to a new solar system

within a 2% margin of the inhabitable zone.

But more importantly, away from Galactus.

Where he won't be able to find us for millions of years.

Time is not on our side.

We're reaching out to the world with a list of materials that we need in bulk.

Plutonium 239.

Alright, people.

Like my old man used to say, if you don't know what to do, pick up a shovel.

Alright here. We have bridges to build.

Let's go.

The last 36 hours has seen an historical mobilization of every country working

together in a way the world has never seen before.

With Galactus' ship deep within our solar system,

and The Fantastic Four's "Hail Mary" in the balance,

we are calling on every helping hand.

If you can do something well, now you can do it for your planet.

We're getting reports that Galactus has passed Mars.

H.E.R.B.I.E. record.

It takes too much power.

I only got this to work by only tripling my intake, which

drained the New York City grid in two seconds.

To do this, there isn't enough power in the world

I'd have to turn off every light switch on the planet.

For how long?

Factoring in, we gotta keep building the bridges.

How long will we need to conserve power?

Sacrifices will be made.

We all need to conserve power at a scale never attempted before.

Quite right, H.E.R.B.I.E.

All the power.

The worldwide energy curfew only works if

everybody does their part to conserve electricity.

Oh, missed a spot.

Yeah, curfew fried it.

Now I look like an idiot.

A beard can be cool.

Seriously?

I built this to see what you look like.

You see?

Most fathers want their sons to look exactly like them.

Inside and out.

But...

I don't want you to be like me.

There's something wrong with me.

Always has been.

The more I look at you,

...the less I know.

And the less I know, the more scared I am.

So you know what?

I'm not gonna look anymore.

I'm gonna let you tell me who you are.

And if you'd like to tell me now, that would be helpful.

Especially if you're an all powerful space god.

I'd like to know that sooner rather than later, if you don't mind.

Oh. Oh no.

You're busy peeing.

Fair enough, good boy.

Thanks, buddy.

This is going to work.

It has to.

Yes!

Yep. Coming! I'm coming, coming.

Guys!

I am on to something!

We're moving a planet here, Johnny.

Yeah, Johnny.

It's four.

Fantastic Four.

Let's move a planet.

Good beard.

Really? Thank you.

Copy, Delhi.

Yes, copy London.

Copy, Paris.

Copy, Delhi.

Copy, Vienna.

Copy Prague.

Copy...

...Chicago.

Time to call for the countdown.

What is that?

What's happening?

She's going for this bridge.

No.

She's coming for Franklin.

Lock the building down!

Wait.

Where's Johnny?

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Shalla-Bal!
SHALLA-BAL!

[FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

You understand these messages.

You know my language.

I know a lot about you...

Shalla-Bal

How do you know that name? And how did you get these?

"Die with yours"

How?

He barely has a grasp of the English language.

Twenty-three transmissions.

All in your language.

Traced back to the planet Zenn-La.

Your home.

They were looking for you to thank you.

Once I translated one phrase,

I pieced together enough language to understand

a part of your history.

You were some sort of scientist or astronomer.

When Galactus came, you offered to serve as his scout.

to spare your planet.

Was it to spare your family?

He turned you into this.

Shalla-bal.

Those were messages from the one planet Galactus skipped.

Your planet.

These planets weren't so lucky.

How many do you remember, Shalla-bal?

Proxima Delphi?

Saigus.

Do you remember Polaris?
[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

They begged for mercy.

You brought Galactus to all of these planets.

And now, you're bringing him here.

To my home, to my family!

[SCREAMING]

I'm just trying to save my world, you know.

Like you did.

So give him the child.

If he was older, he would do it himself.

Like I did.

So, take me.

Take me. Not the boy.

Let me make the sacrifice.

It's not yours to make.

Then stay and help us.

There is no help.

Take the child and leave this doomed place.

Maybe you'll live long enough to forgive yourselves.

Johnny, that was incredible.

I mean, does it even matter?

You saved Franklin.

Yes, it matters.

Reed?

We're not leaving, are we?

No, no, we're not...

We're not leaving.

[RADIO CHATTER]

Alright. Yeah. Same here. Just a second.

Yeah, this is Johnny Storm...

[RADIO CHATTER]

We're not leaving. I'm sorry.
[RADIO CHATTER]

.. London. This is London.
[RADIO CHATTER]

.. London. This is London.

Do you copy?
Hold London.

We have to bring him here.

