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.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.
Because Warlock's outburst was an act of rage. Eternity even said that "ultimate power is in the hands of one who can't even control his own temper." Warlock was angry that he was being judged after saving everyone's butt. He wasn't trying to destroy them. He was just lashing out in anger. Why would he want to destroy the beings he just saved?
If you have a better explanation as to why the Celestial was still standing, I would love to hear it.

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 [B]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? [/B]
Warlock's attack was an act of rage. Once the LT stopped his outburst, he was more surprised than mad. Why would he continue to lash out if he was no longer as angry as he was?

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?
True, he said this before he acquired the IG, but he knew the IG's power because he was in the Soul Gem when Thanos acquired it. He was also informed of Thanos' power from the SS when Thanos absorbed him and Drax into the Soul Gem. But when the gathering took place, Warlock was not expecting either Eternity or the LT to be there, and when he told them their combined might was nothing compared to the IG, Eternity and the LT had left already.

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.
Shutting down the IG after it was dispersed is not a show of superior power. If you want to get technical, the LT's ruling has never truly been tested with all the gems, so we don't know for sure.

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.
Granted, the LT reversed an outburst by the IG. But when it came time to battle Warlock, he wasn't sure if he could win.

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.
No, it happened exactly the way I described it. Go back 2 more panels, and Warlock tell Eternity to not even think of interfering with his process. Eternity gets mad and tell him "I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS EFFRONTERY!". His energy charges, but he never attacks. Warlock tells Eternity that he is bored with him. Eternity tells him the same thing. In this same scene before Warlock tells him "Begone", Eternity is already blinking away.

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.
I've seen this scene years ago and can't find my copy of it right now. I don't remember the scene well enough to comment on it right now.

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.
And what has the LT done to a fully-functioning IG besides cancel a single outburst? He hasn't defeated it in battle. He hasn't hurt the wielder of it. He hasn't performed a feat that it couldn't.

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."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.
That's my point. We got to see Thanos attack Odin back and saw that he didn't hurt Odin. We didn't see that in the IG situation. We only saw Warlock unleash his outburst and the LT cancel. No counter attack by the LT, so we can't tell if he would have been able to hurt Warlock.
Warlock was surprised because he thought that the LT's power would be on par with Eternity's, therefore would not be able to stand up to the IG. He was obviously wrong and that's why he was surprised.

The energy came from the IG, not LT. I already addressed this.
So have I. The pic before the one you posted showed energy come from both the LT and the IG. Even Mr. Master agreed with this.

And the IG has showed the it is on the LT's level when?
Never.

The many times it hasn't?
Never happened. The only thing that the LT did was cancel an outburst. That's it. NEVER again did he prove superior to a fully-functional IG. Please find the "many times" the IG hasn't been able to do something the LT has.

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?
Apparently somewhat. That's the whole reason why it took Nebula awhile before she was able to take down the cosmics. It stated that the cosmics sensed she was not fully adjusted to its power and decided to attack together instead of separately.
And an attack can be as powerful or weak as the user wishes. Warlock's omnidirectional attack blew the abstracts away, but they were still in one piece. Thanos with a direct attack shattered Kronos.

Easily? It would take him some more effort I would still say easy. Just raising his hand his killed the IG's attack.
Enough effort to destroy reality according the the LT, and even then he wasn't sure he could take the IG from Warlock.

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.
Yes, he was surprised. He didn't know how powerful the LT was. He thought all the cosmics were beneath the IG. When the LT showed him otherwise, he was shocked and decided not to continue the assault. Once the trial was over, he was ready to challenge the LT again until the LT guilted him out of it.
