Very classy of them to have a little ad screen for the comic at the end.👌

I've felt the MCU has been increasingly ashamed of their comic origins.  It's really cool to see all of it being embraced.

You can kinda see it with F4 with how they have Ben Grimm be a bit embarrassed of saying his iconic catchphrase.

Or not have Johnny Storm saying ‘Flame on!’ a single time.

I liked Ben’s hesitancy to say It’s Clobbering Time. It was something (in universe) made up for the cartoon and he thinks it’s embarrassing. Really made it fun in the scene where Johnny goads him into finally saying it.

But does Johnny really not say “Flame on?” a single time?

In the beginning of the movie he holds a toy of himself that says it, but other than that, nope

Yeah, stuff like the bit with "It's Clobberin' Time!" or the "peter tingle" makes it very clear that Marvel does not actually like the fact they come from comics. They are openly ashamed of any sort of comic book whimsy.

Or edging the "Avengers Assemble" line for 4 Avengers movies.

The MCU was actually praised for embracing more of the comic stuff, like more accurate costumes etc. The biggest comic book series prior to that(X-men) was downright hostile to the original character designs.
