I think I've heard it was meant to be a mix of Thomas Jefferson and Miles Davis, and Bendis was just wildly ignorant of most of thr players in the Civil War.

I genuinely can't remember if there was ever a time where they explained that Miles had his mom's last name as a compromise position because Jefferson Davis wanted to name his son Miles Davis and she was like "oh my, no" or what

Yes, he changed it to Jeff Morales in universe to get rid of that dumb name and to get away from his SHIELD past.

God, I can't wait for a proper Galactus. If they do it right, it's gonna rule. Big "if," though. They have to know what people are demanding, right? We're absolutely not gonna be satisfied with anything less than an extremely silly giant space man who eats planets. I'm almost glad for that terrible second Tim Story movie because they'll know they can't get away with a loving cloud again.

It's kind odd. His recent tweets are about anti-racism, lgbtq+ and feminism. The ones he is being cancelled for are from 2017. He is also being cancelled for saying puto and curses in spanish.

There's also that thing about being friends with an ETA guy.

Unless he is cleaning his act. Who knows. :shrug: I dont follow this actor tbh

I think he has been already hired by the mouse but no one knows for what.

Can we get away with a CGI Galactus? I mean, because I want Michael Ironside to do the voice, but I think his back is still hosed up to the point that he's not acting much anymore.

As for the fantastic four, are we looking at a young (college age) group, so we can get their origin story, and have them be just a bit older than Peter, or are we looking a bit more middle aged, Sue is already married to Reed kind of age range?

Fair point, but I was thinking more "all CGI" and less "motion capture". Like more Dormamu from Dr. Strange. Yeah, that is a face and it might have been modeled against a person, but I don't think it looks like the guy who did the voice.

It depends on how you want to go with the character, I'd think. If he's an unknowable, inhuman cosmic force and 90% of the character work comes from the Silver Surfer, then yeah, CGI him to lean into the uncanny valley, where he's very obviously a giant wrong thing wearing a human face like a poorly fitting mask. But if you want him to be a character, mocap it.

P.S. Dormammu was 100% mocap from a specific person, it was Cumberbatch.

Just make Galactus human-sized for scenes where he has dialogue and martial arts scenes with the heroes, then when it's time to embiggen Rita Repulsa will scream "make my monster grow!" and we'll get a shot of Galactus behind a mountain, towering over it.

I don't see any reason his face can't be a performance captured face like Thanoman's was?
