10 More Movie Heroes You Didn't Realise Probably Died Horrible Deaths

6. All Of Mankind - Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is pretty legitimately held as one of the worst comic book movies of all time, and a lot of it is down to the fact that Galactus was reinvented as a gigantic cloud of noxious evil that is hell-bent on eating Earth because why not?

Inevitably the Silver Surfer makes a heroic sacrifice at the end of the film, killing himself (for all of a few minutes while the credits play) and exploding Galactus halfway through his lunch, but not before saving Sue who had been mortally wounded. Everyone cheers, Sue and Mr Fantastic get married and Johnny says something "witty" and makes a big four in the sky.

But Wait...

If you ignore the fact that Galactus' explosion has absolutely zero impact on the Earth (unlikely but whatever), the fact that he's basically halfway through eating Earth seems to be entirely ignored by the sugary ending.

As ecology warriors are always saying, the Earth is a fragile thing, and if you think having a hole in the ozone from all your hairspray is bad, what sort of untold devastation will having gaping holes in the Earth's crust unleash?
