The Superhero Show #635: Fantastic Four: Saur WinnersThe Superhero Show — Saur Winners This week, The Superhero Show continues its journey through Ryan North's Fantastic Four, diving into one of the most audaciously creative premises the series has delivered yet: Fantastic Four #12, "Saur Winners." When two parallel worlds begin to merge—one human, one where everyone is a dinosaur—the Fantastic Four find themselves swapped into a universe of literal, full-scale dinosaurs wearing superhero costumes. As Sue Storm faces off against Brachiosaurus Iron Man, Johnny Storm battles Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel, and Reed Richards confronts Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow, the hosts explore how Ryan North transforms a wild multiverse collision into a deeply personal story about family.Beyond the chaos and dinosaurs, the episode features emotional reunions with missing members of the Fantastic Four family, Sue Storm's doctorate is finally revealed, and the hosts dig into whether dinosaur superheroes work as genuine science fiction—or if they're just visual fun masquerading as high-concept storytelling.Saur Winners: How Alternate Universe Science Becomes a Story About FamilyThe hosts begin their discussion by celebrating the sheer audacity of the premise. A world of dinosaurs wearing superhero costumes could easily become a gimmick, a one-off visual joke that prioritizes spectacle over substance. Instead, Ryan North uses the multiverse collision as a vehicle for something far more meaningful: reuniting separated family members.The hosts explore what this choice reveals about North's approach to the Fantastic Four. Rather than treating the alternate universe as an obstacle to overcome, North grounds the story in the emotional stakes that matter most to his characters. The cosmic threat becomes secondary to the personal journey—what does it mean to see family members you thought you'd lost? How do you fight for survival when the greatest reward is simply being together again?This strategy transforms what could have been a throwaway concept into a genuinely moving exploration of connection, loss, and redemption. The hosts agree that this is quintessential Ryan North: taking an absurd premise and letting it serve the emotional core of the story.Saur Winners: Sue Storm's Doctorate Finally RevealedOne of the most significant moments in the issue is the revelation of Sue Storm's doctorate. After everything the Fantastic Four have endured—running from troublemakers, dealing with crisis after crisis, protecting the world from constant threats—Sue's professional achievement finally comes into focus.The hosts spend considerable time discussing why this detail matters so much. Sue Storm has always been more than just the team's most powerful member; she's a brilliant scientist in her own right. Yet throughout her tenure as the Invisible Woman, her professional accomplishments have often been overshadowed by the chaos of superhero life. The revelation of her doctorate is more than just a fact—it's a recognition of her identity beyond the costume.The hosts consider what this suggests about Sue's role in the family and in the larger Marvel Universe. As the team's emotional anchor and its most strategic thinker, Sue has earned the right to have her professional credentials acknowledged. This small but powerful moment speaks to something larger about how women in comics are often defined by their relationships to others rather than their own achievements. By finally centering Sue's doctorate, North affirms that she is a fully realized person with accomplishments that deserve recognition.Saur Winners: Dinosaurs Meet Superheroes—A Collision of ConceptsThe hosts then dive into the question that has defined their entire discussion: are dinosaur superheroes a gimmick, or does this premise actually work as genuine high-concept science fiction?On the surface, the idea of a universe populated entirely by dinosaurs in superhero costumes sounds absurd. Brachiosaurus Iron Man? Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel? Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow? The visual comedy is obvious, and the hosts certainly appreciate the humor. But they also recognize that Ryan North doesn't stop there.The issue draws from Robert Dicke's astrophysics discoveries, grounding the multiverse collision in actual scientific concepts. Yet crucially, North never lets the science lesson overtake the storytelling. The dinosaur premise serves as both a visual spectacle and a thematic exploration of multiverse convergence—what happens when two realities begin to merge, and how do characters adapt when the rules of their universe change?The hosts conclude that the dinosaur superheroes work as more than just visual fun precisely because North keeps the story front and center. The premise is wild, yes, but it's never at the expense of character development, emotional stakes, or thematic depth. In fact, the absurdity of the premise amplifies the emotional impact of family reunions and Sue's professional recognition. By throwing the Fantastic Four into an impossible situation, North strips away pretense and forces his characters to confront what truly matters.Saur Winners: Heroes vs. Dinosaur HeroesAs the hosts walk through the specific battles—Sue Storm vs. Brachiosaurus Iron Man, Johnny Storm vs. Lambeosaurus Captain Marvel, Reed Richards vs. Quetzalcoatlus Black Widow—they