A ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ promo has gone horribly wrong and MAGA is losing their minds

The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters on Jul. 25, with both Marvel Studios and its fans desperate for it to be a hit. The venerable MCU has been through some tough times of late, with even the critically well-received Thunderbolts flopping at the box office.

As such, they’re throwing everything into making sure First Steps reinvigorates the brand with a marketing campaign plastering the four heroes over all manner of merchandise, billboards in every major city across the world, trailer saturation before all cinematic releases, and, in a surprise twist, even commandeering the sky.

Yup, mirroring Johnny Storm’s frequent move of drawing the “F4” logo in the clouds, Marvel has hired skywriters to do the same in real life. Unfortunately for them, MAGA conspiracy theorists are convinced that something more evil and diabolical is at work. Rather than an “F4”, they’re seeing it as a “Q”, meaning this is obviously something to do with a sinister pedophile ring!

🚨 BREAKING: WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY SPRAYING IN THE SKY TODAY?

Jets are flying coast to coast spraying giant Q’s across the sky.
L.A. saw it. New York saw it.

This isn’t random.
This is a direct message 40,000 feet above your head.

Why Q? Why now?
And why the total silence… pic.twitter.com/kjAAn9cEQn

Or, perhaps this is a sinister pentagram being drawn in the sky to summon Satan and poison people!?

Amusingly, even when it’s pointed out that these aren’t Qs and this is a Marvel movie promotion, they refuse to back down. After all, that’s what “they” would want you to think!

Whatever the explanation, the QAnon crowd is furious, saying “This not normal. It needs to stop” and pointing out “people think they’re getting organic food when all these particles are falling from the sky in our water into our soil on all of our plants, killing our insects and animals” and that whoever did this has “a Sick sense of humor while he’s poisoning us. Karma.”

Perhaps we should thank our lucky stars that they’re not promoting Ironheart – which debuts Sacha Baron-Cohen as the extremely diabolical Mephisto – the same way, or we’d see heart attacks up and down the country! Here’s hoping the rest of the promotional campaign goes a little more smoothly.
