Poison Ivy does use seduction, just not in the same way the original one did. She uses her plants more often and uses the pollen to hypnotize or seduce if you prefer to get people under her control. What's nice about this Ivy is that she is a REAL mutant, not some chick who just has a plant gimmick.
The original Ivy had great sex appeal but I always considered her to be under explored, her mutant plants indicate a much more advanced level of super villainy and larger then a common plant foe. The new one at least has real plant powers and I REALLY liked how she used to be friends with Batgirl.
The thing with Galactus is there not saying he won't work, there saying his LOOKS won't work. Just like Green Goblin from Spider man. His original appearance had him wearing purple boots, gloves, pointed cap, and carrying a purse around....if they had used that EXACT image, he'd look awful fruity.
Images have to be tweaked because again, comics don't always translate well to movies, not without occasionally looking ridiculous that is. Riddler for example is a hard outfit to pull off and coming off as serious, Carrey did a great job as Riddler though and I loved how he imitated Frank Goshire.
The original West/Batman series Riddler. His giggles and grinning face really reminded me of the old school Riddler, and I especially found it funny that of ALL the villain teams ups I've seen, I find it freaking amazing that Two-face and Riddler actually worked well together in "Forever" with ZERO back stabbing.
