No one changed anything about it, the story, the designs, the powers. Everyone looks like they should be.

What are you pointing out?

Galactus wields the Power Cosmic and can employ it to produce nearly any effect he desires, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter,[58][59][60] the teleportation of objects — even an entire galaxy[61] — across space [62] or time,[63] size-alteration,[61] the projection of energy with indeterminable destructive force,[64] the erection of nearly impenetrable force fields,[58] the creation of interdimensional[65] and intra-dimensional portals,[66] telepathy,[67] telekinesis,[68] pyrokinesis,[69], a form of cosmic awareness.[70]



Galactus in the film was not galactus...it was his manipulation of the space and time and molecular galaxy...he controls all of that...from far away.

Wikipedia is a lame sauce of information

EDIT: That's from the film not the comics

and yes I know it says sauce

The fact that they were holding back the reveal of Galactus in his traditional form for the spin-off. Also the image to the right of the paragraph is kind of relevant as you can make out Galactus' helmet from within the cloud.

Yes, you can make out an outline of Galactus' helmet, which is in the middle of a cosmic cloud which they chose to portray Galactus as. All I'm saying is that the film DIDN'T portray all characters as accurately as the OP says. I understand it would have been difficult to portray a giant purple man as a serious threat, and the reasons behind the changes however. I also think it was a good idea to tone back on Doom's sorcerer ways, which would be hard to fit in with the rest of the film and it's scientific tone (but I stand by my view they miscast him, but I feel the actor did the best with what he had). I too would love to see a sequel to the original two, but unfortunately Fox have to reboot it. They might set up a Silver Surfer / Galactus side movie for the upcoming ones though, now that they are familiar with spin-off films and such for their franchises, with X-Men having at least four films in production as we speak. I'd rather they give up on the Fantastic Four reboot and let it die though. Let the Four return to Marvel, where they can make an excellent movie, and do Doom right, where he might be a big bad villain for the entire Marvel Universe like in so many previous Marvel stories.
