6. The vibe of the F4 is hard to catch.

The Fantastic Four are from the 50/60s. Sci-fi from that era was based on peaceful colonization of space. The mindset was different. Space was the "New Frontier".

Nowadays space has been done to death. It's hard to make Sense-of-wonder sci-fi about space, though from time to time it works ("Interstellar", "Arrival" ...)
The Fantastic Four going to space no longer cuts it.

Isn't there a storyline where Namor kidnaps Susan Richards because he wants to marry her? I would watch that, and if only for an anti-hero who's an arrogant bastard who wears nothing but a speedo.
