Watch These Retro Movies After 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the Fantastic Four in a world that was full of hope and excitement about the future. Humans had just taken to space. Technological advances promised an easier tomorrow. Attitudes about race and gender were changing for the better, and all of this social progress was reflected in music, movies, fashion, and especially in the mid-century modern design that came to define the era. In today's world, space travel is becoming the leisure activity of the billionaire class. The role of technology in our daily lives poses a problem at best and an existential crisis at worst. Attitudes about race and gender seem to be regressing. And there is no dominant culture anymore to reflect our 21st-century anxieties.
