What's your point? It just proves that none of them had the power to even stop an IG wielder. Where are you getting that it proves Warlock's was weaker.
When Warlock let out his blast, they were all blown away except for the LT (unfazed), Ziran the Celestial (still standing but obviously struggling), and possibly Lord Chaos (hard to tell if he was holding Ziran up or just flying back).
You're actually going to argue that this means Warlock's attack was weaker than Nebula or Thanos'. That Celestial would've last how long if LT not intervened? Beings above that Celestial were getting blast out of the court.
If Warlock was using the same amount of power to blast the cosmics away as Nebula and Thanos did, then no one (besides the LT possibly) would have been left standing. It is possible for someone to use the same attack twice with varying results depending on how much power they input into the attack.
Possibly the LT? He only raised his hand the that attack stop dead. It is possible the results vary except that Warlock didn't want the trial to continue. His intentions of stopping the trial were clear as he stated as much, "HOW DARE YOU SEEK TO JUDGE ME." Then attacks the court stating that HE/WARLOCK/I SHALL NOT TOLERATE SUCH AN EFFRONTERY."
Unless you seriously believe Warlock was going to stop him and let the trial continue after those words and actions?
Now, as for the attack not affecting the LT, again the LT was an unknown quantity to Warlock. Warlock didn't know his power level. Yes, he didn't know some of the other cosmics as well, but he knew the IG could defeat them since it already had. When Warlock first met the LT at the gathering, Eternity addressed the LT as a peer ("one of equal standing to another"😉. So, for all Warlock knew, the same amount of energy required to blow away Eternity should have been enough for the LT. He found out that it wasn't and was surprised. But that does not prove the LT's superiority to the IG. It just proves his superiority to the other cosmics.
Again, Warlock didn't even know all the cosmics. Yet he told them their combined might was NOTHING COMPARED TO THE FORCE THANOS WIELDS. This is before Warlock got ahold of the IG, he was able to gauge cosmics power. With the IG, he knew things ahead of time. How is LT any different from the rest of the cosmics he doesn't know?
Which means that the LT is more powerful than the other cosmics. It doesn't automatically equate to him being more powerful than the IG.
I never said it automatically equates him being more powerful. The Tribunal stopped an IG attack and restored order. He shut down and powered up and shut down the Gauntlet a second time.
The IG has reversed LT's attack/ruling or hurt LT when? Give me at least one instance where the IG affected the Tribunal in any way? If you don't have that, they how can you say the IG even an equal to the Tribunal. LT shut Warlock's attack down just by raising his hand.
Warlock said he had grown tired of Eternity. Eternity followed by saying he had grown tired of Warlock. While making this statement, Eternity is blinking away. After Eternity's statement, Warlock tells him to begone. The LT follows up with something like "as should we all be" and they disappear.
Never happened. Eternity was about to attack him (angry that he has no say in who gets to guard the gems) and Warlock snaps his finger removing Eternity from the court.
Eternity, later during Warlock Chronocles, showed up on a planet and argues over the new gem wielder as well. He even knew who Warlock was going to give his gems to and objects to Thanos being the new guarding the Reality Gem. Warlock again snaps his finger and Eternity was gone.
Didn't say it had to do with his look. It had to do with what he said. He said he had to determine whether or not Warlock deserved to keep the IG and whether or not he had the power to take the IG from Warlock if need be. He ruled against Warlock keeping it, but he never mentioned if he could take it from Warlock. All he said was that a battle between the two would destroy reality.
This is where I said I'll agree that he couldn't shut it down right away. The IG has yet to show it could do a thing to the Tribunal. Not a thing at all.
How can you say that the IG couldn't affect the LT in any way? He only felt its power once with one attack. That's like saying Odin couldn't affect Thanos based on his first attack not doing anything to Thanos.
Thing being would you consider Thanos a skyfather or on Odin's level when Thanos couldn't even hurt Odin at all? Great showing of durability for Thanos but it doesn't mean he's Odin's peer. He's below that. The IG did nothing to LT and even had it's attack stopped dead and it's weilder saying, "HOW?" If that attack was so weak, Warlock wouldn't have been astonnished and shut his trap so, as LT stated, "Eternity, present your case."
Only difference is they had a battle afterwards to prove otherwise. Warlock and LT didn't.
Yes. It proved that Thanos couldn't do a thing to Odin. LT raised his hand and killed an IG attack that was owning everybody except him. And Warlock shut up so the trial could begin. I've yet to see the IG's power abused like this.
No, neither one of them budged based on the energy they were releasing.
The energy came from the IG, not LT. I already addressed this.
Warlock flinched after the LT made him feel guilty for both of them having to destroy reality with the battle they were about to have. That's it.
None, which shows how powerful the LT is compared to the other cosmics, but it's not an accurate depiction of him being more powerful than the IG.
And the IG has showed the it is on the LT's level when? The many times it hasn't?
I never said that anyone could stop it, because it wasn't a mere attack. It was a powerful one, powerful enough to blow the cosmics away.
It's the Infinity Gauntlet. How is an omidirectional blast weaker than a focused attack? The space gem allows you to be anywhere along with the reality which allows you bend and do it as you will. How focus need one be when you wield an Infinity Gauntlet that allows complete control over time, space, reality, and power?
However, if Warlock would have focused his attack on the LT and attacked again, would the LT have been able to deflect that as easily?
Easily? It would take him some more effort I would still say easy. Just raising his hand his killed the IG's attack.
I don't know, and neither did the LT apparently based on his own statements.All we know by the attack is that it was powerful enough for the abstracts but not the LT. Warlock thought it was and was wrong. That's why he was surprised.
He was surprised that LT could affect the Gauntlet's power, not because he misgadged his attack level. Otherwise he would have increased the level and continued his assault to prevent the trial from beginning.
