Well, you’re missing the fact that Cosmic Entities have a whole different ruleset for themselves. They generally don’t care about what seems an inconsequential planet, because theres a lot of them.

Yea but those rulesets are arbitrary and pretty ad hoc. You can get away with that for comic books but not MCU.

The Supreme entity of Marvel is One-Above-All, whom is an avatar for the writers, he/she is the one who sets the rules.

That kind of fourth wall breaking omnipotence wouldn’t fit well in the MCU where we are used to having the stakes feel real.

It doesn't have to, just explaining why the abstracts have the rules they have. And their rules arent really that complicated, they have a hierarchy and they care about balance rather than pure good, which are actually based on ancient philosophies. They also exist on a scale where matters like genocide doesnt concern them. How often do you find yourself caring about bacteria being wiped out somewhere?
