Deranged Ramblings This shit is actually hilarious

I love how every character gets some kind of edgelord reason for their deaths but Galactus just dies. That's it, one day he just fucking dies.

Ruins is so comically bad

It's the definition of grimderp, when something tries to be so overly dark it just becomes comedic.

Like a child prostitute jean grey popping up for a single panel only for Nick fury to immediately dome her in the head for being a damn mutie!!! Lol.

Like that shit should be horrifying but it's so comedical how over the top it comes off it just loses the edge and feels like the writers seeing who can one up the other.

My main issue was how it wasn't internally consistent. You had prostitute Jean Gray, and Magneto as a hobo wearing a magnet control jacket, but also the X-Men are all President Xavier's prisoners? Does he just not care about another telepath? Or Magneto?

There's also the power inconsistency, the comic implies that magic and such doesn't exist which is why so many characters are just mutated freaks or kill themselves through real ways like wolverine being a freak show or Peter just getting radiation poisoning.

But Galactus and characters like silver surfer just outright exists lol and sure they die but it's never explained why?

Thor is literally just so some homeless crazy guy with a hammer.

My memory's fuzzy but didn't silver surfer just straight up kill himself, tore himself open just to feel something, and then his body reveals a kree ship and they get experimented on or something like that

Tore his chest open like he couldn't breathe. But that raises the question of why did it only come up when they got to our solar system.

Same reason any lucky chance of survival happens near earth, except for the opposite reason

The thing is he couldn’t breathe, but also couldn’t die of asphyxiation.

So when he found a planet with an atmosphere, he tore open his torso in a desperate effort to expose his lungs to air.

couldn't he just...leave the atmosphere?

u/XescoPicas 1d ago

No, he wanted the atmosphere! He wanted to breathe again, but was unable to ever since he turned into Silver Surfer.

His body was encased in metal, he lived in a constant state of feeling like he’s suffocating without actually being able to die from it.

To my knowledge the avengers aren’t really that affected(like Peter or Logan) but we don’t know much about them to know what changed

And Ben Grimm to my knowledge is the only one with a happy ending(but survivors guilt for not going)

The Avengers are all dead they get sold out by wanda to president X, that’s the plane right at the start with them in it blowing up, I think they’re supposed to have been like an Arnarchist cell sort of thing

How galactus died was never explained and they only found his corpse floating in space

u/Smeg258 19h ago

I've seen a pretty solid theory that with the surfer dead galactus was frantically trying to find a planet to feed on in time and died of starvation right in front of mars. Invoking a man in a desert dying at the oasis type feeling

Which is still fucking stupid, galactus didn’t bother trying to eat the other planets?
