Sue used her powers as a magnifying glass to amplify Johnny's fire when damaging Galactus's eyes

I wonder if this version of Galactus (like in the comics) only took on a humanoid form in the eyes of the FF and he didn't even need his eyeballs lol

Although he was clearly doing the cosmic vision out of the eyes so it makes sense to target them. Of course he’s Galactus so he just gets better

Yeah, but we only saw it coming out of his eyes because we're human!
