Yes.Because like I've been saying -- Galactus has yet to duplicate a feat like that, without any tampering.
It may show Galactus' potential -- but to date, it's a potential unrealized on his own.
Knowing the nature of Galactus' character I'm sure you'd realize that we'll probably see it as an "unrealized" potential for a while.
After all, when was the last time Eternity, Master Order, or Lord Chaos went around displaying destructive universal feats of power?
How would Galactus duplicate that feat? There has to be a specific story written for Galactus whereby a universal threat is so dire Big G resorts to consuming the universe before the threat takes residence.
With Galactus, it's not as simple to say as "he hasn't demonstrated x ability yet under his own power" when x ability has to do with destruction of the universe. Galactus maintains universal order, what possible context would he ever have to destroy that which he maintains?

But a greater question arrives,
would Galactus ever want to do that?I say no.
Galactus defends Reality ... I'm sure he doesn't want it consumed,
also, Galactus is an integral part of Reality,
Galactus refers to Eternity as his Father,
Eternity refers to Galactus as his equal in status.These simple reasons tells us,
it's unlikely we'll ever see Galactus make himself instatiable,
even if he could.
Yep.
That's exactly what I've been saying in every thread debating Galactus' power vs. Character X.
It's easy to say "Galactus hasn't demonstrated x ability" when x ability contradicts the nature of the character.
E.g. Captain America has not demonstrated the ability to kill 20 unarmed men on the street.
I'm not saying G (or for that matter, cap) can do it without question, I'm saying one can't rely on that argument as soundly as they would like.

G's never achieved such a feat without outside assistance, so we shouldn't just assume he can?Sweet. 👆 🙂
No.
Galactus can do that feat with his power/inherent abilities/capabilities, it's canon. Can he do it under his will, influence, and control? That's another question.
I. If we're debating whether character x can do feat y....if character x has done the feat, then the point is moot.
II. If we're debating whether character x can do feat y without external tampering, then it's inconclusive.
Certain posters use point II to discredit point I. Again it depends on the nature of the question, if it's strictly "can Galactus do x or y" then it's straight yes or no, depending on feats. There's an asterisk, in this case, but that shouldn't mean he can't do it, as some other posters are always quick to say.
Originally posted by TenebrousSince we can't answer those q's -- then why bother even bringing up the feat in question?

I say we just stick to what Galactus alone has done on panel.
Sound fair? 🙂

Then we have to take into consideration the "Last Galactus story"
So I ask you,
How would that really help him in a battle?
On a side note,
My rant about Galactus in this thread, is in no way an attempt at arguing for the DC side.

Galactus didnt die though, he opened his chest,
and out spewd the next Marvel Universe.
(Galactus became the embodiment of the Big Bang)

No comment ... I was just pointing out big G's greatest feat. 🙂
