If you play a counselor, do you score points by doing dumb things that make you more vulnerable if you manage to survive? Things like swimming naked, banging your fellow counselors, wandering off along to check out those scary noises in the woods, walking backwards through the basement door...
Maybe take the Fantastic Four and just stick them in your back pocket for a bit, Marvel. It's an inherently problematic property to develop. The issue is that the Fantastic Four are so intrinsically infused with Silver Age camp, and the more you try to be true to their spirit, the less they fit into the modern world of superhero movies, and the less they'll appeal to the general audience modern superhero movies target. A loyal interpretation of the Fantastic Four just can't exist in the MCU or a modern world without a ton of stylistic dissonance. Any conversion to that universe would require blowing the Fantastic Four up and rebuilding them from scratch without any of the campy elements that make the Fantastic Four what they are, something Fox already tried and failed to do three times over. The real get here for the MCU is not the Four themselves, but their villains. Now we can have Dr. Doom and Galactus done really well for MCU Phase 4-6, no Fantastic Four required.
My suggestion to Marvel/Disney: take a cue from what you've already achieved with the excellent "Big Hero Six". Make a CGI animated FF movie series set in a retro-futuristic world, targeted at a PG audience, unconnected from the MCU, and with absolutely no pretense of being realistic or modern or gritty in any way.
@ughz: Nah, it's just more Lord of the Flies dystopian moral nihilism: everybody in the world is really a selfish, horrible monster at heart, so when society starts to crack, you have to be an even bigger monster just to survive. A bunch of stupid, unlikeable characters gradually becoming even less likable. TWD is an uneven show, but Fear has just been consistently bad.
