After Eternals, I expected him to be a LOT bigger and a LOT more intimidating and destructive than he was.
shadesof32025-12-05 15:39
Ya same. I know he can change his size and all that but I just really wanted like a planet sized version for at least a scene or two. Maybe he's like scanning the planet for Franklin and then locks in and shrinks down.
MedievZ2025-12-05 15:45
Yeah. He looked really really great but the way he was used in the movie was just so underwhelming.
The Interstellar chase sequence was like a 100 times more visually impressive and exciting.
CommunityDragon1842025-12-05 16:15
What is the Eternals relationship?
MedievZ2025-12-05 16:18
Arishem the celestial, looked 100x cooler and more intimidating and like an universal force than Galactus. Like Arishem travels using black holes and parts the sky and his motif is like a dozen trumpets and Earth is dwarfed by him.
Its just so badass and they made it up for the movie but F4 couldn't do justice to Galactus's own comic history let alone come close to how well Arishem was portrayed in Eternals.
CommunityDragon1842025-12-05 16:20
Ohh ok guess we just disagree
secretlypooping2025-12-05 17:22
aren't they technically in different universes?
I can buy that celestials are different in the F4 part of the multiverse than the regular one
Jet-Let46062025-12-05 17:42
Galactus and the Celestials transcends the Multiverse.
secretlypooping2025-12-05 17:49
ahh, gotcha
Creative-Improvement2025-12-05 18:44
How does that work? Is there a version of them in each universe? Are they still one being?
CommunityDragon1842025-12-05 18:46
They persist when the multiverse/universe dies I believe.
Like if you died there’s stuff in your body that would live on. Bacteria and stuff. Maybe they’d hang around the tree that grows nearby and thus live in both universes
Jet-Let46062025-12-05 19:52
Different facets of the same being spread across the Multiverse.
The Celestials appear to be more linked to theulir Multiversal counterparts than Galactus however.
Every universe has their own copies. Remember the Mad Celestials that The F4, Doom, Franklin, and Galactus fought? Those weren't 616's Celestials.
Jet-Let46062025-12-05 20:25

CloseToMyActualName2025-12-05 20:03
I mean he's supposed to consume planets and yet he's only the size of a building.
It seemed like his eyes were a hell of a lot bigger than his stomach.
They needed to show a fully sized Galactus to make him the unfathomable threat that he represented, they also needed to show he had immense power other than being big.
I mean we saw him eating a planet, but we didn't really see him destroy it, or breeze through that planet's kickass group of defenders. Heroes have their "saves the cat" moment and villains similarly need a "kills the cat" moment. We saw Galactus with a dead cat, but never saw it die.
As for the finale itself, maybe they trick him into shrinking down to get Franklin, and we get some scene depicting how his hunger is causing him to be too distracted to use his powers, but we needed a full sized full powered Galactus.

