Title: Fantastic Four sequel am rosebudded: "Galactus doesn't actually appear..."
Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 13, 2007, 01:03:44 PM
From the interview posted on AICN today...

AICN: I'm just going to ask: does Galactus play a role in this film?

IOAN GRUFFUD (Mr. Fantastic): Um...his presence is felt in the movie. He doesn't physically appear, no. Galactus does have a form, doesn't he, in the comic books?

AICN: Actually he has a really beautifully designed costume that Jack Kirby created. It's a fairly elaborate costume actually with all sorts of machinations. When I first heard that the Silver Surfer would be in this second film and people were being a bit evasive about whether Galactus appeared, I'd assumed that the second film would set up the coming of Galactus, and that the actual confrontation with him would occur in the third film.

IOAN GRUFFUDD: It's more of a finite movie than the first one. It's not open-ended in that sense. But Galactus doesn't actually appear, so it does leave room for that possibility.

Wow, fuck you Gruffud. Learn about the source material you're supposed to be bringing to life. >:(

This just confirms that I'll skip this, just like the first one

Yeah, this pretty much killed the potential this film had.  Galactus has a presence?  What, do they feel his cosmic flatulence?

This is going to be distinguished mentally-challenged.  I now bet Silver Surfer proclaims Galactus is coming and Dr. Doom, resurrected with a new, toy-selling costume, creates some evil plan to steal Silver Surfer and/or Galactus' power so Silver Surfer teams up with Fantastic Four to stop him.  The end.

If I'm right, you all owe me a poney.

They should have jedi in this movie, that would pwn.  Luke could use some super awesome jedi power to send him a long long time forward into the future and then he could totally pwn the bad guys and make the fantastic 4 feel like crap!

The promise of a giant, live-action Galactus devouring planets and kicking ass.

Most likely Dr Doom will be cruising space in his BMV spaceship when he sees an egg in the vastness of stars. When he brings it onto his ship it hatches, and the fully grown Silver Surfer - silver genitals and all - emerges. At which point he calls Dr Doom "Galactus", which is the native word for "father" in his long lost language.

Doom then tells the Surfer to travel to earth and interupt the wedding of his hated rival Mr Fantastic, and his lovely bride Invisible Girl (who Doom secretely lusts for). But it's not them he seeks: instead, Doom instructs the Surfer to lead The Human Torch to space. Once the trap is set the Surfer grabs the Torch and drops him into Doom's space lab.

Here Doom realizes his suspicions are true - the Torch is indeed the Invisible Girl's twin brother! With this information Doom uses stem cells and DNA from Johnny to create a female clone of himself, but with female gomeds - thus creating a newer, more powerful version of the Invisible Girl. With his new bride, Doom travels towards earth intent on enacting his revenge.

Twice the honeymoons, twice the action!

He devours planets.  That's pretty awesome, in my book.  The prospect of a live action version of Galactus, complete with modern day effects, was pretty exciting.  But all of my hope for this movie evaporated pretty quick!

Well, it's the sequel to Fantastic Four 1, so it pretty much goes without saying.

The budget and skills of this outfit would hardly have done Galactus justice. Maybe they had the good sense to realize this.

Gah Lak Tus > Galactus

The Ultimate version?  I somehow doubt this.  That's about the time I dropped the Ultimate line completely.

They increased the budget exponentially, as the first one made FOX a crapload of money.  Whether or not Barbershop and original F4 helmer, Tim Story, could do it justice is probably a lopsided debate.
