It was a sin. That Marvel hadn't been able to make a cinematic version of the Fantastic Four with a face and eyes was unforgivable. Neither version (crappy, like the one produced by Roger Corman in 1994, or bland, broken, and ugly like those directed by Tim Story and Josh Trank in the 21st century) did justice to the greatness of this family of superheroes who were the core of Marvel, the pure essence of the charming power of gripping comics. In the end, the closest thing the Fantastic Four had on film was... The Incredibles, which wasn't from Marvel and wasn't them, but was a superpowered family with almost the same charisma as the unit formed by Reed Richards, Ben Grimm and siblings Sue and Johnny Storm.
