It's inconsistency, and making a plot point just for the sake of it. Byrne kind of clusterfu cked that whole Gods history. I mean, Izaya being a constant 'peer' throughout Darkseid's existence, more or less, makes his accumulation of power seem out of place. The same Izaya who is, imo, at least a peer to the likes of Odin/Zeus. Then there was that shit about merging different version of Ares(es) and stuff...ugh.

Bryne did a lot of good things, but he completely flopped on a lot. Look at how the thing we're talking ended. Darkseid is accumulating power to kill all the Gods, naturally there's going to be some sort of big battle right?
Same with the bomb that was going to destroy the universe right before Genesis. I don't even remember if that was tackled in Orion's solo series since it's been years, but it definitely wasn't covered well in 4th World. The threat beforehand was though.
The way he fused Apok/New Genesis though was hilarious. And then it references that issue throughout like he made it crystal clear. That sort of thing requires a little more emphasis while doing it than he did.
OBM vs. Abhil is like a farmer vs. an intruding Indigenous teenager. Just make up and grab a coffee at your local timmies.
When did Odin lose to a younger Thor?
Odin looked less impressive than he generally is against other heralds (I.e. one-shotting them without even acknowledging their presence) but the big revelation is the Mother Storm which adds context. Getting hit by an all-out Thor packing a charged Mjolnir, has rocked beings of various caliber over the years. Also, your statement implies Odin was losing.
Odin does not has average of oneshotting heralds without acknowledging their presence though. Even Stan Lee Odin couldn't ko Thor with five consecutive blasts.
And there was no indication Jane was amped against Odin. Thorbags have repeatedly tried to use it as if it's written there.
...Odin shape shifted into a barbarian ogre with four times Thor's strength. How is this evidence of Thor being able to beat Odin?
Also, this is hilarious. You have attempted to dismiss this is evidence. Now that you are lowballing Odin, it now counts? Wtf?
Stan Lee's Odin was on a completely different level from Thor and could have eliminated him from existence with a wave if pressed. Thor still breathing after consecutive blasts from someone who could wipe out Galaxies isn't a low showing on Odin, it's a high showing for Thor.
Because even then Thor beats Odin to a bloody pulp. And it was one rumor that he was four times stronger.
Thor beats him down.
You informed that it's canon, isn't it?
Of course, Odin could wipe out Thor anytime he wanted. Except he didn't and Thor even defeated Galactus under Lee who was equal to Odin.
And Odin didn't destroy galaxies. It was standard Stan Lee hyperbole. Only planets were hidden from view and later it was restricted to planets getting ripped apart.
It's like everything is high showing for Thor and Odin. "See Thor is so powerful he took blasts from Odin. See Odin is so powerful he attacked Thor."
It only works for Thor and Odin.
Right. Do tell us more how Odin could wipe Thor anytime when he couldn't ko Thor after several blasts intending to kill him.

It's the double standards. Odin fails to ko Thor and gets beaten by Thor. "Look how powerful Thor is".
Darkseid has way better showings against Superman than Odin does against Thor but it's a low showing for Darkseid everytime he gets fought by Superman.
Clearly that’s bad writing and likely a low feat under one writer
I really think people will need wait and see how Jane deals with Mangog. If she loses, it shouldn’t be considered a bad showing for Thor or Odin. However, if she proceed to beat him, which is most likely the case, it’s a horrible feat for Odin
It's already a horrible showing for Odin. He hurts Mangog only with a spear which Odinson, Freyja and Heimdall all did. He is no more effective than any of them.
It's like Aaron read all the excuses Rage could throw for Odin and thought how can I shit on his soul.
She'll either beat Mangog, or do WAY better against him than anyone else. After all, transforming into Thor this last time WILL kill Jane -- that much was made explicitly clear. Marvel will undoubtedly give her one last tremendous showing as a send-off if nothing else... Especially considering that she's a female character, and Marvel is going for bonafide matriarchy-status these days.
...Not unlike Supergirl 'nearly killing' the friggin Anti-Monitor in her death issue. /shrug
