i still believe that the beams DID affect g -- maybe they . . . partially erased him, hence the watered-down colouring which was clearly intentional? anyway, interpret as you will. 🙂 it's always been funny to me that thanos was able to apparently 'damage' g like he did, but odin casually withstood many more blasts and never once looked like he was hurt at all.
Really? What evidence is there to suggest that the "erasing effect" is all that powerful? I've been trying to get an example of DS successfully using against a top tier for a while now, and I haven't been shown a single example of it yet. That's not to say that his OE isn't incredibly useful and handy to have against those of a lower tier, but I haven't seen him erase anyone of note personally.
about the best erasing feat i know of is agogg, who pretty handily whooped down orion and lightray at the same time. that's a very powerful combo. but it's also ko'd pre-c monel as well as a number of top tier guys including both superman and orion. the fact that supes has resisted the OE has sorta been blown out of proportion. the OE has affected superman very badly on MANY occasions and orion too. there's a scene in new gods where he is using it to wipe out various unrevealed 'gods' but their levels are never mentioned nor are their faces shown. could thanos's blasts do the same? likely. in terms of sheer 'power output' they are both likely the same. the OE is simply much more versatile, which is why i'd take it over the standard blasts that thanos offers.
The plot device I was referring to was her all of the sudden drawing her power from hyperspace, and being able to take down guys like Celestials and Galactus. So I guess her power itself may not be a plot device, but her power SOURCE(which is what allows her to do that kind of thing) certainly is. And Galactus himself said that he'd NEVER had to exert himself the way he did to blast though Thanos's shields, so if Sue's withstood him he was either a whole lot weaker(understandable since he was pretty well fed against Thanos), or he just wasn't trying as hard against her.
maybe. then again hulk was the toughest guy superman ever fought too. 😉 regardless, it's still speculatory regarding the nature of sue's power though. nate guessed that she may draw power from hyperspace. and even if it is derived from hyperspce, the feat is no less impressive and penetrating his armor AND body>scuffing his armor.
I was honestly unaware of those instances you mentioned(sounds like something I'll have to check out), but destroying the armor is still something that DS was unable to do.
but partially erasing g (which is how i interpret the colouring scheme in that scene) was something thanos couldn't do. and impressing galactus was also something thanos coudln't do. 🙂
