* LustMakesYouDumb: : It's mentioned in Johnny Storm's introductory scene that he was thrown out of NASA for sneaking "two Victoria's Secret wannabes" into a flight simulator. It is for this reason that Ben Grimm, who was Johnny's commanding officer, doesn't want him on the mission to space.

* TheExsNewJerkass: Reed runs into his ex-girlfriend Sue when he asks his old friend Victor, who Sue works for and is currently dating, for a favor. This causes some tension and old feelings to resurface since Victor is a flagrant RichBastard who despises Reed and disrespects Sue and his Reed's friends. After gaining their powers, Reed and Sue would reconcile after defeating a now fully villainous Doom and become engaged at the end of the film.

* WithDueRespect: When Victor blames Reed for the space station disaster, Reed says this as they're ''both'' responsible as he warned Victor they should have aborted when he suggested.

* ARottenTimeToRevert:
** During the bridge sequence, Susan attempts to use her recently gained {{Invisibility}} powers to sneak by the crowd. But since her powers don't affect her clothing, she has [[InvisibleStreaker to take them off]] and she naturally loses control of her powers just as she's down to her underwear, [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside right in front of everyone]]. Her ensuing NakedFreakOut manages to flare up her emotions, and she turns invisible again, causing Reed to notice that their powers are [[EmotionalPowers tied to their emotions]].
** Late in the film, Victor Von Doom reverses Ben Grimm's transformation, not out of the goodness of his heart but because he needs Grimm out of the way so that he can kill off the rest of the Fantastic Four. Grimm figures this out just after he's been returned to his human state, leaving him unable to help as Doom captures Reed Richards.

* DramaticIrony: Shortly after the cosmic cloud, a POV shot makes it look like Ben seemingly woke up as the Thing. While it turns out Johnny is just making fun of Ben's human face, it does have a certain irony that this ''won't'' be the last time Johnny mocks Ben's appearances.

* AlwaysNeedWhatYouGaveUp: Ben Grimm's transformation into the Thing is reversed just in time for von Doom to reveal his villainy. Justified, as Doom is ''deliberately'' hiding his true intentions until he can get Ben, the physically strongest of the group, and the only one who can truly go toe-to-toe with him, out of the way.
