MCF's Perilous! 3.II

MCF's Perilous! is a quiz in reverse. He posts ten answers. You get one week to come up with the corresponding questions and post them on your blogs, leaving a link to your post in the comments section of his blog. Next week, he'll reveal the questions he was thinking of, along with everyone's scores.

Points carry over from one installment to the next, and after five rounds the person with the most points can redeem them for a “prize”. Every five rounds, the scores reset, and a new winner could potentially gain a piece of the Mysterious Master Prize. Here's our current scoring system:

1 pt=each question
2 pts=each question that matches MCF's
-1 pt=any sentences not in question form, or forgetting a question mark
15 pts=Bonus for the Best Question

I gotta admit, that F4 preview looks pretty good, but WHERE'S GALACTUS??

MCF informed me that Galactus is a cloud... I pray that he is wrong.

But he's a really eeeeevil cloud. Right now he's hanging out on this island tormenting the survivors of this plane crash, and he may or may not be connected to these Other people who may or may not be descendents of some weird scientific research team.

A cloud might not be so bad though; I've been trying to visualize what a giant with a tall purple hat might look like in live action, and I think it would be hard to take seriously. Also, I'm enough of a comic geek to recall that even in the 616 continuity, that form is just what Galactus shows to lesser beings because its familiar and comprehensible, and they couldn't register or process his true likeness. In the Ultimate continuity, he's a cloud of nanites, so I suspect the film is drawing on that.

But, the Surfer looks awesome, we get more Johnny/Ben hijinks, more Alba in spandex, and even a Super Skrull effect on Johnny. Might not be X-men or Spider-man, but I think this one will be fun.
