Do you have scans?And as you are the only one so far who will give answers on stuff, off the top of your head how many times has Superman blitzed someone with a combo that ends in a ko to anyone with the same lvl of durability to Thanos.
As for scans, I'll see if I can't find them.

I know it would have taken less time from a closer distance, but it's still a helluva feat. Thanos doesn't need to be able to react to a 32,000,000x lightspeed blitz unless Supes can pull one off. The fact that he was able to react(even at that distance) still proves that Thanos has FTL reflexes.It was actually over a lightyear.
As I said before, the narrator's comment doesn't take away from Thanos's feat. If DD swings at Supes and Supes ducks or sidesteps the punch, "DD misses his target" would be an accurate description.
Proof that his speed was amped?
Where do you get the 32,000,000 number anyway? I'm curious.
And you misunderstand, I'm not imposing my interpretation of what happen but only mentioning that there are other valid interpretations as well.
My theory can be correct as well as yours. It is highly possible that Thanos didn't react at all to SS but SS merely missed. The narrator's comment doesn't necessarily take away from the feat but it sure takes away from the surety of the feat.
Didn't Thanos kill CA with a smack or damage CA's shield? I'm not sure. If so, doesn't this prove an amp?
With that said, even if we except everything you said then it still doesn't quantify the feat as a ftl reflex action. This is because distance was unknown and Thanos barely moved in the whole scene.
If Superman can move at least light speed and Surfer was more than 32,000,000 times further away (over a light year remember) than Superman will be then wouldn't make sense that Thanos would have even less time to react?
Originally posted by JuntaiThe power gem has never shown to amp relfexes(Thor, Drax or Magus for example) and the only other gems that could factor into it are the space and time ge. He cleary didnt stop or manipulate time as he was shown to do, as with the space gem he demonstrated using to Drax/Surfer the same way Runner did omni telerporting( leaving a trail behind him of sorts) which Thanos never had, so if he had used them it would of being shown in some way imo.
We know the infinity gauntlet amps him, and we know the only limit he put on himself was sensory imput. He still otherwise had the full power of the gems and all they lend him.
He was most asuredly amped in the story's context.
If you want to suggest he wasn't- you have to prove that. It's not a negative.
Originally posted by NihilistRunner's speed against Thanos was under his own power. Thanos even mentioned that the only effect Runner drew from it because he didn't understand it, would be occasional instant teleport to another location. Which is the same effects Runner mentioned having previously- that he appeared in locations just by thinking about it.

Trails were left by speed alone, like say.. Superman does.

You're interpretation defies logic though. If we go that route, anything can be interpreted as pretty much anything.
Not really. The shield's been damaged by skyfather level characters before so it's entirely possible that Thanos could break it without an amp. Not that I think he did mind you because I'm of the firm opinion that he did in fact amp various things throughout the fight, but I don't think he kept any kind of continuous amp going. After all, if the amps were continuous it would mean that a couple of characters took punches that could have broken Cap's shield.
It was over a lightyear away and Thanos and Cap were just standing there so we have a minimum quantification(over 32,000,000x lightspeed) and can be reasonably sure that Thanos moved his hand after seeing the Surfer(we see a close up of Thanos's eye with a silver gleam in it right before Surfer gets there).
Huh?

He gained all this knowledge of of 2 ways
1.From the Infinity well
2.Through the power gem alwing him to tap into each gem.
