The film's conflict centers around Galactus saying that he'll only decide to not eat the Earth if the F4 hand over baby Franklin Richards due to his immense reality-warping power. Naturally, new parents Reed and Susan Richards refuse to give up their son without a fight.

At the end of the film, the Fantastic Four skip out on a talk show appearance celebrating their five year anniversary to go on another adventure. This is played for laughs.

Susan Storm dies from using her powers to push Galactus into the wormhole. She gets brought back to life by her cosmically empowered infant son moments later though.
In addition, Johnny Storm attempts to sacrifice himself to push Galactus into the wormhole, but the Silver Surfer pushes him out of the way so she can do it instead.

No- but *spoiler* near the end of the movie a main character suggests what they are about to do will sacrifice themselves to beat galactic (albeit an unlikely character thwarts their attempt and then sacrifices themselves.)

Flashing lights scenes (lmk if I missed any):
- During the ABC flashback/montage at the beginning, there are quick camera flashes through the entire sequence.
- When Johnny puts on his space suit helmet in his room to watch the recording.
Recurring scenes with flashing:
- During the press conference scenes, reporters' cameras flash.
- Teleporters - the small & large teleporters flash when turned on.
- Whenever Galactus activates his eye scanner/lights.

The silver surfer is referred to as nude—she appears to have a barbie doll type build, but realistically if she is comic accurate, she just has a layer of a silver substance over clothes and is not technically nude.

No, not at all. Despite some major property damage caused by Galactus, the film ends with the Fantastic Four successfully saving Earth and have gone out of their way to evacuate the people of New York underground. However, a mid credits scene shows Doctor Doom infiltrating the Baxter Building and sitting down with Franklin, which can only mean bad news for everyone.
