--quanch says NO IT ISN'T! it is ONLY viable in that SINGULAR CONTEXT that was shown.
and then you say you're NOT going against a nod's decision?? 😑 have you been listening to yourself?
doesn't matter that odin SHOWED THE SPELL IN BATTLE. according to you he is limited STRICTLY to that SPECIFIC context. so hulk can only shockwave against those specific people we've seen him do it against? supes can ONLY use speed against those he was SHOWN to use it against? makes sense.
and the ultimate irony--you say you're not feat-based in your debating! yet, you're unwilling to acknowledge as usual that this feat could easily and logically be performed in the middle of any battle where odin or asgard is in deadly danger.
sigh.
Wow you really don't comprehend what you read at all.
Loki was inhabiting the destroyer. There was no way for Odin to defeat the destroyer without finding Loki's whereabouts.

Balder then came in as he located Loki and this is when Odin momentarily froze time to send something like a beam of forgetfulness to Loki so the destroyer fell harmlessly to the ground.
All right on panel. Loki was his threat and since he wasn't there he froze time to get to Loki because without attacking who was animating the armor Odin was done for in this comic.
I have never argued that Odin can only use these powers against said Loki I only mean to say only in these types of circumstances would he ever do so.
It's not in character for Odin to timefreeze while battling someone directly in front of him. Loki was safely away from Odin lost until Balder located him and then Odin acted quickly and attacked the source Loki.
Context. 🙂
It is a viable tactic in these circumstances but to say otherwise is to ignore all 99 percent of his other battle feats and ignore the context of why he even did so in this scene.
