You are calling the writing that happened decades before the two examples you gave as PIS? Thats an interesting way of looking at things. Claymore1998 has already given context for the modern stories, and did an excellent job, another thing to remember that Celestials were Kirby inventions, Kirby is king, and unlike Galactus another Kirby invention along with Stan lee's help, the Celestials were totally his (well with a nod to Erich von Däniken) anyway Odin did more than scratch, he actually was pretty impressive in my opinion. However Celestials can heal incredibly fast, maybe if it was a one on one situation Odin could have keep going on the offense, but it was more than one on one, and it was in an era where Celestials were still still quite awe inspiring, I mean they always have been - but to put it in perspective those Thor stories are actually when Marvel started integrating Celestials into main 616 continuity, originally they weren't intended to be. There are a lot of other things to consider, role of antagonist, writer styles, artist styles, decompression versus fast pace storytelling.
Basically I do not consider it PIS.
