I made a Galactus Respect Thread. Take a look.
http://herochat.com/forum/index.php/topic,144535.0.html

The great mojarity of that stuff is already in the other Galactus respect thread on this forum.


Your thread is just more organized.

Meh, the other one is for Big G and also a couple heralds (Morg I think).

I'll just include both.

Nice thread Darkcrawler but I believe the other one has more feats ore a missing some that you have, so actually its great they fill out each other perfectly

Does anyone have the famous galaxy teleportation scan?

Have talked with Guy he is working on finding it he believes he has the comic.

Awesome, i never read nor seen that feat.

I have read it once but a long time ago so cannot remember if it actually happend ore it was a reference.

We could do a bigger Galactus respect thread if some people are into it. But I don't know, anyone else interested?

Sucks cause alot of his recent feats are in the other G thread.

I think what Bentley means is making a new organised thread a bit ala the one Groober made for Surfer, you know everything organised.

Yep, to use the scans already uploaded and to look for other showings. Don't know, its easier to look for feats if you divide the issues he appears on. It would take time but it doesn't have to be done inmediatelly.

Not sure why you guys feel the need to make a new one when there's already a great one that DC made (link in the first post). Big G isn't in need of a makeover, imo. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.

It's access restricted. Herochat really is full of snobs.

Not everyone has access to Herochat I'm afraid. That on itself can be a reason to try to make one here. If no one is interested though...

how would it be reorganized? i'd be interested but i don't feel like helping to move my scans from the other one to a new one ha ha.

Make it

Well, we should do a division of some sort, but I think we could only choose a good one by knowing the scans we have collected. Something basic would be:


- Offensive abilities (from psychic power, to energy blasts, using different energies, etc.)
- Non offensive powers (for transmutation, passing powers, cosmic awareness and others).
- Fights.
- Respect (his part in the hierarchy, statements about his power).
- Alternate realities (if there are many scans we can split this into other sections).

Another question would be if we are willing to dig up issues to complete the respect thread or if we are just going to use things already posted or uploaded.

What would you say?

If it was up to me I would look for the books to find the feats, I find it gives you more knowledge about the character and is overall more reliably to give feats. However, I often try to get feats from different characters to see if I ever want to make respect threads for them.

To say the least it would take me some time to complete a respect thread for Galan by myself.

I'm in agreement with that. For my scans, I usually post the pages that come before/after the actual feat showcased to provide a more complete picture/context.

Here are scans I have
Almost All of Sufrer's regular series (missing a few annuals)
All of Thanos' appearances
various FF issues
Galactus-related appearences in IG and Infinity War sagas
Galactus Origin
Some old Thor comics
Various what-if (what if galactus fought the avengers, what if thor became herald of galactus, what if SS didn't betray Galactus, etc.)
Recent appearences of note (Annihilation, Nova, 1985, fantastic four)

Though bran has a lot of the scans in general. ask him.

I have alot of galactus stuff. If a new thread on him is being made i cud contribute some stuff. Lord knows he needs some more respect on here.

Well, I'm going to see around for comic book appearances and post them here later on (issue numbers, book, etc.), to see exactly how much we have already uploaded and how much isn't.

According to Comicvine there are 300+ comic in which Galactus appears, here a link with the issue numbers -this is no exact science, since at times there are alternate Galactuses, cameos, reprints and errors-; so the idea is to dismiss as much issues with useless showings as possible and see how many uncovered issues remain.

http://www.comicvine.com/galactus/29-2149/issues_cover/?sort=-volume__name

I'll comeback and try to dissect this later -sadly my computer just died, so it will take some time to get it back on its feet-, comments and suggestions will be heard.

Reporting back: I already contacted Bran, and I'm going to sink myself into reading all the Galactus issues in FF and Silver Surfer, that means, the following ones:

If you have any of the issues above already, you can mention it so I search less.

Tenebrous if you can take care of the Annihilation, Infinity War and Thanos showings -and others that you may have lying around-, it will be great. Ultimate Thor and Ugrita, feel free to pick any other part of the showings to look for feats.

I'll make a imageshack account later to upload -things not already uploaded-. I'll PM to you if you are interested.

I have all his silver surfer appearances and some of his FF appearances as well+a few thors and Dr stange ones. I'll see what i can find

I also have all the SS appearences. So Bentley I do not believe you need to pour over those as thor and I seem to have all of them...unless of course you want to read them.

Also, are we making a new thread...this thread and the one bran made are cluttered in the fact that this thread is mostly discussion, while bran's occasionally has people comming in and disupting feats/debating. I think we should just make a new thread and start with scans right away, one big scan showing G in full profile, then more thumbnail scans in rapid succession. I could make the new thread if so. I believe Digi (or another mod, can't remember who) gave somewhat implicit approval.

I agree with Tenebrous

Agreed in both accounts. If we post all the feats in a thread already it can be done progressively and if we ever want to order them somehow we would have them uploaded and stocked already.

Well, if you have all those issues, I will wait on information of the issues no one has already to check them on.

Make sure to put this Up

And when are you guys doing this?

Really that is such a stupid fight scene. Galactus having to actually dodge High evolutionaries blast and then one shotting him.

We could put this in reaction speed

I don't possess most of the scans, so is up to Tenebrous and Ultimate Thor to put up the thread. I'll dig scans from the other respect thread to help build them. Its just a matter of not having people posting on it for a while so we can upload a bunch of scans at the start.

That Galactus respect thread, set the bar for a vary high standard. My respect goes to DC, I am vary much impressed.

how is it going to be organized? I.e., do we have scans showing his origin first, then his place in the MU, then feats, etc.?

