Yeah, it matters. Godblast was never used against galactus by this retcon untill recent thor annual.
FYI the last time Thor using godblast against galactus was mentioned, it was in Thor 412 which came one month earlier to Thor annual 14 from which this scan is taken making this the final statement about that feat.
While this retcon is a bit silly, it's not stupid. Your interpretation of the statement is.
I don't even know how that makes sense. It was a long time before the God Blast even had an actual name. The intent is clear, the attack Thor unleashed against Galactus was powered by Odin. Anything more than that is you inserting stupid shit unnecessarily.
I haven't gotten to the spin that the comic was not an actual retcon of sorts because all of Thor's power is technically Odin's. Calling on the power of Odin is simply how Thor describes an attack that yet had no actual name or definitive trait. 🙂
Lol, okay I get it. Thor waved his hammer and summoned Odin to blast Galactus. I think that's an even more impressive ultimate move.
Actually, I'm pretty sure #412 was released a month after the annual. I'd have to double check my comics but you can find that info online if you want. Thanks for proving how utterly pointless and meaningless that little box of text is when it's ignored in the following month though.
