That's all moot anyway since you are trolling claiming that the Celestials wasn't trying to kill Thor.
No , Gaea influenced their judgement as pertains to Earth . Technically speaking , they had already destroyed Asgard by reducing the Destroyer to slag . Odin and the rest of the Asgardians' spirits were dismembered , hence Thor needing to acquire the power of the rest of the skyfathers(his experience with the Hindu pantheon created a major controversy with the Indian American community, to the point that his fight with Shiva had to be retconned as a fight with Indra) , to bring back the Asgardians .
It was shown very clearly in that arc that the Celestials were present only to pass judgement on Earth , and since they saw the Destroyer and Unimind as major hindrances to their goal , they decided to eliminate both .
Remember Odin , Zeus and Vishnu bowing to Arishem ? It wasn't just bowing for bowing's sake , they were also forced to make an oath to not interfere in Celestial affairs for the next millennium , and since these 3 represented all of earth's pantheons , therefore by extension , the rest of the pantheons were bound by this oath as well .

What the hell are you talking about? Where in the comic does it say the Celestials were only blasting as hard as Thor was blasting? Merciless means without mercy. That means they were blasting Thor with full prejudice. Do you even know English context? Doesn't matter if they viewed him as a threat they still tried to kill him. Otherwise why blast him in the first place. Again they already judged Asgard prior.
I can play that game.
Don't troll again and I mean it.
Thor : "For every blow that thou strike me down with.....I shall return the blow doubled in power" .
Considering that their blows didn't faze him completely and he continued to get back up and strike them back(although his blows were definitely not double their power) , I wouldn't say they were much stronger that Thor's own strikes .
Also , being "merciless" doesn't necessarily imply that they were being "murderous" or "fatal". You tell me to understand the context of what's written in the on-panel narration , yet it appears that you yourself suffer from this handicap .
An example : an interrogator can be "merciless" without being fatal . Same can be said about a sadist .
The Celestials were "villains" in this arc . Considering the brutal manner in which they had just dispatched the Destroyer , and the way they were dealing out blows to Thor , causing him great physical distress(but not outright killing him) , anyone who has even 3rd grade knowledge of graphic literature aka comics , knows how to understand the context behind a particular narrative , and has a good grasp of deductive logic , could see that the Celestials weren't even trying to kill Thor in this case . Nothing he could do(which included hurling the Odinsword at Arishem and we saw what was the result of that) could cause them any serious damage(apart from causing minor irritation) , and the manner in which they were striking him down clearly showed that they were playing around with him , as a weird sicko in real life would play around with an ant or a spider . IE , they were being vindictive , but not outright brutal the same way they had been with the Destroyer .
And again , they never judged Asgard , because they had only come to judge Earth . Asgard broke its vow not to interfere in their affairs , and in retaliation they eliminated it .

Using PIS feats as evidence to show a character winning or losing is against the rules. Posting PIS feats (with a smiley) in response to others posting PIS feats is not against the rules. Otherwise joking statements statements (especially about squirrel girl) would be disallowed. That is why we have smileys and english contextual understanding to let someone know we aren't serious.
However , you further justified those PIS feats , when they were pointed out to by another poster , and then accused said poster of trolling on a baseless ground , instead of simply admitting that you were joking , and letting everyone go on their own road .
Also , you can play whatever "game" you like or want to play . Its not going to faze me in the slightest bit .
Plus , don't accuse me of trolling on a baseless ground , ever again .
