AQ seems to use random things to influence what is in the game. You'll notice a lot of random references.

yeah coz the devouror (to AQ the galin) was made by marvel bout 20 years ago and does exactly the same thing as it does in AQ (eat worlds) and there is proof coz of fantastic 4 rise of the silver surfer, there is the lantern (also known as the devourer) and that is what the film is about, stopping the devourer.


Ehem. They are not quite the same. In AQ, The`Galin was once a human. He doesn't EAT, he Uncreates. He isn't trying to destroy universe. He is trying to purify it!


glacticus was once a human like alien. he was fused with the power of the cosmos or something after the last universe suffered the big crunch leading into our big bang.

and I beilive galacticus doesnt want to destroy the universe either, he has to absorb life energy from inhabted planets to survive.



Neverborn -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 15:49:55)

There is also the Sinister 7 war, an obvious reference to Marvel's Sinister 6...

As for Galactus, the Comic Version and the movie version differ somewhat... In the comics he takes the form of a giant Humanoid... :)



Wintes -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 15:58:26)

Fenris is from norse mythology.
Just to clarify, taht has been here longer than Marvel.



Neverborn -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 15:59:56)

Yup, Marvel "borrowed" a lot from various mythologies, for example the entire Greek and Norse Pantheons...



Wintes -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 16:01:26)

Its hilarious how people fail to realize that.



Ĉon -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 19:54:39)

There are so many things in AQ borrowed from elsewhere, that I can't possibly name them all.

No it has been confirmed it is not stolen from Marvel they made it themselves...



Tapeworm Shoelace -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 20:49:58)

Confirmed by whom, Darkchris?



killerdude22 -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 20:58:11)

yes asgardian set is off of myths



Chii -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 21:04:50)

The inspiration from Marvel made up approximately 0.0% in the production of this set and that monster.



N0085L4Y3R -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/29/2008 21:10:46)

Those were Norse Legends incorporated to give a sense of power. A load of references are used in AQ. Asgard was the home of the gods and Valhalla for heroes. Fenris was Loki's dire wolf. Mjollnir was Thor's, Odin's son and God of Thunder's hammer which was crafted by Brokk and Eitri.

Galactus has always been a comsic power. try reading "the infinity guantlet" and "Anihilation" He indeed feeds off planets to still his neverending hunger. in the Ultimate universe, Gah'Lac Tus is a swarm of semi-sentient pods. (one of the few flaws in the ultimate universe imo)



FiendBane -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 2:50:59)

Maybe some of the aspects of the storyline is influenced by Marvel..

BUT then again, AQ is influenced by multiple stories/spoofs too.



s4tchel -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 2:52:57)

AQ is actually fairly original when it comes to the devourer saga.



FiendBane -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 3:11:20)

As convoluted as it is original.
Not that its a bad thing..it helps to keep players occupied.



Resolute -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 8:27:54)

I wouldn't say so, no.

~GB5~



Jonaza -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 8:47:16)

No. AQ was more liekly inspired by the original old Narse legends than Marvel.



EbilEnt -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 11:47:44)

i wonder if it can be just that. take agent smith in the devourer saga, the aliens (voidies) and predator in azma lake as examples. their area is vast, and it can't be just some old legends.

yeah but they all are the same thing, a big force that traval the galaxy to "uncreate" planets.



ZAX -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (1/30/2008 20:01:38)

That's their only similarity. And Galactus just eats planets, The'Galin judges them. He leaves the worthy ones alone. Plus, Galactus is gigantic, The'Galin (while I imagine he can change shape) is human sized, or was in his original mortal body. The'Galin ascended, after dying...The list of things they don't share is quite long.



HailFire -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (2/2/2008 20:19:53)

A SawBones is slang for Doctor so Doctor Sawbones is known as Doctor Doctor

The eye of horus in the runehawk box is to do with the doctor who episode, Pyramids of mars.



xehanort -> RE: =AE= Spotted a Parody or Spoof in our Games Post it Here (2/7/2008 15:10:42)

jaania/lucrecia.
it would appear they are both stuck in crystals.
the circumstances in which they got there however is vastly different.
