Galactus vs Darkseid

Ok, all this talk about the Big G/Darkseid fight has gotten rediculous. First of all, when DS's mosters jumped him from behind, Galactus was busy trying to get his machine together and wasn't looking for a fight. So basically, the argument is that DS(with prep since he got all the stuff together while Big G was busy elsewhere), can manage to get in some good shots against a hungry Galactus who isn't paying attention to him. Well big deal, the same could be said of Thanos. The main point of that fight boils down to this...

And there you have it. DS is unable to do a damn thing to Galactus is actually ready to face off with him. And this was the same Galactus that got jumped from behind earlier. He never went anywhere, or recharged or anything.

Actually, that was their initial confrontation. Darkseid took the upper hand AFTER that. Galactus never reclaimed the upper hand, just finished his machine finally, and realised he was duped and got beat up for nothing. Then had to fly away, dying of lack of energy, to find another planet.

ROFL Darkseid is in tatters, everybody can see that but you. If Galactus was trying to destroy Darkseid from the onset instead of consuming Apokalypse, Darkseid would have been smacked down hard, even to a super hungry low on energy Galactus, end of story.

DC Fanboyism at it's greatest. 🙄

Good thing the poll shows that almost nobody beleives you.

Yeah Galactus is the one that looks beat up in this picture:
🙄 🙄 🙄

NOT! That's funny, Galactus armor is sparkly and shiney with no scratches, dents, but Darkseid is in tatters! His clothes are all ripped up, but according to you, Galactus is beat up! LOL

Oh, his shirt is torn? That constitutes having been beaten up?

How does Galactus look in this one?

He was getting pounded, had to be rescued.
lol. Surfer came to save him....
So Darkseid turns his attention on Surfer instead.

Bam, one shot.

He only used a FRACTION of his power, as stated on panel, and brought them both down.

While he was doing that, Galactus popped up, as seen in the scan, and realised that he fought for nothing. And ran dying to another planet. Something Darkseid knew from the onset.

Outbattled, as Darkseid clearly had the advantage in the later half, on both of them, by himself.
And outsmarted, obviously.

Even Galactus clearly respects him afterwards.

In DC when their costume is torn, that means they got beat up, yes. Look at DOS Superman, his shirt was virtually torn all the way off, with no scratches on his chest, that meant he got beat up badly, and got humbled with but a single blast from Galactus.

You also neglect to mention that Galactus started off stating that he was at the hungriest he has felt in ages, meaning that he was trying to conserve energy as much as possible. Killing Darkseid would have cost him energy that was unnecessary to waste; in an arena event it would be totally different, as Galactus' goal would be to kill Darkseid, which he would do in 2 or 3 full powered blasts.

From what it looks like to me, Big G while hungry and Darkseid are about equal (Galactus being a bit more above him though). The thing is Darkseid had prep going into this fight, Galactus didn't. Galactus doesn't really need prep, Darkseid didn't hurt him at all. The main thing is that they both seemed to get was some respect out of the other (something it looks like Darkseid wanted from the beginning).

The poll above looks definitive, even if the arguments are not.

Ok I'm just going to correct some inaccurate statements that were made earlier about the Galactus/Darkseid fight

Now Darkseid created those monsters to jump Big G after his armies attacked him, but BEFORE Galactus blasted him. See this is what happened when Galactus landed on the planet...

Notice how Darkseid is still in good condition, and his clothes are still in good shape when he creates the monsters. So it happened BEFORE Galactus and Darkseid's face to face exchange.

THIS is what happened immediately following Galactus blasting Darkseid...

And that's the end of the book. So at no point, did Darkseid get the upper hand over Galactus after Galactus blasted him.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

I guess if he sees that and says anything, then it means he ignored my post.

Now, let's see how Darkseid brought down Surfer, and Galactus.
Also, he only stumbled Galactus with those drones. He didn't do so well when he tried to fight Galactus head on. Now, lets see how he kicks Galactus's ass. (keep in mind, I have the damn comic right in front of me right now)

Surfer seems to have been cheapshotted.

Darkseid kicks there asses all over the planet, then makes them leave. 🙄

Oh well.
I did leave out the Surfer getting healed scan though, as it was irrelevent. (just so I don't get corrected)

Yes but in your defense, Galactus is the one who took out SS first, not Orion or Darkseid.

Nope. Just saying what happened in the comic.

No, he stumbled from the assult and his immense hunger.

I think only from your perspective did Darkseid have the upper hand.
Ok, Darkseid created a ton of beings that happened to stumble Galactus.
Sure.
In the same comic, Darkseid got one shotted, so you think about who had the upper hand.

I know it's non canon.

So, shouldn't Darkseid have stood a better chance?
You can talk all you want about the people he created, but in the end Darkseid got tooken down.

He ducked under some attacks, fired some eye beams.
He got attacked from behind anyway.

No, you said at the start of the comic. It only happened 3 pages away.

Yes, considering I have shown how weak Galactus was in that comic. Also SS beat all of them. I'm sure if Galactus was going to try and destroy these guys he could have easily.
They even showed Surfer getting one shotted by Galactus in the same comic.

Yup. He healed Surfer right after he one shotted Darky.

The fact that DS is to stupid to give up, in no way changes the fight. Guy Gardener was still wanting to help with Doomsday after he got the shit beat out of him, but that doesn't change the fact that he got his ass whipped. We saw what DS's most powerful attack could do to Galactus when Galactus was ready, and we saw what happened when Galactus attacked back. Without the ALE, Galactus takes out DS EVERY time(unless DS has prep and attacks from behind while Galactus is busy).

I don't think Orion took out anyone did he?
Odd, since he's Darkseid's equal, should have short work of the Surfer.

Originally posted by darthgoober
Well Surfer pretty much kicked his ass, so if Orion is DS's equal, that explanes why he couldn't do much to Big G.

Originally posted by Juntai
I disagree, it was just a bad showing overall for Orion.
