Because Galactus is the only villain the Avengers ever fought. Ever. They've never battled any other credible threat. No international terrorist organizations or anything.
Actually, uh, I kinda want a Galactus major role/cameo as well...I mean, come on! The Cosmic Cube will most likely play a major part in The Avengers so...you know, time to make some Earth-pot-pie to welcome the Big Muncher In The Sky.
Except that Galactus was in the Fantastic Four 2. And that may have tarnished any movie cred the big purple eater of celestial bodies had. Kang on the other hand
An Avengers movie without Galactus would be bad enough, but a Green Lantern movie without LEX LUTHOR? I'm sorry, but I have to call bullshit on that one!
It's rare the comments make me laugh as much as the comic itself. . .
Just the other day, televisionwithoutpity had a piece on alien monsters in movies that tore into the version of Galactus in the (terrible, awful, it goes without saying) Fantastic Four movies. And as much as Galactus was an important step, in my teenage years, toward replacing Mormonism as my default cosmological vision, I have to think a hundred-foot tall dude who looks like he's headed to the LGBT tent at Burning Man isn't ever really going to work on film.

ReplyDeleteMeh. It's a legitimate sentiment, I guess. It's no worse than thinking Batman movies with the Joker are better than those without, for example.
ReplyDeleteCaptain America better have Doc Ock in it, or I'm gonna be PISSED.
ReplyDeleteThe humor of this one really hinges on how legitimately and intensely hateful he sounded.

Fin Fang Foom Will Put You In His Pants!
I kinda like the way that the Avengers is looking more like the Ultimates, actually... what I'm irate about is that there's no Giant-Man or Wasp.

Don't make him angry, you won't like him when he's angry.
