That's still THREE PEOPLE : Galactus + TWO others = THREE BEINGS. As opposed to an unawakened Odin vs Seth, which are only TWO BEINGS.
I've brought it up before when I was arguing with Rage. If we accept third party comments (Oblivion, Dr. Strange, Jean Grey, Surfer) or the Narrator then the Odin/Seth and Galactus/Scrier/Other death matches outdid the entire Cosmic Hierarchy (which INCLUDED Galactus) vs Thanos (and then later Nebula) with the IG in power output.

Jean Grey said that before Seth even fought Odin...
Don't recall the narrator saying it, but he did in the Galactus fight (Oblivion), along with Rachel, Scrier, and seemingly the Other.
What the **** does that matter when it's Galactus fighting these two beings? One was throwing planets at Galactus like the Celestials did against Thanos, and the other (heh, what a stupid name) was doing stuff.... The two on their own were capable of destroying the universe apparently, and add in Galactus fighting both of these guys... Yeah.
Then you changed your mind earlier when it suited your needs, because it used to be the reason Odin was firmly above Galactus in your opinion.
Either way, collateral damage isn't a good basis for power, that I agree with, however, it also doesn't mean something is badly written (especially when you're using one of the most powerful battles in comics that was only like star system level as your defense). It's just subjective in comics. You can't write everything as universe destroying.
You know what was really badly written though? Seth partaking in a battle that threatened anything. That guy is terrible.
