Welcome back to Screen Crush. I'm Ryan Ary and today, we're diving into your questions and uncovering those pesky plot holes in 'Fantastic 4: The First Steps'. Thanks for all the inquiries you've sent our way on Discord and our community page.
One question posed by Brad on YouTube was about Norin Rad's existence in this universe. In various Marvel adaptations, Norin Rad is the Silver Surfer, a scientist from the planet Zenlaw who becomes a herald for Galactus. While the movie doesn't explicitly detail Norin Rad's presence, it can be inferred he likely exists, as elements similar to the comics and other adaptations are present.
Another curiosity surrounded the time dilation scene involving the Silver Surfer near a black hole. In 'Interstellar', a similar concept is explored, with time moving differently near intense gravitational fields. Here, the Silver Surfer escapes the black hole using advanced technology to return, explaining why the Fantastic 4 returns after months despite their short absence.
Questions about Galactus' capabilities and his slow approach to Earth were popular. Some theorize his massive size prohibits him from using FTL (Faster Than Light) near the sun's gravity. Furthermore, speculations about why Galactus didn't use telekinesis to retrieve the child stem from differing powers in the comics and film.
