Questions on the movie

I'm confused about some facts in the movie. Hope someone can explain it to me.

1) How did Johnny inherit everyone's powers? Before that, he SWAPPED his powers with whomever he came in contact with. So how did he get the powers this time without losing it and how did he give it back just like that?

2) Silver Surfer serves Galactus and Galactus is the one who gave him his powers. So how in the world can Silver Surfer get the powers to kill Galactus?

3) What was the point of the crates? Why did he keep making them? If he was trying to figure out the thermal and organic levels, he already called Galactus before he made more. Why would he hang around like that and keep making crates?

After Johnny touched the Silver Surfer in their first encounter thats when it started.

I mentioned that in my question. He SWAPPED powers. He didn't absorb them. So if he touched someone, he would give his powers to them and get their powers. So how he got everyone's powers at the same time is my question.

Silver Surfer didnt destroy Galactus he just made him go away.

From what he said, he destroyed him by killing himself. But he survived. And even if he just repulsed him, how did he when Galactus is far more powerful?

I dont recall on the third question.

Throughout the early part of the movie, Silver Sufer made crates around the world. That's how Mr.Fantastic tracked him down.

But Reed said that swapping one person's powers was volatile. How did he manage to absorb everyone and still stay stable? They never explained that.

Crates? What? I think you meant to say 'craters'..

Also, I don't think this is a real toilet

Also, about your first question:

Right before Johnny fights Viktor using all of their powers, they do that 'one for all and all for one'-thing, where they all place their hands on top of each others hands, and Johnny is the one who does that last and you see a flash, so I guess he found a way to take all of their powers at that moment..

As I said in another post in this thread, Reed said that swapping one person's powers was volatile. How did he manage to absorb everyone and still stay stable? They never explained that.

And how did he return back the powers to the right people? It's not like the powers are linked to the right person.
