Well it's a little unfair to call them repetitive for a story that hasn't even been told yet isn't it?
Not if Thanos appears, he usually does the same stuff.
"Oh, you know Thanos will come back and whup everyone's asses. Than the universe will end. And the universe will be reborn.
That sounds familiar..."

But Starlin isn't writing this so the whole Thanos defeats everyone and becomes a god isn't going to happen. And from what I read it seems to be more of ww2 feel type of story. Major alien race blitzkrieg and starts war with everyone else. fellow Allies and enemies join forces to destroy said alien race.

I love cosmics. I love reading ways the writer tries to make you relate to someone who isn't human or has ever seen Earth.It's hard writing cosmics, but the pay off is worth it.
problem i have with cosmics is that you keep needing to come up with 'conveniently created' uber-powers to battle them, and you often need silly plot devices to have the hero win. it's funny -- in the literary world, authors are told to stay AWAY from characters readers/real people can't relate to, but cosmics DO seem to be enjoyed by a lot of people.
i liked them more when there were fewer of them. if they are well written, i like them, but i find they are seldom well written. it also gets a bit tiring having the 'universe/multiverse/megaverse' at astake every issue. i agree with an earlier post -- too much repitition. wonder what new uber weapon/device (ig, hotu) will be developed this time 'round.
seems marvel is less and less about story, and more and more about making their heroes over-powered and coming up with too-lofty plots.

That's good, too.Cosmics are normally so powerful, they just smash through planets with ease.
😱 Maybe Champ gets a series!
Maybe D.C. cosmics .... this is far beyond marvel cosmics 😏
Until the recent Storm breaker saga, semi cosmic characters (i.e. below Thanos) had destroyed about two planets in total. To say they go smashing through planets is an exaggeration .... I'm not too keen, seeing brightly coloured energy blasts flying about the place, maybe if marvel made their characters do other stuff i would be more interested !
