Because TOAA could have done anything to stimulate the situation. Because after all, he could have done it himself if he wanted to.

Okay but he didn't and needed to select somebody that could handle the job and the only person to handle the job. That makes it less impressive? Hardly

But whatever, I said what I had to say
Originally posted by xJLxKingNo, they don't. Superman didn't save the day in scorps war did he?
No, because the writer always chooses to pick Superman to say the day 😂Think about it, Mandrakk, DS, or anyone else.
That also has nothing to do with willpower.
Orion has also stopped Ds and Superman has had plot devices which didn't require anywhere near the willpower like absorbing the supreme being's power into oneself.
Originally posted by KuRuPT Thanosithe ALE had nothing to do with the multiverse-crushing singularity - that was ALL darkseid. the ALE simply allowed him to control the minds of sentient beings within the multiverse.
Ummmm it wasn't under his own power though Galan. You mentioned his sheer will or willpower that allowed him to do that. Well, he also had a powerup in the ALE that as you know is directly related to controlling minds and taking away will power. Thus, it was a boost to his willpower so to speak. The reason why the ALE is like a powerup, is because others have used it before not just DS, it's not only his to use. Therefore, all he accomplished was not under his own power and the "powerup" he had was directly related to control others willpower and minds. However, I do concede, even with that it was still a great feat and took A LOT of willpower and power in general to do what he did.
anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Twice now you attempted to claim that TOAA did not want Thanos to have it. Now you change your argument because you realized how stupid it was.

I never said that TOAA did not want Thanos to have THOTU. Never. What I said was that THOTU was destructive to anyone who tried to use it, and only Thanos had the will to subjugate it and not be destroyed. Guys like Akhenaten and the Celestial order had to just siphon finite amounts because none had what was necessary to use the totality of the power.
Actually he wants the anti-life equation so he can control all life. And I thought Darkseid's will is eternal?
Unlike Thanos Darkseid is actually a force of nature, the manifestation of evil in the cosmic balance.
No reason why he should lose a will power battle to anything but an abstract.
As far as Thanos HOTU feat is concerned, its impressive but Thanos success was arranged by TOAA.

Wow I was hoping this had been cleared up by now. Thanos's willpower is above abstracts. It was stated if Eternity was given THOTU, he would not have been able to use it. TOAA arranged Thanos because he was the only one with the force of will to dominate THOTU.
🤨 So your saying Thanos could have done what he did all by himself without the HOTU?? It also seems by this statement you believe him to be without THOTU that Thanos > the LT, he has never shown power anywhere near that scale all by himself..

Where on earth did you get that from what he said? It's very simple... Simple said the he was chosen because of his WILL and because of his past experiences with ultimate power. The celesial order and others COULDN'T handle the power of the THOTI because they didn't have the will power to do so. Thanos was chosen and basically arranged to get it by the TOAA because he was the man for the job. I'm not sure about the Eternity part that Kandy referenced but if true that is even more proof and very telling proof at that. That point is, Thanos was chosen as the one who could do such a thing and one could say the only person in Marvel who could handle the job. He could handle it because of his sheer will power and guess what this is a will power thread.
