Is the context in the Thor Annual#1 not mentioned?Didn't Oblivion stated that if Scrier and the Other fought near the Barricade, it will give what Oblivion what he wants.The destruction of the Multiverse due to Scrier and the Other fighting near the Barricade.BTW I'm not low balling but merely pointing out the circumstances involved.Scrier's and the Other's fighting near the Barricade is the equivalent of 2 guys with sledge hammers fighting each other inside the house.And the most important pillar of the house got hit accidentally due to the fight.Therefore collapsing the house in the process.That is the equivalent of Scrier and the Other fighting.Add Big G to the mix and it would speed up the process.
If it broke, it meant that they would fight each other.
And here the Other says that he will destroy the barricade and take what's his. If destroying the Barricade means destroying the universe... then what's he going to take?

All in all, the only thing attributed to the barrier is that it would free the Other forever which would cause them to fight.
A doorway was torn open which rendered him able to enter the 616 universe before that's brought up...

Is it even clear that "The Other" is separate from and independent of "Scrier"? Scrier was using The Other to somehow manifest Rachel, so might he not have been "manifesting" The Other, all along.Anyway, Galactus uber alles ✅
As for Rachel, Scrier used her to lure Thor to the battle.

The Surfer and Scrier built the barricade back in SS vol. 3, destroying it isn't what threatened reality.

This . Although I have to add that Scrier also mention's(on pg16) that Asgard's displacement weakened the barricade , giving the Other his opportunity(to strike) .

Sadly, the whole CW/CK affair is the most horrible legacy Pak could have left behind, after the masterful work with Hulk (and also, afterwards with Hercules).
whatever. the miniutae that we sometimes look for in the forum wrecks stories. maybe that was the first appearance of "multi-oblivion!!1!"
marvel's f'd up cosmology aside: i thought the issue was awesome!! i think the point of the entire issue was to take it with something of a grain of salt. i'd be careful attributing any official retcons here. it was made abundantly clear over and over that scrier is perhaps the LEAST reliable of narrators and his word is not to be trusted. in fact the only LESS reliable narrator--we are led to believe--is oblivion himself. i think it was very cleverly written. a great, fun story that can be utterly undone at any point by simply saying any of them lied about it! 😂 it's been a long time since i was entertained by a book like that--and at least the battle lived up to the hype unlike the sh!t with odin and galactus. the other versions of thor and ss were uber cool too.
i love scrier, enjoyed learning he is as old as the multiverse and as powerful as i'd hoped they'd make him. and hope to see a lot more of him.
