The writing in that issue was poor, completely and bases itself upon two huge fallacies: That neither Mephisto or Thor can be destroyed.
In earlier issues, Thor was totally incapable of matching Mephisto in his realm. Annual 13, I believe.
So don't bring out PIS...otherwise Spidey>Firelord
I actually wrote wat i mentioned before to see wats ur real opinion on the fight
why would would u make a thread if u know that Mesphisto is nearlly omnipotent in his realm?
Yes. In a way that had absolutely nothing to do with combat ability.
Mephisto himself said that the mortals weren't worth any disruption to his realm. It's a bit hard to fight against that specific power of Gally's/
In straight combat, it could've eventually threatened the universe
Erm...dude, the comic itself said if the fight continued as it was, the entire universe would be at risk.
Galactus switched tactics on the fly...in sheer combat, he was Meph's equal. He just changed tactics to drain Meph's world, making him realize the gains are NOT worth the risks.
Well I saw the scans too. Galactus was losing power fighting Mephisto in his realm and then Big G started to absorb his realm. Mephisto was winning until Big G needed energy, if Big G dies then Mephisto's got bigger problems then even Galactus.
In fairness, Galactus had to have come fully prepared for a fight. He knows what Mephisto is and how greedy and evil he is.
In fact, one of the Heralds is the one to give Galactus the idea to abandon the fight and try his other tactic-Mephisto thinks Galactus is breaking off to withdraw and doesn't attack further until Gal starts absorbing the world. Mephisto yells he can't fight this way and that no mortlas are worth the disruption of his realm's stability.
So Galactuc uses tactics to win-though he and Mephisto were evenly matched as combatants
in his own realm they were about equal in terms of power in there. but ,eph had no way to defeat galan. while galan could absorb his whole realm and then crush him.
What are you talking about? A fully fed Galactus couldn't overcome Mephisto: He resorted to trying to drain the world to break their stalemate because Mephisto would realize when his world was at risk, it'd be less risky to surrender the Heralds.
There's no 'ownage' there, don't throw around terms. In combat, they were equals. PERIOD.
if they were equals then mephisto would have been able to stop him. he couldnt. galactus could absorb his realm when he wanted to win everytime. mephisto cant beat galactus in any way.
Quan, True...or false:
Galactus was NOT able to overcome Mephisto in direct combat and had to change tactics?
In direct combat, Mephisto can beat Galactus...he was getting the better of Galactus there, it's pretty clear. Please READ the comic. Why do you think Galactus had to resort to that? He withdrew from the fight, then attempts to absorb Mephisto's realm-whether this would even work, we don't know...all we know is Mephisto considers his risks higher than his gains. ALL we know is that:
Mephisto and Galactus fight as exact equals in direct combat period. Accept it. But, this deviates: this is Thor against Meph, not Gal
