There was a Marvel story which explained that Galactus fed on sentient sustaining planets because they held a celestial egg at the core and he's actually partly culling celestials from over-running the universe...I like him as a character would love to see him in phase 4 or 5 of MCU
That would make more sense if his armor wasn't so absurd and, by design, meant to contain his cosmic level energy from making him a borderline Big Bang level bomb.
@@dmitriylevitskiy1674 1) I said for those wondering...and 2) it's for those that want instant gratification and want the answer to the title. 3) I never watched 4) your mom
You mean “When there doth be a suggested minimum as to the amount of words one should use upon writing said person’s paper intended to offer a quick explanation of a subject.”? 🙂
Thats the problem with characters that are too strong. You either have to nerf them, or find some unrealistic way to defeat them. Or I guess invent some really bad weakness you can exploit. But it never ends up being good writing regardless.
yeah nah he was always more powerful than apocalypse , its just that apocalypse was down to earth more, he was at mans level and made him more current.
the amount of important info left out about Galactus, his place in the the hierarchy of cosmic beings, and his true role in sustaining reality is mind boggling
I just wanna point out that he doesn’t need planets with sentient life, that’s why the Silver Surfer and some of the other heralds were created, to help big G find planets suitable for consumption, the fact that they occasionally had sentient beings occupying them was incidental. Galactus created the heralds to save lives by warning and ushering the native inhabitants off world before he even got there.
Yes and no. The world's he eats usually have celestial eggs in them (unless that retconned, who knows), and those _typically_ (usually always) form sentient life on them. So the worlds he targets almost always have civilizations on them, since those have developed enough for him to decide to target.
You should do Classic doctor strange???? who is by far my favorite character. They really messed him up completely and could of had the greatest magic/horror/rated R/comic book experience for adults. Classic doctor strange not only was immensely powerful but went on incredible adventures where he had to balance a lot of cause and effect choices. I have met the original inkers from classic strange and bought many prints of the work.
You must be talking about MCU galactus when u said he'd beat thanos with the gauntlet, thanos beat him along with all the other godlike beings and the celestial with the gauntlet, that was like his original coming out party in the infinity gauntlet series
Unicron is a planet. I'm guessing, maybe, roughly Earth size, right? You can fit 330,000 Earth's into our Sun. Our sun is just a star. A regular, old star, average size. Galactus has the power of multiple galaxies. A galaxy, on average, has 100 Billion stars. That's 100,000,000,000 written out. So.... Unicron is not even a fart in hurricane compared to Galactus. Unicron is the lice that rides on top of the flea that is biting the elephant that is Galactus on the butt. Actually, at 100,000,000,000 multiplied by roughly 330,000, times "several galaxies", that would make Galactus over a 100 TRILLION TIMES MORE POWER. So that's more then 100,000,000,000,000 more power. So Unicron is something like a molecule, inside a bacteria, on the outside of the shell of a lice, that is riding a flea, that is in the feathers of a seagull, that has just landed on top of the largest WHALE in the world. Can you now grasp how much less Unicron is then Galactus?
@@MaxSMoke777 You know that both of these are fictional characters, right? what's to say, seeing as they are both made up by some clever writers, that the rules that you are steadfast holding on to, could be rewritten, so that my theory could also be true? If you know anything about Transformers (which I guess you don't) You will know that Unicron is a multidimensional being. Yes, he is a planet, but he is a carnivorous planet that appears in more than one dimension at the same time. There are (according to the comics and TV series) literally infinite versions of Unicron, and all of them are the same, but they are also slightly different to each other too, but they share a conciseness. So, by destroying one, others can take its place. And what's to say that Unicron is not another version of these? They both devour planets, do they not?
Cool idea, though from what I remember(may not be canon anymore) but at one point Unicron was a singularity across every universe. The same character and consciousness no matter the appearance
His planet was dying at the end of his universe/multi verse and in a last ditch effort to save them he used something akin to the Phoenix force but shit went side ways, planet was destroyed and he became a slave to his hunger when he woke in an unknown place. I also think currently it was the black winter or something like that in recent comics he was running from. He once was galan of Taa.
