Rise of the Silver Surfer GALACTUS Discussion

[Anti-Venom]

Okay, I admit it!

You guys were right!

You can see something that resembles Galactus' face when the Surfer goes into the cloud. I thought you guys were imagining it, but you were right.

Also, when it shows the cloud passing Saturn, the shadow on Saturn is shaped like Galactus' helmet.

 

[Spider-Bat]

I just heard stupid Tim Story didn't have Galactus the right way and instead as a giant cloud because he doesn't like giant robots, and Gal reminded him too much of a robot! WTF!!!

What an idiot!!! So thanks to him and his stupidity Galactus got screwed over and the fans, all because of that ****** who even though he says he knows these characters and is a fan is clearly NOT!!!

Gal does not look like a robot, and I don't care what that ass hole thinks, you bring that character to life 'cause that is what he looks like and what the fans want to see dammit!

Can't Marvel just be like listen boy make it the right way we don't care what you think this is who this character is and has been for decades!

Stupid B.S.!!!

 

[Mercurius]

IThat goes both ways......and I see it as going both ways. You may not, and that there, kind sir, shows bias in the grandest of terms. I have fought for both sides to give their opinions here....but when the motives are questionable, I will take action. If my action is not liked or agreed with, so be it. But action will be taken.

As far as not reading harsh criticism....apparently you missed my entire thread. And sorry, I don't recall you posting here during the first movies run, so I'm not sure how you would know if I posted anything or not.

The definition of "questionable" is, I think, what is at stake here.

It is questionable, so we just delete it, or should we first give a piece of advice and then move it to its proper place?

When you just choose to wipe out "questionable" words against a movie you evidently enjoy much, you open some grounds to discussion.

And I don't think it goes both ways. I've always seen this solid pressure here against criticism. One person says a bad thing (no matter how true) and at least five happy ones try to hammer it down without being seen as "questionable".

The favourable ones may repeat the same thing about their jolly opinions without getting the: "this was said 500 times before. Oooouaaahh.. Move on". Well, that could be called "biased judgement".

Perhaps that is the reason criticism here got so hard sometimes: if you put to much pressure on something...

People from both sides can be vicious sometimes, and of course it demands action. But that wasn't the case.

And, yes, I wasn't posting then, but I was reading. Even so, the fact that you found some problem here and there in the first movie still made you a great supporter of it.

"Not that there's anything wrong with it". t:

Maybe we will get to see the real Galactus in the Silver Surfer movie. IMO if Galactus started out as a giant creature & then turned into that humongous devouring cloud it would have been better but he should have turned back into Galactus form after Silver Surfer got rid of the giant devouring cloud.

I actually agree with a lot of this, it is almost impossible to post anything negative on here without 5 people jumping on your back for doing so, and in an offensive way, yet they are the one's that get away with it, its been like this since the first movie was released.

Maybe we will get to see the real Galactus in the Silver Surfer movie. IMO if Galactus started out as a giant creature & then turned into that humongous devouring cloud it would have been better but he should have turned back into Galactus form after Silver Surfer got rid of the giant devouring cloud.

I certainly hope we do! 2 years of waiting and all we got was a shadow in a cloud! Dissapointing to say the least.

jeez... this discussions still going on?

Heres a suggestion... maybe Galactus in the movies was EXACTLY the same as Galactus in the comics after all.

Check out this picture... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/37/Galactuspov.PNG and read the bottom part.

Galactus doesnt look like that.. he's a being of pure energy. Peoples minds have to make sense of it so he looks different to everybody that sees him.

Now in a comic world of superheroes and villains... people looking on him would see his evil and give it the image of a massive supervillain, because theyre the most destructive forces they know,
but in a real world without supervillains... people looking on him and would see his evil as a huge destructive cloud like a storm or nuclear mushroom cloud... because theyre
The way he is percieved by the individual is the way they can best interpret the energy and destruction of what he is. Im just saying maybe the average cinema goer would see him as something entirely different from someone living in a comic universe

I don't buy it, and I don't think the decision to make him a cloud was based on that.

