Let's say Odin did give his all. Where in any of the panels did Thanos even knock Odin off his feet? Who needs Gungnir? I see you wanted to get into with Quan and merely quoted another post of mine and said really nothing of importance. Since you seem to want to get into a discussion on this topic.. Please address my post below and why I feel like Thanos wins both 1 & 2
Honestly this thread is really a joke. Thanos wins both and very easily in the last one. All it takes is basic logic and reason which seem to be lacking around here. He stomps Odin with ease in the second scenario… A clone with minimal effort or planning beat Odin and made him a non factor as they invaded Asgard. The real Thanos with 5 days prep WTF PWNS Odin with ease.
Now the first Scenario isn't quite the stomp the second one is and Odin does put up a fight and might take a win or two. Maybe. However, Thanos wins a clear majority in this encounter as well. Again, logic and reason make this rather apparent. For arguments sake let's say Odin wasn't going "all out" as I don't have too much issue with this. I could be argued he was but IMO I don't think he was giving it his total best or all out. However, the comic make it rather clear through narration and depiction a few telling things…. First Thanos had trapped his son and this certainly made Odin very pissed. Second, Thanos was invading Asgard and had wiped out many of his warriors before Odin even arrived and obviously he wasn't happy Asgard was being invaded. He speaks many times about wanting to kill Thanos, which again along with the previous facts make it rather clear he was certainly putting forth good effort to do so. Odin's initial attacks that one-shot heralds have little effect on Thanos. He takes some and fires some back. However, lets also understand the context of the shots from both… Odin was pissed and trying to kill Thanos… Thanos wasn't looking for a fight but rather help from Odin to cure his son. Why would you try and ko or kill someone who you need help from before this other guy breaks free and becomes a threat to the universe? The answer is you wouldn't. So that is the context behind those shots from both.
Next we see Odin pull out his spear to put more pressure and bring more firepower to the table. Why would you do so if you weren't trying? The answer is you wouldn't. This is made apparent again by his words and actions. Odin was clearly giving forth good effort to put down this invader and person who captured his son. Not to mention how Thanos mocked him and talked trash to him the whole fight…. Regardless, he pulls out his spear which amps and channels his destruction and Thanos decides to again prove to Odin that he can take whatever he can dish out. Decides to walk right through this now more potent blasts to prove a point. He does so and proves that point. However, is that Thanos fighting smart or tactical like we know he can? Nope.. he decides to walk right through the shot instead of call upon his shields to block that attack or any attacks the whole fight. Lastly, Odin's own words speak to how powerful he considers Thanos… "You drawn on a dark source of power that rivals mine and has no limits" "I haven't fought a foe like you in EONS" I think we all know how long eons is and how many people Odin has fought in that time. Thanos was the top dog and Odin makes this clear. Further proof… Yes Odin was winning and probably would've won.. however that is no sure thing, especially when it comes to comics. How many times have we seen someone just butt-raping another for the majority of the fight and next thing you know… bam.. the tide turns. It happens a lot. Further Thanos has shown the ability and intelligence to back away and leave when he knows he's beat. He has done so against Galactus and Tyrant for example. He knew he couldn't compete with them and has decided to flee before he gets killed. Do we see him have any kind of thoughts like this with Odin? No. Why because he knows he can compete with him and it will be a good fight. Sure he might not win but he's not totally outclassed or fears dying as he has others by engaging.
So.. what does all this prove… well through logic, reason and simple deduction it's rather obvious that Thanos can compete with a 100% Odin who he's not trying to put down but Odin is trying to put him down for panel after panel and earn Odin's praise and respect. Yet, some people think a 50% Odin can put Thanos down and take a clear majority? That is just crazy talk [/B]
So you actually think he was going all out right? All I see is Odin using blasts and pulling out Gungnir. Had Starlin allowed Odin to grow in size or tap into Asgard, what do you think would've happened? Tried to kill? Even after Annihilus had attack Asgard and drained the life force of it's citizen, Odin still spared his life. Had Odin been written dragged him into the middle of space and battled him from there, how is Thanos going stand up to Odin who has flight while the best Thanos could manage is levitation? The number of times Odin has fought galaxy levelers and death gods and won is more than Thanos could ever make claim. Thanos could barely keep up with Tyrant. The only fight he's won was against an unstable Kosmos/Maker. Other than that, he's lost to Galactus, ran from Tyrant, and keep getting up when Odin put him down. Never once did he even manage to move Odin off his feet with ANY ATTACK. This was one of Odin's more low showings and even then he managed to make Thanos look like a chump. He dropped meteors onto Thanos. Contrast that to how he was dragging Forsung through the cosmos and smashing him into stars. Big difference.
Furthermore, you make it sound as if Thanos was there to eat dirt. He agreed that they were going to do it the hard way. He doesn't have to kill Odin but he didn't have to lose either. He looked to be getting slapped around throughout the fight. Never once did he even manage a strong enough shot to move Odin off his feet.
At half power Odin, this would be close but Odin would still win. A poisoned Odin who hadn't the strength to fight still easily one-shot k.o. Ulik. Another instance, a sick Odin one-shots Annihilus who Thor could not defeat.
