Rise of the Silver Surfer GALACTUS Discussion

[Willie Lumpkin]

YIKES!


I was just riffin' Willie a bit, no hard feelings

No problem here. I am pretty silly looking.

 

[Prognosticator]

Willie doesn't do the corning around here......

You WOULD enjoy a thorough corn-cobbing, you sicko!

 

[Prognosticator]

I looked very hard i didn't see it

Yeah SERIOUSLY, if there was said shadow of Galactus, and you had to be REALLY imaginative to see(!), do we have a still frame of that "shadow" in this thread??

I honestly thought it wouldn't have hurt for the flaming center of the mega-cloud storm to be a flaming resemblance to Galactus. That would have been MORE than sufficient, satisfying even!

Hey, it gets boring for us mods around here....

I've seen the screencap. There is indeed something there. No, when I went to go see it at the theater I did not see it. You need the screencap and/ or bootleg GIF to tell what's happening, and even then all I see is the silhouette of his head. The face everybody is talking about is too obscure to see. It's only on the screen for a few seconds anyway- talk about a waste of cash.

Link to screencap please???


I know what everyone's talking about. In fact, the FIRST tease came as the clouds shadow over Saturn appear to look like Galactus head. Then, there's BARELY a smidgen of a resemblance to something that might resemble Galactus in the clouds... :

It's a girl telling a 14 year old male he can see her naked for over a year, and then turning on a smoke machine and staying dressed.

We are not linking to the screencap, if a link is put up, that person gets probation....we are also deleting anyone asking for the link....there is a sticky about posting pics from illegal bootleg copies of the movie as a sticky at the top of this forum........might be a good idea to read the sticky and the announcement....

thanks.

Uh, is this getting a little personal for you?

 

[Prognosticator]

OH MY GOD THEY RELEASED A SNEEK PEEK PIC OF THANOS FOR THE THIRD MOVIE!!!

LMAO!!! t: This deserves mention when we get to the "Year's End Best Of Posts"! Royally Funny!

I was just reading about that a few pages back. How would I have known it was from a bootleg??? I didn't, simple as that. I don't see why you'd "delete anyone asking for the link" if they didn't know any better?? That doesn't make any sense.

You didn't have to read it in this thread, we have a thread ABOUT THE BOOTLEG PHOTOS at the very top of this forum. As I stated in the post to you. We had person after person asking for the photo. That puts us as a middle man for illegal usage of this movie. We have a good relationship with the studios and we would like to keep it that way.

It may not make sense to you, but that doesn't matter, the powers that be have given us the directive, and we will follow that directive....

It's as simple as that....

 

[Prognosticator]

Again, no problem. I-didn't-know-I-was-asking-to-see-something-illegal.

*Enter Chris Hanson*

Prognosticator: *Raises Eyebrows & stands up*

Chris Hanson: Go ahead, sit down.

Prog: *sits* I'm sorry.

CH: You're "sorry". Hmm, that's not what this transcript says...

Prog: Oh that.

CH: According to this, you were asking for illegal screen caps

Prog: I didn't know.

CH: You didn't know.

Prog: I thought it was legal.

CH: According to the transcript, the screencap is only 11 days old. Does that sound legal to you?

Prog: No sir.

CH: Then what were you thinking?

Prog: I don't know. I wasn't. I thought they were free.

CH: "Free"? Son, we live in America. Nothing's "Free".

Prog: I know. I've been bad.

CH: Why don't you tell me what else you were planning to do with the screencaps?

Prog: Nothing. I mean, I was just going to look. Make sure nothing bad happens...

CH: That's not what you said in the transcript. You said, "I can barely see your fiery head. I want you to show me more..." Didn't you?

Prog: [shame] Yeah [/shame]

CH: Oh, one more thing. And that's I'm Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC.

Prog: ....I better go. I've learned my lesson.

I see the 'corn' jokes are still going strong...

 

[The BatDude]

Is it me or did Galactus kinda look like a bunch of Kirby Dots.

No...
He's a fiery silhouette in an otherwise black and grey picture.

You see him before you enter the fire.
...for all of a second and a half.
Stupid Fox. I'm getting angrier the more I think about it.

yeah I meant the fire made it look like Kirby Dots. Off subject I loved Stan's cameo.

*EDIT* Ignore.

I am a comics fan and I didn't mind the interpretation of Galactus in the film. He has the same basic motivation, etc. Also, I viewed it, I don't know if it was intended to be seen this way, that the cosmic storm, etc was a part of Galactus and he does have a form. Like when they show him passing by Saturn, you clearly see Galactus' helmet, then it becomes cloudy and dissipates. It was referred to as a "he" be the Surfer. How did the Surfer and Galactus create their agreement if Galactus doesn't have a physical form? etc. I rather liked the ambiguity of it. I would have liked to see the form of Galactus, but that might have come across cheesy. Not as cheesy, however, as Doom on the surf board.

[Spider - Man]

I see the 'corn' jokes are still going strong...

Hey, man, 'corn' is no joke, it is deadly serious! When someone starts poppin' some corn up in here, you better duck and cover!

If you smell butter, you know someone's about to get CORNED!!

I got a million of 'em! (Well, more like 72, but still...)

Help me, Malus!

 

[The BatDude]

would Ultimate Galactus have worked in the film? And would you rather see that then a cloud?

 

[Keyser Sushi]

I don't know if someone at Marvel saw Phantom Menece one day, and called their directors, and said "look here! Make these wonderful characters side characters in your sequels, and make sure you kill them off like they did to Darth Maul so the kids don't think he's cooler then our hero! (Which also screws up the entire origin), and change the look of them to!"

Nobody died in FF2.

While the whole Marriage plot was silly the Surfer story was done pretty well until the end... The END ruined the entire movie!

Yes, because Sue and Reed aren't married or celebrities in the comics. Oh, wait, they are.

I grew up a big Silver Surfer fan, and what I saw on screen was just horrid!
What a way to rape a great classic icon like the Silver Surfer!

Most people agree that the Silver Surfer was the best part of the movie. What's your problem?

Tim Story sure knows how to make a movie look nice on screen but he cannot tell a story correctly if his life depended on it, and he alone takes the blame for this! He should know better then this, and he also should never be allowed near another comic book movie!

Tim Story didn't write the movie, did he?

I mean No GALACTUS? Is he kidding me? While in the cloud there was some sort of shape which resembled the Galactus helmet I was still very upset at the ending of the film.... Biggest disappointment of the year! Well tied with the whole Venom storyline in Spiderman 3!

Galactus was in the movie. And he wasn't a cloud, either. But we've been through this. Welcome to the party. Read the discussion between Saint, Guard, and myself on the last couple of pages.

How on hell can they spin off the Surfer story into a movie now?
It's going to have to be a re-start which will have to include the FF again because the storyline in the comics has him first show up on earth in a bloody Fantastic Four comic!

Errrr... no it won't. The post-credits clip showed that the Surfer was alive... and as Saint has pointed out, Surfer is not powerful enough to destroy Galactus. As I said in my previous post, the "cloud" was, I believe, Galactus' vehicle / vacuum cleaner. They borrowed a little from Ultimate Galactus by having him arrive in the center of a vortex with some mechanical elements to it. He is ultra-powerful, after all. So if this was his vehicle, then the the Surfer destroyed it and Galactus is out there, floating in space, very pissed off. Which sets up a Silver Surfer movie perfectly.

Never again will I let myself get suckered in by Tim Story...

Look, I'm not saying Tim Story is a genius or anything. But it's sad that you're acting like you're smarter than he is and yet your post sounds like a whiney six year old child.
