The Fantastic Four is a quad of superheroes that bedevil me anytime I'm playing *New York* mag's Cinematrix (or its original version, Movie Grid, which I usually play in addition to but which I am now playing *instead* because [I THINK there is still a digital picket line](https://nymagunion.org/reader-pledge?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)?), because there have been several versions and I can never remember which version of the title matches what -- much like how there is *Suicide Squad* and *The Suicide Squad* and there are a couple people in both but not ALL people?

So if it helps: Inputting simply *Fantastic Four* should cover BOTH the 2005 film starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans -- but in a pinch, use the sequel by typing in the words Silver Surfer -- and the 2015 version with Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell, though it is sometimes styled as *FANT4STIC*. Guessing *The Fantastic Four* covers the 1993 Roger Corman version, although I cannot imagine any of those actors turning up on Cinematrix, and should bring up this new one, whose full title is *The Fantastic Four: First Steps*. So many versions, so few of them actually well-regarded! We'll see if this one can turn things around. Pedro Pascal is a good start, but I have such superhero fatigue that even he might not be enough.
