Force fields vs. Shields

i have made the argument that Thanos cannot make force fields under his own power and uses tech. Someone tried to say that He create a force field when he was fighting one of the heralds. To this I say hogwash. they aren't the same at all. So is a force field different from a shield? And If so, which is superior?

I say a force field is superior to a shield, as Thanos has shown that he needs tech to make them. Force shields provide exact coverage on all sides and surround the person, where as a shield is limited by the scope of the field and can be gone around to the target. Discuss. Force Fields or Shields. which is superior and why.

Seriously guys, why get him wound up like this?

Um just discuss it. Are force shields and shields the same? If so why? if not why? Which is superior. Can thanos make FS on his own?

There both constructs made out of some manner of force 😐

forcefields are made of energy...therefore more versatile, but liable to break under stress of the person creating the forcefield

shields are usually made of tangible material (ie vibranium) and are more durable and does not depend on the user's energy level but also are less versatile

hope that clears it up

Yeah. So is a green lantern tonka truck used to slam someone. It's not a force shield neither is it a force field.

But if I can make a wall of force with my mind why can't I make a field (?) of force with it as well.

GL's demonstrate that quite nicely actually.

GL's are also more versatile than Thanos. But They make solid constructs that are usually shields and force fields tend to be Round. It's the premise of Force fields. They surround and are tuffer to break or get thru or around. Show me Thanos making a force field under his own power. Him creating a shield is not the same thing.

When did this become about Thanos?

The only difference between a field and a shield is the shape.

A shield can surround the body. Green Lantern's forcefield is often called an auto shield.

Omg no wai. PIS!

But semantics make things more powerful!

That depends on your definition of semantics.

It's still a force shield. Hence auto Shield.

Invisible Woman > SHIELD. I think that's conclusive evidence.

But it isn't shaped like one. That makes it a field.

Not True. Sue richards has held her force fields/shields under greater pressure and far longer than when her regular shields just get smashed thru. Happens to lanters as well. Thier force shields/fields, are superior to thier shields.

It surrounds them correct?
