What are trying to get at? Yeah, Doom hurt Bob with a spell. Enough so that bad stuff was going to happen if Doom tried it again. Doom was wise enough not to try again.If your point is that the spell hurt Bob then yes it did. Enough to put him down or even matter? Not on Victors best day. If Tony wasnt there, Doom more than likely dies.
What I'm getting at is that it's kinda silly to act like magic in of itself doesn't effect Sentry when it clearly does and as far as Doom specifically goes, that single spell did a number on Sentry enough to cause him to be briefly incapacitated, and that was without Doom really trying that hard. Considering Doom has magical power far greater than what he displayed against Sentry in that specific moment, to say nothing of the means to attack him in ways other than his fragile pysche/spirit, which was what Doom commented on, to me, it just seems like a poor way of trying to downplay what happened.
It was enough to hurt him, that was the point, and Doom wasn't really trying that hard. Could he have voided out? Possibly. Could he have also been KOed or out for the count? Based on how sporadic Sentry during that time was, possibly. Sorry if I don't take Tony Stark's words as the gospel when it comes to Bob.
And as far as the team goes, I'm pretty sure "Esrepsid!" would play a massive number on Bob, regardless of his form.

i don't need to downplay it because it's self-evident that it's ultimately meaningless. what meaning does momentary emotional trauma hold for a character who (in respsonse) transforms into a monster that regenerates from death & destroys the attacker on a molecular level?he may not be immune, but the second arc of new avengers sure paints a different picture; dr strange was completely useless in that battle & could barely guard against void's attacks.
Except you've been downplaying what actually happened since you mentioned it. Emotional trauma doesn't translate into Void. During that time, it was just as likely, if not more so, than Bob would have BFRed himself to avoid Voiding out or would have been rendered incapacitated as this was around when he was getting his ass kicked by people like She-Hulk, Hercules, humilated by the Human Torch, etc. It's a good feat for Sentry that he was able to get his shit together and beat Doom at the end of the arc, but don't act like he was about to become the Void based off Iron Man.
Too bad we don't just cherry pick versions of characters to best suit our agenda, then.
