This whole post is made of straw, man. You pullin out straw man arguments here...all form, no substance.Your logic is so flawed.
There are two ways to interpret Galactus' statment.
1. Face value (your way)
2. Comparative statement (my way)
Face value means Galactus is making an observation. So in effect, if you go with this interpretation, Galactus is just observing what Thanos uses.
Now Thanos uses "all defensive shielding." Yet you mistakenly insist the burden of proof is on me.
[b]Who is activating the shields, Thanos or Galactus? Who is calling on a stated number of shields, Thanos or Galactus? Who is making a statement in response to the shields called upon, Thanos or Galactus?
Explain what "activate all defensive shielding" means. You can stamp your feet all you want and say the burden of proof is on me but you haven't gone NEAR this statement because you have NOTHING to counter this.
You are essentially calling Thanos a liar and/or ignorant concerning his own technology. By implication, you are saying Galacuts knows more about Thanos' tech than Thanos himself does. By taking Galactus' words as a comparative statment (which I do, as well as being the grammaticaly correct way to interpret it), both characters are correct in their statements. However, since you insist on the banal face value of the statement, the result is you insist on overriding Thanos' own words for Galactus'. So now you have one character lying (THANOS) and one omniscient (GALACTUS). So Thanos himself doesn't know how many shields he uses, but of course Galactus knows, being a higher abstract entity.
And since you have such low faith in Thanos' own words, you decide he is actually telling the truth about Omega and his power levels. LOL at your nonexistant logic.
Clearly, your illogical reasoning is logical only to you. Once I have time away from work and at my machine I will post all necessary scans relevant to the discussion at hand so your false logic is exposed.
You are correct Thanos wasn't there to destroy Galactus. What you failed to mention is that Thanos blasted Galactus once, Galactus returned and nearly killed Thanos, and Thanos had NO RECOURSE but to beg. Do you think Thanos, who prepares for any eventuality, PLANNED TO BEG ON HIS KNEES like a male pornstar with his dick about to chopped off???
No, instead Thanos planned to prevent Galactus from releasing Hunger. Thanos was there to convince Galactus from going through with a plan that would (so Galactus hoped) rid the universe of his eternal hunger. Thanos is there to prevent an abstract entity from achieving its highest, darkest desire. And you are telling me that Thanos didn't even prepare for the eventuality that opposing Galactus' darkest wish would result in Thanos' very life being threatened? LOL. Why do you think Thanos WAS BEGGING Galactus to spare him just to hear him out?
I know what your answer is. Thanos planned to beg, so he brought weaker shields because he wasn't going to war against Galactus, like he did against Omega. You have analyzed the story in such small terms. [/B]
1.Why wouldnt we take it at face value?
2.Ok,even if I were to humor you here you still dont know and cant tell me how many shields he used. Thats the point. You keep speculating. If you say three or four its still speculation. My interpretation isnt guessing while yours is.
Are you telling me that Galactus wouldnt know how many shields was using?
How many shields is it then? I have already explained to you the answer. Answer the question and tell me how you came to that conclusion.
Thanos used the words three shields against Omega. He called on all defensive shielding. Galactus calls it a mere forcefield. What else am I supposed to think? You cant even give me a straight answer.
I am not calling Thanos a liar. I explained what he did. Its funny how you want to accept Thanos' statements here and totally disregard his statement concerning Omega's power levels. I have explained that he meant. He didnt use a number and have explained myself. Thanos isnt a liar and was correct about Omega's power level. My explanation makes sense while yours accepts Thanos; words in one instance and totally disregards it in another. Why,because you cant accept Omega is more powerful than Galactus.
I trust his words. If he said three shields I would believe three shields. How many shields does all mean to you?
Thanos attacked Galactus because that was the only way he could stop him. It didnt work and Galactus released Hunger. If Thanos had gone there to blast him and do battle he would have had a better plan. If you deny this you are out of your mind.
Thanos planned to get him to stop. He didnt listen. Thanos called upon the shielding he had available to him. Thats all he could do at the time. He wasnt there without a shield,but the shield he brought was clearly inferior to the Omega one.
Is Omega more powerful than Galactus?
