They probably taste better. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside.

Eating a sun doesn't have the same 口感

The suns sustain the planets he needs to eat. He doesn't actually eat the planets, just the energy and life sources on it so he can come back eons later to feast again. He's basically a lot like an elephant; his entire daily motivation is to consume enough energy to sustain his gigantic body, so that's basically all he does is eat and then falls asleep once he's full.

That's just it.. Why not just camp around a safe distance from the Sun..  and be something like a plant, and photosynthesize..

Well if he can absorb Thermal energy from a planet's core..  he can certainly abosorb CMEs.


Or perhaps the sun is too hot for him..  like how you wouldn't eat the boiling pot, rather the food in it..


U know.. I just hate how vague the Marvel Universe is....    It doesn't make sense... sigh....

He specifically needs energy from living organisms, sentient or not doesn't matter. He wouldn't be able to convert a sun to nourishment. Same reason he doesn't just eat asteroids and barren planets instead. He's not really a bad guy, just controlled by his hunger... that and he's very easily offended.

Ok,  but we know that Energy = Mass..

So, the energy from living-beings is actually just mass..


There is no special energy from living beings..    This was never properly defined..

Oh and it should be said that the Big Guy is like, the savior of the entire Universe in the long-haul as long as the Universe keeps providing him nourishment while it exists. Once the Universe inevitably comes to it's end and everything implodes on itself all that will be left is Galactus at which point he will release all the energy he has been storing to rebirth the Universe.

For some reason not a lot of people know this, but I think it's a pretty damn important fact about him.

Anywhoooooooooo




Oops, I guess he does eat stars, here's a good explanation:

"Galactus can eat stars. He's done so in the past, just after the Annihilation conflict in fact, and his feeding doesn't kill them. However, it does drain millions, or even billions, of years off of the star's life span and uses up energy it can use in other ways, such as forming new elements to 'seed' the nebula it will become after it explodes.
Remember, nebulae form stars, stars go nova, the remnants of the stars eventually form nebulae, and then the cycle repeats.
Galactus eating a star is basically like a farmer eating a cow, rather than keeping it to supply milk, cheese, and butter. In the short term, it offers a gigantic meal and can satisfy him for ages. In the long term, however, it denies him the ability to eat smaller, but still satisfying, meals many times in the future."

That makes no sense..

We got black holes with infinite mass..  and the ultimate nullifier.. and those stupid infinity gems.

^^ what are these, redundancies in case galactus screws up?

Not really related to your topic, but the infinity gems were destroyed recently during the first Incursion.

how could these things be destroyed..   I suppose they probably mean, the allotted energy was disseminated?

Well they used the gems to destroy another Universe's Earth, during an Incursion. As far as the 616 universe, they are destroyed, energy and gem alike. There are similar objects in other universes, that I'm sure will come unto play during Secret Wars.


Edit: "They" being the Illuminati.
