Doom's shields have been broken and they're not portrayed that way via illustration/statement. But we know it happened.

Thanos shields are not the same as Iron patroits so trying to use that as example doesnt work.
You're trying to equate a character, when I'm telling you comic book fact. Comic artists portray forcefields differently. Many don't even bother portraying them at all. The only time they were portrayed as explicitly inuring to Iron Man and Doom's body was in
Mighty Avengers. You can't one artist's drawing style to assert that Iron Man and Doom never had such a force-field before.

Every artist/writer who has worked on Thanos who has had him use shields has either shown/indicated that he has/had used shields, and seeing as Starlin wrote this story and know how Thanos works with the use of shields, so why wouldnt he tell the artist he wants Thanos using shields when the artist is following Starlin lead/intstructions.All of this is speculation, but there is far more to support that he didnt use shields(on panel proof and satements) than that he did as he has never used shields like that(around his body) before.
Starlin didn't show Thanos' shields or mentioned them when he got sucked into a blackhole and nearly killed. That's Starlin's own choice.
There is nothing to support that he refused to use his shields. It completely goes against his character and the situation he was in.

Difference is.. when they wrecked them.. THEY WERE DRAWN YOu IDIOT. Against Champion they were even referenced to be failing.. like against Omega and Galactus... UNLIKE Odin and Tyrant. Why did you just post this so you could look like a bigger tool. You used examples that don't support your theory.I already destroyed your theory that they are always up.. you have claimed this.. I tooled that before.. and now you've changed it to.. they aren't always up. If you question you did say they wree always up I'll find the post and show you to be a liar. You've changed it now to.. they aren't up always.. just during all his fights... However, that little concession means they aren't always up.. and since they weren't drawn or implied in these fights.. most likely they weren't up.
What is worse.. is he has also claimed that they are always the same shielding not different variety... That argument is tooled simply by the Omega fight where he SPECIFICALLY says he's glad he brought enough shields or he wouldn't have survived. That canon fight make it clear he can bring higher shielding when need be and they aren't always the same.
I mentioned that scene to banish any suggestion that DP Tyrant or Odin aren't powerful enough to wreck Thanos' shields. They obviously are, since PG Champion and PG Thor wrecked them.
I have not posited here that Thanos' shields are up in perpetuity. It's not like he keeps them up when he sits on the toilet bowl and relieves himself and craps all over himself. He can turn them off. I'm arguing (and I continue to point this out), that he wouldn't have turned them off against DP Tyrant and Odin. He used Silver Surfer's aid, he used experimental weaponry, he used his body armor durability enhancement, he relied on the orb amp... why would he turn off his shields? Answer: he likely didn't. They just weren't portrayed by the artist or mentioned by the writer. That has happened.
