Nah he's guilty regardless of what bulkshit excuse you use to defend him.

What if that bullshit excuse is him proving his innocence in court?

I'm not burying my head, I'm just saying them making the claims of anonymous of people making allegations isn't as strong as identified people defending him. I also said that if those anonymous claims are proven true and in his current case he is found innocent he will still be a piece of shit because not doing something shitty once doesn't absolve you of all the times you did do a shitty thing.

They're not anonymous to RS. They are people who were close with Majors or worked with him.

For what? They were telling their experience, not looking for an outcome.

Furthermore, the point is that even if it was all somehow fake, someone with 2 dozen people saying this shit is pretty much done. Disney will never continue with that big of a possible liability.

Ok and there are also apparently quite a few people that have claimed the opposite, why are you choosing to ignore their experiences with him?

All that's going to show me is in this one instance he was innocent. It's not going to make up for the plethora of accusations, or the incredibly damning defense he initially put out that just screamed abuser.

And again, without evidence and with conflicting statements made by people willing to be identified I'm not willing to just accept that he did this stuff. That's all. I do believe in innocent until proven guilty.

He's guilty of whatever happens in a court. Anything else is just people rushing to Rolling Stone.

Galactus is kind of a joke villain, so he works as their first threat. How many people have defeated him in the comics again?

How many times has the Joker been defeated?

Ok, so in your world view he is guilty no matter what at this point.

Unless he can manage to explain away several damning factors that go beyond the court case yes.

Of what charges? Chafing your buttocks isn't a crime.

Why am I wasting my time on people who would waste their time defending a POS?

If I'm being honest, I think Galactus shouldn't be the next villain. The smarter play would be to bring out Mojo as the next villain. The next Spiderman is going to be Secret Wars which he has a role in, but isn't a major character from what I'm aware.

So finish up Secret wars and then move forward with the Fantastic 4 movie with Galactus.

I don't think Galactus will be the "next Thanos". He's probably only fighting the Fantastic Four. Kang was supposed to be the next big Avengers enemy but now I wonder if it might be Doctor Doom

I'm not very up on my lore of comic books, but doesn't Doom have more to do with the Fantastic 4 than Avengers?

Doom has fought the Avengers too. More than Galactus has I am pretty sure. In like 2015, he became a god and conquered the entire universe. The Avengers fought him then

Ok fair enough. I'll admit I'm not ready to throw him under the bus, and I'll admit the extra allegations look bad for him but I need a bit more proof than anonymous sources to be ready to say fuck the guy, especially when counter claims about his behaviour exist and his law staff claims to have enough evidence to exonerate(not sure if that's the correct term in this case) him.

Where are these conflicting statements? RS literally caught the defense lying with the ex-GFs statements.

They're anonymous because they're going up against a rich man who can ruin their lives even if he's guilty. This is normal stuff. RS is protecting their identities.

The main point is that he's done. You and good_guy can believe it's all fake and talk about some dumb "prove it in court" shit, but 2 dozen people across everything from his college years, his GFs and then to the movies he worked on, is pretty damning no matter who you are.

For me that initial defense was just so powerfully bad. I was more than ready to give him a chance to defend himself but that just gave me bad vibes, and was more than enough for me to believe the allegations.

Tvf, that guy seems more to have the stance "I don't think you're wrong but I still want to see it proven right" which I can understand

This seems to corroborate a previous rumor about Antonio Banderas playing Galactus

Omfg I've been trying to think of who I saw that fit this

Yeah I absolutely buy that

It seems odd to announce Galactus's ethnicity without an actor attached to the role.

I can understand how racial casting for a tragic villain could open up opportunities to draw parallels with real life. But Galactus's story is that he's a giant who must devour worlds to avoid starvation. It's not like you can look at his situation and say TRUMP DID IT.

"When laws were passed that were meant to hurt his people, he left his home universe of MERICA 3 -- unaware of his relative size difference to the majority of lifeforms in this new universe where he must devour entire planets of living peoples merely to survive."

Doom ranges from annoying F4 villain to universe threat depending on the story. Loki isn't really an Avengers villain either but they made it work for the first movie.

They literally mention some of them in the article you posted. I will admit I may be misremembering something, but I'm quite positive I remember also reading about how his defense team has people lined up as character witnesses both from the night in question and in general(those im pretty sure would be made public during the trial) If that ends up not being the case I will own my mistake on it. Like I've said repeatedly, if any of the shit that has been said about him ends up being true he is a PoS, but I'm not willing to demonize a person based solely on hearsay.

