He prepped, to the best of his ability, to SURVIVE the encounter and present his case.I know you haven't read either arc as the entire groundless premise of your argument was Thanos prepping to defeat Omega vs. Thanos not prepping to defeat Galactus. You have no conception of my argument otherwise you wouldn't have made this statement which betrays how you didn't comprehend any of the points I made
.
Just to help you understand even more:
1. As soon as Galactus took the soul gem, Thanos knew a confrontation was likely. His ultimate goal was in preventing hunger's release
2. He prepped for the confrontation as the scan clearly illustrated (as you back-peddle with your earlier statement of how he used the shields he had available at the time, and now say he wasn't caught off-guard without his shields. Don't think I didn't catch that).
3. Your whole argument of Thanos not wanting to take Galactus down has no relevance. Any plan involving taking Galactus down would involve offensive strategems. Don't misinterpret Starlin's work as saying Thanos had no reason to be prepared for a confrontation with Galactus. That's your entire position and thus your comparison between wanting to destroy Omega and wanting to reason with Galactus are irrelevant. That's only relevant if Thanos is in a position of power to control the choice between destruction and discussion. [b]On the contrary
such leverage is with Galactus, and NOT Thanos (Galactus stayed his hand, Galactus decided to listen, Galactus went from threatening to kill Thanos to dropping him aside like a small toy).Your whole argument is Thanos prepared to tank a blast from Omega, but Thanos consciously and purposefully didn't prepare to tank a blast from Galactus, which I have contradicted through the presentation of 3 separate starlin-scripted scans. And your validation for this argument is that "Thanos didn't prepare to destroy Galactus." This has nothing to do with Thanos preparing to destroy Galactus in a straight up confrontation. He can't. He already admitted that. This is about Thanos preparing to ensure Galactus doesn't destroy him before Thanos can speak his piece. Why else would Thanos beg? If you read the comic you would understand the answer to that question. [/B]
Says the person misrepresenting scans the entire time. Ok, since you dare question or even challenge me I will presently destroy your entire baseless argument.
You are correct when you state he was only there to present his case because he hadn't the time nor the resources at hand to do so. Galactus wasn't the real problem to begin with anyways.
Here, he describes what resources he had available to him as meager.
I put up the definition of meager because it's clear you don't understand simple words and situations.
deficient in amount or quality or extent; "meager resources"
I guess iyo Thanos and Pip equals Thanos at his absolute best and not him using whatever resources are avaliable at him at the time to rectify a very dire situation.
1.Yes, that is all true but what you failed to put out is after the scans you falsely represented how quickly Thanos needed to act after Galactus' abduction of the soul gem took place. Did you think I wasn't aware or you were you hoping to continue to misrepresent the situation?
2.Again, he prepared with what available options he had present for him. He described them as meager. They weren't ideal and I have said this from the start and I laughed when you continued to post scans and take the entire situation out of context.
3.Thanos was prepared as he could be in the timeframe he had available to him which wasn't ideal but like Thanos does when he has to. Thanos comes through and he survived their encounter which he intended to.
You see Omega and Galactus are too different beasts if you will. Omega has more raw power while being very slow to act whereas Galactus doesn't suffer from this problem and also has vast intelligence which also seemed to be missing from Omega.
Thanos always makes the best of a bad situation but the circumstances against Omega were more ideal than against Galactus. He took the ball and went with it so to speak against Galactus but his goals like you yourself agree had nothing to do with eliminating Galactus.
Let's took a look at something shall we and just compare both beings of power here.
Let's compare Thanos' blast and the effect it had on Galactus and the blast on Omega and the effect it had on Omega.
One being gets rocked back a considerable distance while the other fails to even budge. Ok, so we know Omega is more powerful than Galactus to it's a slap in the fact to suggest his shielding is greater than the three shields he uses against Omega.
Against Galacus he states, "All defensive shielding." This to me suggests a powerful forceshield but in no way, shape, or form suggests something greater to or equal to the three shields he uses against Omega who the writer established as far more powerful than Galactus.
Your points aren't points they only show you cannot grasp simple storytelling and are trying to put Galactus on the pedestal you are used to seeing him on. Add in the fact Galactus calls it, "A mere forcefield." There is no way you can state it's equal to a being who far surpasses him in power.
Your argument fell apart a long time ago.
