Honestly, I don't know about that. Could it, generally speaking? Sure. As a definite? No. Validus is one of the toughest nuts to crack in DC (from the Silver Age, at least), and could really tank attacks that were uber in nature. GB might work. Or, to Thor's shock, might leave a very hurt, but still battle-worthy, Validus ready to lay a smack down...
BFR is the more reliable option for Thor...

That's what I mean. Setting and context are important. Like I said: it might work, but then again Validus might be able to tank it (would be very hurt, no doubt, but not out of the picture).
Between the talking about it, making the stand for it, and calling it forth, it took at least a minute or so for Thor to prep and raise the Galactus-effecting godblast, with Galactus not around to stop him. Will Validus give Thor that time? Also, Validus (ie, Silver Age) had those mental lightning bolts strong enough to rock anyone in DC.
