I confess that I feel Galactus has been so overused and been so unsuccessful in any plan involving Earth that he's lost a lot of his impact. (a bit like Steven Moffatt's comments about the Cybermen)

Still has a great visual of course, but we know from the outset he's NOT going to be able to consume Earth THIS time any more than he has the other dozen times he's shown up (and since swearing not to consume Earth in his first appearance) so what is the point?

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Even his expression in that pic seems kinda bored or resigned.

"Here we go again..."

[wtfomfg2]

Something about his face is making me wonder if this could actually be a warning rather than a threat.

[rocketlindy]

I read it as a warning--he looks like he has something he has to tell those tiny guys on the edge of the crater, not like he's about to make a snack of them... or uh... step... on them (yeah, not really up on my Galactus-tactics.)

[nomadicwriter]

Yep. F4 #600 is a continuation of the current FF storyline, and given that the Council of Reeds are planning to create something called Sol's Anvil that requires a geothermal vent in the Antarctic and a dynamo under the surface of the moon, I'm pretty sure Galactus is talking about that destroying the world rather than threatening to do it himself. From his point of view, hey, if somebody else breaks open a planet for him, free lunch! Good enough reason to hang around and see what happens.

I always thought it would be fun, as the starting premise for a superhero RPG campaign, to have Galactus destroy the Earth and then do a Battlestar Galactica thing with what's left of the human race slowly being shepherded through various alien and hostile territories by the heroes who managed to survive.

(Alternatively, to use Lila Cheney's Dyson Sphere as a refuge for as many people as could get away in the last few hours.)

Because, yeah, he's got no impact any more given Marvel's aversion to changing the status quo in the slighest.

[salinea]

That would make a great fanfic or rpg campaign, yeah. Very intriguing premise ^^

[sherkahn]

Right now, it's like he's sleeping over at the Watcher's couch on the moon, he is there so often.

[nezchan]

Eh, he's in town doing publicity for Marvel vs. Capcom this week. Gotta hang with your bros when you're in town, right?

[auggie18]

Maybe he's just gonna consume Dallas.

[drmcninja]

Yep, hands down. You can only play the planet-eater card so many times before he gets talked off it by Reed. Does anybody actually expect something to happen here?

Its why cosmic worked so much better. No connections. Galactus could be what they try and say he is.
