Basically any story written that showed him out of character...using his 70's model as a rabid, power hungry, universe destroying, nihilist...when in reality, he was far from it...ever since 'Infinity Gauntlet'.
I wouldnt say it was [b]officially retconned, But that scene can be used as evidence that it was a clone that squirrel girl fought, but you can also make an argument that every Thanos appearance is a clone also (using that scene). [/B]

The Admirals or whatever it is that always goes against the Harlem Globetrotters, were also Jobbers.
Just what is Jobber, anyways?

Exactly, the Washington Generals was the name of the team.
This is from Wikipedia, about the incident:
In the GLX-Mas Special (Dec. 2005), Squirrel Girl and Tippy-Toe managed to defeat M.O.D.O.K., Terrax and Thanos all by themselves. Uatu, the Earth's Watcher, was on hand to confirm that the Thanos she defeated was the real thing, and not a clone or copy of any kind (an explanation that has sometimes been used to excuse some of Thanos' more embarrassing performances over the years).
So how can this be retconned, if Uatu himself was present and said it was the real Thanos?
( Don't tell me, Mr. Slott - it was a clone of Uatu as well! 🙄 😛 )

No. It was obviously serious canon that should be taken as solid fact. Terrax and Thanos. Once is a bad writer, twice is a valid argument.

But yeah, seriously, why even feel the need to retcon this?
Re: Looks like the Thanos/Squirrel Girl incident has officially been retconned.

In the latest She-Hulk, the Thanos that recently appeared has been revealed to be a clone. As it turns out, this clone was created with every trait in Thanos's image. Even Thanos himself (the real Thanos) states:"When I am done, his brain shall mirror my own down to the last ganglion, neuron, and synapse. Gifted telepaths, [b]the most cosmic of beings
--even the clone himself--will believe himself to be me."So, I would believe the "most cosmic of beings" part refers to those on the level of the Watcher, which would mean Squirrel Girl did in fact only defeat the clone.
Keep in mind, this was written by Dan Slott, the same guy who wrote the Squirrel Girl owning. [/B]

Who cares. I really don't want to see Thanos turn into Darkseid with these retarded retcons
Plus it's funner to think of SG being a god.
Plus why would they ret con that shit anyway? I don't think anyone really takes it serious, and if they did, then it's not a bad showing since, SG has no bad showings.
I find Squirrel Girl to be a joke. How can her defeating Thanos, a once omnipotent villain who has god-like intellect, be taken seriously? And keep in mind M.O.D.O.K. and Terrax were also defeated, all in a day's work. Yeah right.
Thanos could have roasted an entire army of squirrels with the sway of an arm. We're talking about the villain who nuked his own ppl and dissected his own mother's murdered body.
Dan Slott is the worst writer I've come across for this very reason alone. If something's unbelievable even in a comic book...well, you get the general idea.
Oh, and this is a spoiler, but despite Thanos' seeming death in the Annihilation series, Keith Giffen has insinuated that Thanos may become the new Death. So I ask again, could a bushy-tailed nut muncher really defeat someone even half as formidable as Thanos?
Originally posted by GamesmasterI think what everyone is forgetting about the SG incident, is that Thanos had enough power to destroy the entire universe in his hands.

SG is a god, higher than Odin, higher than Eternity, higher than most. On-Panel evidence supports it too!
Who f*cking cares if it was an avatar or not, he had enough power to destroy the damn universe, so...
So nothing. Squirrel Girl is ultimately the creation of a misguided writer. He had his play with Marvel's universe, but now the conservatives of Marvel are setting it straight again, Giffen being one.
Consider this- Thanos had already defeated foes much stronger than even he, such as Tyrant. How? Through cunning and strategy. Someone who has peered into the Infinity Well for so long simply would not lose to Squirrel Girl, even if she is an amateur god.
Thanos is a fan favorite, even having various sites dedicated to him alone. I was hardpressed to find as much for Squirrel Girl. Thanos has been around for a while, and he'll be around long after Squirrel Girl has been forgotten.

The pyramatrix was a universal threat and in the hands of the mad titan who knows what cataclysm could have occured.
SG is multiversal abstract, at her worst. She could kill Mr. Immortal if she wanted to.
Originally posted by GamesmasterOf course, but... Squirrel Girl isn't just a person who controls squirrels, as shown on-panel (or off), and obviously her squirrels are more powerful than ordinary ones.

Yes, that writer is trying to do something (mysterious) with Thanos, but why does everyone b*tch about SG? It isn't even a bad showing for Thanos... not even close. It was a joke comic (canon none-the-less), and it didn't go against anything SG has done in the past. It doesn't matter about Thanos losing to her, just the same as it doesn't matter about Doom, Terrax, Modok, etc, losing to her either. It is obvious that she is above all of them.
He defeated Tyrant through his own eyes. In sheer battle might, Tyrant was the winner. Thanos won, in that he had recieved a challenge... a challenge that he had went through a bunch of people to find. In the fight, Tyrant won (barely), in what Thanos was looking to do, he won.
Would you be mad if Thanos lost to Eternity (a rough comparison)? Thanos again, had something that he could destroy the universe with, SG beat him.
Thanos is my favorite character. Still doesn't change the fact that she beat him. It wasn't pis, it wasn't writer stupidity (well... maybe), it is just the way she is written. Until she gets beaten by a hero or something, or hell... even get beat, we can then pull out the bullshit card. Fact is, nothing in history goes against that fight.
