And I think you're right. When Gunn was presumed to be the shepherd of the cosmic end of the MCU, he certainly could have taken his time and maybe just introduced Warlock as Him and slowly brought him along across several films. New guy might just go from Him to Warlock in one film. We shall see. At the end of GOTG 2, Ayesha calls the being in the cocoon Adam, so doubtful there'll be an intermediate stage featuring Him.

1Cool Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Since we are speculating I personally do not like the idea of Warlock on screen and I think as a character he will fall flat if forced into a flick. I've been wrong before but I was more looking forward to Pip the Troll then Warlock. Readcomix and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Aldred Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) A live-action version of Him would remind me too much of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Adam Warlock’s better, but already I’m not exactly impressed by the golden appearance of The Sovereign. Also, a lot of his interaction with Thanos gets quite philosophical and deep, so it remains to be seen if Marvel Studios can simplify that down and make him interesting to a mass audience.

WeR138 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I was holding onto the last scrap of hope for Pip myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howling Mad Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Frankly I don't think they'll ever introduce Warlock. He's a god level character, which means he needs to have some level of a backstory/character development. He would seem completely forced into a story line at this point, as would Silver Surfer. That said, it's unfortunate, as he's a cool character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But certainly nowhere near a "key" though, not even close to the level of SS34 which is also not a key, though its importance in being Thanos' "return" (after, what, 5 years? lol) is made greater due to Starlin taking Thanos and really turning him into a much more interesting and important character than he was pre-Starlin. Funny though how "1st Copper-Age appearance" just doesn't have quite the ring to it a "1st Bronze-Age appearance" or "1st Silver-Age appearance". Heh. I still think we need to split the "Modern-Age" (are 25 year old books really "Modern"?) into two or three more "ages". Other than the non-continuity "Thanos Copter" story in Spidey Super Stories #39, Thanos did not appear in the Marvel Universe as a current character for 13 years...from 1977 to 1990. That's non-flashback, non-index appearances. And Thanos was never "pre-Starlin." Nearly every Thanos appearance from 1973-1977 was written and/or drawn by Starlin. Thanos was his baby, start to finish. Edited July 31, 2018 by RockMyAmadeus Lonzilla and Jaydee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more try - I meant that Thanos was much less interesting of a character before he was brought back in the SS run. OR one might say... he became a more interesting character AFTER he was brought back by Starlin in the SS run. I don't know why that's confusing?

Now, it's almost an absolute certainty that Galactus and the Silver Surfer will be a major factor in the MCU in the years to come. Furthermore, there are many of us who believe / speculate that Disney has plans to involve MORE than just (1) of Galactus Heralds in the MCU. Ask yourself this. Why should Disney bring just (1) of Galactus heralds to the big screen when there are so many outstanding / cool Heralds in the Marvel Universe??? In particular, the Silver Surfer (Fantastic Four #48), Firelord (Thor #225), and Terrax (FF #211) are currently the most likely candidates / heralds to be brought to the MCU. Needless to say, of these (3) books I've mentioned, FF #211 is the bargain / lowest priced item in CGC 9.8. ygogolak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fett Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I would absolutely love to see a great Galactus story that honors the original FF stories, but that also means the Silver Surfer first and foremost. I think it would be overkill at this point to do more than the original herald. If Marvel Studios had owned the property from the get-go and introduced Galactus/Surfer/FF the right way about 10 years ago along with Iron Man and the rest, maybe they could introduce a few more of the heralds at this stage. But comic book movies don't have that NEW feeling anymore, and I definitely don't want to see alot of Galactus beyond one movie.

kimik Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The GSX end price is not that shocking when you consider what 9.8 ASM 129s go to. The big three Marvel BA keys have all seen healthy gains this year and I expect the trend to continue in 2019 barring an economic downturn.