 

[Prognosticator]

Remember when we weren't aloud to post that image of Galactus?? LOL!

Galactus in Galactus form would have probably looked silly devouring the different planets by himself but hopefully in a spin-off Silver Surfer movie Galactus will be used as an actual character that has the ability to speak & change forms/entities.

Maybe a voice over by Silver Surfer at the beginning of the movie that told a little backstory about him & Galactus would have helped explain things more.

 

[CaptainClown]

well if they had a silver surfer voice over I would want them to show different forms of galactus and how he is perceived differently

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I never said you knew, i said you now know.
Given your dreadful reputation on here i am afraid seeing anything from you as a joke is kinda like expecting water to turn into wine, If you actually thought it made my finger happy...well....I guess you haven't seen this board at it's peak

Actually your Galactus post wasn't deleted, my error, The comments were made after it about it being a pointless post and you got defended by Mercurius alone, this boards top FF2 hater, wow your are vindicated.

As for whether you were trying to cause a problem, again i'll just point to your track record of probations and what not.

Are you actually believing this as you type it or are you tripping on something ? You are one of the worst posters here, with 2 threads in problem users and a list of complaints for your horrid attitude, unpleasent nature and arrogant, disrespectful tone, you are no little guy, you are simply trying to get around the fact you are disliked by many b/c you are a borderline troll and flam artist, you are lucky to not already be banned.
We have had run ins with each other and there is no mistaking we don't like each other but there are ppl i dislike here far worse than you who have never received any modding from me at all b/c unlike you they aren't a problem poster. you speak of little ppl and power trips as you sit on your soap box, Get this correct, I will always be one of the posters and they know that, the fact most find you completely impossible and i have no issues with them pretty much tells the story

I find it funny that you can claim to know the general mindset of the forum, and that you can actually try to peg me as being one of the worst posters on the forum. Very unethical of you from a moderator's standpoint. Do you actually have any data, stats, info ANYTHING to support your claim? Highly doubtful. Your assessment of me is nothing more than your own view of me, and its deluded you into thinking that I don't get along with anyone, which is a complete fabrication. I can think of a handful of people on this board I don't get along with, and one thing I have in common with them is that I stick to my opinion voraciously, and that I will not back down and I will return fire with like fire. Call it arrogance if you want, I don't care. As I've said, I've seen much worse from posters.

We've disagreed time and time again, and that's why you're joining Albafan in your crusade against me.

Again, I did NOTHING wrong, and you two deleted my posts without reason. Funny that they BOTH had to do with FF2.

Also your review was of the movie not the DVD so therefore had no place in the DVD thread.

Hum, had that rule actually been posted, I would have. The thread said for people who had seen FF2 on DVD to post and review there, that's what I did. My review was negative, so Albafan deleted it. The fact that she responded so irrationally to my post shows it was nothing more than her defending her movie and abusing her mod powers and censoring me, a claim which has been brought up more than once on this forum.

Again, it would have been moved if it was a simple case of not being in the right thread. Yes, it was a very negative review, but I did spend some time writing it and for her to delete the review out of spite is simply unacceptable and yet more examples of lack of ethics in regards to mod behavior and responsibility. I am pissed about it, and I have every right to be.

Actually i do have the data and if you want to push it and really open this up then go for it, we have 2 threads on you, a long list of complaints about you from users and you also have several user notes in your profile, you don't believe me ? go ask Drak or Dew or anyone of the other mods to check what ive just said, it's all documented.

As for you sticking to your opinion voraciously, your lack of debating skills isn't sticking to your opinion, you swap argument for condescension and rudeness.

We've disagreed time and time again, and that's why you're joining Albafan in your crusade against me.