That-Guava-94042025-12-05 15:28
I think it's sooo cool that it's basically actor Ralph Ineson, just "Galactus-ified" with CG
I think he was cast primarily because of his famous low register voice, but his face also clearly works well for this version of Galactus
Norgann2025-12-05 15:34
I am agreeing with you so hard right now. His eyes describe "I don't want to do this, I have to do this" vibe very well too.
Side note: If we ever see Galan origins, shi\* will go hard.
Jet-Let46062025-12-05 17:36
I wish they had done Galactus origin in the movie.
omegaphallic2025-12-06 04:46
Yet they really should have.
Spoodymen2025-12-06 17:15
Isnt he supposed to be a block of light that human cannot comprehend, with very deep lore? I’m glad marvel went with the humanoid spaceship inside a spaceship since the movie was too short to explain everything. His “planet eating” actually makes sense to non comic fan (he literally fuels himself with resources/pieces from planets through feeding tubes)
Jet-Let46062025-12-06 17:52
Every being sees him in their own image.
If a Skrull saw Galactus they would see a giant Skrull with a helmet.
See [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasticFour/s/k38yhVI6Hm).
Bodongs2025-12-07 00:20
Ah he's like the angel from Babylon 5.
RepresentativeAge4442025-12-05 21:13
I dunno. He seemed to get a kick out of torturing Reed. That was one part I didn’t like because it broke that and made him seem petty which he should be above imo
nwflman2025-12-06 01:14
I see what you mean and how it could come across as petty, but during that scene I got the impression Galactus was curious about how this small stretchy guy could slow him down, even for a second. Like, how far could he stretch? It contrasted him looking down dismissively at the Statue of Liberty.
The_Strom7842025-12-06 20:29
I took it more that he was curious about him. I don't think he's ever seen anything like Reed. He just doesn't really get pain anymore since he's been an immortal being for so long.
Master_____Blaster2025-12-05 23:37
Whilst I agree that the are, weren’t his eyes always the bright blue light throughout the movie? Apologies if I’m wrong
That-Guava-94042025-12-06 18:04
There were two modes: one where his eyes looked more "normal" but still glowing and trippy looking, similar to when he focuses on Sue during the FF's first meeting with him. And then ofc there is the version where his eyes fully light up, like when he stands up or is scanning. The former version has pupils, the other was fully lit eyes.
CommunityDragon1842025-12-05 15:48
I feel he’s more galactus-ified by the costume and makeup
The_FireFALL2025-12-05 16:04
And not even that much CGI. Look at the behind the scenes and you'll see 90% of the costume is practical.
That-Guava-94042025-12-05 16:51
I'm certain that is not the case in the final film. I've seen the BTS but the Galactus in the movie (and in these shots) is 100% CGI
chiefbrody622025-12-06 14:35
Well yes obviously, but it was scanned and used as a reference.
PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD2025-12-06 18:11

Galactus looked great in this movie. I just wish they included more of his backstory... and showed him doing something actually scary.
OkNefariousness96522025-12-05 17:18
I mean we saw him destroy & consume a whole planet & also heard multiple cries for help from multiple alien civilizations in the movie. That was pretty scary. But I agree with you on Galactus’ backstory cuz I don’t think they touched on that at all
Jet-Let46062025-12-05 17:39
He used his ship to do that.
By himself he only acclerated Sue's pregnancy, detected Franklin and beat the FF. I like the movie but think they could have done more to make Galactus feel like an otherworldly, near unstoppable cosmic being.
hercarmstrong2025-12-05 17:46
I can't believe that Unicron in the 1986 Transformers cartoon got a scarier (and more compelling) planet-destroying scene than Galactus, from whom Unicron was nakedly plagiarized. Marvel should be embarrassed.
3-DMan2025-12-05 20:13
I mean it was Orson Welles tho
OkNefariousness96522025-12-06 00:15
I get what you mean but he was still insanely strong. Sue was the only F4 that could do anything to him because she manipulates light & she died forcing him into the teleporter. And even then he would’ve successfully came back if it wasn’t for Shalla-Bal
Jet-Let46062025-12-06 00:55
I have no issue with Sue pushing Galactus. She cracked a Celestial armour in the comics after all.
I just wish they delved deeper into Galactus character.

Surely it has to be an uncommon one IMO. There are, what, 35-40 MCU movies? And most would consider IW and Endgame in the top spots. So that leaves 1 spot for all the other movies? Iron Man, Deadpool, Spiderman, Guardians, Avengers, Civil War, Thors... I would struggle thinking most people considered F4 taking one of those top 3 spots.
Obviously, totally respect your opinion and ranking. But I would consider it to most likely be an outlier.

Sue Storm cracked a Celestial shell in the comics because her forcefields have a latent cosmic property to them.
Movie Sue Storm died from the strain of pushing Galactus.
If anything they nerfed Sue.
AlleRacing2025-12-05 23:51
Galactus' power level in the comics is hugely variable, usually linked to how hungry/sated he is. Fully sated, he might be just about on par with the Abstracts, starving, maybe Thanos can sucker punch him, middling, maybe a trio of Celestials can give him a what for.