In my opinion, Galactus definitely doesn't inherently have bones skin and blood. He definitely only had it during the fight with Thor because he changed his physiology into that of a human. If he went to Klyntar and took the physiological form of a symbiote i'm sure he'd also have the weaknesses to fire and sound in that form the same way he has bones that can be broken when he's in human form. I always thought it was pretty explicitly stated that he's essentially just a huge mass of cosmic energy. I doubt he'd secretly have bones and blood. That'd just open the door to him being able to have blood, bone and skin born illnesses which he just doesn't get, assumedly bc he's all energy. if/when we get real confirmation that he does i will be back to apologize.
He does not have a physical form. Marvel explained that he is in fact a cosmic abstract being. Thats how he meets with the living tribunal, master order and chaos, eternity etc.
@@tango4785 yup, after the phoenix merged or more like made it possible for eternity and Galan to merge he ceased to exist as humanoid and became a cosmic entity. when the phoenix re-created creation in the current multi-verse.
That art for Galacta was ATROCIOUS. No wonder it was a limited release. It had no power to it. It looked like someone’s halfway attempt at an American comic/Manga combo.
A bit disappointed in the omission that in comics, Galactus only consumes worlds that are housing unborn Celestials. He is a form of birth control to limit their numbers and probably why he can fight and consume them.
I do hate that folks keep calling him a villain when he does what he does to survive. Granted, he does this with complete neutrality but definitely not with ill intentions or overt aggression.
@@BrenzOTnT That's another greater reasoning, considering how overt arrogant Celestials are and don't really show, if any, remorse to mortal beings. Galactus is honestly doing them a favor, not just surviving.

Marvel did convey galactus on big screen in FF2 rise of silver surfer..he was seen as cosmic dust and tentacles and silver surfer referred to himself as a servant of a larger master ...
Galactus actual size would be SOOOOOOO OOOO much waaaaayyyy bigger than they ever show him in the comics. The entire earth wo ld be like the size of his eye ball. He would be millions of miles tall....
I like the continuity where they revealed that Galactus’s insulation was incomplete and that the hunger he felt was actually a different of his incomplete incubation. After going back into incubation he emerged as “Perfect Galactus” and no longer needed to destroy worlds to survive.
What people don't seem to understand, after all these years, is that Galactus isn't *evil* , he's not a bad guy. He consumes planets because otherwise he dies, and according to many "marvel gods" - Galactus must continue to exist because he is an important piece of the chessboard that is the universe. When the FF4 with the Avengers was close to killing Galactus, Reed Richards was approached by these gods in a psycic vision, they showed him that Galactus was too important to kill - and thus , Reed Richards persuaded the rest of the heroes to spare Galactus. I even recall that Reed Richards built a machine that could feed Galactus the energy he needed, thus making him not having to eat planets.
Thanos not only beat Galactus, Eon and the Stranger, but also in addition against Mephisto, Death, Love, Hate, One Above All (Celestial), Ziran the Tester, Kronos, Master Order, Lord Chaos, when they all attacked Thanos together all at once, after Thanos was betrayed by Death. These channels don't do proper research, considering the IG event was one of the biggest and well loved in Marvel comics.
@@alanguages i might be wrong but didn't the mad celestials kill Galactus too? Thanos bodied the whole celestial pantheon and essentially everyone of note in the universe, in probably one of the most popular marvel storylines ever written, so I really cant take this guy's research seriously.
@@alanguages There are several debates about its nature, but the TOAA is a representation of the writer’s will. As in, the writer who writes the comic from our real world. So whatever happens in any Marvel-related media canonically happens because TOAA wills/allows it. Thanos absorbing it happens because it allowed it, and had it served the story, it would have taken away all the powers that Thanos thought he had acquired. It didn’t because TOAA exists outside of the concept of time and was already aware of how the story would play out (since the writer was) and just played along, even if the canon may contradict this. TOAA is an entity that cannot be defeated by any force originating from the comic universe. A writer can have Aunt May beat it to a pulp with a baseball bat, but unless Aunt May walks right out of the comic into the real world with a baseball bat to beat the shit out of the Marvel staff (which would raise a whole different set of questions), then this will not be an instance of Aunt May beating TOAA.