Yes. I understand, please stand by....

Yeah.

We need to bring Galactus here.

I will come back to you, hold please.

I'll call ya back.

Hold on.

Reed?

We need Galactus to come here?

I feel like we spent a lot of time

tryin' to prevent that from happening.

Listen to me.

We need to get him away from his ship.

We need to bring him here, to Times Square.

And then what?

And then, instead of moving the planet

away from one giant,

we move one giant away from the planet.

If we route every power grid on the eastern seaboard

through our one last bridge.

Charged back up.

We can keep the portal open...

For...

Thirty-seven seconds

Thirty sev...

Not much time to throw a space god off a planet.

No, it is not.

And where do we send him?

To the far reaches of the universe. Without a ship, he'll be stranded.

How are we supposed to get Galactus to Times Square?

How do we move one giant through one large bridge?

I haven't figured that part out yet.

You have.

Have what?

We have to use the only thing Galactus wants.

No.

I'll think of another way.
What are you talking....

You can't.

You can't think of any other way.

I will.

There is only one way.

What are you talking about?

We have to use Franklin.

Yes.

You want to use the boy?

You want to use the boy as bait?

No.

That's your plan?

Not. It's not my plan.

It's our plan. It's the only plan.

That's not my plan. I hate that plan.

That's a bad plan.

Come on. Terrible.

That's a stupid plan.
Why don't I just burn through his ship?

That's another plan.

Reed, that's insane!
This your kid we're talkin' about here

There's gotta be an easier way.

I know.
There's gotta be an easier way.

I know.

Sue, Sue...

Yes, I know! I know!

I thought this was one of the most beautiful

things we ever built.

It feels terrifying now.

It can be beautiful again.

Everything can.

They been gone a while.

Johnny.

Go check, see if they're back.

I'm in no rush to do that.

Well, I'm definitely not gonna check.

I'm definitely not going either.

Thank you for going and checking.

You're welcome.

It's the least I can do to say thank you for going down and checking first.

I'm definitely not going down.

Making checks?

Oh, Jesus!

Don't do that. I hate it when you do that.

Exactly.

Come on.

Let's run through the details.

I don't like when she does that.

It's like...

It's unsettling when people just appear like that.

Bullet-proof.

Shock-proof.

Radiation-proof.

Franklin will go here when Galactus arrives.

Hey, do we know what direction Galactus will be comin' from?

Well, it could be from anywhere.

But when it crosses those lines, we trigger it.

We're in the very center of the city.

We're surrounded by miles of apartment buildings.

Any path he takes, he's gonna be going

through thousands and thousands of families.

I have an idea you'll hate.

My, very advanced.

So, this must be where the sausage is made.

I think I'd prefer just trying to steal the sausage.

Don't touch.

We'll fix that uh...

Harvey...

Hello there, little robot man.

Can you dim the lights for me, please?

Harvey, we wanted to ask you something.

And whatever it is, I would like him

to ask me.

It's not, it's not Reed or me asking.

It's the entire planet asking.

Well, it wouldn't be the entire planet, now would it?

Just the over part.

No, Mr. Elder. We've met Galactus.

He'll eat the under part first.

Well, regardless...

Why don't you butter me up?

Spread it on.

Okay, Mole Man.

Mole Man?

If you touch another piece of my tech...
Mole Man?

Harvey, wait!
If you touch another piece of my tech...

That is enough.

Take the mole out of it.
That is enough.

Take the mole out of it.

That's Mr. Elder to you.

Give us a minute.
That's Mr. Elder to you.

Give us a minute.

Just give us a minute.

Yes, that's it.

Johnny, don't be mad.

I didn't dress you.

Don't listen to him.

You're handsome.

Harvey.

I'm sorry, Sue.

End of days.

We all gotta learn how to laugh.

So, what do you need?

Evacuation orders are in effect in the greater New York area.

Please report to Subterranea

Evacuation orders are in effect.

Welcome to Subterranea.

Hello, there!

Welcome, sunshiners.

Yes, do me a favor and just wipe your feet, upon entry.

I'm kidding, it's all... dirt.

Good evening.

We, the people of Earth, prepare for what could be

our final moments.

The hours ahead may feel long.

But we must use them to support each other.

And we must hope.

We must dare to hope.

We must use the time wisely.

to be with the ones we cherish.

Sorry, just... hi.
Hey.

Hey, you uh, you're lookin'

very distinguished.

