Tropey McTropeFace may be one of the weakest inventions ever created by Phineas (Vincent Martella) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), although it does take on a life of its own which becomes the running gag for the episode.

Parties disagree whether the film was ever meant to see the light of day, or simply as leverage to keep the rights in Eichinger’s hands, but either way the film was pulled and never release theatrically. And so the stories began about The Fantastic Four movie that never was. And yet, speaking before Fantastic Four: The First Steps hits theaters, one could make a case that it’s better, or at least certainly not worse, than any of the FF films that did get released over the next 30 years.
