drax and thanos were digging into the ground when they were grappling. This caused the planet to become unstable. The planet blew up not because of the force the two were exerting but because of the instability they cause in the planet. The planet blew itself up.
So what they did was push a very big and difficult button. After that, the planet did all the work. It was a good feat.
Also know that characters don't always operate at the same level in every comic. That means Thanos feat with Drax is above anything Thanos has done strength wise. So it's faulty to assume that a later and more upgraded Thanos can do the same. If that was the case then he wouldn't have shown limits many times below that.
Mar-vell manhandled Drax in the same comic he destroyed the planet. Thor beat up on Thanos with the IG. A much weaker Hulk beat up on Thor. See how faulty the ABC logic is? You can't use ABC logic when you know that a character isn't operating near the level as another scene which you are trying to compare.
It takes billions of times more force to destroy something without coming in contact with it than destroying through coming in contact with it.
If you get hit with a strong smack in the face then I won't feel a thing.
The Shockwave energy emitted from a collision is always billions of times less than the actual collision.
billions mean at least 2 billion. Half of that is a billion. The gamma energy had nothing to do with the feat. It was the force of the collision that created the shockwave. Gamma radiation don't produce shockwaves.
Scratches on his clothes =/= damaged. You know his clothes also work as armor? And extremely powerful beings like Tyrant and Omega (clone of galactus with higher raw power) have actually vaporized his clothes armor.
Drax is stronger and more powerful when he is focused on thanos and near thanos.
She hulk doing anything to him should be PIS, unless you believe that she hulk > a planet buster, because that puts her on WBH level.
Based on?
What about thanos matching depowered tyrant, who just standing there ignoring the assault of Surfer, BRB, Gladiator and many more.
And inb4 the amp, he only used the orb for 3 strikes.
Based on?
Anyways, even if we take your statement literally, energy to destroy a planet x 1,000,000,000 = energy tod estroy a sun = silver surfer's strongest attack. We all know how it affects Thanos.
And without the power gem.
The panel saying that " THE PLANET COULDN'T TAKE OUT CLASH" = planet busting. Also, there is nothing such as planet instability and blowing itself up, it is a fan made idea to lowball.
Drax is MUCH stronger in close proximity to thanos and thinking about him, than any other time. Thanos with IG was basically playing with the entire universe. He was allowing them to do everything. Hell, even cut his connection off from the IG at a time. I don't call that a beatdown.
And I'm not using ABC logic, I'm using ACTUAL FEATS. Feats are what matter. I can say daredevil can beat galactus ignoring feats and call everything else ABC logic, but that would be wrong, like what you are saying.
He released approximately twice the amount of energy required to shatter a dark dimension wish-world. But it's ok, you only failed by a factor of 1 000 000 000.
