I know feats goes far in here but logic would dictate basic Superman would slaughter Thanos. You may say well Thanos beat guys who around Superman's level. Well in a logical forum this wouldn't happen. Thanos can't move a light speed. So he should never be able to land a hand on Superman.
No matter how durable Thanos is 1000s of Superman level punches moving at light speed should destroy him.
But how Marvel has build up Thanos over the years for some reason he would win in a comic book setting.
Yes feats dictate how the battle would play out here and it's always been like that it's how tournaments are won. So going by feats Thanos beats Superman in a forum setting not hard to understand. This is why Flash doesn't win every thread he is in because speed only goes so far based on feats take it or leave we.
The Problem is that people think Superman would be as effective against Thanos as a jobbing Surfer and forget that Superman can be as effective against foes above Thanos, like Darkseid for example. In a JLA book i could see Thanos having the edge over Supes before he goes down. In a Superman book, where the stakes are higher, Superman would beat him 10/10.

In a Jla book I can see Thanos edging out a win against Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash and a Green Lantern (Batman would be too much). In a Superman book I could see Thanos stomping Superman in the first encounter then barely losing in the second.
Feats say Superman wins. Feats give Superman his speed, his reflexes, his strength, etc. Superman seeing Thanos in slow motion will make this a tough fight for Thanos.
only if Superman laid on the ground and watched Thanos squat over him in slow motion shit on him. The turd falls so slowly.
Seriously, Superman would have to be fighting without his Insane fast reflexes and ability to perceive time slowed in order for Thanos to have a chance.
I disagree. Superman is stronger and faster than Thanos. Hulk wasn't stronger than Zeus. High Heralds wouldn't beat the shit outta someone several tiers above Superman. And tiers don't always determine who wins a fight.
Uh-huh,thanos shat on surfer,a being who is faster than superman,and whose reflexes added on to his cosmic awareness outstrip superman's,thanos has reflexes high enough to stomp speedsters. Supes is shit to thanos,just like the entire avengers were. Superman seeing thanos in slow motion,is one of the most absurd thibgs I've ever heard. Thanos vs supes would be almost as bad as zeus vs hulk
And when did a high herald beat the shit out of thanos?,in a dream?
Thanos is trans tier,far above a simple herald tier
characters aren't always written with their top speed or reflexes. The story dictates what powers a character will use at a given time. A slow being hitting Superman or Surfer in a comic doesn't prove that they are faster than light. You should know this. Thanos hitting beings in comics that possess faster than light speed is only relevant if that being was actually moving light speed or faster when Thanos hit them.
Thanos isn't a true speedster. He's faster than a human but has only low level speed (less than Spider-Man and quicksilver). Superman is a high end speedster with reflexes to match. Superman sees bullets in still motion. If Thanos moves bullet speed or a little faster then Superman would still see him in slow motion.
Do you believe that Thanos can move almost as fast as Superman? I ask this because you say it's absurd that Superman would see him in slow motion.
So we just ignore Thor carries around a plot device magic hammer made by his daddy? That he at times wears various magical items that amp his stats, like his belt of strength? Okie dokie, but that sounds suspiciously like ignorance to me.
