ben grimm being an air force test pilot is such a fuckin perfect character construction. he wanted to be an astronaut
he got to .
#legit just went the whole process of#oh wouldn’t it be cool if he was a test pilot (has not reread the comics and was going off the movies)#-> him being an air force test pilot is doubly significant given that was the fast track to astronaut candidacy for a long time#-> he did technically get to be an astronaut huh#and then i went and googled and yeah. that’s just. the real character . bc they’re good at their jobs. fuckin love this character man#i’ve attended two conferences with test pilots and they’re fascinating man those folks are hella intelligent but such a unique culture#if i ever actually write that au i was talking about i need to come up with an ironic call sign for him#i do think modern ben would be more fun as a nasa test pilot. just bc of the slight tension btwn him and reed. and he so strongly fits the#military archetype that it would be interesting to have that juxtaposed with him not being military#it would take some character work but you could do smthn interesting with it