I'm not joining Albafan in anything, You were trying to accuse her of things, I saw and said something, i'd have done the same whether my name was in red or not, my disagreeing with you on other matters has no bearing except in your paranoid mind. Ive debated with you plenty of times and felt more than satisfied with the outcome from a posting standpoint and on more than one occasion if you recall, gave credit where it was due to you.

Again, I did NOTHING wrong, and you two deleted my posts without reason. Funny that they BOTH had to do with FF2.

I deleted your post as flamebait, your record suggests i was right. Also i am no huge FF2 lover, i enjoyed the movie yes but if i was gonna get you for hating a movie there are others you have trashed i liked a lot more, stop being so damn paranoid man.

Hum, had that rule actually been posted, I would have. The thread said for people who had seen FF2 on DVD to post and review there, that's what I did. My review was negative, so Albafan deleted it. The fact that she responded so irrationally to my post shows it was nothing more than her defending her movie and abusing her mod powers and censoring me, a claim which has been brought up more than once on this forum.

i figured it was pretty clear the intent of the thread, if Kel was really upset over a few mean reviews she'd be deleting all day long, you ain't special.

 

[mightiest_mortal]

well if they had a silver surfer voice over I would want them to show different forms of galactus and how he is perceived differently

that could work... they just need to say that the purple hatted giant is how silver surfer has come to percieve him.. and technically it wouldnt nessacarily contradict FF2

 

[CaptainClown]

ya, then show how humans perceive him which is a cloud then we will all be fine and dandy

Good Lord, I posted this Byrne page about 4 months ago .... although it seems like 4 years t: .... and it resulted in about a 2 week long debate. Also worth noting is the images from the Galactus origin that originally appeared in the Lee/Kirby issues of Thor and reprinted in Super Villain #1 The Origin of Galactus

 

[Porygon]

And then he built the armour to contain himself, right?

Dang it IM, you know its all about the debate....NOT THE FACTS.......come on now, how long have you been posting here.....t:

 

[Vaportrail]

If he was a cloud like that in the beginning... that makes me wonder if we've seen the last of Galactus?

Hmmmm.

-Vaportrail

 

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Hmmmm.

-Vaportrail

Galactus will eventually pull himself back together & begin again. The Silver Sulfer didn't kill Galactus he just temporarily disabled him.

 

[Dynasty]

I've heard a lot of talk about whether or not they show Galactus in his original form in the movie, I've been going through pages of pages of people arguing but have yet to find an image of the big G. When I saw Rise of the Silver Surfer in theaters the closes thing I remember seeing was his shadow on the planet, but now there’s a lot of talk that you can see his face when surfer goes into the storm!?!?... PLEASE POST SCREENCAP/PICTURE

Thanks, I hope this topic doesn’t get deleted because I think a lot of ppl have come here asking/wondering the same question.

If this gets closed can someone please pm the pic.

 

[Malus]

I'm assuming this is fine since DVD screen captures were okay'd last week:

It's fleeting, but it certainly appears to be the outline of classic Galactus.
It's definitely not something we "imagined."

 

[Dynasty]

I don't really see it.... so its the fire that forms the shape of his head? Is there any high def images?

 

[Malus]

Yes, the fire is Galactus. Or Galactus appears to be made of fire.
Maybe this is how he appears as he begins to feed? When the Surfer confronts Galactus, he is disrupting the feeding in progress.
All a moot question, since the image is onscreen so briefly (2 seconds, tops) and so very few people noticed it. And who would have noticed it but a few die-hard fans? It may as well not be there.

In the manip below, I've placed white dots where I "see" Galactus' eyes:

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

That is definately the shadow of 616 Galactus, and just before the Surfer does his thing, we hear a laugh from him, but its just not enough, the least he should have been was a giant ship.

 

[Damiean Dark]

Im dissapointed they didnt show Galactus but how they portrayed him in FFRSS wasnt as bad as i thought it would be when i heard about the cloud.
