To be fair, the kind of very powerful beings Galactus has faced, like Tyrant, Mephisto, In-Betweener, Aggamotto etc don't even seem to employ any obvious shields a lot of the time. They are probably durable enough not to need them - they just stand there and kind of take his blasts in a fight.Galactus did after all call it a 'mere' force field as though he doesn't think much of force fields in general. Interesting considering that Invisible Woman, Quasar, Magneto, and others have all blocked Galactus' blasts, and even multiple blasts while Thanos' shield was about to be destroyed by a "second blast".

Actually this only strengthens my position... If forcefields are very low-end to Galactus, Thanos's must really be something if it captured his attention.
Possibly. OTOH if someone hid a lead weight inside a pile of laundry and I went to pick it up, I would be no doubt be surprised by the weight. I might even say something like "truly I have never had to expend so much effort to lift a mere pile of laundry - I am truly impressed by this laundry". But it still wouldn't require much effort to lift it - just more than I was expecting.
I think the scene intended to establish two things - 1 that Thanos has incredibly powerful shields, and 2 that Galactus is so powerful that even those shields are little protection against him.
Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that Invisible Woman's FField, Magneto's shields, Quasar's shields and others have been able to take as many blasts or more from Galactus as Thanos's did. It's just one of those cases where the hyperbole of the writer's dialogue contradicts actual on panel events. Maybe the writer didn't know. Maybe Galactus just has a bad memory.

Thanos had just blasted Galactus out his ship and was bouncing in the planets surface.
For someone who is as proud as Big G, I doubt he was in the best moods when he blasted Thanos.
It was no warning shot. Plus Thanos has survived a blast from Omega 2x Big G's power. Also Tyrant, the maker, ect.
But eh..

Hell, if he knew he wasn't going to do shit to Celestials, then why did he attack them.
Or when he created the Destroyer armor...
Didn't Doom beat his ass with some artifacts as well? He should have knew better to stay away.
Etc.

Trouble? The only thing troublesome about the battle was well.... nothing. Unless of course your referring to the trouble Thanos had attempting to even tarnish Odin's clothes.

1st off no-one beats Thanos easily, 2nd what could Odin do to Thanos?
No one has answered that question. Come with some Facts and Feats don't just say someone will win uhh...Just Because! That sounds stupid, develop an arguement.
It has been shown that Thanos's shields can take more than Odin can dish out (ie Galactus angry & Omega very angry!), He's smarter (can Prep during the battle) and has FAR Superior Mental defenses and Offenses (attacked Galactus mentally & Literally drove Drax insane)
Once again what can Odin do to Thanos?

You're questioning Odin's power? Someone whose power can affect the universe and who has had a multiverse-shaking battle before? Not to mention that Thanos and Odin have already fought, and Thanos did absolutely nothing to him. Sorry, but the Mad Titan has quit a ways to go before he can touch Odin.

The same thing he did the first time but to an even greater degree.
What are you talking about? He's already defeated him. Quite handedly actually.
It took one blast from Galactus. There isn't any reason to assume Odin can't do the same. Especially when considering his battles have effected the multiverse.
Kill him.
Originally posted by King Kandya fair argument dispite the fact that thanos lost the first time it was far from a one sided curb stomp like some people think, thanos proved that he could keep up with odin in a short term battle, post upgrades he should have somewhat of a slight edge over odin.
