I liked it, I’m glad they put it in a separate universe as not to have to hand wave their existence in the Prime Universe. I like the idea of glossing over the origin story. But they just seemed to come off as too perfect of heroes, like saving the world is something they casually do in their spare time.
I think making them too perfect was the idea.
The entire world knows that the Fantastic Four can solve anything, so when they return from Galactus and haven’t defeated him, it’s meant to be truly scary. It’s also why the citizens turn on them. Oh they can save us but they won’t? But conversely it’s also how they convince the entire world to work together. They can solve anything.
