    I think Galactus is above most individual Celestials, though he rarely operates at a full tank.

    Fully fed her is supposed to rival Eternity.

    Which brings up a good point. Does anyone know the Cosmic Hierarchy?

    I assume it's

    TOAA
    (*Beyonders)
    Living Tribunal (multiversal)
    Eternity (multiversal)
    Other abstracts
    Celestials
    Galactus
    Watchers
    Elder Gods
    Odin
    Other pantheons' gods

    There's probably a lot im not accounting for
    Sure thing, iirc it was one of his first major losses and certainly helped define the skyfather power lever as well below so many celestials

    Of course given he's stood against Galactus since, who is generally above a single celestial is a bit tricky

    But that story certainly placed the space pantheon above the earth gods by some margin

    The Celestials have been downgraded significantly since Thor 300. Even as soon as a Thor 387 Mjolnir could crack their Armor. Now Thor all by himself could kill one with his axe.
    If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

    they did go back to their old power.

    Avengers 1,000,000 didn't stood a chance against them.

    Ish

    Certainly the axe was made to be a specific weakness of theirs, but due Richards had done similar with her power iirc

    The poor showing Vs the beyonders was very dire imo

    Very clearly The Beyonders were being set up as the ultimate power. The Celestials wouldn’t stand a chance. Especially in ambush, which was what happened.

    And yet Thor and Hyperion managed to take down two Beyonders hand to hand. Thor, who could barely even make a dent in a Celestial the first time he encountered them.

    No, the Celestials have been downgraded significantly. Which is kind of karmic payback, considering how Odin got nerfed for their benefit way back in Thor 300.

    Mjolnir cracked their armor, creating a small man-sized hole while Thor wore gloves and a belt that enhanced his strength, and went all out.

    I remember that story, Thor went all out and still lost. I'd hardly call that arc nerfing them.

    Though yeah, just an axe to kill one? Don't care how special, that's just poor writing

    I loved the story of Thor breaking into exetar

    Showed him as truly awesome, but still well outclassed

    The reformation of mjolnir by the celestials as a mark of respect for Thor's bond with the weapon shows how truly wrong all this unworthy story has been about his relationship with it, including the idea for was right and even Thor being god of the unworthy

    The celestials act in such matters even less than the watchers and are certainly on a par with their omniscience

    There was a lot 'truly wrong' with the unworthy arc, but I'd argue that the best thing was that people need redemption for their actions, not for the opinion of others.

    As far as I can tell, (amongst other things) Aaron's run has been about the idea that worthiness is a path and not a goal, something that must always be striven for. That's great...but you'd think Thor didn't need Gorr to comprehend that, given all that had transpired in his publication history

    Very much agree, he's always been on that journey

    That 'Gorr was right'