I hope the mcu gets thanos level cgi for galactus when they finally do him. I really want to get that sweet spot of suspension of disbelief so we can all get absorbed in our childhood daydreams in live action.
There is one question Id really like to know the answer of that I think the video should adress in an update. I would like to know how often does Galactus need to eat ? Once a year ? Once a month .. its never been specified ... I understand that he is always hungry but theres got to be a time when he is sated .. even for a day or so. Any ideas ?
In one particular comic book it was established that one to two planets a month would just barely sustain him from going mad with hunger. Now the key word is (sustain), take us for example (humans) we can be starving for close to a week and a tiny sandwich could probably keep us from dying from hunger, however we could probably eat a bakers dozen (13) worth of sandwiches or more. The key thing about the big G is the reason why he's always hungry and never satisfied is he could probably eat a couple of dozen or more planets. And in marvel comics I don't think it's ever been established if he's ever been full/sustained truly because there's never been a universe with that many planets close to each other. Now I might be wrong cause I'm sure there's bunches of comics that I've never read, and I'm sure there's plenty of comic nerds out there that's way more informed than me. But anyway, I hope that gives you somewhat of an answer to your question. And believe it or not there's a whole lot of people that's asked that same question over the years, me including.
This video needs some serious editing about Galactus, half the stories presented here are wrong and the "The Trial of Read Richards" sums up what Galactus is and why he is needed in the universe.
It was mentioned that Galactus is vulnerable to certain forms of magic...At one point (during the same story-arc in which Reed Richards saved Galactus' life) Dr. Strange used a magic spell on Galactus that caused him to remember & feel the deaths of every single being that Galactus had devoured over the course of time...Simultaneously. Strange used that spell when Galactus was otherwise attending to other super-beings that were attacking him physically (yeah, pretty useless but still potentially distracting), so Galactus was caught off guard by the mental shock.
So he basically did a spell version of the penance stare on Galactus? It is a magical power and strange should be able to conjure it without ghost rider powers or maybe he gave himself ghost rider powers for the moment.
@@DeathBYDesign666 It should be noted that Galactus had just finished defending the Earth from a different threat. The only reason Galactus agreed to it was because Reed Richards rescinded the vow that kept Earth safe from Galactus' hunger. After Galactus saved the Earth, he was literally starving for energy & decided to consume Earth. That was when Earth's heroes had to fight him & when Dr. Strange used that spell. It's still not certain that the spell would have worked on Galactus if he was still at his normal strength/power level.
@@MidnightDStroyer Actually Galactus has been observed to by greatly proficient in the ability to control magical power, he had absorbed most of the dark Dimension before it caused a destabilizing of the laws of physics in which Galactus has control over through his power cosmic or whatever. He isn't as vulnerable to magic as he is susceptible to its influence on him, it can't actually hurt him otherwise. That was a cool story btw, we actually got to see a version of Galactus and dormammu merged together and it was badass honestly.
so he's like those blue gals from mass effect then. they are theorized to appear different to each race, so to maximize the potential for good mating stock. We see them as Humanoid because we play as a Human character.
In an old marvel zombie comics universe the zombies ate galatics and the watcher put their universe into an endless loop. So i am kinda surprised they left out his desth at the jaws of the zombies.
This should have been the mcu next big bad you set him up in eternals and being birthed from the skrull planet after the kre killed most of them: being in eternals they need a host planet full of life to be born galactus is born 0:01 underdeveloped and 0:01 hungers, then you set up silver surfer to build the stakes and establish how powerful G is. It still allows for the secret wars storyline
In the King Thanos story, Galactus teams up with ghost rider to fight against Thanos. Galactus head was cut off in one blast and his skull was made into a chair.
I was nevr a comic reader and I love all these videos and even reddit/quora threads that go more in depth (especially on Galactus and the Beyonder). But in this one near the beginning where he said that as the 6th MV was collapsing he was obsorbed into the "embodiment of the MV" but it was referred to as "fiery" which sounds more like the Phoenix Force than Enternity. Maybe its just me but it seems possible as the PF is the embodiment of all psionic energy that "does, ever has and ever will exist". I thought Eternity was the embodiment of time/existence? Can Galactus go toe to toe with the Tribunal though? And does he pre-date the Celestials?
