It's weird that HERBIE is here
Briefly

HERBIE, a small robot, debuted in Marvel's The New Fantastic Four animated series in 1978 as a replacement for the Human Torch due to licensing complications. Although designed for a children's audience, his simplistic role and personality have made him controversial among fans. In Fantastic Four: First Steps, his presence is met with skepticism, as many believe he detracts from the core dynamic of the original team, shining a light on the struggle to include all four characters in adaptations.
