Re: Galactus vs Earth Pantheons - Whom Gods Destroy

So what would happen in these scenarios? Average Galactus arrives on earth to feed. Earth's heroes attack but are defeated. Who would come out victorious - Galactus or Gods:1) Earth's godly pantheons enact the giant Destroyer gambit against Galactus, just as they did against the Celestial Host.
2) Forget the giant Destroyer - all earth's pantheons, led by Zeus, Odin, and Vishnu launch an all-out direct attack on Galactus as he constructs his feeding machine. So this is several dozens of Skyfathers and their pantheons. They can use whatever godly weapons their realms have to offer. Odin transfers the entire population of earth safely to another dimension to protect them during the battle (as he did once long ago).
3) Earth's elder gods are pissed off. Gaea, Set, Chthon, Demiurge, Oshtur, and all the other Elder Gods and all earthly demons launch an all-out attack on Galactus.
4) Same as 2, but they call on their cousins the Shi'ar, Kree, Zenn-La, and Skrull pantheons to assist in the attack.
Man, you must really hate Galactus.
1) The Odin Destroyer breaks him.
2) Lol.
3) Lol.
3) Lol.
This thread exemplifies the massive amount of fail these writers have when writing cosmic characters...
Odin, Zeus, Vishnu, and the rest, are Earth level Gods; on a universal scale, the Earth and everything on it combined are absolutely nothing in comparison (the writer of the Celestials got it right in that sense; Earth level Gods should have no prayer against Cosmic Beings)...
With Galactus being a major universal power (the middle force between Death and Eternity), Earth and everything on it should be nothing more than a snack (and nothing more) to him...
Hell, simply for Galactus to do his cosmic job properly, he should be capable of defeating an entire world (includes all of its deities) at once; surely Earth isnt the only planet in all of creation to stand up and defend their homeworld...
But, rational logic (unfortunatelly) has no place in comic book and Marvel loads Marvel Earth up with PIS and wanks the living hell out of it to make it relevant (see Reed and Franklin Richards among countless other Earthlings) while simutaneously jobbing out cosmic characters like Galactus and Eternity...
In conclusion:
Comic Book logic on...Galactus gets spite stomped in every senario.
Comic Book logic off...Earth gets spite stomped in every senario.
Side note: The "Ultimate" comics got Galactus right. In the Ultimate Universe, Galactus is simply an entity that hates all organic life (and thus seeks it out and kills it off where ever it can find it); it consumes the energy from a planets core as it must replenish its power to continue the cycle...
If the writers at Marvel had any intellect and any desire to inject 'some' logic into a comic, 616 Galactus should follow a similar pattern as he does in the Ultimate comics; Galactus should also ONLY be a planetary level threat and NOT the universes middle force between Death and Eternity (and even then it should be capable of defeating a world and its Gods; it fails to be a planetary threat if its unable to do so)...
Furthermore, there should be multiple Galacti roaming the 616 universe performing this cosmic job; with life being as plentiful as it is in the Marvel Universe, there is no way in hell Galactus could properly do his job eatting only 1 planet every month or so...
