A STORM CLOUD.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32330

Wow, so lame huh? Big wiener up the butt right there. I'm 100% positive there will be a comic stip about this shit.

Suddenly the choice made with the Transformers movie don't look so bad.

    I'll admit being disappointed - I was hoping for a giant who dwarfed the planet - but is it totally unreasonable? I mean, we accepted the Ultimate-Galatcus-as-Swarm thing, so is the cloud that far off?

    I'm holding on judgment at least until we see some animation...

    Why wouldn't they want a summer blockbuster to have a planet-devouring giant?

    Still, that 'report' is only text, so I don't think it's worth jumping to any conclusions over yet.

    I know it's only text, but they get a lot of things right, if not always on the nose. To not represet him as the fun loving giant we all love, is sad. :(

    In fairness, none of us want the Galactus-w/o-Pants costume he wore for over a decade (not to mention that enormous "G" on his belt), so it's not totally unfair of them to just re-imagine him.

    yeah uh are you sure it's not actually a swarm cloud
    a cloud of swarming alien machines from a long dead race that can only be beaten by channeling the energy of the big bang of a new universe directly into the swarm

    Frankly, I can't think of anything that would look stupider in a movie than the big purple Galactus, but I guess that's why I've never been a FF fan. I feel like everyone clamoring for the Kirby Galactus is playing a big joke on me.

    A storm cloud is just stupid. It isn't like they would have to make Galactus look exactly like Kirby's Galactus. Just make him shadowy, not purple, and some other changes and he would look decent.

    The purple costume isn't what bugs me the most. It's mostly the fact that he's 20 stories tall. If that can be swept under the rug then I guess I might be okay with it. But no amount of computer graphics trickery is likely to sell me on a live action movie where a bunch of superheroes talk to a giant person threatening to eat the planet.

    I can get behind Galactus being a large cosmic cloud, but it has to be sentient though only communicating with his heralds directly. He is a force of nature in the comics, who shape changes based on what species is viewing him on the planet he is about to consume (so only humans view him as a large silly man in purple)


    or...we go the entire movie with seeing this large black galactus cloud and only at the end do we see it start to clear and a large purple hand begins to emerge from it :P

    I dunno, I guess it could work. What with a huge star appearing and having it rain fire and shit around the world. I think they could execute it in a cool way. My main problem is - how the fuck do you fight a storm cloud? At least with a gaint purple dude you know what to hit.

    Wow. I've got to say, that's the dumbest fucking thing I've heard in a while. A cloud? Maybe it forms into what we'll think he is for the sequel and Doom helps the FF and Alba cries and and and....

    Wait. You're excited about the Fantastic Four sequel? Come now. Memory serves the first wasn't all that great.

    I'm sorry, but I must respectfully AND MIGHTILY disagree. I can at NO point see a Silver Surfer voiced by Laurence Fishburn playing bitch to a giant raincloud.

    I really didn't like the Ultimate Galactus, mainly just because it didn't actually have a consciousness. I prefer Galactus to at least be sentient, then just be a force of nature.

    At this point, Galactus should just be a huge flying marshmellow that lands on planets that get absorbed into his squishy goodness.

    The Silver Surfer can be a herald of his tasty awesomeness.

    Then the Human Torch could make smores. End movie.

    So,

    My roommate wrecked my car,
    My friends who go to Virginia Tech are now emotionally scarred for life,
    My friend from NMT's GF of 2 years leaves him,
    I get fired for being late to work because I don't have a car to drive now,
    and now Galactus is a puff of cloud.


    So when is my computer gonna blow up and leave me horribly disfigured. Its coming, there is no doubt about that but how much more fucked up stuff is gonna happen in the world immediately around me before then.

    My money is on the cloud appearing as a cliff hanger right at the end, maybe a big booming "FEED ME" or something... and then end. It won't be clear if he IS the cloud, or if he is WITHIN the cloud.

    The third movie will be about the fight with Galactus, and that's when his ship will descend from the cloud, and he will step out in all his fruity, mini-skirted purple GLORY! Ok maybe not, but I thought the Ultimate Alliance design for Galactus was extremely good, kept the feel without looking stupid, so I do believe they can pull it off if they decide to.

    They just don't want to show you the big G in this movie because it will a) give them something to make fans drool over for the NEXT movie, b) save money on special effects for the second movie and c) won't tie them into a design for him just in case there is a change of creative teams/improvement in technology etc.

    For for all those who said the first movie sucked... you aren't wrong. But I still think it was enjoyable, and I'm capable of looking forward to the second one without pinning all my hopes and dreams on it.

    Technically, he isn't wearing any of that as his true form is beyond mortal comprehension. Humans just happen to see him that way.