marvel at how North uses these matchups to explore character dynamics.These aren't random pairings. Each battle plays to the particular strengths and vulnerabilities of the Fantastic Four members. The hosts discuss how these confrontations serve multiple purposes: they provide the action spectacle the issue promises, but they also force each character to adapt, improvise, and ultimately survive in an environment completely foreign to them.What emerges is a portrait of a team tested to its absolute limits, fighting not just for victory but for the chance to reunite with loved ones. The dinosaur element, rather than distracting from the stakes, actually heightens them by making every moment feel genuinely unpredictable.Saur Winners: Family, Loss, and ReconnectionBeyond the action and the science fiction premise, the hosts emphasize that what makes "Saur Winners" truly memorable is its emotional core. The reunions with missing members of the Fantastic Four family provide some of the issue's most powerful moments.After years of stories where family members have been separated, lost, or taken away, the opportunity to be together again becomes the real victory of the issue. The hosts reflect on how Ryan North consistently prioritizes character relationships over spectacle, and how that commitment to emotional authenticity transforms even the wildest premises into stories that resonate.By the end of the issue, the Fantastic Four have survived an impossible situation, Sue's contributions have been formally recognized, and the family is whole again. It's a perfect distillation of what makes North's run so consistently rewarding.Saur Winners: Ryan North's Multiverse VisionThe hosts wrap up their discussion by reflecting on how "Saur Winners" exemplifies Ryan North's approach to the Fantastic Four. North has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to take science fiction concepts that seem designed purely for novelty and transform them into vehicles for genuine storytelling and character development.Whether it's a house falling toward the Earth's core or a world of dinosaur superheroes, North ensures that the emotional stakes and character moments remain paramount. The hosts agree that this is what separates truly excellent comic storytelling from mere spectacle—the willingness to make wild premises serve deeper purposes.Final Thoughts — Saur WinnersBy the end of Saur Winners, The Superhero Show has once again found itself celebrating everything that makes Ryan North's Fantastic Four such a standout series. Between the audacious premise, the character reunions, Sue Storm's long-overdue professional recognition, and the thoughtful exploration of multiverse science, Fantastic Four #12 proves that Ryan North continues to deliver some of Marvel's most creative and emotionally resonant storytelling.The dinosaur superheroes are unforgettable, yes—but what lingers is the reminder that even in the wildest stories, character and heart are what matter most. If you've been following North's run, "Saur Winners" is another essential issue you won't want to miss.Are You a Research Nerd Who's Looking For More?Here are some links for all your research wants and needs!Ryan North's Fantastic FourRobert Dicke - AstrophysicistMultiverse in Marvel ComicsJoin the discussions online!

In dieser Folge interviewt Viola Saur den Kinder- und Jugendpsychiater Fabian Schneider darüber, wie er die Methode der Ego-State-Therapie in einer systemischen Gruppentherapie mit Jugendlichen einsetzt. Ego-State-Therapie (vgl. dazu Interview mit Woltemade Hartman in Folge 3 des Specials) wurde bisher fast ausschließlich im Einzelsetting angewandt, eignet sich aber auch hervorragend für die Gruppentherapie. Fabian Schneider berichtet von seinen Erfahrungen mit dieser vielseitig einsetzbaren Methode in der Gruppe. Es gibt zahlreiche jugendtypische Themen wie Identität, Selbstbewusstsein oder auch Prokrastination beim Lernen, die mit Hilfe des Konzeptes der Ego-States sehr gut bearbeitet werden können. Gerade auch beim Thema Ambivalenz birgt die Arbeit mit Ego-States viele Möglichkeiten. Beliebt bei den Jugendlichen sind auch geleitete Trancen zur Kontaktaufnahme mit Ressourcen-assoziierten Ego-Staes wie beispielsweise der Inneren Stärke, dem inneren Kern oder der inneren Selbstliebe. Dieses Interview ermutigt Gruppentherapeut:innen, die in Ego-State-Therapie weitergebildet sind, diese Methode in ihre Gruppentherapien zu integrieren. _____________ Folgt auch den anderen Podcasts von Carl-Auer: autobahnuniversität https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/autobahnuniversitat Blackout, Bauchweh und kein` Bock https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/blackout-bauchweh-und-kein-bock Cybernetics of Cybernetics https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/cybernetics-of-cybernetics Genau Geschaut: https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/genau-geschaut Frauen führen besser https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/frauen-fuhren-besser Formen (reloaded) Podcast https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/formen-reloaded-podcast Heidelberger Systemische Interviews https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/heidelberger-systemische-interviews Zum Wachstum inspirieren https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/zum-wachstum-inspirieren Zusammen entscheiden https://www.carl-auer.de/magazin/zusammen-entscheiden-2
