Wow, what an argument.
A Celestial physically altered Galactus in a way Galactus was unable to change on his own. The combined might of the entire skyfather pantheon was unable to punt a dent in a Celestial, while Thor by himself was able to Godblast Galactus into submission.
A Celestial? You make the Dreaming Celestial sound as if the guy was your average Celestial. He was one of the top tier among the Celestials.
So Thor put Galactus down with a godblast; he broke through a Celestial according to you. Thor is above Galactus and Celestial - and the entire pantheon of skyfathers.
Celestials show reality warping, the ability to physically unhinge planets out of orbit and throw them like weapons (while Galactus has trouble against people like Ego, who did worse against GLADIATOR of all people).
:laughs: He Ego didn't have trouble with Gladiator. The Shi'Ar starship attacked Ego (which didn't do much) while Gladiator, however, was blitzing Ego at lightspeed - Kallark was damaging Ego but nothing serious. Kallark was but a pest; the fact the Gladiator did it against Ego was a feat.
Phoenix had Galactus on the ropes, while Phoenix with the combined mental power of the planet Earth was only able to muster enough power to destroy a Celestial's hand (which he subsequently regenerated). Galactus seems to just go around creating beings nearly powerful enough to kill him. wow! Can you say "overrated"?
Hahahaha, Galactus was there to consume. You wanna compare a hungry Galactus to a Celestial? Please don't bring sh!ts like that in. Phoenix didn't do anything to Galactus; was any of Galactus' limbs even destroyed?
Galactus is filled with low end showings. Celestials have but one.
? Of course he's gonna have low end showings, he's appeared more than the Celestials. What's your point?
*shrug* So did Odin's fight with Seth. That earns Galactus a lofty place as a SKYFATHER.
Are you cold? Odin and Seth's fight only SHOOK the multiverse, it didn't destroy galaxies.
A stalemate is the best you can muster as evidence of G's might? Pfft. He couldn't even hurt Agamotto because G was limited to PHYSICAL attacks.
? Neither did Agamotto hurt him. And of course he was hurting Agamotto, he was blasting parts of Agamotto off but it didn't stop it. Agamotto couldn't do sh!t against Galactus either, even in it's own realm.
All he did was break some of Aga's stuff, which pissed him off. He didn't do any damage to Aga AT ALL. He also stalemated Mephisto in his own realm...Black Panther BEAT Mephisto in his own realm.
Neither did Agamotto rid Galactus from his realm as it wanted. He stalemated Mephisto until he started devouring Meph's realm. Guess what happened then? Mephisto gave up. Blank Panther? Please, you make it sound as if Panther went into hell and physically battled the demon. BP used spells to capture Meph on Earth plane. Strange has done the same thing, with ease, evoking Meph, binding him, and blindfolding him. Meph is weak out of his dimension - Galactus kicked his butt in it's hell realm.
Um...congratulations to him. He creates beings less powerful than he is. Yippee.
You're being dillusional again. I guess I better call Batman and Arkam Asylum.
The point is, Magneto's upper limits of his shields aren't known. Assuming Thor could even land a godblast, there's no telling how the shields will hold. It wouldn't even matter - Magneto would just redirect it with a wormhole. Galactus was too stupid to have his shields up.
Redirect? Boy Maggy's fast.
Pity he didn't do it against Thor....would have saved him a beatdown.
Oh, the crappy writing excuse again, huh? Juggernaut not being taken down by a godblast is crappy writing, how about that?
?Yes, because going by your logic Juggernaut and Magneto's shield > either Galactus or a Celestial. 🙄
I might add that Thor almost killed Galactus TWICE, in two separate eras. Both crappy writing?
When? And when? Thor's also kicked Surfer's ass. And we all know Surfer would punk Magneto, so would Loki, Mephisto, and Pluto.
Don't take it up with me, take it up with Thor. He said that as he was floating around in the celestial, he came to understand that the Celestial let him do it so they could examine his hammer while it was all inside of the Celestial. They exist in all places at once, so him cracking their armor and jumping in made no difference. They set the whole thing up, and when they were done exploring the hammer, the Celestial summarily dismissed him from its body.
Really, then don't bring it up as a strength level for Thor to further your argument for Magneto's shield.
Thor explained that Celestials represent the next order of magnitude in the overall power pantheon. Marvel seconded that in their own letters page. So the only sources that compare a Celstial to Galactus both agree that Celestials are more powerful.
You mean by Thor writters right? It doesn't mean all of Marvel does. And why are you bringing up top tier Celestials against hungery versions of Galactus.
He was mind-controlled by Moondragon. Xavier communicated with him telepathically. Both of these are telepathic in nature. OF COURSE Thor can be mind-controlled by more than magic means. To think otherwise is ridiculous, even for you.
Moondragon is top level telepath with the Mindgem. Xavier is also. And him communicating with Thor doesn't mean he can control Thor. And are you saying Magneto's mind control is on Xavier or Moondragon's level. 🙄
Untrue. Telepathy creates a physical effect on the brain chemistry - you are essentially telling your mind to alter its own electrical impulses. A person with strong enough resistence can prevent their minds from sending that signal to itself. But if you control the electrical impulses directly, there's no issue of willpower to deal with - you're telling telling someone to alter their own electrical impulses...you're doing it for them. Physical mind control is FAR more powerful than telepathy.
To a degree. Once you move up to superbeings who's biology is far superior, Magneto ain't going to pull it off like telepaths. It's not just entering ones mind, ever heard of the astral plane? You seem to think it's just about telling ones mind to alter its own electrical impulses, it's more than that in comics. You think Magneto can alter Thor's mind easier than if Moondragon did it? Again, asgardains have superior biology to humans, Thor's far above normal asgardians. Hell, his father is a skyfather while his mother is an Elder God. Your average asgardian can lift only 2 to 3 tons. Thor is class 100 and is as tough as any brick.
But you know what Thor has? A mind. And from what I've seen, Thor's mind operates like every body else, not any faster. Magneto's isn't mindcontrolling Thor like Loki or Enchantress, not even close to Xavier and moondragon.