I was 90% sure this was a computer generated voice, until it repeatedly said "Galaxtu-s-z-z" many times, exactly the same in a row" Now I'm 100% sure : p
I honestly used to own this very comic of Marvel that featured the birth of Galactus!! Honestly cannot find it because I lost it when I was a teenager at some point! damn!
Why do you use ai art when there’s literally thousands of amazing drawn images of galactus. I genuinely like your channel, your very informative and your editing is amazing it just bums me out to see you cheapen out when making the thumbnail
I almost stopped watching the video when it was stated that Thanos couldn’t beat Galactus even with the infinity stones. Then I rationalized. This video must be talking about the MCU Thanos. Because in the comics, Thanos slapped everybody while he had the Infinity Gems, except The One Above All & The Living Tribunal.
Galactus and I have the same name,I was about 10 when I found out Galactus real name was Galen!! And knowing the power he has...gave me alot of Mojo🤗 and motivation
It's really weird on depending on who tells the story Galactus is probably a 10 ten cosmic being capable of beating Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet Thanos took out most of the Cosmic beings including Galactus and Eternity I'm 44 years old and still read the original
There was a Marvel story which explained that Galactus fed on sentient sustaining planets because they held a celestial egg at the core and he's actually partly culling celestials from over-running the universe...I like him as a character would love to see him in phase 4 or 5 of MCU
More than likely, that's going to be part of the storyline they go with in order to tie Galactus to the Celestials in the MCU
In eternals....they get told Judgement shall come to earth...I don't think it's the incursions. I think it's Galactus.
Earth X is the story. And it's the best Marvel comic ever.
Seeing as we're in phase 5 now I'm thinking probably phase 6 or 7. But I hope it's sooner than later
Yes indeed
Galactus' greatest enemies today are marvel writers.
Even better: feminism!!

Thank You I basically just wrote the same premise
Yea especially that turd Hunger series that Jim Starlin wrote. That guy is so hard for Thanos its just painful to read.
just turned into a punching bag for any character to prove how strong they are

Jack Kirby did an origin of Galactus in an issue of Thor in late 1960s or early 1970s.
He can't be called as a Monster he was broken and also was forced to eat planets or would perish😢
0:38 That is patently false. Thanos beat Eon, the Stranger and Galactus at the same time quite easily with the gauntlet. IG#5
Thanos not only beat Galactus, Eon and the Stranger, but also in addition against Mephisto, Death, Love, Hate, One Above All (Celestial), Ziran the Tester, Kronos, Master Order, Lord Chaos, when they all attacked Thanos together all at once, after Thanos was betrayed by Death. These channels don't do proper research, considering the IG event was one of the biggest and well loved in Marvel comics.
@@alanguages i might be wrong but didn't the mad celestials kill Galactus too? Thanos bodied the whole celestial pantheon and essentially everyone of note in the universe, in probably one of the most popular marvel storylines ever written, so I really cant take this guy's research seriously.
@@alanguages There are several debates about its nature, but the TOAA is a representation of the writer’s will. As in, the writer who writes the comic from our real world. So whatever happens in any Marvel-related media canonically happens because TOAA wills/allows it. Thanos absorbing it happens because it allowed it, and had it served the story, it would have taken away all the powers that Thanos thought he had acquired. It didn’t because TOAA exists outside of the concept of time and was already aware of how the story would play out (since the writer was) and just played along, even if the canon may contradict this.
TOAA is an entity that cannot be defeated by any force originating from the comic universe. A writer can have Aunt May beat it to a pulp with a baseball bat, but unless Aunt May walks right out of the comic into the real world with a baseball bat to beat the shit out of the Marvel staff (which would raise a whole different set of questions), then this will not be an instance of Aunt May beating TOAA.
I remember in annihilation that Thanos help capture Galactus and attach him to a ship to us him as a weapon.
