[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 3591729, member: 115"] There's actually a reason for that, and for Earth, that involves a whole load of stuff that just wouldn't make sense in the movie. At least in Marvel-Prime, Earth is basically an egg, with a growing being called a Celestial inside. Galactus destroys the Celestial, and in the process destroys the planet. ... I'm a total geek. :\ I haven't seen it either, in the interest of full disclosure. I think added on to this, there's an attitude that genre (sci-fi, fantasy, supers) stuff gets a more than a bit of a pass. I suppose it's because that it's because there's not a whole lot of it out there, and a whole lot of dramas and comedies in various permutations. It's unfortunate for two major reasons. The lesser one is that giving sub-par movies a pass because they're genre means we keep getting more crappy movies. The bigger one though, IMO, is that when these movies [i]are[/i] good, you don't just see the fans go out and see it, you see everyone going out to see it. Exposure to these genre films isn't just good for movies, it's good for books and games as well. Also, because I [i]know[/i] someone will say something - you don't just see this with the genres that are popular here. It can be seen in pretty much any genre, and even among any group of fans. Heck, look at how many people will excuse poor sports teams because they have an interest. Anyway, I'm of course focusing on the applicable genres to FF4. [/QUOTE]