I'm surprised to see you here, I...

You come for spiritual guidance?

Oh, no, no.

I just...

came to see you.

I leave you tonight with these words.

Never doubt that a small group

of thoughtful, committed citizens

can change the world.

Indeed, it's the only thing...

...that ever has.

Positions.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't cry.

I'll be back in a minute. Okay?

Just a couple more steps.

Clever little bugs.

He's going for Franklin!

Light him up, Johnny!

Ahhh!

Ben!

Oh my god.

Ahhh!

AHHH!

What time is it Ben?

No.

What time is it Ben?

No, Johnny.

Say it!

I don't wanna!

SAY IT!!

IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!

[CRYING]

[CRYING]

You are my salvation.

My deliverance from this vicious hunger.

Time to feed.

Put down my son!

Sue? He's too strong!

AHHH!!

He's too strong. Stop. It's too much!

Get Franklin!

Sue, STOP!

Save our son!

[CRYING]

Johnny, the controls!

AHHH!!!

[CRYING]

Hang on, Suze!

Start it now!

AHHH!!!

Reed.

It worked!

Tell Franklin Uncle Johnny loves him.

AHHH!!!

[CRYING]

Sue.

Sue?

I got ya.

Sue.

No.

No.

Sue, Sue?

Is she breathing?

No.
Is she breathing?

No.

No.

No, baby, no.

You stay with us. You stay with us. Okay?

Please, stay with me, Sue.

Stay with us, baby. Stay with us, baby.

Come on, Sue!

Come on, Sue. Stay with us.

Don't leave us.

SUE!

Come on, baby!

I'm sorry.

[CRYING]

[CRYING]

Ohh!

He's not us.

He's more.

Wow, folks we have so much exciting ground to cover today.

In the last year, a lot has happened.

We have seen it with our own eyes,

But tonight, we're gonna see it through theirs.

Our city, our country, our planet...

There's nothing to be nervous about, you know, just stick with it.

This will be done before we know it.

Obvious to say, but it is definitely worth talking about,

is the fact that the surfboard,

is not a part of the body.

Okay, so...

Ted wanted me to give you something as a thank you for doing this.

Oh.
Ted wanted me to give you something as a thank you for doing this.

Oh.

Interesting.

He would love it if Franklin would wear it for this in one minute.

No, actually, no, I don't think we can.

Well, I'll break the bad news.

Thank you, Lynne.

You're welcome.

Places, please.

It's too early.

Way too early.

It's too early for that kinda stuff.

He can't even sit up without help.

...do not have to let me eat breakfast this morning.

So, maybe I could eat a magic baby.

Get his hair. Like this.

Who knows where his powers will take him.

But, right now, he's here.

Got him.

Explorers, heroes, citizens or

leaders, they continue to change,

becoming whatever we need them to be, whenever we need.

Going in ten...

Ladies and gentlemen, just when you thought...

we couldn't love, admire,

or to appreciate them anymore than we do

and now twenty-five percent more fantastic,

Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben and Franklin, The Fantastic Five.

Precious cargo.

Comin' through.

[CHEERING]

It's this.

No, I set that already.

Let's get this cargo in.

Woah Woah. You gotta set it in first before you close it.

Set it in.
Yeah.

It's gonna make that noise until you

thread the belt under the chair.

And when you get it to the other side,

You gotta feed it through.

Pull it if you can.

Yea, I put it right through...

Alright, I got it.

Pull this over.

You gotta thread it through, connect it and then pull the slack.

I'll get it.
Move, stop.

Just push from above. Push from above.

Pull the slack!

I did. I pulled the slack! It's thread through!

I can't feel my hands.

You from the left, you from above.

Three, two, one.

Oh!

Yes!

That's a good sound!

Yes!

Okay, we're done.

Subs cobbled together by Regs.
Go check out the Silver Surfer Black Motion Comic on YouTube!!
(More Galactus and more Shalla-Bal?! Drop a like! Lmk if I should drop Ep. 5!)

He pushed his way out.

What is that? What a butterfly!

Oh, you want the other book don't you?

Yeah.

Okay.

Back in a second, babe.

H.E.R.B.I.E. have you seen that book that Franklin loves?

Not that one.

He did that one yesterday and I know he loves it, but the... anyway. It's here.

See we're going with something a little more fun today. Yeah?

True believers!!
Do me a solid and go check out my channel on YouTube. RegularRegs.
