Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Please use spoiler-tags

I hope he has a better voice this time around...

I'm interested in seeing how Silver Surfer and Galactus will be protrayed. I mean, will Galactus still be a required part of the universe? Or will Surfer still be capable of ascending the speed of light? I doubt it, considering movie variations of comic book characters are depicted as inferior to their 616-counterparts in the extents of their abilities. None the less, I suspect the only thing that could save everyone from Big G's onslaught is Reed Richard's intelliect.

The description of Galactus in the movie came out today....

And....he's a cloud... a fraking rain cloud.... WTF?!

I won't believe it, intill I hear from official sources. Tim Story stated that Galactus's design would satisfy most people. He better keep his word, or hate will follow, and he'll prove that he doesn't think outside the box.

F*CK!

Why can't they just use the Ultimate Alliance design?

[Anarky]

Because maybe that doesn't look like Laurence Fishburne at all and they feel that a could is a better Fishburne than a humanoid thing. And besides, clouds are all the rage since the one in the first Hulk Movie was such a cool villain.

But then again, I don't believe anything until I've seen a computer rendering.

The storm cloud could easily be being taken out of context, the cliffhanger could be the storm, and Galactus descends on Earth in the third movie, the cloud may just be the beggining of his arrival.

[Mecha Cow]

Seriously, a giant dude in purple tights and space armor would look ridiculous on film anyway. They're better off not showing Galactus at all and having him as an invisible threat, in which case a dark cloud would work just fine. If they must show him, they should go with the Ultimate version, which may be lame but is at least believable.

And what's this about Fishburne?

And Darth Vader doesn't look like James Earl Jones, so apperance should be irrelevant.

That's what I would like to think.

Lawrence Fishburne has been cast as the voice of Galactus.

[Mecha Cow]

For real? So much for the invisible threat angle then.

You don't think this would look cool on screen? It would be far more accurate to the source material than a f*cking thunderstorm.

[Revan]

So is the Silver Surfer evil? I always thought he was a hero.

That is a much better design than the 60's one I am familiar with. Still, I think a giant space guy would be pretty strange in a movie. I know it's based on comics and all that but in a film there needs to be some sense of believability. Like I said in my previous post, I think Ultimate Galactus would work best here.

And the Surfer will most likely 'switch sides' in the course of the story. Hell, I'm pretty sure they already said he would. It's a pretty integral part of the character anyway.

Ah, here we go, the "realism" Nazis strike again

The Silver Surfer looks homoerotic, always did, and there keeping his form in the film when they could have put speedos on him. You have NO argument. At all

[Dr. Doom]

How does he look homoerotic?

[Anarky]

He's naked? I mean, he might be silvery all over, but he's still naked. Very naked.

[Dr. Doom]

He's clothed in.....silver? There's nothing homoerotic about being aerodynamic.

Nothing NECESSARILY homoerotic.

[Anarky]

You forget the geek-factor. If comic book fans can point at things and call them "Hesh like shoooo gay hehehehehe *snort*", then they can sleep better at night. So therefore they find gayness in everything.

[Raven]

The silver surfer looks gay? Thats a new one.

They really thought that making galactus a storm cloud is a good idea? Mabey its a good way to save some money so they can spend more on other things but....really?
