Strange cast a similar spell on him in the same battle where Thing finished him off.Ghost Rider also took down Galactus with his Penance Stare, forcing him to relive the pain and terror of all the countless people who's planets he devoured.
Hilariously, when Ghost Rider tried to do the same to the Punisher, Frank completely no-sells it. Because Castle feels absolutely no guilt about the scum he kills.
Well, I can tell you which version of Galactus I did not want to see on screen: the one who is stupid and weak.
Very fair. Another perspective could be that he was mostly concerned with kidnapping the creepy cgi baby and didn't want to risk hurting it by going full-Galactus. Never go full-Galactus
If the audience needs to put work in to find interpretations that make the movie less shitty, it's a failed movie.
I don't think it's a failed movie but I do agree that just the few post I've seen above have way better explanations that could have been tied into the movie to explain Galactus going down so easily. Like he skipped feeding in order to get the kid quicker and got too weak.
I think it's a failed movie. That ending was so stupid, I have no real interest in anything Marvel does next. And I started this thing as a huge Marvel fanboy.
True, but far from a failed movie, imo
Meh. Its box office was extremely front-loaded, which seems to indicate Marvel fans saw it and the general audience wasn't interested. Its ending was so stupid that I'm not really interested in what they do next. Everyone I know who saw both movies praises Superman and doesn't have much good to say about FF.
Box office failure, yeah probably. Esp to Marvel execs, but from a movie goer perspective it had too many good things about it for me to consider it a failure
Yes, it's true. That's why I said in my reply that if they decided to show RDJ's face in the post-credits, that would have cost much much more.
I've heard RDJ has been acting very Karen the Diva on set. Sounds like he got way to much influence on the character (if we're to believe the rumors)
Maybe. The rule of thumb is ~2.5x budget, which for the reported $200mil for FF:FS is $500mil. But there's a lot of moving parts and its impossible to know for sure what the actual break even point is. So the film may have covered costs, but it could still be in the hole and actually need 3x budget (not uncommon for movies with big advertising budgets, which are additional costs on top of production). What it comes down to is that, if it did make money, it won't be a lot. Its got maybe another ~$25mil left in the tank domestically, probably a bit less than that internationally. So it won't hit the 3x mark, more like 2.75x.
