Today I learned that...Galacticus's shape *did* appear in the Fantastic Four movie...?

I never saw the first Fantastic Four...but did go to see the second one..

The guy who played Johnny Storm just annoyed me - he was much better in the subsequent Captain America... but at the very end... I was pret-ty sure that we never saw the Galacticus of the comics, only a shapeless void, when the Silver Surfer flies up to sacrifice himself so the earth might live.

I just tuned in to it at the very last where the Surfer is up there, absorbing Galacticus' energy, and there in the void was the face, the helmet, etc... just for a second.

I"ll have to research that... did t hey put it in in the "extended" cut, or was it always there and I just never noticed before because I really, really didn't care for the movie?

The movie makers kind of wimped out...I guess they didn't see how they could create a formidable Galactus that wouldn't look silly, trading philosophical talk with the Silver Surfer, but I think the movie would've been a helluva lot better if they'd figured out how to do that.
