Ralph Ineson Delivers a Reality Check to Deadpool Creator on MCU Galactus
Rob Liefeld took a swing at MCU’s Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps — and Ralph Ineson fired back on X with a two-word taunt that says it all: rent free.
Rob Liefeld took a swing at Marvel's new Galactus, and Ralph Ineson swung right back. It's quick, petty, and honestly kind of funny. Here's what went down and why the replies are pure chaos.
The spark: Liefeld vs. Galactus VFX
On November 24, 2025, Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld hopped on X and dunked on a clip of a burning Galactus from Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps. He reshared the footage and wrote:
"Looks so fake. The Marvel FX fell off a cliff."
The target of that critique? Galactus himself, played by Ralph Ineson in First Steps.
The clapback: Ineson answers with two words
Ineson didn't ignore it. On November 25, 2025, from his account @ralphineson, he quote-posted and kept it short:
"Rent free 😂"
Is it subtle? Not even a little. But it landed, and fans ran with it.
The broader feud: Liefeld vs. the MCU (and Kevin Feige)
This isn't a one-off gripe. Liefeld has been torching Marvel and Kevin Feige for a while. Also on November 24, he posted:
"MCU was the single biggest fail of 2025. Feige is so washed. Doomsical Chairs can't get here fast enough!"
He also fired off a now-deleted tweet telling Feige to watch more movies, per a screenshot shared on Reddit by u/Intelligent_Creme351 in r/FantasticFour. So yeah, he's on a heater.
Fans pile on (and they are not gentle)
While Liefeld keeps blasting away, a chunk of the audience is roasting him right back. Some think he's still salty over past MCU snubs – one Reddit thread joked he's "STILL pissed about not being invited to a Deadpool & Wolverine after-party lol." The replies on X have been relentless:
- Mister Fantastic (@RickGrimes_98): "Bro is still mad that they didn't invite him to that afterparty"
- United States of COOKED (@HeWhoRunsFades): "...Man you need a new hobby"
- @devius_gabivs: "YOU look fake blud"
- Ricky Diamond (@BorkEternal): "Hating from outside the club"
- AntiMello (@antime11o): "Anatomy is so off. Man art really fell off a cliff"
- Put Your Phone Away at the Movies!!! (@PussInGroots): "Looks better than this" (with a dunk-image attached)
Where this leaves things
One of Marvel's most famous character creators dragging the MCU while the guy playing Galactus fires back with meme ammo? It's messy, and the fanbase is treating it like sport. Whether you agree with Liefeld about the VFX in The Fantastic Four: First Steps or not, the discourse is loud and very online. And with Ineson tossing out a clean two-word counterpunch, this probably isn't cooling off anytime soon.
