Darkseid vs Thanos(engineering an empire)

Started by Mindset10 pages

I don't like Doom, I just recognize his brilliance and overall superiority over most comic characters.

No.

Inventions, military science, devotion/loyalty, size, influence, industry. DS has experience in all of this and thus stomps Thanos by default. Thanos doesn't really have the track record.

As far as economy goes Apokolips doesn't use the flawed human models of economy. He can create city-planets with power and energy being supplied by vast fire pits.

The only department Thanos might get the nod by default is the number of wealthy individuals.


do you just make stuff up for the sake of it?

it's obvious you think thanos is far superior,but you just post nonsense to try and convince yourself.

😬 Your welcome to your opinion. I don't see the superiority, but I do see the ham fisted nature of his character though.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

Art? Yes. But culture is a more broad subject.

Then by all means give me the culture your referring to when speaking of DS planet?

😛 I don't have to make stuff up, Thanos doesn't have the track record.

DS has already been a part of mental conditioning projects, galactic conquests, pantheon conquests, been worshipped across the cosmos, building armies, fleets and their armaments. He always has scientists turning his ideas into reality.

He's already made long lasting inventions. He uses Apok weapons and inventions and uses them to spread his influence across many worlds. He's been there done that. The tech level of Apok speaks for itself.

Culture:-

the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution, organization or group.

Anything that characterizes an empire, nation, etc is it's culture.

So? I don't see how what you've written makes Thanos a better character. You've only given me the same points that make Thanos dull.

There's nothing there that makes a good foil for a hero.

I doubt you do, given that you think the ALE is in every DS related story when that doesn't come close to being the case.

The ALE is knowledge, a doctrine that states that DS is the rightful master of all sentient beings in the universe. If it were merely a gem or some device, you'd have a point, but it is more than that ...

Too bad Thanos's plans only go as far as stealing a few trinkets and tech.

Thanos isn't dull to me and has actually changed which is far more interesting to me than I want to control everyone and everything. Ds doesn't even stand out in that regard.

No, I said that the ale is mentuioned far too much and that he is still relying on it even in today's stories. Thanos seeks something and gains it in that story. Ds pisses around and takes years to achieve his goals.

The ale is a plot device and gives him the ability to control beings outside his power. Spin it however you want he still lost with the ale like usual.

Saying this about Thanos sounds to me like you have Thanos envy. Being a ds fan I can see why.

That's not true. Leading armies, having galaxy-spanning followings, subjecting the entire f*cking Marvel Universe to his rule, Thanos has done all that before. And it was all covered on the previous page, so I don't get why you're saying he doesn't have the track record.

The thread is about running and sustaining an empire. Collecting artifices doesn't count.

He's still run an entire planet before (well, moon - Titan.) And the other stuff brought up isn't just written off because of the 'no artifacts' clause.

I picked it up, I think I have every issue save, Revelations 5, don't know what happened there. I thought FC was building up nicely up till after FC 5.

But you brought up his artifice collection feats. That doesn't translate to leading and sustaining an empire.

Why would I be envious of a guy who's entire history is littered with poor writing and simplistic plot progression? Come back to me when someone writes a decent story on Post TQ Thanos.
