Director Tim Story, currently promoting the DVD release of his "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," recently told Screen Rant his excuse for not showing more of galactic devourer Galactus in the film.

In the comics the planet devouring force of nature is depicted as a gigantic humanoid with signature purple armor and helmet. In 'Surfer' he was shown as a gigantic spatial cloud, though the shape of the helmet can be briefly glimpsed amidst a fire at the heart of the cloud in the big action sequence finale.

"We decided early on that we would not bring him to life completely as you might think of him in the comics, being a man with the suit and the helmet and everything else. One of the main reasons is because we always knew that there was going to be a Silver Surfer 1, or they were going to make a spin-off of the Silver Surfer. If I gave up everything in this movie, then that movie wouldn't have much to go on. Knowing that I wasn't going to do it that early, I wanted to keep it fairly open to interpretation by the director who would do that one. So the idea of the cloud and everything made pretty good sense to us."

Right now plans for a "Silver Surfer" film up in the air due to the possible impending strikes. At last report, "The Crow" helmer Alex Proyas was set to direct.

Technicly none of us have ever seen Galactus true form. Although Galactus is usually illustrated as a giant, armoured humanoid, each species perceives Galactus in a form resembling its own. As a being who is both an abstract entity and a physical creature, Galactus' true form and nature are beyond the capability of mortal beings to comprehend. He has, however, adopted the appearance of a roughly humanoid energy being on at least three occasions.

I hate Tim Story. And this uber stupid retcon of why he screwed up Galactus doesn't mean squat to me. Cloud or no cloud, the movie was bad. The power switching thing was 2 stoopid, Silver Surfer's power does not come from his board, etc etc

They should get a restraining order, that Tim "can't tell a" Story is not allowed within ten feet of any director's chair for life. MUCH LESS another Silver Surfer movie.

Yeah. I think Goblin has been played out, at least to the point where we don't want to see another one for several films.

I also agree that the Venom storyline was HORRIBLE in the film, and needs to be cut as a terrible loss of what COULD have been a wonderful story if it had just been done more subtlely and spanned several films like the Goblins' stories did.

As for the topic of this thread, I am not happy at all that they're even considering a Silver Surfer movie. They had their chance with that with FF2 and TOTALLY screwed it up.

Why? Galactus. HE IS NOT A @$#!ing CLOUD!!!

They didn't even bring in Uatu.

After screwing it up this much, I don't think they could make a Silver Surfer movie any better than Catwoman or Elektra.

Story is a moron.

If the Galactus I know and love from the comics ISN'T in FF3, than not only will I MURDER him, but I will hate FF2 and subsequently, FF3.

A freaking cloud?

Actually, that isn't exactly true...
In the second Surfer story in Fantastic Four, Doom takes away his board, giving Doom the powers of Silver Surfer and leaving Surfer almost powerless. He had to get the Fantastic Four to rescue his board to restore his powers.

That's true. But I have never heard a single mention of that anywhere else and I think it goes against the orthodox view of his powers which is the view that has evolved since then. For example it makes no mention of him needing the board to power up in his Marvel Universe entry (original entry with updated articles) nor is it mentioned here or here

You know in Wolverine's first appearance his claws could not penetrate The Hulk's skin. The reason for that was because at that time they did not have a clear definition of what adamantium was, and the character was brand new. So all characters do tend to evolve. It seems probable that after that story, the board as source of power thing was deleted from the Silver Surfer mythos.

I just wish the writers had done a bit more research and given us a vision of the Silver Surfer as we know him.

Actually Doom uses a device to steal the Power Cosmic from the Surfer, which in turn allows Doom to control the surf board. Reed had to create another machine which drained the Power Cosmic from him and lured him towards space. Because of Galactus' coninfinment to Earth on the Surfer it caused the Power Cosmic to leave Doom and return to the Surfer.

Annihilation goes into more depth of how the Power Cosmic is granted to Galactus' heralds. By applying it to life forms the Power Cosmic replaces a persons own life force/aura/soul which can then draw upon more of the cosmic power from outside the body.

I'd rather them have the Galactus we all know and love be in the Silver Surfer movie, which is rumoured to be a sequel to FF2 anyways. There wouldn't be much need as far as I'm concerned to have him in FF3, unless it was totally going to blow us away. Bring on a new villain for FF3!!
