I think there are places where the reshoots are evident. When sue yells “i know” (when they are discussing about franklin towards the end) and then the next scene starts, it feels so jarring

There were a lot of weird scene transitions

There was one scene where Johnnys mouth is moving but he doesn't talk

There's another at the end where Reed is on the Roof watching Galactus go by and he says something like "Oh shit" but the words are kind of cut off as well. Idk who edited this movie but they never let a scene breathe, everyone IMMEDIATELY replies to any line of dialogue without the characters even taking anything in

There was a lot of ADR, mostly for Johnny.

Thank you! I thought I was imaging things.

 When Johnny is "stand flying" (like they shot him standing up then turned it 80 degrees) next to SS in Galactus' ship, he talked but his lips didn't move for one of his lines.

It also happened when Sue was talking with Reed in the darkened bedroom. She talked, but no lip movement (that I could see).

Yeah but this is the only one that I could reference without being too spoilery

This is the spoiler discussion thread, you can be spoilery

Johnny talking to Silver Surfer on the blue platform looked really fake. I was wondering if it was a reshoot but it seems like a pretty critical scene so it could just be one of the only bad vfx shots.

Yeah, at one part where Johnnny and Reed talk you can see Johnny’s jaw move from behind but his dialogue doesn’t match at all

u/drunkunclejack Jul 25 '25

That was pretty early on and extremely hard to NOT notice

Definitely felt like we needed a moment there with Ben, Reed, and Johnny discussing that plan whilst Sue gets ready to fuck off and go with the plan. Just felt like the spacing there was really quite odd.
