The Thanos Imperative!

Thanos was compeltely irrelevant after his death. Does reading comprehension escape you now in addition to grasping canon events on panel? Of course he was a factor WHILE ALIVE but in your rush to look even more inept you decided to respond under the false assumption I said he was irrelevant all the way through. Which of course is false, and further underscores your weakness in your position. Wonderful. Continue living in your false reality LOL.

Thanos was killed twice. Not because he turned his back. The whole issue was building up Drax to be an unstoppable agent. You seriously want me to accept that the story called for Thanos to return from death because he is un-killable in TI due to death rejecting him, while you wish to ignore that all of Annihilation called for Drax to kill Thanos? Your weak, impoverished explanation is that Drax "changed." LOL. So Thanos stayed the same in TI? I see...tell me when was it establsihed prior to Drax killing him a 2nd time that Thanos was un-killable because Death rejected him? Go ahead....I'll wait before we continue this 1-sided discourse.

So punching someone's heart out while not defending themselves is the same thing as actively fighting someone ? Wow.

No, Thanos changed and was brought back as an unkillable avatar and Drax's actions were irrelevant to Thanos as he quickly killed him. In annihilation Thanos didn't suspect this outcome due to his recent transformation which is perfectly understandable considering he wasn't able to do this during their entire history prior to his recent change.

I provided a scan with a character hinting as his unbeatable nature which was corroborated when he died. Thanos was unkillable since he returned. Drax can kill him all he wants Thanos will come back every time as per the story. 🙂

Great, I couldn't care less about TI, since the issue at hand is the influence Thanos had in Annihilation, and it that story, he died, and stayed dead. When he died, NOTHING he set into motion before he died freed Galactus, nothing set forth the undoing of Annihilus....he couldn't even convince Aegis and Tenebrous to stick around.

Schmidt>>>>You, that quite frankly is all I need to repeat. It doesn't matter the context, as obsess and pretend this is some forum battle. The whole point is that Drax was changed and he killed Thanos. Thanos was not, in any situation, going to successfully oppose Drax. Again, Silver bullet, again, the plot demanded Thanos die. This isn't some vs. battle, get that through your comprehension. Just as the story demands in TI that Thanos cannot die, the story demanded in Annihilation that Thanos would inevitably die once Drax started getting the killer instinct. You are incapable of any sort of comprehension in this regard, which is why I continue to laugh at your expense.

Thanos changed his mind, and he died. If Thanos doesn't change his mind, he either dies by Moondragon deciding to mind rape him (or did you think that Thanos is the only one who can change his mind? Foolish. Moondragon can do that for him, literally.) or he dies by the inevitable hand of Drax. This IS NOT a versus battle. It doesn't matter that Thanos' back was turned. What matters is that the editor of the whole series came out and said Drax would kill Thanos...they spent the entire issue setting it up. That's plot and story dictating, yes, dictating, what the fates of characters will be. Death rejected Thanos so he could not die in TI.

Happily, I know you also accept that Drax received a power up in Annihilation so that Thanos could not live. It's the same exact concept as Death rejecting Thanos so he could not die in TI. Plot element. Believe in one, believe in the other.

I am the Adam Warlock to your mad Titan.

See you deny context which is what delusional people do. Thanos had his back turned that's the only reason he was able to best him. Only one. The writer ultimately chooses when he dies and how so we cannot ignore how. The only reason he died was because he left his back wide open to him. It's obvious and this is a fact so you cannot dispute it.

No, moondragon was never ever going to mindrape him so it was up to him the entire time whatever he wanted to do. It does matter his back was turned it was the only way for Drax to achieve his life goal. The writer showed us this.

I believe in both plot elements. The thing is Thanos can't be killed and Drax his silver bullet can't even stop him so his plot element just made Drax' irrelevant. Thanos is so unstoppable it's kinda funny.

Warlock died in ti. Right at the beginning. He went mad and was executed by the being Thanos easily duped and destroyed. I am the Thanos to your adam warlock.

📖 🤣 😆 😂 Guys please keep this up. This shyte is comedy gold!

He was a force until he.....well....had cardiac arrest.

Thanos died because the writer wished him to die. Not because "well, the Thani-boys will complain, so let's have Thanos turn his back so his death is cheapened.

Yes you believe in both plot elements, yet the TI plot element supersedes the Silver bullet plot element from Annihilation. Thanos will always come back from the dead in TI, but Drax will always kill Thanos in Annihilation. They fought hand to hand in TI and Drax killed him. the fact that it was temporary kill is irrelevant, he killed him and in the CONTEXT of annihilation, Drax will ALWAYS succeed, and Thanos will always be killed, and not return from the dead

The only reason Thanos died is because Drax was the plot device to kill him in this story, not because Thanos decided to keep showing Drax his backside as he died. It doesn't matter if Thanos' back was turned or if he was facing Drax head on. The entire story is built on Drax putting Thanos down to fulfill his destiny

Yes it was up to moondragon in that instant whether to kill him or not

and he even gave her the chance. Do not act as if Thanos can change his mind about siding with Annihilus or not, and then turn around and pretend I don't notice you imposing a restriction that moondragon cannot change her mind. Thanos will always side against annihilus. he was never going to go forward with annihilus' plan once he found out.

