in this thread all topics concerning thanos can be discussed including -wins,loses,feats and opinions.

please try and keep it civil

Thanos with The Heart of the Infinite was badass

I think Quanchi makes people hate Thanos.

I like the fact that Thanos' relationship with death slowly increased over the passing years. Back in the day she wouldn't address him directly, then she first spoke to him in The End and in his own series they finally had conversations together.

Pretty neat.

Thanos was definitely one of my favourite characters until Quanchi joined KMC. I suppose it's my fault though, for letting someone else ruin a character for me

I was going down the same road with Wolverine, but then realized, why am I letting other people influence my decisions?

On topic: Thanos is one of my favorites. If there was one guy I would want to be with if the Universe was in danger, it would be Thanos.

I love that he stands down to no one, even if he knows they' re more powerful. He's a rare combination of intelligence, power, and non jobbing capability. At least from what I have read of Thanos, I've never seen him really job to anyone.

He gets alot of undeserved hate around here due to infinite fanboyism, but I don't let it affect my decision of the character.

i was starting to feel the same way,but then i thought i wont let others views spoil my own.

when i get time just some topics id like to discuss,on some thanos losses-
squirrel girl
odin
drax

Thanos is powerful, but he's not beating Odin

Drax was created to defeat Thanos

i agree he s not beating odin,but like said before with recent upgrades he'd hold own or maybe stalemate him at best.thanos was coping ok until odin pulled out his staff,without the staff he would give odin a greater fight imho.

i do think drax was a bit of a plot device for annihilation,seeing he rarely fazed thanos in the past.

is squirrel girl defeat cannon?also didnt happen off panel(cant be bothered to search for comic)

Points well taken good buddy

Odin is prolly returning as well

They should bring Thanos back. Should Starlin write it, Well

I wouldn't mind seeing Thanos return.

Not to the realm of the living, but as Death's cohort.

hopefully he will return in the upcoming guardian's of the galaxy?

Or consort.

Thanos is a little too Mary Sue-ish, if you ask me. Well, when Starlin writes him anyway.

Meh, plenty of villains get away with that.

I suppose it's my fault though, for letting someone else ruin a character for me You can hate me but why hate a fictional character. This character brought me into comics when I was a child and is the reason why I am here which is to the chagrin of others.

You can hate me but why hate a fictional character. Because you like him, so it's annoying to like him as well, or uncool to like him... or something.

Anyway, you never really did like a character if other's opinion of the character decide it for you... IMO.

Thanos has always been my favorite character, and nothing has faltered that yet (although I will poke jabs at Quan once in a while).

Also, what are we supposed to talk about? Thanos rocks?

Anyone heard anything from anywhere about Thanos' return?

Also, what are we supposed to talk about? Thanos rocks? I am sure I have done to Thanos what my opposing posters have done to Darkseid for me. I cant enjoy good showings from darkseid fully because I know I will have to hear about it from a certain few on here. The same goes I am sure for Thanos. When he returns I am sure some posters will grimace if he does something spectacular because of me.

I hate the Steelers because of one of my childhood friends. Those dam crappy steelers. It sucks but people we know effect the way we view things. The same goes for comic book characters I suppose.

is squirrel girl defeat cannon?also didnt happen off panel(cant be bothered to search for comic) Odin - Thanos didn't beat him...or even come close to being a threat. He was more of an annoyance to him...but in fairness to Thanos, this was in Asgard. Some people claim Odin is stronger there, but I'm not 100% sure. What I was able to determine from watching that fight was that Thanos more than proved his durability, but offensively could not faze Odin. Thanos was on rubber legs at the end, and had the fight gone on, he would have eventually fallen.

Drax - was to Thanos what Kryponite is to Superman. Hopefully if/when Thanos returns, this cosmic enchantment (or whatever) on Drax is gone, and he becomes a non-factor. He's really annoying.

Squirrel Girl - it wasn't off-panel...it was in 'GLX-MAS Special', and while it is canon, it was really a clone she beat up. The real Thanos was out near the Crunch at the time with Skreet and Fallen One awaiting the start of Annhilation. It was stated in 'She Hulk' that the clones are so precise to Thanos' likeness, that it could even fool the most cosmic of senses. This was Dan Slott retconning his own Squirrel Girl story.

even if it was a thanos clone you never see the engage in combat.

on the point of the odin fight, i never said thanos would beat odin i said with thanos's upgrades he has received since that fight, he would imo be able to stalemat odin.
odin could only put him down after he drew weapon/staff.

You think Thanos should make a cameo appearance in the Captain Marvel mini?

Thanos is cool. And so is Quan (at times). lol

I really don't know why people have such a hard time accepting the Squirrel Girl thing.

1. She's undefeated, so his losing is in no way a low showing.
2. It happened off panel. Lots of people have spectacular off panel feats to their credit, but the general feeling on the forum is that off panel=meaningless.
3. It was made pretty clear that Thanos was in the middle of one of his BIG schemes by the Watcher(who commented on SG saving the multiverse). And as everyone knows by now, when Thanos is out to conquer all he always beats himself in the end.

i have been thinking,is it just me or was thanos loses the infinity gauntlet due to his subconchese and thinking himself of not being worthy KIND of a plot device?

because the only person who could/would stop him was the livivng tribunal,and he made it clear the he had no need/concern to be involved in the matter,seeing as thanos defeated the entire cosimic offence.
who else other than LT at the time could have stopped him..

just found this cool pic of thanos

Is that an alternate cover for a Guardians of the Galaxy issue?

Hopefully he will be back to do great things or he will operate from Death's realm now. I'm not sure if Thanos has a place opposing anyone in the Marvel Universe, as he works beyond pretty much everyone.

to be honest i dont think theres a great deal marvel could do with him at the moment

i agree. Thanos is one of those that should appear every couple of years. The last time he had a significant appearence before annihilation was his own limited series, and that was about 3 years inbetween. Maybe sometime next year Thanos can appear again. Perhaps in the War of Kings story, but I really don't see anything other than a brief appearence w/ mistress death and have both of them smiling over vulcan and black-bolt
