I don't get this
Not only is Thor a guardian of earth
He is also the heir to one if the most powerful thrones in the galaxy/universe (?)
Yet Superman is also a named guardian, but what else does he have?
A shrunken city and an asteroid field somewhere in the depths off space?

Abhi never misses an opportunity to reduce Thor to the godawful Superman quote from a crossover equal parts stupid and predictable, or in this case an uninspired derivation of said quote. Wherever Thor is mentioned, there too is Abhi, ever steadfast, making sure everyone knows just how little he thinks of the character, if only to prop other characters up. There are many uncertain things in life- this is not among them.

Even The Reigning Thor is treated as an "alternate Thor", despite 616 Thor having memories of the event.
Which is why I hate Marvel time travel stories. That's one point where DC is less convoluted than Marvel, and you get to say Darkseid took over the world in Rock of Ages, and Orion built a genesis bomb that reset the universe, instead of writing the event off as some alternate universe versions with radically different power levels..

The only thing that stops me from completely agreeing with you is the fact that the issue showcased an alternate Galactus, of whom possessed a mostly unknown/ambiguous level of power. He certainly came off as immensely powerful, what with punching OKT through the earth and into the moon and all, but nothing he did in that comic puts him remotely close to his 616 counterpart's powerlevel. That said, it's really hard to gauge the exact level of impressiveness of OKT contending with him and whatnot, imo. /shrugDunno, I *think* the team wins, but I think it's a marginal victory, at best.

I understand this Galactus is lacking in feats, but he still is a "Galactus". He's a being that contained "the molten energies of a thousand worlds" as was shown in his battle with OKT. The fact that he KO'd the fukk out of OKT speaks volumes. And we all know what Gorr did to OKT along with Avenger Thor and Yong Thor..
If its a future derivation of 616 then should it not stand to reason that the only thing different about this 'alternate' Galactus is his age and experiences?
My House
It is that of one, built on a foundation of loss
Where though we may yearn for it
We know that to give up
Would be to make every sacrifice we have made null and void
it would mean to lose the respect off much exulted elders
As their sacrifice would mean nothing
And their last words, now our motto, will rung dull on uncaring ears
Our motto, you ask
As it is within our power
It is within our responsibility

Not with other future derivatives out there, like the Charnal-Verse where future Logan broke off a claw on Minion.. Or the future timeline where Genis-Vell marries Songbird and has a kid who he smothers in its crib..
All the time travel abuse, not to mention the What If's, made it necessary for Marvel to declare ALL alternate timelines as "not 616".

That fact isn't lost on me. However, all alternate futures/timelines/realities/universes, whichever you want to call it, have an origin point. Somewhere in the 616 a decision was made or an event happened that made this alternate future possible. It's therefor a derivative of the main continuity. I don't see why we should treat this particular instance differently on an as of yet baseless assumption that because it's not the 'main' timeline the characters involved must somehow be significantly different or possess an ambiguous level of power.