😂 In that one phrase i deconstruct your entire fantasy scenario. And tear you from your place of delusion and bring you back to reality. Don't think the double standard of Thanos deciding whether to act or not and then stating that moondragon will always make the same choice goes unnoticed. I have grabbed your double standard and raised it into the air for all to see and smell its foul stench before I cast it back into your face.

No, Adam Magus is a different creature entirely from Adam Warlock. It was Adam Warlock who took Thanos' dead carcass at the end of annihilation, placed Thanos in the cocoon, from which Thanos would eventually be reborn.

Adam Warlock always imparts wisdom to a hapless, delusional, even dejected mad titan. Adam Warlock cocooned Thanos and by Warlock's hand it was made possible for Thanos to be ripped from his ultimate fantasy and brought back into reality with harsh fashion. This left Thanos stuttering and muttering like a crazed baboon, begging for release. But no, Warlock's actions ensured that Thanos would never be able to enjoy his dry lover again.

I am Him, Adam Warlock, and you are the hapless, angry and mad titan.

I'd actually like Thanos if his fans weren't so mind boggling thick. Starlin tried too hard, but his stories were fun enough. The Giffen series was great. He wrote Thanos really well. Better than Starlin in my opinion.

P.S. You're just wasting your time Power Cosmic II.

Cosmic,

He won't give up. You're pissing into a high wind here.

love the cosmic wolverine on the right of your sig...😛

well remember the thanos series was split up between starlin and giffen (because starlin left marvel). But IMO that's what made it so entertaining. That was a great series.

I like Thanos. I like Thor. I am starting to like Mikaboshi (despite all the retconning out of established marvel hierarchy that's going on). I like Big G best, but like bran said...one character's fans shouldn't dissuade you from the character. I mean..I even started this very thread. I was excited for a story with Thanos in it.

now let's actually get back to the thread

newsarama has preview pages of Devastation

http://www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album.php?aid=40066

looks like the Cosmic Avengers are still running around, minus Nova of course.

Thanos will always die in annihilation because his back was turned. In ti Thanos bested him and a cc took him out temporarily. Then Drax used a plot device on him when he didn't expect it I mean come on they were on the same side yet Drax was acting foolishly. Thanos easily killed him when he became an annoyance.

Also when we debate these characters we don't ignore their entire history or what happened before or after. He does come back and he was killed because his back was turned. Even despite being engineered for this purpose Thanos still had to have his back turned to achieve this goal. That's pretty impressive for Thanos for the writer to make this point abundantly clear and still have Thanos with his bakc turned.

Great showing for Thanos.

Drax only fulfilled his destiny because his back was turned. Look at the scans again. See how he achieved his destiny because it wasn't in a straight up fight. Context is everything when you debate my dear old boy.

Moondragon didn't do so and would never do so. This isn't up for debate.

The point wasn't whether or not he will change his mind the point was whatever side he allied with was in the driver's seat. That's how pivotal the man is. He is the most successful villain in marvel history and his importance in these events makes Galactus into just a powerful boob by comparison.

You misunderstood my entire position which was evident a week ago. Now once again how was I incorrect ?

Warlock is currently dead and was unable to survive the struggle within himself and like those many years ago when Thanos first saved him from his own future self I saved you this time from your master who killed you like an insignificant bug whereas the entire story was about me, Thanos.

Thanos has saved warlock before, aided him, killed him, and then defeated his master. Thanos owns Warlock as I own you.

Ah, the last gasps of denile before the death

Thanos showing his back had nothing to do with it. You don't have a grasp of story telling, that is quite evident. Plot threads aren't built up to be superceded by "his back was turned." The writer determines death, but the PLOT determines whether death even occurs. This, of course, escapes you and I was supremely confident it would because of your glaring inability to comprehend narrative technique. Drax spent the entire issue speeding towards Thanos. Schmidt>>>>>>>>>You and all your putrid mis-interpretaitons of Marvel's true intent for Thanos in Annhilation. You do the character a great diservice...it is almost sickening! Never mind the fact that Thanos was almost begging Drax to give him a spare moment so he could free Big G. Nevermind the fact that Thanos didn't spare a single second from turning the dial to face Drax...nevermind the fact that Thanos was so shook of the Annihilus drones overwhleming him before he could free Galactus that he thought his shields would be enough. Or that Thanos had ample time to turn and attempt to blast Drax....NO! All he did was die, and the silver bullet reached it's mark. I shall ignore your fallacious bias to the same extreme ends that you ignore Schmidt, and therein lies your dispair in this manner.

Yeah, the same shields that barely withstood an exerted energy blast from Galactus gets literally ripped through by Drax. LOL. Thanos' backside has nothing to do with the inability of his shields to protect himself. You have got to be kidding and your logic now and forever more is nothing more than a cesspool of fecal manner in which I have just squatted over and taken a shit.

