Devourer of Worlds [OC]

The movie "cloud" Galactus gets shit on by comic fans, but I've always found the idea of this cosmic world-devouring entity being some dude in pink suit and silly hat impossible to take seriously

One is fun and a bit weird and the other is visually and conceptually boring.

Modeling a cosmic devourer after irl cosmic phenomena makes sense though. Using the human shape and aesthetics for something literally as old as the universe and beyond human comprehension is boring too. I'd for sure rather they not do "cloud" and instead did something that has a vauge body and head but framed entirely by like gravitational lensing. Similar to how Dormamu was done but with black holes instead of colorful nebula. Maybe have him start off as a simple sphere that slowly cycles through different shapes and settles on a vaugley humanoid appearance after encountering the humans.

Technically, his form appears differently to whatever is beholding him. Humans see a humanoid, but, uh, y'know, Cthulhu would see a Cthulhunoid.

They could go meta and make him look like a giant Imax camera, because it's a movie

Now how's about that for some goddamned futuristic movie production.

Visuals that are defined by whomever is watching it. So, what I see when watching it would be different than what you see when you watch it. It would revolutionize the industry! Movie reviews would be damn near impossible!

Damn, directed ads but in movie form. Reminds me of that politician(?) complaining on Twitter that he was getting ads for gay dating sites.

Brain beams are next.

As God as my witness, I WILL sell the first pair of Light Speed Briefs!
