summation

Fantastic Four's Female Silver Surfer: The first step is to expand Multiverse Lore with a unique possibility.
The speculated gender swap for Silver Surfer of the MCU can lead to deeper character development.
Silver Surfer is a familiar creative choice in the cartoon genre that is gender management.

The 2025 title is tickling fans Fantastic Four: First Step. together supermanIt is one of the most anticipated offering this year. Both the faithful people of the MCU and the general audience have all the reasons to be excited. After two previous repetitions, the first family of Marvel under the MCU banner and the kiss of aesthetic chef through a unique retro fuel atmosphere. Marvel Studios recently dropped the first battlefield trailer. Fantastic Four: First Step,,, And it showed more what everyone wanted. First family Fantastic Four-Kang. Reed Richards stretch, the object takes a car and pulls the stomach, Johnny feels unpleasant, the SUE uses her power, and the galactus's feet are thumping in the high -rise building.

Still, I did not avoid all criticism. What is the cartoon trailer without a small flavor of the group? As Fantastic and The Thing's Design, Pedro Pascal's casting is still hot. But this new trailer was characterized by something that lit up in the comic book community. The character of the movie is a woman (played by Julia Garner). It's far from the male version of the fan. Many fans claim that Marvel's gender is “awakened” by Silver Surfer, while fans familiar with cartoons will not fit the framework. In addition, the female silver surfer offers a benefit that the male opponent may not.

Fantastic Four: First Step'Silver surfer was not a gender exchange

The legacy of the Silver Surfer is more than Norrin Radd.

Almost everyone with an idea for Fantastic Four knows about Galactus's Herald Silver Surfer (Actual Norrin Radd). His live action debut in 2007 Fantastic Four: Silver Surper's rise He introduced him to the mainstream audience. What can slip under the radar is that the silver surfer is not one person, but a cosmic position. In Marvel Lore, some characters have taken a mantle, some of which are not men. Hercules's granddaughter Juno became the incarnation of the Silver Surfer of Earth-829, preventing Galactus from destroying other planets. The lover of Norrin Radd is another.

Shalla-Bal, Silver Surfer Fantastic Four: First StepAfter being deformed by the Franklin Richards of Alternate Universe Earth X, I joined Norrin as HERALD in Galactus. Scouts of Earth-8417's Maybelle Parker, Earth-8908's Candy Goodstroke, Nancy Whitehead and Earth-616 are different women's variations. It's a bold movement, but inputting the female version of the symbol is not a betrayal or an attempt to satisfy the “Woke MOB”, but a natural expansion of vast multiVerse.

Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer may be what this alternative universe requires.

“Multivers-Kang” may seem to provide MCU a big creative advantage.Avengers: End Game. The artist allows you to explore every corner of many alternative timelines without seriously changing the main timelines of fan memory. FANTASTIC FOUR: First Step, His first family of Marvel was built in the universe. In other ways, Shalla-Bal's appearance is expanding without breaking Canon.

Among those who know the existence of the other surfers, the purpose of this “gender sway” is to provide appropriate development of Norrin Radd in the future MCU film, and that it does not waste such gravity in an alternative timeline that is not seen again. But if you want to survive this movie, you can't rule out the subsequent function.

Shalla-Bal also shares a twisted relationship with Phase Six in of DOCTOR DOOM, MCU's next Big Baddie and Piège de Résistance. Avengers: End. This relationship is likely to be captured if Kevin Feige remains. This is also the first live action of the female silver surfer. Wouldn't it be strictly confusing MCU fans using this unexpected twist?

Gender swaping is not new to the cartoon genre and is not always fatal.

Suppose Silver Surfer is truly mapped by gender. It may seem to be ignored by long fans, but it may not be as fatal as you think. Superheroes do not prevent change in cartoons, animations or live actions. A-listers, such as Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Hulk, generally have a lot of pop culture baggage tied to their personality, but B and C-list heroes are not immune to creative changes.

For example, take a ghost Ant-Man and WASP (Among the 7 identified members Thunderbolt*). In cartoons, Ghost is a genius male inventor and hacker who is an invisible hacker because of his lawsuit. In the MCU of Kevin Feige, the character was reconstructed as AVA Star, a ghost female version of a different background. As a result, her cartoon ability was maintained, but sacrificed the intelligence of litigation and trademark genius. It is a change that has been transformed into a sympathetic anti -hero in a villain where the character cannot forget.

Some can argue, but Silver Surfer belongs to this category because it is not spider-man or superman. But I'm not sure how painful this will make this fantastic four stories. But at least now all indicators that Fantastic Four: First Step It is a commercial and critical film. If you have to be angry about Julia Garner's Silver Surfer, it's a terrible CGI, making the previous repetition (18 years ago) revolutionary.
