Ghoulish Grin Films

 I grew up loving the original Leslie Nielsen "Naked Gun" trilogy. They still are the pinnacle of stupid humor.

So bringing in The Fantastic Four into the MCU after four films ranging from cheesy to bad, and bringing them into this version of the MCU that seems to be struggling to fin...
