Review Of Fantastic 4 First Step

 

For Thousands of Years, or before 1945, or after 1945, and furthermore to maintain any Hegemony, how many lives were/are sacrificed? In the name of proselytism. In the name of region or religion. In the name of economic dominance. In the name of currency. In the name of borders! Now, compare this dilemma with what Galactus wanted -> A single child (and Not even his sacrifice), in return of peace of the entire planet! Now, you decide, who is more Ethical or Trustworthy? Galactus, OR, Humans! Is Galactus > Humans, OR, Humans > Galactus!

The marauders, merchants, proselytisers, zealots, family oriented, religious, regionalists, traders, atheists, agnostics; all we got from them is -> whose human bloodlines can Survive the next generation! Correct? And how many sacrifices have been made in the name of all this, directly or indirectly -> thousands, millions, hundreds of millions, by the humans only! Correct?

Similarly, Galactus also wanted a Single inheritor to survive, but without harming anyone, and ne’er by killing or destroying anyone else! YET, somehow, it was portrayed that Humans had an upper hand or edge  in the name of -> Ethical Dilemmas! Am I missing something?

Look, I dissect the ethical dilemmas, and not alike that Trolley Problem! Because, what Sue Storm did was, literally pulled the lever on the track, whilst sacrificing five, to save, one! Yes, that happened!

Further, she said that the child won’t be sacrificed for This World; but, also the World won’t be sacrificed for This Child! Now, this is -> Paradox -> An infinite equation -> a chicken and an egg problem; which can ne’er be solved! Moreover, the Species, whose anatomy they didn’t even know, and it would’ve taken almost a decade to understand that, YET, they were so confident to defeat Galactus (FUNNY)!? Furthermore, Galactus was an Interdimensional, beyond this Universe Species, YET, then why it travelled So Slow whilst entering this Solar System? Logic Please!

The general rule is that at the time of evacuation, not everyone evacuates; and some choose to live at their own place only; thus, by making the Galactus Walk and Fall over all those buildings; how many more people indirectly were killed! No idea!

But again, Sue Storm wins, as after all, the Production House wanted her to do the unimaginable things for -> L O V E!

All said and done -> Sorry, but -> scientifically, ethically, and morally -> I didn’t like the Flick! Apologies, once again! 😊

Who Should Be The Next BOND GIRL, OR, WOMAN?

 

No offense, but atleast for the Bond Girl, and as the names been suggested in the media -> Not the likes of -> Sydney Sweeney, NOR, Gal Gadot, NOR, Priyanka etc.; because, if they can, then why not also -> Daisy Edgar Jones, OR, Isabela Merced, OR, many more?

In one of my earlier blog, I opined that, who should become the next James Bond, wherein I wrote that it should be in sync with the cast of GOLDENEYE. If one can find GOLDENEYE’S Pierce Brosnan, and further now, if one can find GOLDENEYE’S Izabella Scorupco, then one has found the Bond Girl or Woman.

Look: The Alien franchise worked because the main Protagonist was in Sync with the .mind blowing character. And it was because of Sigourney Weaver, that the Alien franchise since 1979 worked. If someone had tried to replace her with someone else, the Alien franchise wouldn’t have become, amongst the greatest hits.

Similarly, if one wants to remake Seinfeld, then, one must find a person who can replace  Michael Richards and Wayne Knight. It is because of these two men, Seinfeld reached to a point of no return from the Top.

Similarly, John Wick became hit because of Keanu Reeves. Matrix became irreplaceable because of him and Laurence Fishburne. So goes for the Terminator or Rambo and many more.

Once a bar is set, then, one must find either the same or similar match, or maybe, better than them, else, the entire franchise would drown like the deck of cards.

Thus, when it comes to Bond Girl OR Woman, please don’t cast the faces which look, more like Actresses. What you need is an Artist. Those killer looks! Unmatched Style! Which cannot be taught at any of the Theatres or Academic Institute; nor can be Trained by PR Firms!

GOLDENEYE was the benchmark. Can that be broken or crossed, that should be the question.😊
