On the Blerd Wire, I try give you the latest news, facts, reviews and even fan theories about some of our favorite movies and tv shows, like Star Wars, Marvel and DC. I consider myself to be a certified cinephile and love being immersed in the world of film. So if you love cinema the way I do, come hang out while we talk about some of the things I love!
Fixing The Multiverse Saga - Fantastic Four: First Steps
Here's how we fix Fantastic Four: First Steps! The biggest difference is that, it now comes out 3 years earlier, in 2022 instead of 2025. And then of course a completely different plot since it would take place in our main MCU Universe.
Fantastic Four: First Steps
Ben Grimm tells a group of kids how six months ago, Secretary of Energy Reed Richards took Ben, Sue & Johnny Storm into space, where solar rays gave them powers, becoming the Fantastic Four. The US wants readings on Russian energy experiments, but Sue realizes they need to work from Latveria, due to its proximity to Russia, for the best readings. She approaches its monarch, Victor Von Doom, Reed's old rival, who agrees after explaining why life was better during the Blip. Pressured to get better readings, Reed lowers the shields to increase the range despite warnings from his associate Owen Reese. Reed misses a crucial calculation and the reactor blows, giving Owen a horrid scar and the ability to manipulate molecules. Ben watches Owen become more unstable as he blames Reed his scar. When Owen tries to kill Reed, Doom helps Reed develop an equation to subdue him. The Fantastic Four confront Molecule Man, and Ben confesses his resentment toward Reed to reach Owen, allowing the team to subdue him with the formula. Reed apologizes to Ben, who forgives him as they return home. Sue establishes the Future Foundation for diplomacy and education.
End credits: Doom visits Owen in his Latverian cell and explains that his powers may have breached another dimension.
Post-credits: One of the Russian scientists is fired and vows revenge on Reed in a lab filled with red ape experiments, declaring himself the Red Ghost.

Fixing The Multiverse Saga - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Next up is Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!
Again, not many changes here as Ryan Coogler did an incredible job with Namor and the origins of Talokan. The main change here is that Namor's secret is exposed and this synopsis will explain how.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Shuri tries to recreate the heart-shaped herb to save T'Challa from an illness, but he dies, while Queen Ramonda faces geopolitical scrutiny after Zemo's abduction. The CIA discovers Vibranium in the ocean with a detector built by MIT student Riri Williams, but Namor wipes them out and goes to Wakanda, demanding they bring him the scientist. With Everett Ross' help, they find Riri, but Shuri & Riri are taken to Talokan by Namor's forces. He reveals his ancestors moved undersea after eating plants from Vibranium-rich soil, and his pregnant mother ate one, making Namor an immortal mutant with winged feet. Shuri tries to negotiate Riri's life when Ramonda calls Namor to meet, threatening to expose Talokan if Shuri isn't released. But Ramonda is unaware that Valentina bugged Shuri's Kimoyo beads that Ross recovered from the abduction. While Nakia rescues Shuri & Riri, CIA agents arrive at the meet to arrest Namor. He kills them and floods Wakanda for the perceived betrayal, drowning Ramonda. Shuri recreates the herb with Talokan soil and enters the ancestral plane, but sees Killmonger, who urges her to seek revenge. She and Riri lure Namor into a deadly trap to kill him, but Shuri chooses mercy and vows to protect Talokan's Vibranium. M'Baku becomes King.
End credits: Nakia introduces Shuri to her and T'Challa's son, also named T'Challa.
Post-credits: Now exposed to the world, Namor meets with several South American leaders, promising that an alliance with Talokan will benefit them all.

Fixing The Multiverse Saga - Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania
Next up is Ant-Man & Wasp: Quantumania. The main change in this film is moving it up from 2023 to release in 2022, just a few months earlier. Here's the full synopsis and you'll notice the main change towards the end.
Ant-Man & Wasp: Quantamania
Scott Lang enjoys semi-stardom when Cassie, now with her own 'Stature' suit, sends a signal to the Quantum Realm that sucks in Hank, Janet & Hope Pym. They're split up and Hank, Janet & Wasp are captured by Psycho-Man, the former Quantum Realm ruler who leads a underground rebellion against Kang, who conquered them. Scott & Cassie are abducted by their former foe Darren Cross, now MODOK who is confined to his suit. They are brought to Kang and learn he escaped to the Quantum Realm after losing the multiversal war to He Who Remains. He reveals he helped Scott escape his first Quantum Realm visit after discovering the timeline where HWR would die. When Janet put the antenna in Scott's mind, Kang amplified the resizer chip in Scott's belt to allow his escape. Now Kang needs Pym Particles to fix his multiverse warp core, which Janet shrunk after learning of his tyranny. Kang threatens to kill Cassie unless Scott repairs the core, so he does. Psycho-Man & the Freedom Fighters launch an attack to distract Kang while Wasp saves Scott. Cassie defeats MODOK but Kang obliterates the Freedom Fighters, kills Psycho-Man and defeat Ant-Man & Wasp before escaping, leaving them stranded in the Quantum Realm. Since Cassie's suit is the only one not damaged by Kang, Scott is able to send her through the portal right before it closes.
End credits: Kang reveals he left the Ten Rings before he escaped to the Quantum Realm to send him a beacon that would alert him to HWR's death, but as his ships leave, they don't realize Cassie Lang has snuck aboard.
