Originally posted by Larcenyexactly he too thanos seriously enough to break out his strongest weapon and the fight was still pretty even. Odinw as winning the fight but by no clear marign, and even in the end thanos did not yeild. A powered up thanos was only able to survive against tyrant who was depowered. That alone should show a clear difference in power dispite anything else you might want to say for if Odin was close to Galactus he would have dispatched thanos in seconds not minutes. Odin was unable to put down thanos, thanos with a power up was barely able to survive his fight with depowered tyrant, need i go into further explination?
Um once.
Originally posted by Larcenyhe also says he is an enemy worthy of saluting, he clearly respect's Thanos' power and regards him as being oone of his most powerful opponents he's faced, your using the fact that he did not use those exact words as a cop out where is exact tone and everything else he said points to the same thing.
No what he says was he hasn't faced an opponent like you in eons. Much different from one of my toughest opponents ever.

Nowhere was it stated that Thanos was one of his most powerful opponents. He clearly and only stated that he hadn't faced someone like Thanos in eons. Much different meaning, and you my friend are doing the twisting.
Originally posted by Larcenyi'm not twising anything, Odin clearly could not put Thnos down easily, he stated several times during the fight that he respected thanos and how powerful he is, Thanos took Odin's best shots quite well and kept coming at him, and when someone is using phrases like " i havent fought someone like you in eons" and "you are clearly and advasary worth saluting" it is clearly implied that's what his oppinion of him is. He certainly wouldnt praise a weaker enemy like that now would he.

Odin wasn't even straining nor was he concerned. Thanos never landed a solid shot or a shot at all for that matter. His shields were easily swept away, and he was humiliated throughout the fight.
How many characters don't respect Thanos?
Where did you get the idea that Odin was giving Thanos all he had? I don't recall that being depicted in the comic.
Again, he stated he respected Thanos but nowhere in the comic was it even hinted that Thanos was one of the most powerful foes Odin faced.
When did Thanos become weak?
Originally posted by LarcenyWow you have a completely differnt view of that fight. They were clearly exchanging blows during the begining of that fiht with neither one of them showing any signs of damage. About mid way through the fight Odin whips out gunguir something he rarely does in battle. Also where were Thanos's sheilds? because it seems to me like he didnt even use them in that fight. Thanos was far from humiliated in that fight as it was pretty even all the way up till the end. The statements I refer to are all over that fight, the language and workind Odin was using was quite strong, he would not use such strong word like that if he didnt think thanos was powerful. How often is it that Odin praises his enemies? not very often.

Thanos never hurt Odin, even when combining his blast with Surfers. Odin hurt Thanos. Thanos used his shields, just not in a defensive manner. He attempted to encase Odin in a shield as he did WM Thor. Thanos shield was swept away as if it were a fly. Thanos never displayed any type of advantage in that fight. He never did anything with the exception of getting knocked away.
Thanos is powerful, he's one of the most dangerous characters in comic dome. Paying respects to him isn't astonishing.

What? Claiming he hadn't fought a character like Thanos in eons has no correlation to equal power.

Originally posted by LarcenyOdin obviously didn't have a walk in the park fighing him now did he, thanos did not show any signs of weaking till near the end of the fight and even then he wasn't completely beaten. Thanos still wanted to fight he would have gone down not too much longer after that but the point is the fight was not out of him yet.

So you mean to tell me if you easily beating someone your gonna comment about how you haven't had a tough fight like that in a while? NO you wouldn't say somthing like that unless you were having a tough battle. I'm not sayin he ws Odin's toughest but the asgardian himself stated the titan was a worthy foe, he wouldn't say something like that if it wasnt true.
Odin did not easily beat Thanos like you believe he had to work for that win, and he definatly put some effort into it, and dispted it all he could not completely put him down and out, so now your gonna say he can take on some one leauges above that in power

Um, yes he did.
Odin was beating Thanos ass. Thanos wouldn't stay down. Odin says he hadn't faced someone like him in ages. No correlation to similar power.
Yes he did. Made obvious by the fact that he wasn't touched at all throughout the whole battle. Most of what you see is Odin sending Thanos in every which direction.
It's like a boxing match. One boxer may be dominating another, but that doesn't mean the fight wont go 12 rounds.
