This is my problem with this "canon evidence" movement that has afflicted the board as of late. This instance and the way it's being interpreted as 'evidence' of LT not being powerful is a farce. The terms "ultimate", "invincible" and "unstoppable" get tossed around in comicdom like e pills at a rave. It means nothing more than the writer wanting to be dramatic in the dialogue.
Tribunal blowing up the Sun to destroy Earth and Korvac, and Korvac erecting a forcefield (or Death or Shaper of Worlds erecting a forcefield, the origin of the field isn't depicted) to protect the Earth from the explosion of the Sun, does not in any way shape or form allude to the extent or limits of LT's power. It just means someone (either Shaper, Korvac, or Death) can erect a forcefield that can withstand a supernova.
If I throw my shoe at a book in an attempt to get the book to fall over and crush an ant, but the ant is able to survive the book falling over on it, and then I inexplicably give up on the endeavor, does that mean the ant is beyond my ability to kill it and I don't posess the power to simply walk over and step on the ant directly if I so chose to do it?
LT still quarantined the [b]entire universe
after that incident. What would have stopped him from simply sealing off Korvac independently so he couldn't effect the rest of the universe? It's obvious LT still had the power to erect a field Korvac was powerless to penetrate, it's stated and depicted on the same page.Plot induced stupidity gets the gasface. 👇
This is too slippery of a slope man. You can't use plot driven instances of fictional events ('feats'😉 as concrete evidence of the outcome of hypothetical situations. Especially in direct inference to characters like Living Tribunal and The One Above All whose very premise within the fiction lends to them not having many 'feats' in the first place, let alone appearances at all.

Youre still missing the point. Im not doubting LTs power but his freedom to apply it. While its true that terms like "ultimate" are bandied around comicdom LT doesnt have another output of power to allow us to attribute the wording as mere hyperbole or the showing as a whole as PIS.
As aforementioned there could be limits as to how much LT can get involved in a situation physically. His tendancy to employ other powers to deal with cosmic threats as opposed to getting involved himself just supports that.
LTs role is to maintain the balance of power in realities and to protect them. As such he may be restricted in the amount of power he may be allowed to apply in dealing with a situation. The IG situation where he talked Adam out a confrontation can also be used to support this notion.
Regardless he stated it was his ultimate punishment, that he could do no more for that universe and then he fled. LTs true power level remains a mystery however for now the Korvac situation has given us a limit which has yet to contradicted on panel. Not debatable.
