1. Show me one lifting feat... fighting feat... or any feat with hulk that gives us an exact measurement of how anger and strong he is. This doesn't happen and you know it. Yet for some reason you require that for this particular feat. We know hulk wasn't exactly happy and was pissed and trying to put Thanos down. Period. That is a good enough for most people to understand that Hulk was strong and yet a feeb compared to Thanos. So, as you can see it doesn't matter how pissed hulk was and that is never stated. What we know is hulk is really strong and hulk was angry and trying to put Thanos down. Period. How about the fact that a well known Hulk writer was SPECIFICALLY asked a question about how Hulks strength compares to Thanos. He said... Thanos is in another weight class than Hulk and that is just the way it is. You have one of Hulk own writers for years saying Hulk is no match for thanos and even in reference to strength. Yet that isn't good enough for you. Hmmm seems to fit rather nicely with how easily he dismisses him doesn't it?
First Hulk's strength can range from about 90 tons to God knows what? I'm not claiming that Hulk's strength wasn't a lot (a lot to you may not be a lot to me). I'm claiming that since we don't know how much it was then we can't use the feat to show superiority over Thor. I don't believe you with the writer though. Even if you are right then that writer can't speak for all writers. Especially when Hulk can potentially be stronger than any humanoid being. So that writer was full of bs.
2. The problem with your conclusion on what a mere slap means is painful evident. You see your claim is that a mere slap doesn't show superiority to someone else, only that Thanos wants them and us to believe he is. The problem with this H1a9 and again why logic fails you, is that nothing is done about it. You act like he slaps people and then all of a sudden he gets owned. False. He slaps people effortlessly and it puts them down or if it doesn't he still proceeds to own them. You would have a point if he slapped people and then got owned. However, that isn't even close to what happens. So yes, that is exactly why a mere slap means so much. You see writers and artists as I said try and convey this point over and over again but it appears your too blind and bias to accept it. When someone slaps another with a mere slap and can put them down, while laughing at them for even stepping to him, and they can do nothing about it.. That is a clear cut way to show someone is that much stronger than other right? I can't believe your arguing this point. It would be like someone using one finger to flick another in the head and it knocks them down and they get laughed at. Yet you wanna believe this doesn't show a clear superiority in strength and power lol. Okay...yet when doing this to clear powerhouses like Drax, Hulk, Herc, Thing etc.. means to you.. nothing haha.
Thanos only slap a few people in his comic career. I see Thanos slapping beings around as a sign of that I have bigger and better things to do (like take over the universe) than mess around and play cops and robbers like an ordinary villian. I don't see it as a sign that he can beat them in battle. CA was the only one that didn't retaliate from the slap. Others beings either engaged Thanos or refuse to. Never did Thanos ko them with the slap as to why they didn't engage him afterwards.
And with class 100 strength I could finger flick Hulk, Thor, and whoever down too. Slapping Galactus away wouldn't prove anything to me. Slapping is nonsense stuff that proves nothing.
3. Thanos punching Mar-veil from the Moon to earth just exactly how strong and how much force Thanos can hit with. One shot.. and Mar-veil goes flying like a rocket. Yet Mar-veil was exchanging shots with Thanos yet Thanos didn't go anywhere. Hmmmm. Yet again the writer and author trying to illustrate how much power Thanos as again he easily gets ride of a herald level character.
Well it wasn't canon. But even though it takes more strength to knock someone in orbit through wind resistance than to knock them to the Earth from Saturn in space (no wind resistance and minimal gravity).
4. Are you actually arguing that strength isn't included in striking power? Are you actually arguing this point? You know that strength is an aspect of striking power. Thus Thanos almost killing SS with 6 punches IS a sign of his strength
Striking power is indeed showing strength. I'm saying that Thor could possibly do the same thing in 6 hits if he unleashed his full might. Thor killing his uncle with one blow is far more impressive to me. SS's durability doesn't butter my muffin. Plus it could be a low showing for SS all we know. That is why this feat can't be used on its own.
5. In general you just aren't seeming to grasp the fact that Thanos has always been portrayed as being above an HH and by a good amount. That is why he often only needs mere slaps to dismiss them. That is why he laughs at them and mocks their strength. Do you know why he's never lost to any HH before H1a8... Hmmmm because he is that much more powerful than them. That is just how it is buddy and the sooner you start realizing this the better. When you notice that he always deals with these characters and beats them, either easily or with minimum effort it becomes clear what they are trying to convey. It only requires basic logic and reason. They are trying to convey that Thanos is that much stronger/powerful than any of them. Hence the reason he doesn't take any losses to them. Seems very logical right? So.. what then is the issue? You tell me then if its not strength that makes Thanos superior and doesn't lose to HH then why is it? You must agree he doesn't lose for whatever reason.. Yet wanna believe Supes is somehow differnt? That Thor is stronger? lol. Thor has never beaten Thanos EVER. Why is that then h1a8
Thanos is powerful indeed. He has a vast array of powers, mixed with good strength, durability, intelligence, and skill. He needs everything he has to exceed the heralds. Let him have his strength and durability alone and he will get his arse handed to him partner. Normal un amped Heralds are not that strong when they compare to Thor, Superman, CM, Gladiator, etc. And stop with this slapping logic routine. I can't agree there.
