He almost got killed by Galactus because he didn't use all the shields available to him.
That is stupid, plain and simple.
I guess Thanos doesn't prepare for anything.

So you feel Thanos in preparation for a being more powerful than Galactus would bring less shielding than against Galactus even though he used what he had available to him?
He had shielding available and he still left with his life but if Galactus continued to attack Thanos wasn't prepared for an all out war like he was against Omega. You can disagree all you want but it's pretty obvious.
No, YOU feel that Thanos would unload his shields after facing Omega. A decision that was clearly idiotic on Thanos' part. Even the remote risk of Galactus breaching his shields would lead Thanos to keep any upgraded shields intact...or are you saying that Thanos dumbed-down his shielding when he went to the klyn because the Maker was not clear threat to him...yet still he ended up KO'd?
You and the other thanos fan are turning this into a Thanos vs. Omega, Thanos vs. Galactus comparison. That is an incorrect approach. Thanos was specifically prepping against Hunger as soon as he found out about Galactus' intentions and the detection of Hunger. To prevent Hunger from being released, he had to convince Galactus. If that failed, he had to try to take him down. Even in his discussions with Warlock he knew that a direct confrontation with Galactus was imprudent.
It's obvious Thanos didn't want Hunger to enter. It's obvious THanos couldn't fail in convincing Galactus. What possible reason does Thanos have to remove shielding that saved his life against a Galactus-level being, when facing Galactus himself?
It's obvious he had all shielding, not "all shielding available." The latter is pure unsubstantiated speculation on your part. Facts are facts. Thanos erected "all defensive shielding" and if you want to convince yourself that it was just "all defensive shielding available after Thanos removed the shields he used against Omega for whatever CIS reasons" then go ahead.

That makes 2 voices of logic and reason.

Almost losing the game isn't losing the game. Thanos achieved what he sought to achieve despite Galactus' buffoonery.

I am saying Thanos didn't prep shielding in particular to go to war with Galactus. I am saying he used all shielding available to him at the time and this still taxed the shite out of Galactus.
He also knew he couldn't win a direct confrontation with Galactus but he needed to get his attention.
He used whatever shielding he had available which was less than what he had or used against a more powerful character. In both instances he triumphed.
I'm right and you're wrong.

But almost dying is almost dying.
Which would make him stupid if he could have avoided it, and according to you, he could have.

If Galactus would have continued he most likely would have died. Thanos was still in fighting shape.
Thanos achieved the ends so he's quite intelligent and it worked. Don't argue with success.

I agree, Thanos is stupid.

No, Galactus was dumb in the arc. Thanos saved all of reality and Galactus risking his own life in the process. What a hero!

But he didn't. You can argue what might have happened but we both know what did happen. Thanos saved the day. He's not an epic failure like Doom.

Or I could just say what did happen, which is Galactus almost killing Thanos.

Almost. Remember the word. It's the key word you cling to while we know what happened.

And there would not have even been an almost had Thanos used all his shields, which according to you he didn't.
So stupid on Thanos part, pretty embarrassing.

He used whatever shielding he had available and still made it out.
Success isn't embarrassing that's called getting decimated by Thor in destroyer armor. That's utter embarrassment. I argue about what things do happen not almosts.

Why weren't his other shields available to him, did he pawn them?

Because he didn't bring his best shielding because he didn't intend to take down Galactus. he brought enough shielding to get what he needed done.

What he needed to get done was almost dying?

No, he came there to stop the Hunger and Galactus refused to listen but Thanos still stopped it. Galactus was greatly damaged and almost killed as well. Thanos saved all of reality.

Oh, it seemed like he was there to almost get killed, because he did that pretty well.

Almost intercepting a pass isn't intercepting a pass. Almost dying isn't walking around saving the day also.
