Originally posted by leonidasi hear you, and i've acknowledged that normal galactus MAY be able to do what the altered galactus could do. from what i've seen of galactus, he would never willingly consume the amount of energy it would require to match the DC. COULD he? maybe. i've never seen him do it, of his own volition. and supposing for a moment that he WAS capable, why on earth would the DC let him ever GET to that point? it's not like g just walks up to cosmic entities and sucks their energy. and it's not like the DC would sity idly by and WATCH him consume energy to match him.
had the stip in the match been full-power g (whatever THAT is) then . . . i'd have styed out of the thread. i presume this is standard galactus. every case i've heard FOR him implies he needs to amp to get to DC's level -- no reason DC would LET him amp.
Makes sense, but at the same time remember Galactus didn't reach a point,
he was simply devouring space and time uncontrollably,
he never even passed that alternate universe (though that outcome was definite)
the Black Celestial was absorbed likewise,
and it didn't take Galactus absorbing the entire Universe,
to reach the point where he could absorb Taimut.
so imo, he can absorb Taimut again from the get,
assuming he can kick in that mad feeding frenzy at will.
Originally posted by leonidastenebrous has a decent case with a hyperspace attack, but it seems the DC could counter that given its level of power and its supposed 'unkillability'. a whole HOST couldn't do more than put him to sleep.
That's a technical debate and requires more thought.
Originally posted by leonidaswe've seen celestials attacks billions of times/sec against the beyonder on many levels of reality simultaneously.
a universal reality warper says celestials are well beyond him
(if it was as easy as a hyperspace attack, i'd think kubik wouldn't be so impressed by them . . .)
True, but we've never seen Celestials manipulate universes either,
yet we know they are above universal warpers.
Same could be said about truly written normal Galactus,
especially when we see 616 Galactus,
with the authority to erase universal concepts like the PF.
Originally posted by leonidaswhen g failed against the goblin force the celestials stopped it (though they had the numbers, but still, that speaks to a measure of hierarchy to me).
Yea but at the expense of the devastation of their entire race.
I think it's interesting how Uatu says,
"Even mighty Galactus fell"
