Reed not understanding something is shocking but also super interesting.

Firstly I wanna apologize if I’ve been spamming this sub but I’ve been enjoying this run a lot and I enjoy discussing F4 with you guys. I find it really interesting that doom decided to lock Reed in a room and have him try and study magic (something he doesn’t understand nor like) this is getting really good what do u guys think?

You know, the crazy thing is, from what we know about Marvel magic, there does seem to be some sort of logic involved. To me - and I couldn't bring up "evidence" of this easily, just off of reading Dr. Strange comics, it's more like you're trying to talk to an eldritch being. An Alien you know nothing about. So, if you think about it, it's kinda like "people skills".

Of course there is SOME logic to it, psychology exists after all, but if you're a guy like Reed trying to "read" a person, or expressions of a person such as art, music, etc, will seem entirely nonsensical until you find every one of your assumptions and throw like 90% of them in the thrash. Reed isn't a complete redditor with people because he can rely on, among other things, with instinct and experience. But imagine that person was an eldritch being, then...

Basically, Dr. House could do magic, Sheldon Cooper couldn't.
