10 Different Ways You Can Actually Defeat Galactus
8. Just Feed Him
Marvel Comics
Anyone who knows Galactus knows that he loves to eat. And, because of his rather specific dietary requirements, finding the right planet to chow down on can be a rather difficult task. When the character is Earth-bound once more, and with the Avengers out of town, the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl takes it upon herself to halt the alien's advance, albeit with a somewhat unconventional method.
Knowing that Galactus must be hungry, Doreen points the Heraldless being in the direction of a nut-filled planet. Thankful for the meal, Galactus proposes that Squirrel Girl become his new Herald, but she declines, citing her responsibilities on Earth as a reason for not getting into that particular profession.
Ryan North and Erica Henderson's series is special for a whole host of different reasons, but if any issue were to exemplify its pitch-perfect approach to comedy, it would be this one.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
