Odin then reverses the Celestial Mechanics/Time (Didn't need the power apparently, just a test):

I certainly do. I have an exceptionally firm grasp of the English language, and the ability to interpret context.
I can also sense when someone is cherry picking a phrase to further an agenda.
I'm not reading that scan as Odin saying he doesn't have time manipulation powers (which would be refuted by actual evidence, on panel, to the contrary of this 'statement'😉. I'm reading it in the statements full context:
Odin's essentually standing up on a pulpit warning the Asgardian people of an imminent threat about to befall them, and says, in flowery speech, that even with all his power he is unable to provide the Asgardians more time to prepare for this coming calamity, so they need to get ready for the battle to come.
I may not debate as often as I did back in the old days but don't get it twisted, I read enough of the threads to know what you're about Phil, and I can bring it if necessary.
It's better to quit while you're ahead.

"Time is the one thing the All-Father cannot control.".
It doesn't get more direct than that, I'm afraid to say.

Gotta love how you cherry picked his post. He already adressed that point read it again.

Yeah and if tomorrow Flash was written as saying he can't go past light speed would you let that be used as evidence that he couldn't?Didn't think so.
Originally posted by bikerI know. It was simply made to prove a point.
first of all didnt happen so dont asume things vs things that happened, second of all flash got feats to prove he is faster than the speed of light unlike odin who... when did he ever display controling time? and no dont give me king thor i am speaking of odin himself
That the person I directed that post at is using this as evidence that Odin can not do something despite him doing it before in the past, refer to Rage's previous scans to prove it, and that I know if such thing were shown about another character that poster liked he wouldn't use it as evidence like he is now.
His statement is simply trying to further his own agenda on a statement that has already been proven false by what Odin has previously done.
