Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
... and my theory is this: Tom Rothman was once molested by a giant.

No, seriously. It all makes sense now. This is the guy who absolutely resisted any attempts to put the Sentinels in any of the X-MEN movies, who once famously said, “There won’t be any giant robots in any movie my studio makes.”

And now... well, now Fox has finally locked down the look of Galactus in the film that is, I’m now hearing from people on the picture, “a heartbreaker.” And not in the good way. More in the “hates superheroes and plays more like a parody than a real film” way.

Are you ready for this?

Wanted to let you know what Galactus is going to look like / be represented as in the FF2 sequel:

A storm cloud.

Yep.

That's it. That's the solution from the creatives.

(clears throat).....pretty lame.

Think Superman/Silver Surfer flying through clouds with Galactus / Jorel VO.

My source is in the eye of the storm.

I've written reviews for your site as MegaSwarm (Fountain, Tenacious D, Scanner Darkly)


I don’t want to hate this movie. I didn’t think the first one was the worst Marvel movie ever. I also didn’t think it was a particularly good film. It was just mediocre, with a few elements that sort of kind of worked a little bit. I want a Silver Surfer/Galactus movie to be cool.

But a storm cloud?

Really?

Mr. Rothman, please just tell your therapist about where the giant touched you, then get over it and stop raping these comic book properties in an effort to settle the score, okay?

And sorry, but a purple armored giant who likes to eat planets isn't that cool.

Galactus wields the immeasurable Power Cosmic and has been described as "the most powerful creature in the universe."[19]
As such, Galactus is able to employ the limitless cosmic energies within him to produce nearly any effect he desires, including size-alteration,[20] the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter,[21] the teleportation of objects—even entire galaxies—across space and time,[22] the erection of impenetrable force fields,[21] the creation of interdimensional portals,[23] telepathy,[24] telekinesis,[25] and cosmic awareness on a universal scale.[26]
Galactus has even shown the ability to create sentient life in the form of Tyrant,[27] resurrect his herald Morg,[28] manipulate mortal souls[29] and remake dead worlds—including their populations — in every detail.[30]
Galactus requires his armor to help regulate his internal energies. As Galactus must continuously feed to sustain himself, his power levels are inconsistent throughout any given period. For this reason, Earth's heroes have been able to achieve various degrees of success in repelling — though not defeating — a starving, weakened Galactus.[31]
As the oldest known living entity in this universe, Galactus employs technology that by Mr. Fantastic's own admission—perhaps the most brilliant mind on Earth—he cannot even begin to grasp.[32]

Actually, I tihnk that would be pretty awesome.

Anyway, I never read the comics or watched the movies, so I don't really care how accurate it is to the original, aslong as it's good.

Although Galactus is usually perceived in humanoid form, each species perceives Galactus in a form resembling its own.[7] As a being who is both abstract entity (e.g. Death, Eternity, et al) and a physical creature, Galactus' true form and nature are beyond the capability of mortal beings to comprehend.

Ultimate Galactus, called Gah Lak Tus, was introduced in a trilogy written by Warren Ellis. Gah Lak Tus is first mentioned by Ultimate Vision, an early-warning system for worlds under threat by Gah Lak Tus, an immense (approx. 100,000 miles long) group mind of city-sized robotic drones that attacks worlds using envoys (resembling the Silver Surfer) followed by a flesh-eating virus that destroys all life. After this the entity breaks open the dying world and sucks all thermal energy from the core. Gah Lak Tus considers all forms and expressions of organic life to be so abhorrent it believed itself desecrated when telepathically contacted by Professor X.[45]

Galactus ... sure you saw some thin 'outlines' of his face at times, but they ultimately destroyed him.

Galactus recently discovered he was "starving" to death due to an addiction to the life forces of living beings which offer no sustenance, and was apparently killed when the Silver Surfer turned Galactus' own Elemental Converter against him. As Galactus dies he warns that his death will allow a great evil to surface. After his death, Galactus' remains took the form of a star.[12]
That great evil that Galactus spoke of emerged a year later in the form of the Biblical demon Abraxas, the universal embodiment of destruction and the antithesis of Eternity. The Fantastic Four discover that most of the energy that Galactus took from planets was devoted to keeping Abraxas imprisoned as, if released, the entity will eventually destroy the entire multiverse.[13] Franklin Richards pools his Celestial-level power with that of his sister Valeria Von Doom and reconstitutes Galactus, but the siblings permanently burn out their powers in doing so. The newly reformed Galactus reclaims the Ultimate Nullifier from Abraxas, and Reed Richards uses it to remake the multiverse into a version in which Abraxas never escapes. The Ultimate Nullifier is revealed to be an aspect of Galactus himself.[14]
Soon after however, Reed Richards designs a weapon with the express purpose of stripping Galactus of the Power Cosmic. The creation of the device is made possible with help from Quasar and Johnny Storm, who is cosmically aware at this time. The weapon succeeds in separating Galactus into his two core components - Galan and the Power Cosmic. Galan then exiles himself in another dimension, hoping that this act will prevent the Power Cosmic from finding him.[15] The ruse fails, however, as a fully reformed Galactus encounters the alien warrior Beta Ray Bill soon after.[16] The manner in which the Power Cosmic finds Galan has not been revealed.
