You’re really overestimating the damage the previous FF films have done. Most people don’t really remember the FF films enough to be turned off from ever seeing another FF film especially if you allow a good amount of time to pass before we get Fantastic Four. Unlike the X-Men, The FF are very easy integrate into the universe especially since they’re only four characters really unlike X-Men where they’re dozens of them around and you’d have go through the trouble of explaining why we haven’t seen Mutants in the MCU before(the in-universe reason, not the obvious real-life legal reasons). Heck the earliest a FF film could possibly come out would be 2021 and that’s a good 6 year time gap between Fan4stic and the MCU Fantastic Four. Hardly anyone is going to be thinking about the previous films by then.
History backs me up. For the classic CBM example, Batman Begins was 8 years after Batman & Robin but the latter drastically affected the former's box office. Audiences were gun-shy. And unlike Fantastic Four, Batman had had popular films in the past and it was really only the one film that was truly hated (FF has three, not counting the un-released 1994 film). People remember these things.
