Not making Silver Surfer Galactus' first herald in the MCU would be so unfathomably stupid.

@SheepishOne - Why when he had heralds before SS in the comics?
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 1/19/2024, 11:41 AM
@HammerLegFoot - Sure, but we're talking film. Marvel has been losing interest from general audiences steadily since Endgame. You've got to go with the Surfer, who is far and away the fan favorite of Galactus' heralds. Primordius isn't exactly a household name in the way the Surfer is.

Not saying you can't have heralds come before the Surfer canonically, but the first one that should usher Galactus into the fold on screen should be the Surfer.

@SheepishOne - I'd much prefer a Surfer variant like Shalla Bal instead of Norrin Radd, rather than a Nova or anyone.

Besides it'd just create brand confusion with the Nova corps and/or Nova if he ever debuts.
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 1/19/2024, 1:07 PM
@ObserverIO - Norrin Radd is one of my favorite characters in all of Marvel, so maybe I'm a bit biased. But I think he's far and away the most interesting of the Surfer variants.

I for sure agree that it shouldn't be a Nova.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 1/19/2024, 1:48 PM
@SheepishOne - I suppose they could just gender flip him then. Norrin's not necessarily an exclusively male name. But I think people would protest at more gender flipping. Maybe just gender flipping the Silver Surfer so that, in a twist of fate, it was Shalla Bal who sacrificed her life for Norrin instead of the other way around.
Marvelll
Marvelll - 1/19/2024, 2:09 PM
@ObserverIO - And I say, why is that? If you change the gender and everything is more pro?, why?
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 1/19/2024, 2:16 PM
@Marvelll - What do you mean?
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 1/19/2024, 2:24 PM
@ObserverIO - There's not really a reason to swap Norrin's gender. If they're trying to tell a story from a female perspective with the character, then they should use Juno imo.

I suppose they could do as you suggested and swap Norrin Radd and Shalla Bal's roles (sort of how Aunt May adopted the Uncle Ben role in No Way Home). But I don't really see the point. With Aunt May, we've seen the uncle Ben death play out several times, so it was an interesting twist on a trope we all know. I'd argue Norrin Radd's story hasn't been told properly on screen yet.

If it doesn't serve the story to swap the Surfer's gender, then there's no reason to do it, when the character has existed as he is for so long. If there's an interesting reason to do it, or if it enhances the story in a meaningful way that isn't just a lateral move from male to female, then sure, I'm all ears.

ObserverIO - 1/19/2024, 2:48 PM
@SheepishOne - I guess I'm just more excited about seeing them do something with the Silver Surfer than any other herald, even if it has to be a female Surfer.

@SheepishOne - In short, I agree with you. BUT...

I think you can setup a brilliant tease of Silver Surfer if you introduce Galactus with an existing herald but by then end of the movie -- assuming F4 -- we're introduced to Norrin Radd and a glimpse at the beginning of that story.

@Origame - Because of the same reason that Josh "Make-Mine-Marvel" Wilding cranked-out about 275 "articles" on how bad THE FLASH was. It was low-lying fruit and Josh has a quota to meet or else CBM may revoke his License-to-Shill as a contributor. 🫤

@HammerLegFoot - oh you don't gotta be so kind. I'm a blob. Just got off my bulking phase. Really hoping for some good things in the cutting phase to really get my abs shining.

well you all know by now if you dont like certain types of articles stop clicking on them. clicking on them just to scroll to the bottom and lodging complaints in the comments is still click. a click is a click. speak with your clicks and not with calling the author names. cause you have to click to call him names.

@Thing94 - They should race swap Thing with a gentile and gender-swap Sue.

Oh shit but then Reed and Sue would be gay.

Okay so gender swap Reed too.

Oh [frick] but then we have a female!!!!
