I can see where you're coming from but I just don't understand why that one particular page is being held in such high regard if it's the anomaly so far. Everything before and after points to the being pretty close in power.
Fraction should have thrown in some coughs or stutters.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusPerhaps that was Fraction's way of drawing the proverbial 'line' between characters/powersets? ie. He had Odin pour all of his power into one final 'attack', then had Galactus essentially shrug it off. Maybe?

I just don't see it. Everything I've read points to the two not being that far apart and I think that's Fraction's view on the two. Most likely why he referenced Kirby/Lee so much during his interviews. I can't agree with that, not when Galactus was knocked out.
Seriously, people would have been like "OMG!!! Galactus is seriously hurting!".

They were both wrecked after that kamikaze attack by Odin. Galactus eventually reforms but Odin instead of reforming mysteriously goes into "Odinsleep" as his body goes limp, at least that's what Thor says/thinks.
Spoiler:
But according to the solicit for Mighty Thor 6 and the preview scans, Odin didn't go into "Odinsleep" his soul entered the Destroyer Armor. That's why his body was lifeless, it's not that he couldn't have reformed just as Galactus did, it's because his soul was elsewhere.As proof that this has happened before, look at the scan from Might Thor 300, when Odin and the rest of Asgard enter the Destroyer, their bodies are lifeless and Thor cannot detect any signs of life in Odin or the rest of the Asgardians, he thinks Ragnarok happened while he was out of Asgard :

People are acting like issue 5 concluded the fight, when nothing could be further from the truth. Odin couldn't beat Galactus straight up and neither could a fed and determined Galactus beat Odin.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusYou're entitled to your own opinions, but Galactus was definitely depicted as the stronger of the two- additionally, he wasn't depicted as having sustained any 'lasting' damage from their battle. Odin, on the other hand, overextended himself to such an extent that he was forced to enter the Odinsleep. To me, that equates to two very different levels of power. /shrug

It's amazing how differently some writers opt to depict characters. Fraction, for instance, writes Galactus as though he's little more then some random feeb cruising around for planets to eat. Opposite side of the coin, had someone like Abnett been writing Galactus like the true cosmic being he is, I doubt Odin would have even registered on his radar.

Thats the way I see it as well...
Sort of how the 2000ft Destroyer was doing damage to the Celestials, but they quickly recovered from anything done to them...
Same has happened (and its on panel) in this very arc against Galactus...

In Thor 300 Thor couldn't detect any signs of life coming from Odin also Odin didn't just smash into another Skyfather level being. The point is Thor couldn't detect any signs of life in Odin.

I love that depiction of Galactus. Sadly, that depiction seems to be the exception rather then the rule when it comes to Galan.
If I were Alex Alonso I'd issue a moriturum on all Galactus appearances that don't coincide with the Abnett and Lanning interpretation.

It is sad that that depiction is the exception...
Galactus is a major universal power...the middle force between Death and Eternity...logically speaking, he should be able to crush Odin with the same effort The Hulk could crush Bane.
But Marvel loves to job out Galactus; (in no particular order) Galactus, Eternity, Apocalypse, and The Champion...the jobber kings of the Marvel Universe.

Loeb is taking over Marvel cosmic starting in December and I cringe to think of the kinds of shenanigans we're going to be seeing when he does. I'll give the guy a chance though. At the very least he brings a big name to the books.

Maybe he'll use his terri-bad powers of fail-whalery to re-establish some cosmics as big dogs?
'Cause for all Rulk did, he got slapped down HARD by Galactus.

See that's kind of what we were getting at here. Wtf is a being like Galactus even bothering with a flea like Rulk for lol?
At least with the cosmic stuff he has some recent continuity to work with. It's fool proof. Mix up Rider with Earth stories a bit more. Bring back Star lord's Gotg. Firmly establish Nova as a high herald, but don't pis off the mob by having him go Rulk on peoples favorites. Leave Cosmic deities the hell ALONE! Shyte never satisfies anybody in the end. And please have Rider beat the hell out of Gladiator -for completely selfish and fanboyish reasons 😄-

your ability to misrepresent is documented in the above and contributes to forum-myth. YOU are exactly the ONLY person i've ever reported--and my first report happened about..... 2 hours ago. so congrats on being my first. 🙂 and of course this is supposed to be fun--lying and misrepresenting information does not fall into that category however.
you don't get it--you don't debate civilly. you feign civility, but your stance (whatever stance) is consistently immoveable because you fail to look at what ACTUALLY happened. and of course your blind fanboyism might as well be axiomatic in your world.
the battle didn't end in 2 pages because..... it was the intent of the author to show they were close in power. 😐
so, any time a battle takes a long time and it is close, it's NOT because the opponents are close in power, but rather it's only done for suspense? gotcha. brilliant.
congrats again on showing how little you know about the destroyer. your lack of knowledge does explain the wrongness of your stance though, so at least i can excuse your opinion as simply ignorant and not deliberately misleading.
the battle was close. no one who looks at the scans rationally and without bias can say differently. but continue to spout your nonsense to your hearts' content. cheers
Originally posted by MindsetHere's one person who agrees Galactus is well beyond Odin and the comic further proved it. You can continue to say I am misrepresenting it but I'm no Galactus fanboy and others also agree. I won't waste my time debating with you leo as you tend to taddle I tend to shrug things off whether you disagree or not.
Uh yea...it does.Galactus got up like nothing happened.
Odin was lying on the ground like he got ran over.
Delusional.
Originally posted by Galan007Yet someone else who agrees that Galactus shoved it off and popped right back after Odin went to sleep. It's not me alone. I won't really respond to you since you'll just call a mod in and say I am misrepesenting again when two other posters agree with my assessment you continually say I am lying about.
