I thought that was kinda cool. Funny, but cool. Turner's artwork = awesome.

His art was ... unique but I think it worked well with the otherworldiness of his stories. It could have been better but it somehow seemed to fit with the crazy science and mysticism that are part of the 4th world.
Originally posted by TricksterPriestDs used Orion to kill him. He didn't do it with his own power.
BULLSHIT. That was the FTL bullet that killed Orion fired from a New God gun. 👇 He let Batman fire the bullet." Doesn't matter what he 'supposedly' was. He has higher feats. And other skyfathers' powers."
And Darkseid showed he was more powerful when he [b]killed
him in Foundations. [/B]
Originally posted by TricksterPriestNo, he doesn't. The god of time created a being with the purpose of destroying Thanos. Order and Chaos have also been involved in defeating him. Thanos usually contends with the universe while Superman is usually all that is needed to defeat darkseid nowadays.
No, he's got worse enemies than Thanos ever had to deal with.And frankly? He succeeded in the face of greater opposition. Yes, he failed in the end, OF TRYING TO REPLACE GOD and crushing the multiverse in the process, and yet he brought down New Genesis and Earth. He caused untold suffering and destruction. It took several plot devices to bring him down.
Plus villains ALWAYS FAIL.
Originally posted by AllanklesThanos succeeds while Darkseid fails. He failed in acquiring the godwave. Ares beat him to it and also did something ds was never able to achieve killing Izaya.
Don't even start that Quanesque propaganda, Thanos isn't fit to wear DS' jockstrap. 😉Thanos has never succeeded in anything that required above 5th grade machinations. When every great achievement you've had is down to acquiring one multiversal plot device after another, you're not so hot.
Please! Give me a story where Thanos great victories weren't down to the laziest writing in comics?
Meanwhile, DS has a track record stretching millenia as the ruler of a stable universe-spanning empire. It's much harder taking over a planet full of multiverse heroes, than it is snatching up a few gems, artifacts and wells of power.
Don't confuse cheap, with great.
Your complaints are purely subjective ones and biased ones. Thanos triumphs. Thanos wanted to conquer Titan and he did so. He wanted the cc and he got it. He wanted the ig and he got it. He wanted the hotu and he got it.
Ds wanted the ale. Thirty years later he eventually got half of the equation. He failed in overcoming the Source in death of the new gods. He stalemated genesis for years but through the ale he finally overcame them. Ds needed a powerup to defeat his long time enemies. In the end he lost to Superman yet again in fc.
Ds is a failure.
