You're making assumptions on a brief clip, and not the actual movie itself. You can't possibly know that it creates plot problems without having seen or read the entire movie (or having it described to you by someone else). Now DonTadow, having seen the movie, is able to back up your assumptions with actual measured experience, but this entire thread up until the release date of this movie, has been you jumping to conclusions based on something you had seen a clip of.And then theres,"according to Marvel's official site..."Marvel's official site's description of the character and his powers is based on the comic version of the character- it has no relation to the movie version. As we've all discussed here previously, the movie version is not always equivalent to the comic version. It happens that the movie versions are, of course, based around the concept of the comic versions, but there are often changes made (and, in the strange way that art imitates life, or at least other art) changes have also been made to the comics based on the film (Pete's webbing in the comics is now organic, for instance).So now we see that your premise for this thread was based both on a clip of the movie, and your assumptions that the character is the same as he is in the comics.Now you're reading the movie Silver Surfer's thoughts? How about this possibility-As a rational being with his particular line of work (which he's been doing for some time)- delivering up life-bearing planets to be nibbled by Big G- but also being in possession of a moral conscience (that selfsame moral conscience that couldn't let him stand by and see his own planet, full of innocents, be destroyed) he knows that Galactus will go on eating planets with or without him, so to save his own world, he will lead Galactus to other worlds, but he cannot bring himself to do any murdering on his own, so he tries to assuage what morality he has by allowing Galactus to do all the dirty work, and just being the herald of Galactus' arrival.Essentially, he's making the choice of being an accessory to murder, rather than being the murderer himself.And, again, you are making this judgement based on a clip of the movie, and not the entirety of the movie. It's the Blind Man and Elephant tale. Or Chicken Little and the falling sky.Except that, perhaps, he's not a cold-blooded murderer? But then, to know that, we'd have to- you know- watch the movie.</blockquote>
