Wait what?Are you suggesting that Odin could have but chose not to fight back against Thanos and Tarakis there?
I mean, that's what the second statement implies when you say that Odin shows he wasn't incapacitated when he teleports to Thor. It's outright said that the potion has left him helpless and will do whatever Thanos wishes:

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Thanos/Thor_vol2-523-021-15.jpgOdin actually tries his best to resist, and does so better than anyone, but fails. Clearly the effects wear off to some extent by the time he teleports to Thor but he's still weakened by the daily doses throughout the rest of the arc.
Btw, the only reason he was taking any potion is because he was so weakened by Zelia draining his power and torturing him during the Dark Gods arc. A weakness plot device tying into another weakness plot device. Don't see those often....
It wasn't stated that the potion was some truth drug. And considering Odin was taking it for a couple days it seems unlikely that he was actually incapacitated. Especially when he teleports out immediately after they leave and then does Odin shit while still stated to be under the effects of the poison.
Seems like he feigned incapacitation to figure out what was going on. I mean like 5 minutes later the guy trapped Loki in a human... Seems kind of odd when he goes from not being able to move to teleporting and doing high level magic.
Though ultimately irrelevant since he confirmed a whole bunch that he could not beat Thanos in his weakened form so there's that.
I understand how weak Odin was. It has no bearing on his stature. It's just saying that a being (if you'd prefer) who can one punch Ulik cannot beat Thanos. Pretty good feat on his behalf. And while Odin was nowhere near full power he was still doing some big dick shit. That's all.

If Odin could move or teleport and wasn't being forced to obey Thanos' commands, then why would he give them the map when Thaos doesn't even know where it is?
😂
It's outright stated by Tarakis that an INCAPACITATED Odin is being forced to obey Thanos:.
Did he get better? Obviously.
Whether this was because the potion peak with that dose and then lost effectiveness or only worked for Thanos, I don't know, I can't pretend to do anything other than give it my best guess.
But saying that Odin did what he did on purpose, is retarded. Especially based on the context of the situation and that they are in Asgard (Where if needed, Odin can stomp Thanos even when weakened).
Just seems odd that he went from incapacitated to walking around and doing Odin things as soon as they left, while being under the effects of the poison the entire time.
Whether right or wrong, my best explanation is he was "faking".
Though it doesn't really matter as he was below Thanos as that point in time either way you look at it. Which is the main point. Not that it has much relevance on Odin since he was so weakened, but it's impressive for Thanos.
Anyway. a couple more feats I noticed that I never see brought up on the forum. Thor was taking a terrible amount of shots from Mangog in that arc. Mangog one shotted Ulik, and effortlessly tore apart Orikal in that arc, who was supposed to be some sort of supreme power. Including taking a speedblitz by Mangog...
As well as Thanos seemed to be using superspeed when he had the power, and Thor was reacting to him fine.
Also perhaps the most impressive one, after taking a beating from a Tarene enhanced Destroyer, Thor was able to lockup with it for minutes after using Tarene's hammer (which was almost as powerful as Mjolnir) while the Destroyer had Mjolnir.
I'd make a joke about dynamic strength, but you know...
So simply being stronger than Thor doesn't seem to be enough.

That's not even necessary, when Thor has a far better feat than the Doomsday-dismemberment at Superman's hands.

So the Superfanboys are even trolling Thor threads to feed their inferiority complexes now.
Originally posted by riv6672you just have to look at the posters that champion Superman , it becomes clear the are all insecure crybabies with massive inferiority complexes
What is it about the character that draws this kind of fan, i wonder?
Its like they gloss over the second part of his name and fixate on the first.
Personally, i like that Thor isnt THE most powerful character in comics.
That makes for boring story telling.
I think Superfanboys would be perfectly happy with multiple S books filled with 22 pages of Superman gazing into the distance, backlit dramatically.

He did that with pure strength? Redirecting Glory's attack is now a feat of power for Thor?A strength feat? Do tell.
Thor killing a skyfather level character despite being weakened himself by the attack is a much better feat than Superman's.
Also, reported for trolling a Thor thread with your unneeded Superman bullshit.

After all this time, Walter Simonson will be back on Thor. I definitely think it'd be worth checking out for any Thor fans out there. Or comic book fans in general.