Thanos was duped and died because he was unaware and unpreparred. Accept this..become one with the Church of Universal Truth!

Warlock has revelaed to Thanos Thanos' own personal inadequacies and pyschological shortcomings. He revealed to him the delusions of his mind and his sub-conscious self loathing. Adam Magus is a different creature entirely and whenever they cross paths he has proved Thanos' superior time and again. Adam Magus cloned Thanos and ordered him around like a Christmas gnome. I can see the depreciating posts you continue to make...you have rejected clarity and will continue to wallow in fecal matter. Your logic is brown and encrusted with self-doubt.

Thanos had no effect in Annihilation once he changed his mind. The only effect he had was turning the dial 3/4 of the way. What influence is that...that you measure in inches? Is that how far you expect your logic to intrude into the realm of common sense.

Moondragon could easily have killed him and your whole posts of rampant denial are rendered moot. Don't pretend that's any less circumstantial than Thanos staying by Annihilus' side. And your argument of ignoring story and saying "thanos influenced this" is getting as tiresome as a circus monkey. Thanos DIDN'T. He died. Whatever you argue now going forward is pointless because...thanos DIDN'T. Preach to me whatever you like, my mind adheres to the words of superior sources (Scmidt) and I have to admit I enjoy your posts. Even though it's bad comedy.

Uhm, I deny nothing and my interpretations of what occurred on panel are right on. Yes, he was a silver bullet speeding towards Thanos but this was all very convenient as a means to end Thanos here. Thanos was busy trying to save both universes and Drax was forced to do what he was programmed in his core to do. Thanos would have never been hit by the silver bullet had he actually engaged Thanos. Not once do we ever see Drax defeat Thanos when they are both facing each other in fair combat nor is this any different.

The only reason Drax could easily rip through the shields is because he was born for this whereas any one else like Galactus would have to break through by force.

You can continue to pat yourself on the back while running away from the manner in which he died or the circumstances it just proves once again I debate completely and 100 percent with the source material.

Thanos was unprepared for Drax and his new powers in annihilation due to the gravity of the situation he was in and the fact his back was turned. This is the only reason this occurred and I accept this.

No, I will dominate the universal just like I did when I was brought back to life. Many more will fall before Thanos wrath.

Warlock has more shortcomings than Thanos and has struggled within himself before to do the right thing more than most characters. So Thanos has him beat in even that regard.

The Magus has been defeated every time by Thanos. Thanos is always one step ahead and unlike the Magus Thanos doesn't need any clones to aid him. That's how important Thanos is even in Magus' mind. Thanos defeated magus' boss who felt he wasn't even needed here.

Magus can clone an order a clone around but that isn't the same thing as the real Thanos the man who wrecks universes when he wants to.

Thanos changing his mind left the door open for Galactus to be freed because if he hadn't Drax would have never got his back. Thanos changed the face of the entire event and when he jumped ship annihilus lost his advantage.

Thanos knew she wasn't going to so a moot point. If you want to continue to deny Thanos' role in annihilation then kindly step out of this thread you are stinking it up with your denials.

The Thanos Imperative, not anyone else's but Thanos'.

Thanos imperative sucks and is awesome at the same time.

That last issue was the worst of the series. Felt like they left out some parts of the story and rushed through the ending. sneer

First of all, disciple, this is MY thread, so you will not tell me what to do in it. Rather, I shall instruct you to cleanse your "logic" as it serves as nothing but a font of putrescence on the tranquility of clear thought.

Thanos will die whatever happens. Whether his back is turned, his shields inadequate...whether he is caught UNPREPARED ("I am Thanos, I prepare for any eventuality"😉 by Drax or whether he is caught unprepared with his pants down, Thanos will always be unprepared for Drax, and will always meet his end. Complain to Giffen in the manner in which Thanos died: Marvel determined that he should die and determined that Drax would do it. THey did not determine that Drax would have the ability to do it because Thanos had his back turned. Foolish to think otherwise: if it was as simple as having Thanos' back turned to explain his death, why have Drax at all in the story? Why waste panel upon panel of Drax all but predicting he would end thanos by the end of the comic. You have nothing to explain that and all you are going off on is an assumption that Thanos would win if they decided to have him face Drax. Irrelevant. Drax will always kill him no matter the circumstance. You cannot change the minds of Marvel editorial and the circus monkey has grown limp and prone from recursive logic that leads no where but up its brown, heinous ass hole. He was the living plot device the entire story and a plot device cannot be undone, because it is the means by which the plot is carried along. Not because "Thanos turned his back"

Thanos heard him coming and still did nothing. Either you give him more credit than he deserves, or he over-estimated his shields, or he was unprepared, or unaware, or incompetent, or overconfident, or just inadequate....

.....the fact that no adjective is in a positive light describes exactly what the story called for: his inevitable demise. Switching sides did nothing except further his own personal gain by being b Death's side; in terms of the A-Wave and its after-effects his decisions had zero ramifications what so ever.

Yes, it is imperative that you retrieve yourself from the ground. Let me dust you off, you've been unconscious for a little bit there.
