That would make sense if what was narrated matched what was on panel. Long dead suns re-igniting! Distant galaxies crumbling! But all I saw was a lot of man-hugs and wrastlin'.
Actually that's how Thor saw it no? He's not exactly mortal. And nowhere was it mentioned that galaxies were being destroyed because Dormammu and Odin were having it out.
I don't recall who it was that witnessed the Chess match/battle, but it was clear that the Chess match was just a metaphor for the actual battle with Odin and Dormammu acting as agents of Order and Chaos respectively.
My point was that what you see isn't necessarily what's happening. It was a higher plane conflict which had effects on the lower planes.
If you can't accept that then there's really nothing more for us to discuss.
Seth wins.

It was clearly Thor who witnessed it but didn't understand what was going on. Thor's not mortal maybe he's just slow for a god?
Yes and my point is, if the narrator is saying one thing and what's being depicted by the artist is showing another, I'm gonna have to go with the artist's take, since the narrator could be engaging in hyperbole.
if the narrator says something is happening and it doesnt show, its probably not conceivable to the human mind thus cant be drawn
these guys were probably fighting in multiple planes ( 3D 4D 5D Astral Plane etc) most likely that cant be drawn
this is probably why the multiverse was effected

Makes sense, seeing as how Thor isn't anywhere near their level in power.
Then the writer should have double checked the artist's work. Because the narration didn't match what was shown on panel. And hyperbole isn't uncommon in comics.
I understand just fine Colossus. I can show you multiple instances where the writer/narrator was saying "galaxies crumble" and it was shown on panel. Hell just check and see what Vulcan did with the Phoenix Force (with Jean secretly holding him back) in What If : Rise and Fall of the Shiar Empire.
What was shown in that Seth/Odin throw down didn't match up with the narration, AT ALL.
