Why is Dan Castellanetta still Reed and Ben's teacher in high school? Did he follow them or something?

Why is Dan Castlanetta still Reed and Ben's teacher in high school? Did he follow them or something?

* Reed first comes to Franklin Storm's attention when he and Ben build an anti-gravity engine, and Franklin gets him enrolled in the Baxter Foundation. Fine, all well and good, but what about Ben? Yes, the machine was Reed's idea, but he helped build it too, and he deserves at least some of the credit - but Reed and Franklin basically just leave him in the dust. What the hell?

** They had enough controversy on their hands as it was. Why give people more reason to be pissed at your movie when you can avoid it with simple hair dye? More broadly that's because Sue is one of the comics' most iconic blondes. As for Jordan being cast as Johnny - [[SarcasmMode yeah, that really went well]].

* After not having a toy car to teleport, Reed decides the next best thing is to take the model plane from the project next to him to send. The kid gets it back, but it's melted and covered in sand now. Why didn't he just he just send, say, a quarter or a pen - anything that doesn't involve ruining the centerpiece of a child's science fair exhibit? He's probably getting graded on this. That kid was right, Reed - you are a dick.

** He doesn't - he's just faking it so that he can get back to Earth, and kill all the base personnel. Why he needs to do that, rather then just building his giant death beam, isn't explained. The limp vanishes in later scenes.

The first two times we see Reed's setup in action, he warns anyone nearby to cover their ears, but says nothing about protecting their eyes. Yet when the same mechanism is employed for the chimpanzee test at the Baxter Building, they all put on dark glasses and ''no'' ear protection whatsoever. What, is there a One Sense Limit on which type of sensory organ is placed at risk of overload by inter-dimensional transits?

** It's not that he's too ''strong'' for clothing, it's that this version's rocky protrusions are too ''sharp''. Put anything short of a suit of armor on him, and it'll be shredded the first time he moves a few steps.

* So, the PersonOfMassDestruction who's trashed the place with a gesture or two and killed everyone who got in his way just by looking at them says all he wants is to go back to a LIFELESS PLANET IN ANOTHER DIMENSION. And Franklin Storm keeps trying to stop him, to talk him out of it, to do ''anything'' but say "Sure! Bye!" and let the problem ''walk away on its own?'' I've heard of TooDumbToLive, but talk about literal. (Of course, it does turn out Victor can ex machina up a doomsday device, but ''at the time,'' there's no reason to think he can make good on the "if your world must die so that mine can live, so be it" thing, assuming Franklin even knew he'd said that.)[[/folder]]

* Josh Trank casted Michael B. Jordan as Human Torch before all others. So why not just have gone ahead and casted a black actress for Invisible Girl? Is it because Hollywood still isn't too accepting of interracial love (certain reactions to the movie Focus for example, released in the same year) or because it would be stretching it to much for an audience to accept such a change in one character let alone two? Or is it a mix of both

Doom says that being immersed in Planet Zero's energies allowed it to sustain him without food, air or water. He also explicitly says that the planet gave him incredible power. So how come after a year of living on Planet Zero, Doom had a limp?
