And I'm not even sure if it's a good idea to begin with.From an analytical point of view, let's assume Galactus thinks about Imperiex pre-fight or during the fight. Imperiex is the big bang and entropy incarnate. Erasing him might END THE UNIVERSE. And even Galactus can't tank the big bang if he breaks the armor. It's a catch-22.
If he breaks the armor, he dies in the blast. If he erases Imperiex, the universe flares out in a temporal paradox taking him with it. Assuming he can erase him in the first place.
Somebody other than Mr. Schmuck bait incarnate want to comment on this idea?

To thought #1, I do not believe Galactus would die. It killed Superman, sure. But they were counting on cracking his armor in order to restore the galaxies he absorbed.
To thought #2, Imperiex wasn't the 'omni-temporal threat'. B-13 was. Yes, Imperiex was fighting him at the end of the universe. In that future timeline. And he was beaten. So there would be no paradox if he was beaten in the present timeline.

Completely missed the point, eh? 🙄 Using your 'interpretation' there is no problem.
However, if we read the actual book, we see Imperiex is the big bang and part of the original big bang. Therefore, yes there is a problem with causality. And since Galactus himself has said he would need to leave the universe at the end (assuming that is canon), I'm assuming he can't tank the armor shattering.
Can Galactus tank a big bang? IMO, hell nah.
Would there be a causality problem if he erased Imperiex? I have no idea, hence why I'm asking.
