It doesn't say so, you got the semantic wrong, it says "The concussive force of their coming together reverberates along the pathways leading from the crossroads to an infinite number of dimensions... " That's like saying that if "I punch and shake a road leading to a city" then I'm shaking the road
and the city.
Maybe I am, but I'm just saying that I shoke the road. Hulk is shaking some of the places the Crossroads leads into, at least 3 shown on-panel, but we don't know the total amount of universes this reached into.
Ignoring the fact that the closest universes would have had their planets annihilated rather than with simply realistic earthquakes. Because a real-life earthquake would also "reverberate along the pathways leading from the crossroads to an infinite number of dimensions" if put on the pathways of the Crossroads like Hulk was.
I don't know what this is replying to, you are too short and don't break down the comment you reply to. Please do it again if you think it matters.
There is precedent of him holding back even when in Warrior Madness, but the larger context of the comics all around talk more about this more than just "He said so". Thor is the same guy who, when holding back, always oversells the people he's fighting, or do you missed that about his character when he goes up against Loki, Namor, Wrecker, the Wrecking Crew, the Thing, Magneto, Dr. Doom, Super Skrull, the High Evolutionary, The Champion of the Universe, Absorbing Man, and so on? The way he holds back has him lie about his own power & limits, hence he forgets what his true power is at times.
This comes off as a strawman, why does it matter to the topic and what does it reply to?
No, I didn't. Look:
Meaning that they did fight. Great for them, but fighting evenly doesn't do anything. So far you don't show to know what my argument is, which again, was very clear from the first comment.
It shows that you don't, that's why it's problematic. We're not constructing a narrative, we're constructing, period. Don't view "supporting evidence" as "less important -> and therefore it's valid to look less into it", doing so just means one's throwing whatever sticks so that others may have a hard trying dealing with it or to "make everything
seem more legit". It's a fraudulent mindset.
The In-Betweener was divided to be weakened, his order half is weaker. Let's see how weaker:
- He needs an army from SHIELD to apply the orden he wants.
- Can't kill and control the mutants by himself.
- He mind controls Wanda, Deadpool, Ghost Rider and Dr. Strange for muscle as well.
- He goes with the latter group to do stuff he needs, the full In-Betweener having Immeasurable speed. He also can't react to the Hulk jumping away to escape as others see.
- The real In-Betweener's power comes from affecting things that have, well, an in-between/counterbalance to them. To the point where he has issues affecting beings that are unique & with no force to counterbalance theirs. So him being divided into a being of orden and one of chaos should absolutely f*ck over his gimmick. He's one-sided to favor orden, with no in-between orden and chaos, you can't grab in his tier & "divide by 2 but-not-really 'cause higher tiers can't be divided like that".