Originally posted by Tenebrous

Yeah i have the same question

Okay, lets do this: We will use this division already stated. And then we will pick from 15 to 20 feats in each category (fights will take more posts) and post them (feats can be described in more than one scan). The idea is to pick the most interesting feats for the beginning, fill the sections and from there we can show the other feats in other posts -it would take too much time to put most of the feats ordered-.

I suggest this sections:

- Story, bios, powers, explanations and statements about the characters.
- Offensive abilities (from psychic power, to energy blasts, using different energies, etc.)
- Non offensive powers (for transmutation, passing powers, cosmic awareness and others).
- Fights.
- Respect (his part in the hierarchy, statements about his power, references to fights off panel).
- Alternate realities (if there are many scans we can split this into other sections).

Before starting to post we can discuss which showings are a must include in each part, and once we build it we get the link together, we give them some format and we upload them at once.

If you want during the discussion about which feats should be posted at the start you can show the scans, that will give us the upload address to build the thread later and will be useful to discuss the feat (this is still a respect thread, I think that uploading and discussing feats is in order).

Thoughts?

Edit: Also, we could pick some badass pictures just for show, in case you have a favorite depiction or artist.

I would recommend using Nova 14's Galactus spread by Wellington Alves as the opening full image for the thread. It's how I've always viewed Galactus in my mind..


...what is "the division already stated" as you mention?

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/leunames/Galactus/th_nova13dcp026ok7.jpg

Pretty much I showed in the post, it can be contested of course.

Wouldn't the respect part pretty much fall under the first part Bentley?

I thought so too at first, but I think that the first part would be more playing with the definition of the character, trying to explain his history, his powerset and his part in the hierarchy (this last part could entirely go to the Respect part, if the first was too long, otherwise it would stay here).

In the respect part I was thinking more on the lines of how powerful he is, not just what power he has. You know, things like destroying galaxies while battling with Tyrant and the like. Also it could show scans such as when Galactus speaks to the LT or to Eternity, which defines his hierarchy but doesn't quite looks as a factual thing. I mean, at the beginning it should really be about the character's history and definition; in the respect part we could go more in detail about the degree of his powers.

That's how I see it, maybe Respect is a weird name for such part, or maybe its not needed. I would like to know what the others think.

Speaking of which, Galactus doesn't get the respect he deserves. The way it should always go is Galactus > all except LT and Eternity. That's how Marvel should always have written it. This guy shouldn't be a stepping-stone. Everyone else should be HIS stepping-stone.

One scan for laughs:

So whats the progress?

How does Galactus only have a 3 page respect thread?

Well ive have a lot of stuff uploaded to photobucket but ive got finals so so its kinda hard to juggle the two. Hopefully ill try and get some more work done next week.

. Mad props man. This has eased the workload immensely.

word. now who's gonna start the thread since we pretty much have all the scans with bran's photobucket.

Thanks.

Today I uploaded anything that I might have possibly missed... including the three issues I didn't go through. I don't know of anything that I could look for feats in now (except for non-canon stuff I purposely left out...).

That's just branlicious.

Good job.

Currently I have started to word Bran's scans, but sadly I'm going to be somehow taken until late January at the very least. If anybody feels like wording the feats and getting them together I can give them format later on, if not, it will just take more time.

Okay, three things about the respect thread:

- If anyone knows any interesting or impressive non-canon appearance of Galactus, its a good moment to bring it to the table (they will be uploaded as non canon).
- I will be following an organization more or less analogous to those in Bran's scans, though I will bind together some minor parts to balance one and another.
- Regarding the format of the thread: Thumbnails, links or a combination of both?

Links. Some people have slow computers or internet and too many images will make it inaccessible.

Thumbnails. Links require each one to be clicked to view, whereas thumbnails, you can pick and choose. Links are too bland and quite frankly clicking each link trying to find that one scan that interests you is very irritating.

Fanastic Four 559 - 561
Earth X X
Fanastic Four 337 - 341
Marvel 1885 6 (although It might be canon, meh)
Silver Surfer Requiem 4
Bullet Points 5... ish
Fantastic Four: The End
Last Planet Standing
Hercules Prince of Power - the first mini (speculated to be non-canon... might be the second one that's actually non-canon)
Fantastic Four 389 - 391

Then there's the crossover of Darkseid, Superman, and a couple What-Ifs. And of course, Herald Aunt May (Marvel Team-Up 137).

Galactus deserve respect!

Is it true that Galactus is now full? As in fully powered for the first time?

Apparently that's what is happening in the pages of Skaar: Son of Hulk.

I haven't read the issues myself, but that's what some people are talking about over at CBR. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If it's true, then Galactus deserves major respect...but I wonder how long it will last.

No, I think it was stated that if he ate Sakaar the Old Power would make him addicted to it and he would consume all the planets in the universe

Actually, Skaar wanted to use his control over the old power to focus all similar powers from other planets and make Galactus an addict, but he never did it. In the end her mother gave only her old power to Galactus which will sate him (according to Surfer) for 1000 years.

So the Revamp Galactus thread is canceled I presume?

We prefer the term "indefinitely postponed"

I'm moving out of the country in June and my girlfriend is having a surgery tomorrow so I feel excused in advance


I haven't quite given up on finishing it, the when its the problem.

The URL in the first post is not working. So, there is no respect for Galactus on this forum?

There is plenty of respect, see link below. That is what we have (until Bentley gets done at some point in the future, next year (again again) perhaps)

Unless Bentley has any objections.

I'm back now for at least a week, and I already had three sections done before I left.

I did want to wait till the next FF comes out in 5 days, though.
