Thanos has sustained quite a force early on and has shown the ability to be able to do so. If he wanted to it's an easy fix,but he usually doesn't need all the help.

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.

There are plenty of great Thanos stories out there. His series I enjoyed,the ig story,etc.

Don't hate on him because he is held in a higher regard to fans in general than Darkseid.

DS wins. Thanos doesn't have what it takes in this scenario.

Thanos incites a riot and Ds's forces turn on Ds. Thanos for the win. He can sit on his ass and tear Ds's army apart from the inside.

Absolutely nothing. Especially the sixteen years with PC Supes.

Thanos has had experience with building an army. Just because Ds has done this longer that doesn't mean he would win this particular thread based on that fact. Most of Ds's poor population utterly despise him.

Quan, do you know why most of them don't rebel? It's because they FEAR him. They are slaves to his will because they honestly believe he is GOD. Apokolips is Darkseid's ideal society, formed to his specifications and will.

Any Empire he creates will be built on these principles. An army of fanatics devoted to a leader as a supreme deity, with terrible wrath and a single command.

DIE FOR DARKSEID!

Darkseid's ideal is to break people, to make them feel life itself is worthless and there is no point to anything. In essence, to embrace the ideal of Anti-life.

They feel life is worthless, yet they fear for their lives?

Yes, they fear him but wouldn't hesitate to replace him with a new leader or mock him as they did when Yuga came to town.

The Ig story: no real drama, no intrigue. One sided plot progression, a shallow set of huddles, a typical Thanos tale.

The IG story was a bit better than Hunger and Infity Abyss, which is to say it was tolerable - especially after TQ - but that's not saying much.

..........Yuga was the former ruler who Darkseid deposed on his quest to take over Apokolips. That might have something to do with it. And really? Yuga Khan? A being capable of soloing Asgard or Olympus?

I could care less if you idolize Thanos, good stories and Thanos are separated by a dimension called "good writing".

Goes down better than Infinity Abyss, you should try some. Maybe when someone writes Thanos a decent tale, I'll have good things to say on the matter.

What? The universe was in peril and the heroes matched an offensive while meph convinced him to lower his powers to give them a chance. Thanos still triumphed and then took on the gods of the universe. It was quite epic with him in the meantime taking out half the universe, cutting off odin and the gods on asgard, etc.

In fc you had Ds still chirping about the ale.........then batman comes in and deals the fatal blow to the mighty darkseid with a gun that shoots radion. The epic storyline ended with me utterly bored and Mandrakk being the true villain not Ds.

Fc will never ever be held in the same regard as the ig.
