The best part is that Reed returns to his time, to his Ben Grimm, and sits down with him to have a beer and watch sports.

Ah, finally. A clip involving Reed Richards that doesn’t have him doing some heinous shit.

"Goodbye Uncle Ben" Peter Parker: first time?

The real tear jerker is he couldn't remember the taste of a cheeseburger.

Imagine if he didn't take the serum he would be like half immortal because of a nearby infinite life he has 😢😢😢

He died remembered, he died loved...❤

The MCU should focus on the friendship of Thing and Mr Fantastic. They have each other’s back and love each other like brothers.

4000 weeks is pretty much 77 years. And he was likely in his 30’s when he got the powers. But it also took some time for them to develop the serum to allow him to be human for a week. So this checks out. His human age was probably between mid 80’s to early 90’s when he died.

Honestly, that's a really good ending for Ben. He lived a hard life as a Hero, risking his life quite often while isolated from the one's he protected do to his condition. And immortality isn't as wonderful as it sounds, ask Deadpool or Wolverine, he saw all of his friends, which could understand him, going one after the other. But having the opportunity to age, even if quite slow, and have a resemblance of a normal life, and even the opportunity to life a normal life once a Year, must be a unbelievable valuable feeling for him. And at the end, going peaceful in his sleep, is a privilege not many Great Heroes get...

So the conversations over the years between him Thor Hercules & the Hulk are of legend...

Every 52 years give or take he ages 1 year so every 1000 years he ages 19 plus years so 4k years it’s 80 years old plus his oringal age so near a 100 give or take

Guess Spiderman ain't the only one who lost an Uncle Ben.

Love that Ben never turns evil, but also how he complains “Man I just want a burger.”

Was he happy during all that time? I always remember him being sad about being the Thing so hearing he had to endure that for 4000 years is heartbreaking. I really hope hed made peace with it.

Rip Ben Grimm.

Ben is my dude .....love The Thing he was the original marvel powerhouse

I cannot believe there are no burgers in the future.

That's Franklin Richard, Reeds son not his dad.

"Think mark think what will you have after 500 years? "

Originally Marvel comics got popular with Fantastic Four before the Xmen came around.

No more clobbering time😥... Definitely earned your Rest❤️

That’s a lot of superhero’s he teamed up w

Thats why immortality is a nightmare 💯

ima just say it, Reed Richards NEEDS a redemption arc that firmly solidifies him as one of the greatest heroes of his time. he needs an arc where he has a true and blue come to God moment that causes him to forgoe his more....unsavory tendencies, one where he chooses family, friends, and heroics over his ever-present need to know more at any cost. the man has many flaws but the character deserves to be redeemed. it could be a wonderfully epic story, and Doom would play no small part. way I see it, Doom would damn near be the one to orchestrate it all as a boon to his favorite God-daughter (with Valeria, that term takes on a whole new meaning lol) in an effort to "give her her daddy back" type of thing. Doom would ultimately give Reed the speech of a lifetime that only Doom could, and Reed would finally be healed and redeemed. will it happen? probably not, but damn it would be amazing.

So never take that serum, never age. Got it.

Was not expecting to cry today.

No wonder his death was so sad, he’s literally the second uncle Ben

You'd think a supervillain would take advantage of his 1 week vulnerability and kill him for those thousands of years

Rock beard sounds badass

That was a great story. Hickman's run was fantastic.

Wow what a future

1 week in human form for 4000 years (assuming this was possible for all 4000 years) is 75 years total so it makes sense why he died after that bc amount of time

I remember watching this in whole…. It really teared me up😢❤

When I read this I legit cried. The thing is such a good character, and this story only proved that to me further.

Why is the rock beard relevant? If its not, WHY MENTION IT?!

I always felt bad for Thing.

The Ever Lovin Blue Eyed Nephew of Aunt Petunia from Yancy Street.

This comic was so done so well

I like how it also tells you the name of the city through the future versions of it (except 3012, it didnt show it) 2012 - New York City 3012 - New York City? 4012 - NYC Territory 5012 ‐ The York Prefecture 6012 - TNY Orb

Being immortal kind of sucks, especially when all your friends die before you

Rock beard goes hard

Imagine outliving the love of your life by almost 4,000 years. What a terrible end for a gentle hero.

You gotta add that when Reed returns he sits down with Ben to watch a ball game and share a few beers

Well Reed must have been able come up with the base off the restorative solution, but because of the unique physiology of the Thing. Reed must have finally confirmed that what he all ready knew the thing was practically immortal. Reed knew that there were ways to alter Ben’s DNA back to human, because it had been done so in the past temporarily by the likes of Dr. Doom, The Leader, Galactus, even Reed has from time to time. But nothing could hold. This trip only confirmed what Reed probably knew all along that there was no cure. Just momentary relief from his Thing body and the ability to die of old age. That was way Reed was obsessed with time travel all these years. He had to know and confirm the one thing that he promised his friend from the beginning. That he would cure him. With confirmation of Ben’s time line he knows for sure that he can never completely reverse his condition and keep his promise. That was what truly was breaking Reed’s heart. Even Franklin can’t cure Ben, even with all his immense power.