@@alanguages that was absolutely horrible writing and everyone wants to forget about it. So stupid it makes ppl sick to think about it.
Keep doing what you're doing i hope you get to 1K💜💜💜💜💜💜
Kinda stupid how he has all this power within him but still needs to eat
That's because he requires energy.
@@shawn092182 yeah but he’s full of energy
Im learning so much. That armor thing with Galactus is fascinating. Also Galacta seens like a fun read.
Cool stroy
Loved the Nerdsplaining
That's crazy though. Stan Lee really put Abraxes the Ancient Demon in Galactus' story.
I hope the mcu gets thanos level cgi for galactus when they finally do him. I really want to get that sweet spot of suspension of disbelief so we can all get absorbed in our childhood daydreams in live action.
Truly informative
This dude is the equivalent of a hangover after a night of heavy drinking
So the cosmic cloud makes more sense now.
There is one question Id really like to know the answer of that I think the video should adress in an update. I would like to know how often does Galactus need to eat ? Once a year ? Once a month .. its never been specified ... I understand that he is always hungry but theres got to be a time when he is sated .. even for a day or so. Any ideas ?
In one particular comic book it was established that one to two planets a month would just barely sustain him from going mad with hunger. Now the key word is (sustain), take us for example (humans) we can be starving for close to a week and a tiny sandwich could probably keep us from dying from hunger, however we could probably eat a bakers dozen (13) worth of sandwiches or more. The key thing about the big G is the reason why he's always hungry and never satisfied is he could probably eat a couple of dozen or more planets. And in marvel comics I don't think it's ever been established if he's ever been full/sustained truly because there's never been a universe with that many planets close to each other. Now I might be wrong cause I'm sure there's bunches of comics that I've never read, and I'm sure there's plenty of comic nerds out there that's way more informed than me. But anyway, I hope that gives you somewhat of an answer to your question. And believe it or not there's a whole lot of people that's asked that same question over the years, me including.
This video needs some serious editing about Galactus, half the stories presented here are wrong and the "The Trial of Read Richards" sums up what Galactus is and why he is needed in the universe.
I agree. Sounds like some one that doesn’t do research.
Ghost Rider one shot Galactus with a cosmic guilt trip.
It was mentioned that Galactus is vulnerable to certain forms of magic...At one point (during the same story-arc in which Reed Richards saved Galactus' life) Dr. Strange used a magic spell on Galactus that caused him to remember & feel the deaths of every single being that Galactus had devoured over the course of time...Simultaneously. Strange used that spell when Galactus was otherwise attending to other super-beings that were attacking him physically (yeah, pretty useless but still potentially distracting), so Galactus was caught off guard by the mental shock.
So he basically did a spell version of the penance stare on Galactus? It is a magical power and strange should be able to conjure it without ghost rider powers or maybe he gave himself ghost rider powers for the moment.
@@DeathBYDesign666 It should be noted that Galactus had just finished defending the Earth from a different threat. The only reason Galactus agreed to it was because Reed Richards rescinded the vow that kept Earth safe from Galactus' hunger. After Galactus saved the Earth, he was literally starving for energy & decided to consume Earth. That was when Earth's heroes had to fight him & when Dr. Strange used that spell. It's still not certain that the spell would have worked on Galactus if he was still at his normal strength/power level.
@@MidnightDStroyer Actually Galactus has been observed to by greatly proficient in the ability to control magical power, he had absorbed most of the dark Dimension before it caused a destabilizing of the laws of physics in which Galactus has control over through his power cosmic or whatever. He isn't as vulnerable to magic as he is susceptible to its influence on him, it can't actually hurt him otherwise. That was a cool story btw, we actually got to see a version of Galactus and dormammu merged together and it was badass honestly.
When I was a kid, I always thought that Bighead was a fragment of Galactus LOL
so he's like those blue gals from mass effect then. they are theorized to appear different to each race, so to maximize the potential for good mating stock. We see them as Humanoid because we play as a Human character.
In an old marvel zombie comics universe the zombies ate galatics and the watcher put their universe into an endless loop.
So i am kinda surprised they left out his desth at the jaws of the zombies.
Barely discovered your page. Good shit.
