This could yet be a false dawn. He's had moments when it seemed that Marvel had finally begun to write him to his proper stature (Annihilation and somewhat backhandedly with the Galactus Engine) and then he's been irrelevant in CK's big day out and also resurrected by Franklin.
One thing and one thing only is certain in Marvel's Universe. Hulk.Is.The.Strongest.One.There.Is.

Backhandedly? Dude remained in fight even after an extended period of time combating the GE and the other cancerverse creatures, long after the other cosmics had fled.That's as good a showing as one can get.
Nothing really in terms of him tanking blasts or serious focussed attacks, nothing of him decimating their side, even momentarily, like say a huge solar system destroying blast...
Galactus' high end feats have been reduced to this? A few measly panels where he survives longer than other entities and isn't particularly having any success...
What happened to shaking the universe or endangering everything with his hunger?
Not at all impressed. Even the Scrier stuff was more impressive, atleast on the hyperbolic level.

He was floating about, a few blasts, Surfer talking about how Galactus and the Celestials were fighting the Cancerverse on many levels and basically that was it.Nothing really in terms of him tanking blasts or serious focussed attacks, nothing of him decimating their side, even momentarily, like say a huge solar system destroying blast...

You're on dope if you legitimately think that this isn't one of his most impressive showings in an entire decade or so.

Yes Aegis died, on-panel, after a direct attack from them but what direct attack did Galactus endure? What actually did he do?
It'd be the equivalent of Hawkeye or IM being the last man standing after The Avengers get decimated by Thanos. It's not that he's been awesome and resisted everything Thanos threw at him, it's just that he wasn't the focal point of Thanos' efforts.
I was hoping to see Galactus actually confront the GE for a few panels (at the least) and make some headway, nothing happened.

And he was still at that point of time not completely overcome by the GE, but actually managed to fight it by himself. With Surfer still having faith in Galactus defeating the GE. I agree with TGK, this is one of, if not Galactus best showing, in many years.
As for the thread ... Merger ftw 馃槢

That much has been pretty clear for the last 2-3 years or so now.Now that the Celestials have officially taken over the pedestal of the "Cosmic Jobber", it leaves Galactus freer to engage in scenes of pure badassery.
As a fan of both the Celestials and Galactus, it saddens me to see the Celestials job so much now. 馃檨
Jobbing LT is a whole other thing, it should never, never happen.

Watchers (like Celestials) aren't quite what they aught to be, nowadays.

The Cancerverse fight was hardly like the Hawkeye red herring, as all the Cosmics were pooling their full might to just hold back the GE, and Galactus continued to do so after all his peers had abandoned him.

No, the larger clusterphuck is what Hickman is doing to the LT. That guy is a phucking disaster.
As to the thread, 616 Galactus wins.

The supposed off-panel nature of the fight was in line with the Surfer's earlier observation that the battle was occurring on higher metaphysical levels of reality that the lower-level heroes couldn't even begin to comprehend. How in the hell does that mean that it's an unimpressive showing by any means is beyond me.The Cancerverse fight was hardly like the Hawkeye red herring, as all the Cosmics were pooling their full might to just hold back the GE, and Galactus continued to do so after all his peers had abandoned him.
What I'm asking is, where are the high-end feats of actual power. The universe shaking, the omniverse threatening power of Galactus??
I don't see this as "best feat in a decade" or even close. Atleast there was more raw power displayed by him during Annihilation wave and the news that he alone decimated the Proemial Gods and then imprisoned the survivors of his war against them, that was pretty heavy order.
Also, the fight with Scrier and threatening the universe, again pretty heavy order. Where Galactus belongs
When a being of his stature begins to fight, the universe should be imperilled by every strike.

That fight is indeed one of Galactus' top feats in a long time, and a lone maverick opinion doesn't change this undeniable fact.
