The New Fantastic Four (1978) - Was The Human Torch Too Dangerous For TV? Part Two

It’s 1978 and in The New Fantastic Four cartoon Johnny Storm has been replaced by an RDD2 knockoff - was the Human Torch too dangerous for TV? Were children really at risk of setting themselves on fire? We’ll take you behind-the-scenes on the DISASTROUS making of this infamous Seventies cartoon and everything that went wrong, including TWO legal battles over the right to Marvel’s characters! We’ll also take you behind-the-page on the Fantastic Four in the Seventies to look at the seismic split between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, the split between Sue Storm and Reed Richards, and how the FF came to reflect the rise of feminism and divorce rates in America! Then we’ll deep-dive 3 episodes of the series to bring you all our reactions and thoughts, all the history and trivia, and all the Marvel Connections hiding in the IMDB pages of the cast! Plus we'll spend time with the Impossible Man, the strange death of Galactus, the darkest Human Torch story ever told, the last comic book Stan Lee and Jack Kirby ever did "together", and the worst Magneto ever committed to page or screen!

Episodes In The Deep Dive Include; Ep. 2 - The Menace of Magneto Ep. 9 - The Frightful Four Ep. 11 - The Impossible Man
