On today’s Disney+ deep-watch of Fantastic Four: First Steps, Eric slows the noise down and uncovers the real spine of the film — the cosmic triangle formed by Galactus, Franklin Richards, and Doctor Doom.
We explore why this Galactus feels more like a survivor than a villain, what his strange, life-support feeding cycle reveals about the universe before the Big Bang, and why Franklin Richards isn’t a target… but a successor.

Short, sharp, and theory-rich — this episode maps the hidden architecture beneath First Steps and the storm it’s building toward.
