Looks like the Thanos/Squirrel Girl incident has officially been retconned.

In the latest She-Hulk, the Thanos that recently appeared has been revealed to be a clone. As it turns out, this clone was created with every trait in Thanos's image. Even Thanos himself (the real Thanos) states:

"When I am done, his brain shall mirror my own down to the last ganglion, neuron, and synapse. Gifted telepaths, the most cosmic of beings--even the clone himself--will believe himself to be me."

So, I would believe the "most cosmic of beings" part refers to those on the level of the Watcher, which would mean Squirrel Girl did in fact only defeat the clone.

Keep in mind, this was written by Dan Slott, the same guy who wrote the Squirrel Girl owning.

BTW The She-Hulk resisting Moondragons Telepathy in the last issue is just wrong in so many ways....

So...technically...didn't she really defeat him then?

If he's basically supposed to be Thanos in every way, then she did defeat Thanos.

Hmm...I see were you're coming from...she may not have beat the REAL one..but there is absolutely no difference between the REAL and the FAKE one...so the retcon..is absolutely pointless....

Nah, though I guess I shouldn't have said "every trait."

It was basically a psychic imprint in his mind. She-Hulk then proceeded to beat the crap out of the clone in just a few panels.

Well, according to the wuote, it's only every mental trait. Not the physical, and otherwise

Makes perfect sense that she beat up a clone over the real deal. Every one gets the drop on them, because no one cares if they lose.

Who cares. I really don't want to see Thanos turn into Darkseid with these retarded retcons
Plus it's funner to think of SG being a god.
Plus why would they ret con that shit anyway? I don't think anyone really takes it serious, and if they did, then it's not a bad showing since, SG has no bad showings.

I f***ing knew She Hulk was going to win.
Even if it's a damn clone, She Hulk has really turned into a god.
Plus, they are really overdoing it with these retcons.

I wouldnt say it was officially retconned, But that scene can be used as evidence that it was a clone that squirrel girl fought, but you can also make an argument that every Thanos appearance is a clone also (using that scene).

Also I hope they don't have that stupid, "The real Thanos is omnipotent, etc" shit.

Yeah, I really hope the clone idea just dies. Also I wouldn't say She-Hulk beating the Thanos clone was that impressive since he wasnt fighting back at all, and the only time he did fight back he beat the hell out of Star-God.

Still, even if he wasn't fighting back. How could she hurt him? (maybe I'm just thinking of Thanos though)

Did they actually reference the SG beating? If not it still stands.

No, it hasn't been referenced specifically, but I figured Slott was going in that direction.

Maybe I read into it too much. Frankly, I've been expecting some kind of reference to SG since I heard Thanos was going to appear in this title.

Im still mourning over the loss of the Thing sad

Seriously, Slott's writing on Thing was at times a hell of a lot better than his writing on She-Hulk erm

The best part about She-Hulk's book is the humor.

Slott needs to stop trying to make this weird plots and re-focus on what made the series great in the first place
