I don't see how it does. The scan isn't clear as to what really happened. Only the writer knows. As long as there are no contradictions then yes anything can be interpreted as pretty much anything. That is why we have good debates and discussions.
No offense but that is dumb as you know what. Thanos has never has shown the physical power to damage CA's shield. Thor who is physically stronger than Odin, especially with the OF only managed to dent the shield using Mjolnir (a tool).I don't quite understand your words here. Sry but my English comprehension is not always sound. I'll try though.
Either he didn't keep a continuous amp going like you said or that writer was guilty of a human error (Happens all the time). I doubt the writer was trying to show Thanos amping occassionally at various times only. Also Thanos choosing not to amp on a punch is the same as him holding back on a punch (purposely punching with less force but still amped in strength). Either case is valid. I agree except that Thanos was always moving his hand (he never stopped till after SS missed). I was equating SS moving 32,000,000 times light speed with being over 32,000,000 times farther away than Superman will be.
Let t1 be the time it took for Thanos to react to SS in the feat, t2 be the time it takes for him to react to Superman, d1 be the distance SS was away from Thanos, d2 be the distance Superman is away from Thanos, r1 be SS's speed, and let r2 be Superman's speed.
d1=r1xt1
=>t1=d1/r1Now 32,000,000xd2 < d1 and 32,000,000xr2=r1 (since SS is more than 32,000,000 times farther away than Superman is from Thanos and assuming Superman only moves at 1x light speed instead of 32,000,000x light speed)
=> 1. d2 < d1/32,000,000 and 2. r2 = r1/32,000,000 (solving both eqns)
So d2=r2xt2
=>t2 = d2/r2
= d2/(r1/32,000,000) (by 2.)
=32,000,000d2/r1
<32,000,000(d1/32,000,000)/r1 (by 1.)
=d1/r1
= t1Thus t2 < t1 which means that Thanos has less time to react to Superman than he did SS.
Oh God...not this shit again.... facepalm
