The marketing was atrocious. Filled with everything and every reason to avoid the movie. But the decision to gender swap Silver Surfer shows that it was just a symptom of the same sickness. Yet by all accounts (ignoring the early shills of course), this is the best MCU movie there has been for some time. "It doesn't suck" is the general consensus from non shill reviewers. F4 has a coherent story, decent cgi, Galactus looks menacing and Mr Fantastic is the leader (of sorts).

It's a little sad that a movie not "sucking" is the low bar we've set for the MCU. But this "might" be the first 3D MCU disc that I'd even considere buying since Guardians 3.

I don't know if they deliberately marketed the movie to "own the chuds", "get the YouTubers" or maybe they just don't care anymore. Very strange times.
