That last part is the thing. Thanos said that galaxies were destroyed in their conflict (over what, several thousand years of time?) But galaxy-destroying blasts? Meh. Galactus has never shown that kind of power before, and if they were destroying galaxies one at a time for thousands of years....I think LT or Eternity might take offense.
What do u mean by Galactus not being able to destroy galaxies? He did so in his battle with the Tyrant, and on another instance he teleported an entire in time AND space with a thought...

Thanos stated it and Genis' ca confirmed it. It took one blast to get through one shield to three shields it would logically take at least three blasts and would expend 3 times as much energy.
Thanos used 3 shields against Omega. He activated ALL against Galactus.
Infinity Abyss is chronologically before Thanos limited series. There was even a reference to Infinity Abyss. Thanos doesn't degrade his shields.
All=at least 3 shields, which is what Galactus nearly breached in a blast that is significantly below any single attack used against FP Tyrant.

Galactus one shots Thanos again.
Galactus sucks all the heralds powers from them.
Galactus depowers Tyrant again.

He would have to escape more than one galaxy away (won't succeed under his own power). I really doubt it.
What is this wouldn't do it under his own power stuff? If he teleports away and then back that is his own power he's using. If he tanks the collateral damage via his shields.. again that is him doing so. I'm unclear what isn't his own power. Also as Galan points out weaker people than Thanos have caused Galactus harm and got him to flee. We've seen Thanos send Galactus flying hundreds of feat through his ship.... yet we wanna say Thanos can't hurt him or effect him. If Galactus is battling tyrant and Thanos is unleashing those kinds of blasts from behind... he'll feel them.. you best believe that.

Utterly false. "I survive, BUT ONLY WITH THE AID OF 3 PERSONAL FORCE FIELDS"
He erects 3 shields against Omega. Go read it again. He erects "all defensive shielding" against Galactus.
Starlin wrote both infinity abyss and the limited series. Abyss takes place before the limited series, not only because the limited series was published chronologically before the limited series, but because Galactus mentions that Thanos purloined DNA, firmly establishing that the limited series came after abyss.
Thanos used 3 shields in abyss. Afterwards, he used ALL shielding in the limited series. Unless you want to claim that Thanos purposely downgraded his tech in the interim...in which case I would need proof.

I think it's rather obvious that whatever shielding he had available against Galactus was far less than he made available when it was his sole purpose to go to war with Omega who was more powerful than Galactus as stated by the same writer.

Your logic is deeply flawed. Since when does Thanos scale the strength of his shields to the opponents he faces? So he brought more shields against DP Tyrant than he did against Odin? Where is your PROOF he does this on a regular basis?
IN ADDITION: the same writer mentioned that the threat of Hunger was greater than anything Galactus would conceive of doing. Yet Thanos brings less shields to deal with the Hunger situation than he would after he faced Omega? When Hunger threatened the entire universe, and Thanos was looking to turn the corner in his goals? So he brings less shield strength...remarkable.
Originally posted by Power Cosmic IICommon sense actually. If he knows he is going to actually have to implement a plan an directly survive an assault from someone more powerful than Galactus wouldn't he bring his best shielding available?

Now if he realized he had no other course of action than to attack Galactus wouldn't he be less than prepared than if it was his intention to take down Galactus?
He used all available shielding which was less than shielding he would bring when planning on facing against someone far more powerful than Galactus.

pretty much true. One he prepped for the other.. he didn't. It's simple really
^AKA you two speculate that Thanos doesn't amp himself but tailors his gear towards his opponents. Right. Your Common sense=no proof and unsubstantiated speculation
The common sense you two subscribe to is this: He prepped for Omega, brought 3 shields, and then after his clothes were torn apart, decided that having 3 shields was too much of a hassle for any future encounter with any other entity whatsoever, and unloads his upgrades...only to be left on his knees by Galactus because he didn't adequately "prepare" for a blast. Therefore Thanos panicked and activated "all defensive shielding" and nearly lost his life because he didn't "prepare."
Thanos..who prepares for any eventuality, who knew he had to do whatever it took to stop Galactus from releasing Hunger, didn't prepare. And threat of Hunger>>>>>>Omega. Are you guys serious?

He had shielding available and he still left with his life but if Galactus continued to attack Thanos wasn't prepared for an all out war like he was against Omega. You can disagree all you want but it's pretty obvious.
