See, now this feels like you're trying to use Gladiator to re-litigate the World Breaker stuff from the other thread. It's not really good form to do that, especially since you got kicked from that thread.

As I recall from the discussion, stressing that I have no real interest in getting into this specifically, is that Hulk was charged with magical energy such that we can see it coming of his body, said magical energy had dramatically amped other characters in the story, ergo the feat is to be taken with some salt.

The fact that the Dr Strange story has lots of actual shenanigans going in it, where literal reality warps at times, magic is infused with science, certain characters are literally changed completely, etc... outside of just things contradicting literal canon is at the very least enough to raise some skepticism on that part,
It really doesn't. It's not relevant to the feat itself. If the story is still apparently canonical then, despite how weird things get in the story, the feats within are fair game. No retcon, no parallel timelines or whatever, it's still in.

especially since Gladiators appearance in the story goes against his larger suit of feats like punching a massively amped Galactus(who at that point even Living Tribunal and Eternity feared) so hard he shakes the bones of everyone in the whole universe and then literally invents abilities he NEVER had like accelerating molecules to burn someones kin or turning atmosphere to plasma, etc...
Now, this sounds like more of a case than anything else you've said. If, in your opinion, Gladiator is operating wildly above his normally presentation of power, then you have a case that the feats in this story should be kicked under SMvsFL because he's operating outside of his normal bracket of power. The rest of the plot and whatever weirdness occurs in it isn't the issue but what Gladiator does is the crux of it.

People seem to be very selective as to what to be skeptical on and whatnot and it seems to boil down more to the characters themselves, rather than feats.
I would tread carefully when accusing fellow posters biases, as I advised you when you started posting here in the original WBH thread, you try not to goad people into fights.

In any case, I can only speak for myself and it's the feats that matter.