Antonio Banderas as Galactus is a casting decision that I approve of. I just wonder why they would announce the ethnicity and not the actor.

I am skeptical

I do not consider Galactus to be a great main villain. As flavor he's amazing but as a villain he always seems too black and white for me.

Black and white??? He might be the most morally grey character ever. He isnt malicious. He has a never ending hunger. He cited planets like we view hen houses.

And one of his purposes is Celestial population control. Celestials are born of planets with large populations. Eventually theyll consume all life and destroy the universe. Galactus feeds on those embryos and preserves the universe at the cost of a planet.

No one announced anything, this is speculation.

During this three-month investigation, Rolling Stone spoke with more than 40 people who have known Majors during his time in graduate school, his Hollywood career, and his romantic relationships. Many describe Majors as being a complicated, unpredictable, and sometimes violent man, who can switch from charming to cold in a flash. (All of the sources for this article requested anonymity, citing fear of career repercussions and personal retribution from Majors. Some claim they were prohibited from speaking. My only response can be that I am silenced by an NDA he had me sign, says one person who worked with Majors.)

Their stories suggest a pattern of alleged physical, mental, and emotional abuse that dates back a decade to Majors time at Yales David Geffen School of Drama where he was involved in physical altercations and continued to the sets of his movies and TV shows, where production members raised concerns over his treatment of crew

There's only two people defending him, which are not very convincing.

The allegations that Mr. Majors got physical with or physically intimidated anyone on any movie set are downright false, Pusch wrote in the statement to Rolling Stone. Everyone who has worked with Mr. Majors knows that he employs an immersive Method acting style, and while that can be misconstrued as rudeness at times, those who know Mr. Majors and work in the industry have attested to his dedication to his craft as well as his kindness.

Only one woman consented to making her statement public. Haley Carter, a woman whom Majors dated from age 13 to 18, described Majors as sweet, kind and gentle, in a message drafted in late March. After 20 years of knowing him, I can tell you who Jonathan is. He did not do these things, the statement said, in part. He is exactly the opposite of what these allegations say. Jonathan is the most self-controlled, disciplined, well-mannered person I know. We all call him the peacekeeper. He is not violent in any way.

Meanwhile, the defense was caught outright lying.

In fact, Rolling Stone reached out to all six people. Three say they never gave Majors team permission to release such statements. Another woman declined to share the statement credited to her by Majors team, saying it was prewritten, not truthful, and that she had never approved of its release. (One did not respond to a request for comment.)

I was disappointed that Indiana Jones 5 didn't really do anything with Antonio Banderas. It's an odd casting choice on paper, but I wanna see Puss in Boots/Zorro as Galactus.

The point you're not getting is that that many people is very damning.

One woman who dated Majors was strangled and physically and emotionally abused, nine sources familiar with their relationship claim. At first, the sources say, Majors was romantic with the woman before becoming more manipulative and volatile. The situation became really extreme abuse, physically and mentally, one source claims, and allegedly escalated to the point of him strangling her. Two sources claim she tried to leave multiple times and had an exit plan at one point, but remained in the relationship

You don't need definitive proof when that many people are claiming something across so many things. It's okay to give them the benefit of the doubt that it's probably true.

Trying to make excuses and argue that it could be all fake just because we don't have something 100% confirmed is being an abuser sympathizer.

Ultimately, my OP said his career is done. And that's true. Whether you believe these accusations or not.

They didn't announce anything, this twitter page did. It's not like Disney sent out a press release with this information.

I hope that after Kang/Secret Wars we're getting a movie version of Annihilation. F4 will likely introduce Silver Surfer and with the new Guardians cosmic marvel has a decent roster. Just missing Nova.

Who's brave and ready for battle? (The Surfer!)
Who's so unbelievably hungry? (Ga-lac-tus!)

*repeat chorus lol*

I had far too much fun with that. Now I want Banderas to play Galactus lmao.

why do ppl fall for these rumors

Senor Galacticos

What his race is doesn't really matter.
He's going to be wearing a head mask so we'll never see his full face or body.

They probably picked him for his voice.

This Should be hype worthy but it feels a little to late in my opinion. Same for the F4 and X-men. All the other A list heroes aside from Thor are either retired, dead, or a joke now in the Hulks case.

They really should have just recast the actors for these characters so they could have continued using them.
