Ok. This time Thanos has to repeat his quest with no prep. Just his power, fighting Skills, and durability. Would he make it thru the Quest without any prep? ( Which is the basis for most of our forum fights? :P)
Discuss.

thanos doesn't have the gems

No, I beleive the Runner would have pretty much either:


1) speedblitz him to death

2) left his stranded in space



Hold on, Nvrbeenwthagirl, does Thanos have his cybernetic throne at his access or no ?

You mean Thanos right before he died, or Thanos as he was at the time of Thanos's quest?

If it's Thanos right before he died (Annihilation, and not thinking about Drax being near), Thanos could probably do it with no Gems...
Although I-B would smoke him, but if it was the same situation, and Thanos only had to free him, then it wouldn't be too tough.

Plus, he could probably stop Runner with some well placed shields.
Runner is the only Elder worth a damn anyway.

In theory he certainly could. He didn't seem to really need the prep to take out any of the Elders except Runner.

Which is the exact reason why he wouldn't be able to finish the Quest under these circumstances.

The difference is though, that he is more powerful since the Quest, and he has shown to be able to use his shields wisely, to stop speedsters (Fallen One, and I don't need that jive about his speed being ambiguous, since he was shown going warp speed throughout his two or so comic showings).

Plus, Runner kind of got a cheap shot to start off with. Either way though, Runner is the most difficult challenge.

Thanos would do shit all against Runner with the Space gem.

Unless he just used the Time Gem to freeze time upon arrival instead of letting Runner get going. Thanos letting all that go down was about as much PIS as the Runner halting his attack.

I thought he was gonna go through his Quest with his own power, and not using the gems? For this thread, I mean.

nvr just said that he didn't get prep this time, he didn't say that he wasn't allowed to use the gems after he acquired them. Of course, he may add that stipulation now that it seems that Thanos has a legitimate shot(you know nvr).

Well I'm guessing this happens in the same order, which means he has gems when he takes on Runner.

Easy.

Robbing him of the gems he acquires seems pretty unfair since we have no idea how Thanos would have taken the Elders on without them. There would be a completely different strategy involved in each fight and most of the Elders don't really have enough appearances to accurately determine how to take them down.

Either way, the Quest would be more difficult for him.

No prep = no starring into the Infinity Well.

Not starring into the Infinity Well = not knowing the gems true purposes, and how to use them properly.

Not really because he looked into the IW before his Quest started. Take that away and there never would have been a Quest because he never would have known about the Gems.

Finding out what you're after qualifies as prep now?

If that's not what nvr meant by "no prep," then I have no f*cking clue what he's talking about then.

I was thinking that he meant things like having the preprogrammed teleporter for Champion and the robot double for Grandmaster. But knowing nvr, he DID mean it the way you're saying. After all, why would nvr intentionally give Thanos a shot at winning?

But if that IS the case then you're absolutely correct. Thanos stands no chance of repeating his quest if he's completely ignorant of his opponents, his objectives, and his objectives capabilities.

Perhaps, but you said it...

Well it's not as if he was very clear as to the specifics.

Hey it's true.

Anyway... It depends on three factors:

1. Does he have tech?

2. What version of Thanos is it?

3. Does he even know what he's supposed to do?

Originally posted by darthgoober

He was hardly clear on any of it.

Shit, I don't even know if he's allowed to use the gems on this quest.

I think he's leaves his Thanos threads deliberately vague, that way he can change things around to "prove his point" without people being able to call him on it.

Yeah, more than likely . . .

So wait, what's the point of this thread?

Do the Elders get the Gems, and Thanos doesn't get the Gems after he beats them?
So, what would be the point of "Thanos Quest", if he gains nothing out of it.

I don't get it, and quite frankly, I'm judging my decision off of neither getting gems, or both getting gems.

Although, that is hardly the point of this thread, I know, since Thanos is set up to fail here...

thanos overcomes adversity much like he always does when motivated.

Thanos gets no gems and niether do the elders. it's basically just a guantlet to see if he could clear them on thier own terms without prep.

thanos clears it.

As if that is something we all didnt' expect.

"Thanos Quest"

Always sounded to me like it should be the title for an old Super Nintendo Game.
