People routinely underestimate galactus here. "normal" galactus had Thanos on his knees begging for mercy. Odin wouldn't fare too much better.
Galactus has absorbed ALL of the elders of the universe (minus collector, I think?) at the same time just by allowing his hunger to "consume" them. Odin wouldnt fare much better.
Ummm actually that was a WELL-FED Galactus and he exerted a lot of vital energies just piercing it. In fact, he stated he's never had to work so hard to break a mere forcefield. So, if a well fed galactus has to work that hard just to break Thanos's shield... what on earth makes you think it will be easy to then beat Thanos and Odin combined?
the rest of his career. claiming breaking through thanos forcefields weakened G or posed a real challenge to him is a joke and thanos was begging for his life afterwards.
For example, you must exert yourself to perform 10 jumping jacks from a totally sedentary, docile position. Hardly impossible, and more of a nuisance than something that you have to challenge yourself to do.
Also keep in mind the fact that a second blast would have ended Thanos' life, and it's not really something to doubt whether he can do it or not even with Odin there. i.e., it's well within his capability to pierce all Thanos' shields in 1 shot. 75% Galactus is only 25% away from Full Power.
As for Odin, well, he'll face Galactus directly in Mighty Thor #4, so let's see then.

Anyways, the statement stands and was validated by Big G himself. After stating he's never had to exert himself so much to pierce a forcefield... he then mentioned needing to go feed to get those nutrients back. Point is, from the horses mouth, a well fed Galactus had to feed again simply by trying to break Thanos's shields.
What Kurupt said. Galactus would deplete himself piercing Thanos' shields (exactly as he did ON PANEL before), Odin then blasts his head off. Colossus cheerleads from the sidelines.
Team for the majority.

G showed a single blast could kill a regular skyfather in chaos war - from his mouth as well - and thanos would have been killed with one blast after his shields were gone. people who believe G would be exhausted to the point of being out of combat by the power necessary to finish these 2 are delluded. G wiped the annihilation wave, killed a watcher, totally drained Annie with the qbands (infintie powersources), desroyed 3 star systems on panel and, according to a later comic, actually swept the gaklaxy clean of life in a single blast while starved next to death. it is ludicrous to believe a high skyfahter and a high trans/low skyfather can beat him.
he was not visibly weakned at all after breking thanos shields. this is reaching beyond sadness
He needed all the energy he had so he could manipulate the infinity gems to do his will.
The context is that Galactus was not in it for the fight and if he didn't have a superior objective to achieve, he could have continued.
In other words, he needed to be in optimal condition to execute his plans with the infinity gems. Conflict with Thanos nullified that situation.
That doesn't mean he would lose or that he was unable to do it. And let's be clear on what he says by exert: Galactus is an arrogant character. He's dismissing Thanos' shields as much as praising them, due to the fact that he actually had to exert himself. Both parties knew what the result would be of a second follow-up blast, that he was well on the way to prepare and be willing to do.
And let's be clear that "depleting vital energies" is NOT unanimously synonymous with "extremely weak." You can deplete energies that are dedicated to a specific task, which need to be replenished. You could sprint for 5 blocks and deplete vital energies that you need to run a 2 mile marathon immediately after, but that does not mean in any fashion that you are weak or even near death, obviously.
