first off, thanos got 'bored' because he could not physically defeat thor. thor gave as good as he got in that fight and to win, thanos had to use tech. no tech, who knows how that would have ended. and yes, i know thor had the gem, but thor fought/stalemated/beat drax and maxam (and the rest of the watch) WHILE drax had the gem and he really didn't seem to get any stronger with the gem. warrior madness is all he needed.the tyrant fight is meaningless - AGAIN!!!! - as an example because thanos tyrant's OWN power (that thanos stole) against him. i already showed scans of what tyrant did to thanos BEFORE thanos amped his power. tyrant MURDERS regular thanos.
true he had a good showing against odin, but the avengers had a good showing against zeus who is odin's equal.
i should actually thank you for posting image 227 (two posts up) which actually seems to refute kg's idea that thanos can easily weather a world-destroying blast. the blast that very obviously hurt him a great deal certainly didn't destroy that world, and appears to have been only a city-destroying blast.
so you've shown he couldn't beat warrior-mad thor without tech. you've shown the classic odin battle, but again the avengers did well against zeus. you've shown that much less than world-destroying attacks can hurt thanos very badly. earlier he takes a ss shot and a cm shot. ironman has absorbed and ko'd ss, and who knows how powerful cm's blast was. OR ss's for that matter.
He said himself, he "grew weary" of the fight. And he was taking shots from THAT Thor. Which says something. (You Know that whole argument about Wolverine's claws can hurt him so punches from Superman and CM can also hurt him stuff.)
So he can take shots from THAT Thor yet he can't take shots from Supes or CM?
The Tyrant battle isn't meaningless. It is a good showing by Thanos. Yes he used something to win, but it was Tyrant and as you said, Tyrant MURDERS him, therefor he HAD to use something. The fact that he figured out a way to defeat, or stalemate, Tyrant, says a lot. It's not like Supes and CM can defeat Tyrant on their own without some devise, tech, or stolen power.
What does Avengers and Zeus have to do with this fight? or what does it have to do with the Thanos/Odin fight? To me Avenger's/Zeus fight is meaningless.
There's no proof that he COULDN'T beat Warrior Thor. As someone said earlier "Who knows how that would have turned out?"
Thanos vs Odin doesn't equal Avengers vs Zeus. Neither are the Avengers considerably less in power than Thanos, so I don't understand why that is even brought up.
Who cares if Thanos can or can't take a "planet-destroying" blast? All that matters is if he can take the assault of Superman + Captain Marvel. Which I believe he could.
CM and SS obviously THOUGHT their blasts would do something to Thanos. Why else would they blast him?

thanos is enormously strong and durable and has great blasting power. he is also very smart. supes and cm are also very powerful, very smart and very durable. thanos has the advantage and would likely win this fight, but supes and cm would give him hell.
I actually completely agree with this. Believe it or not.
The main reason for showing all those pics was to show the type of attacks that Thanos has taken. Other than Wolverine claws. There seemed to be a question of whether or not he could take Superman and CM's attacks.
