The writer Fantastic Four explaining why the human torch did not say “flame on” and the absence of the ultimate nullify

In The Fantastic Four: First stepsMarvel’s first family beats Galactus when Sue Storm gives his life to force the villain in a teleporter who will let him blocked on the other side of the universe.

However, when the team encountered the devotor of the worlds in the comics, the observer instructed the human torch to go to the house of Galactus and to steal the ultimate nullify. The device is not only capable of killing Galactus, but is powerful enough to destroy whole realities.

Mr. Fantastic threatens the villain with the ultimate nullifier, forcing him to leave the earth and promises not to come back. The weapon is then given to the observer for the custody (this happened in the pages of Fantastic Four # 51).

Neither the ultimate nor uatu appear in The Fantastic Four: First stepsAnd according to the writer Eric Pearson, the all-powerful apparatus was not a Marvel studios who seriously planned to use in the film.

“Not that I know,” He said to Comicbook.com. “I think it came in the conversation, at some point, but I don’t think it has ever been written.”

His absence led to a much more powerful emotionally more powerful act, which also saw the thing in the end and say: “It’s Clobberin’s time.” However, many fans expressed their disappointment that there was not a single moment in the film where the human torch says: “Flame sur!”

“You did [get it]. From the little toy, you did. You have it. We checked the box, ” Parson explained. “I always appreciated the joke and it could have passed me. There was the idea when they were particularly screwed up and had not planned, well released a bottle of whiskey and started to pour gunshots and said:” It’s Clobberin’s time! “”

He added, “I always thought it was really funny. The gain was just too good in this case. We had to find the exact moment to say it.”

While there are rumbles that filmmaker Matt Shakman is aligned to direct a series of The Fantastic Four: First stepsPearson confirmed that he remained in the dark with regard to the future of the franchise.

“Honestly, I don’t know. I am such a literal person that I would need to understand the fallout of the appearance of everything and who knows who of the Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars”, “ he explained. “I don’t know where we are all sitting. Sometimes, when everything is on the table, you don’t know what to eat.”

“Could it be cool to see them together in a mystery of murder? Pearson concluded.
