True, but a door is a door is still a door.DS used the OE and Galactus was unfazed. In retaliation, a characteristic "nonchelant" blast from Galactus sent DS flying. Now at the end of the day both characters survived the other's attack, but objectively speaking, DS used his best attack, while Galactus blasted him away with indifference. There were several pages between DS being blasted, and when he finally emerges from the rubble. The OE lasted just 1 panel.
I don't know why the crossover is being discussed. And arguing the constructs would have defeated Galactus is speculation at best...Surfer was able to defeat them after G was taken off-guard. A few panels later, G either incapacitates or strips Surfer of the power cosmic...if he can so quickly dispatch SS, what would he do to the constructs?
anyway if people continue discussing the crossover I will post more scans from the comic.
DS used the OE to reality manip he was removing Galactus from one plane of existence and sending him to oblivion where his hunger could never be sated.
People act like it was a direct physical assault, it wasn't. When you're trying to remove people from their reality you are not playing with simple physical attacks. So the fact that Big G wasn't affected means that he resisted reality manipulation.
DS had already tried the physical assault with his ships and the constructs.
DS constructs weren't durable but they had adapted to Big G after he had expelled the first few. The constructs were a purely offensive counter measure, their only purpose was to bring down Big G and they had the energy to do it.
They were doing a good job of overwhelming Big G until SS blasted them in the middle of their offensive.
