After a long wait, the Marvel Cinematic Universe finally introduced the First Family in its saga of films with The Fantastic Four: Getting Startedreleased in theaters last July.
Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the film’s plot takes us to an alternative universe with a retro-futuristic style set in the 60s, where Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johhny Storm and Ben Grimm are already known worldwide as The Fantastic Four.
Soon our heroes will face their greatest challenge when Silver Surfer makes his appearance and announces the arrival of Galactus, a gigantic planet-devouring being who is heading to Earth to satisfy his voracious appetite..
The film was very popular with the public and, although it grossed less than its competitor supermanmanaged to place itself among the ten highest-grossing films of 2025.
However, not everyone is happy with the addition of the First Family to the MCU, as the creator of Dead Pool has been very critical of the film’s special effects, specifically those relating to its villain.
Rob Liefeld criticizes Galactus from Fantastic Four: First Steps and Ralph Ineson responds
Through social media, Rob Liefeld, creator of the comic book character Deadpool Wondershared a post on X where he showed a gif of a scene from The Fantastic Four: Getting Started with Galactus walking.
However, he harshly criticized the scene, saying it “looks so fake” and that “the Marvel effects have collapsed.”
This did not go unnoticed by Ralph Ineson, the actor who plays the villain Galactus in fiction, and cited Liefeld’s publication by responding with a simple “Rent free”.
No, I’m not saying you have “free rent,” but it is a colloquial expression that alludes to the idea that something or someone is insistently occupying an important place in a person’s mind.
I mean, that Ralph Ineson believes that Rob Liefeld is constantly thinking the same thing with his criticisms of Galactus and The Fantastic Four: Getting Startedsuggesting that Deadpool’s creator should occupy his mind with other ideas. What do you think of the criticism of the Marvel film?
