basically I think ben could be given enough science stuff to participate more in that arm of their adventures

while still preserving the things that actually make him distinctive,
i.e. gritty blue-collar background, struggles between extreme masculine stoicism and the loss of his humanity

President Trump observes the raging fireball where an F-35, all systems failing, has slammed heroically into an ISIL arms depot full of rusty cans of 7.62×39mm cartridges

Yeah, I think Ben can be interesting in that you can take a look at the whole downsides of being superhuman aspect of the universe and tbh he's a good tool storywise to have as a person that Reed can explain the sciencey parts of the story to for the audience. But you can do that and not have him be a complete moron if you put a little bit of effort into it.

which would be cool... but you'd have to make the the sub-plot of a squeal to an actually successful ff origin story which would mean making ben take a back seat in that which will piss off comic nerds (no offense LTW) because he's one of the most iconic hero's ever

either that or you just make a movie that totally skips over their origin and goes strait to "being a super hero sucks" as the main sub-plot

Thinking about it, sharkie may be onto something with ff and their powers and translating that to film.

Unlike pretty much every other mcu character so far, their powers aren't directly related to punching people (barring Ben, of course) and you have to kind of write a story around their powers and I'm guessing your average screenwriter just isn't gonna be well versed enough with them to see what the comics have done and be able to make it work on screen.

My favorite thing is when the torch dies and Ben refuses to grieve until he gets called out to the desert by Thor and Hulk and then he just unloads on them and starts swinging

Because he doesn't know any other way to grieve and he'd demolish anything and anyone else

That's really cool, I hadn't heard about that.
