Right, but how else would you debate on the character? If you were debating with Pr for example and his position was Superman could beat Galactus...well, yes he could, given proper circumstances.
But what circumstances? We almost have no choice but to impose defined levels.
Otherwise every thread would be like "how hungry is Galactus"
"xx could beat Galactus if he were starving" etc. etc.
I know you're speaking against defined levels, what I'm arguing is that "forum Galactus" is not the same as "comic Galactus." And it doesn't have anything to do with picking high feats vs. low feats. It's acknowledging the context of the story; he's hungry or whatever.
In a forum battle, Galactus can get hungry/near death to the point where strange can cripple him, etc. But to throw up those scans as some kind of low showing is irrelevant because the battle doesn't start with G in that state. I argue that they only get relevant if the debater successfully supports his position that x character can wear Galactus down during the battle to the same point where Thor can bring him to his knees with a single hammer strike; i.e., when he's near death.
But a lot of posters don't get that. That's why I think for debating purposes there are defined levels.

Like I said, it's mostly a construction of the forum community. There's 1-2 obscure, vague feats that people have extrapolated into meaning way too much for the sake of a shared vocabulary on the forums. Be careful with such things.Like the Eternity comment that was mentioned. One idle comment about a character with decades of history, and it's become a full-on power level for Galactus on the forums. We know he can fluctuate somewhat, we do have evidence of that in spades, but if anyone tells you exactly where Galactus is power-wise at certain sustenance levels, they're deluding themselves. There are not concrete levels, and likely far less deviation between his best and worst than most would state.
A Galactus with no regards for the universal consonance has been shown to be able to devour the OMNIVERSE (reality). On a side note, he has also retconned the universe.
Universe is synonymous for Eternity, minus Galactus, who is not part of it.

He has a pimp gun that put him over Eternity and Death. Without it, he's below.Also, he's far more powerful that skyfathers, since the only thing they can do is knocking themselves on him.
The without it part is irrelevant, since it is as much part of him as his heart itself.
Lold at the last sentence 😆

Full Power: Eternity Level, which has been stated in comics.
No Pis involve Galactus should be one of the most powerful being in the Universe, period.
Totally agree. Full powered Galactus is equal to Eternity. Of course Eternity would out last him but he's still at that level when he's fully powered up.
With the Ultimate Nullifier Galactus is even more powerful than Eternity level beings but of course still below the Infinity Gaunlet.