This is wicked, oh and happy New Year to all. Let’s hope next year is a great year.🥳

Some things people never 4 get. but I'm capable of forgiving.

This sounds like a great story

The last panel has Reed bring a beer to Ben adn watch TV with him and just chill and enjoy the time together. Great issue.

Reed and his son can time travel but can't turn Ben into human form? ok

This is breathtaking!

Thats a good bit of info thanks bro i love ure chanel

I couldn’t even finish this video without shedding a tear. Even doctor doom has a heart. Ask my mom

Reed made a Serum that lasted 4000 years. He created the word Genius

Hickman can write some tear jerkers.

peter 🤝 franklin losing uncle ben

That's truly a sad story ! I've often wondered what it would be like to be a human immortal, not just what we are now ! But what you'd see who you'd lose over all that time ! Not exactly fare !

If only the real future was like this

Now this should be a movie

A sentinel of strength for 4,000 years on earth. Most impressive and bad ass!

Why is it that hard to watch. I mean dude lived for 3000 years lol

Dang so Franklin had an uncle Ben death too, I guess it’s a cannon event

I think that Reed needed to take this trip to finally be able to believe that Ben didn’t blame him for what happened to him. That even after the accident that turned them into the Fantastic Four, Ben still saw him as a good friend.

I would love to see this in a future movie.

Goes to the future in the year 3012….4000 years from now….

Long time comic reader. Never knew this story. How beautifully sad

If it's base age was around 30 and he aged one week per year that would add another 76 years to his base age so he will be 90 to 106? Human years old. Depending on what his base age was actually.

Goes home and cracks a beer with Ben too🥹

The thing an hulk together at the end of time ....

I havent read this (im assuming) mini, but i like that Franklin's past outfit is a nod to him being Galactus on Earth X

Ben was Reed’s true pal.

Hold on a second He only naturally ages for seven days out of the year and he only lived to 4,000, That sounds off!😅

Let's go to the future they said... What could possibly happen they said... Going to your friend's funeral is not what I would call nothing!

The Thing can't die early because if he dies, as Franklin's uncle named Ben, Franklin's legally obligated to be Spider-Man. He'd be too unstoppable

Ain't no way New York was able to fix all of its crime that it lets happen😂

That was a great run.

The saddest part must be knowing he never cured him and seeing Ben basically give in to the only way out through an extremely slow aging process... imagine if he developed something like schizophrenia in his human 60s and had to go all that time with it :(

Hickman should be the only person who writes FF, Doom, Namor and T'Challa.

I feel sorry for, Ben

The Ultimate universe Was the Best 👌 storyline for the thing...

New York in the future is gonna be a sess pool 😂

Uncle Ben’s canon effect

Wow, Ben Grimm got a nice future. The Hulk got a barren, irradiated wasteland.

That means that he lived for nearly 77 years (as a human) after the accident, despite already being middle aged (at least 30 considering what he accomplished before the accident, but i was unable to find an actual age online). That means he died at minimum, as a 107 year old.

Im NOT CRYING!! ....you're...crying...🥺

That's friggin awesome

So if Ben didn't use that formula he would have lived practically forever. The formula let him get so old that he died from old age

Imagine choosing to be human knowing you would slowly die each time

And then joins ben on the couch for a football game instead of working on his science projects. (This is what happens when reed goes back to his time in the comic,if anyone was wondering.) Its a good story

If he only ages for 1 week his lifespan is 52 times longer, so he lived for abou 77 years after he resumed aging. Poor Ben, outliving everyone must be hell, but if thats hell living so long that you cant even remember anything close to how many loved ones youve forgotten must be something beyond hell

I just read this. Great writing by Jonathan Hickman.

Can we please talk about how awesome franklin is?

Accedently sitting in on your future as a reality show is probably pretty fangourous but id love to do it to undo certain mistakes if i make them

Very similar to how Bucky aged only when unfrozen for Hydra missions.

This pissed me off so much he was your closest friend but when you see he suffering in the future with no one by his side and you choose to sit and secretly watch

If you do the math, 4000 years at aging one week a year is about 76 years, not including his already existing pre-the thing age.

Wolverine and Hulk said Hold my beer

4,000 years is but teenage years for an ultra marine 😎

Imagine your beard became The Rock 😅

Yeah if i lived among the human population that long id go inasne out of boredom. Chaos is a great intertainer.