This should have been the mcu next big bad you set him up in eternals and being birthed from the skrull planet after the kre killed most of them: being in eternals they need a host planet full of life to be born galactus is born 0:01 underdeveloped and 0:01 hungers, then you set up silver surfer to build the stakes and establish how powerful G is. It still allows for the secret wars storyline
Energy, bones, organs and blood, eh? So everything a human is made of.
One of my favorite is Galactus.
He And Unicron Would Be Great Friends
Wow
I didnt knew about galacta
I really hope we gonna see her in movies
I love that every time he said that plates were as big as half of his head he proceeds to show images where the planets are clearly much smaller
The observation of Galactus defining his physical representation sounds like how Schrodinger quantum mechanics
In the King Thanos story, Galactus teams up with ghost rider to fight against Thanos. Galactus head was cut off in one blast and his skull was made into a chair.
EPIC PRONUNCIATION @7:18 Galactus-SES body compriSES of
1:53 bro came up from technologically advanced crips
Has Galactus ever tried eating a Snickers
Galactus is so cool!😃😁
A guardians of the Galaxy and fantastic four vs Galactus movie lol
Glactus consumes planets to limit the population of the celestial’s and to power himself.
I was nevr a comic reader and I love all these videos and even reddit/quora threads that go more in depth (especially on Galactus and the Beyonder). But in this one near the beginning where he said that as the 6th MV was collapsing he was obsorbed into the "embodiment of the MV" but it was referred to as "fiery" which sounds more like the Phoenix Force than Enternity. Maybe its just me but it seems possible as the PF is the embodiment of all psionic energy that "does, ever has and ever will exist". I thought Eternity was the embodiment of time/existence?
Can Galactus go toe to toe with the Tribunal though? And does he pre-date the Celestials?
I would like to see galactus in a movie someday.
Just feed his hunger with the infinity stones. 😂😂😂
He actually tried that; the stones are poison to him.
Richard Belzer has been called up to become the new Galactus.
I was 90% sure this was a computer generated voice, until it repeatedly said "Galaxtu-s-z-z" many times, exactly the same in a row" Now I'm 100% sure : p
I honestly used to own this very comic of Marvel that featured the birth of Galactus!! Honestly cannot find it because I lost it when I was a teenager at some point! damn!
But can he reproduce👀 that’s the most important question here….
Asexually, he has a daughter called Galacta
I hope they keep Galacta at two comic appearances only, Lol.
Why do you use ai art when there’s literally thousands of amazing drawn images of galactus. I genuinely like your channel, your very informative and your editing is amazing it just bums me out to see you cheapen out when making the thumbnail
Forget Thanos galactus is coming and the fantastic four better be assembled and ready to save humanity.....
NOW I LIKE THIS VOICE💚💚💚💚💚💚
"We probably arent going to get to see this guy in movies"
Uhhh, didnt we already in the fantastic 4 sequel?
On you're next video can you talk about M.O.D.O.K Anatomy please
If I didn't know any better I'd swear I was listening to the announcer of one of those 1940s premovie newsreels.
And yet, nobody in the marvel universe has realized the Tao lol
Wait, Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet destroys Galactus.
I almost stopped watching the video when it was stated that Thanos couldn’t beat Galactus even with the infinity stones. Then I rationalized. This video must be talking about the MCU Thanos. Because in the comics, Thanos slapped everybody while he had the Infinity Gems, except The One Above All & The Living Tribunal.
Now this is interesting
They did put him in the Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer but they didn't do very well imo. He was just a big storm kind of thing lol.
Galactus and I have the same name,I was about 10 when I found out Galactus real name was Galen!! And knowing the power he has...gave me alot of Mojo🤗 and motivation
Tell me why sometimes the narrator sounds like he's a radio announcer from the Bronx in 1950 😂
Galactus is constantly HANGRY as you put it because he controls the population of Celestials whose offspring are hidden in planets' cores.
It's really weird on depending on who tells the story Galactus is probably a 10 ten cosmic being capable of beating Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet Thanos took out most of the Cosmic beings including Galactus and Eternity I'm 44 years old and still read the original
