Marvel announces one of the Fantastic 4 will die. - Page 2

I wonder if Reed will rip space-time to meet God and reverse the death again.

Nah in this story we're gonna pretend that story didn't happen so we can pretend this death is meaningful.

I'd say I was posting this because of the fantastic four's many and varied departures from mortality but really I'm just posting it to say how much I always loved Sue's Shitty Nineties Comics costume.

With a boob-window 4 and everything!

Reed seriously needs to die to keep the world safe from him.

Seriously, like 90% of every What If? story that ends in the world being destroyed is because Reed's super fucking Ego gets bruised and he throws a bitch fit and fucks everything up.

Or he attempts to commit genocide on some other race of people or some stupid bullshit like that.

My Impression of Writer's Attitudes Towards Death in the Superhero Genre

I liked how Gurren Lagann put it, I am bad at quotes but it was along the lines of
"yes we could bring them back, but then their sacrifice, the pain and agony we went through, all of that, would become meaningless"

Hasn't this happened enough times to basically turn into the punch line to a joke?

Marvel's just doing it for kicks now.

Will Luke Cage or She-Hulk replace the member?

Will the New Fantastic Four save the day?

Could the children of Sue and Reed take the reigns of the team and lead it to a glorious future?

Tune in next month, same fantastic thread, same fantastic, same fantastic comic.
