I think most can agree that the fantastic four haven't had the best treatment when it comes to film, at least in live action. From the so bad it's good 1994 Roger Corman/Oley Sassone attempt, two comedy sitcom films with Jessica Alba and cloud Galactus, and more recently the bore fest that was Josh Tranks hat in the ring.
There really isn't much of an actual film that can be seen, at least after a certain point where FOX clearly took over and frankensteined the editing with re shoots. So, I believe with some re ordering, more trims that one can count and a faster pacing a decent TV pilot can be created. I'll have a proposed cut list and a clip shortly, but I wanna hear what anyone has to say/offer in terms of suggestions!

- Color correction throughout for a brighter and more pleasing look.
- The entire opening with young Reed Richards and Ben Grimm needs to go, instead replace it with the first trip to Planet Zero that actually has relevance, something to kick start the whole thing and grab your attention.
- Add in some TV style cast and crew credits over the first minute of the new opening.
- Grab the F4 logo from the finale to then use it after the opening 5 minutes.
- Cut to 4 months earlier, to the science fair with Reed and Ben showing off there teleporter prototype.
- Replace the static, lifeless shot of New York from a distance, to a more dynamic fly over with a neat little easter egg.
- Once Reed is settled in the Baxter Building, cut out his first encounter with Sue and instead go to the board room meeting with Franklin Storm.
- Create a better joke by retiming the "Is he giving the speech?" line and almost interrupting Franklin.
- The entire car conversation between Johnny and Franklin needs to go, after the street race he was in.
More will definitely be on the way, but for now I think this should give a good idea of where I wanna go
