Originally posted by Silent MasterWell they did team up right before that to rescue that plane from crashing. THen you see Thor giving his speech while sneaking around the plane before blasting Glads. I guess it's how you interperate it.
No he didn't, Thor gave a nice long speech before blasting him, if anything was a cheap shot it was Gladiator flying into Thor's back just as he transformed.
And sure Glads may have hit Thor when he was down but Glads would have finished him off if he wasn't disrtacted.
Did you get a special editon issue, I have to ask because nothing in the normal issue even hints at Thor sneaking before blasting Gladiator.
Let's also not forget that the original fight started with a disguised Gladiator attacking Jake Olsen, IOW the only one that could be legitimately accused of cheap shots is Gladiator.
Originally posted by Silent MasterGo check the issue. And look closely at the top panel.

Originally posted by Silent MasterPost the scan then. Glads and him just got done saving a plane as a team. I don't know how else to explain Glads not being fast enough to react to such a attack.
I have the issue and there is no way that what Thor did could be considered sneaking, especially since he was giving a speech at the time.
Here is the scan. Well I think it's the right one.

Now to me it looks like Thor is indeed yelling at Glads but this is right after they teamed up to save a plane. But it also looks like he is creeping too. They were both on diff. sides of the plane too.
BTW I really don't like Glads but he should have beaten Thor if the fight had not been interupted.

Do you think Glads was caught off guard?
Originally posted by Silent MasterSo you think Thor just stood there and basically said "Gladiator I am gonna blast you with the Mjolnir!!!!"?
If you had looked at the page before that one you would know that the wheelbase is what Thor was holding on to while stopping the plane.So all you did was post proof that Thor did indeed step into the open while giving a speech,IOW, there was no 'sneaking' or 'creeping'.
Originally posted by snoopdoggYeah, i do. But not so much because Thor was sneaking up on him or anything like that, but because, IMO, Glads thought the fight was over. For now at least. They'd just saved a bunch of lives, and continuing the fight where they are would just put the lives back in danger (notice after he's hit with the blast he says "your actions prove me right, proof of how dangerous you are"😉. If Glads thought they were still fighting, then he would've been going for Thor already.
Yea I took the one from the thread.Do you think Glads was caught off guard?
So yeah, i think the blast took Gladiator by surprise. And even after that, and a slew of hammer shots it still took help to take Glads out.
Originally posted by Silent MasterYet even after Thor-Girl hit Gladiator with "such power rivals e'en that of omnipotent Odin!", Gladiator is concious and addressing Odin a couple of pages later. So without that extra hit, how long do you think Glads would've been down?
No it didn't, Gladiator was laying face down not moving when Thor-girl attacked him.
However you spin it, Thor never beat Gladiator alone in that encounter. Gladiator beat Thor. Gladiator beat Thor-Girl. Gladiator lost to Thor and Thor-Girl.
