That's just plain factually incorrect.

Main Entry: stand·still
Pronunciation: \-ˌstil\
Function: noun
Date: 1702
: a state characterized by absence of motion or of progress <brought traffic to a standstill>

Main Entry: 1stand·off
Pronunciation: \ˈstand-ˌȯf\
Function: noun
Date: circa 1835
1 a : tie, deadlock <the two teams played to a standoff> b : a counterbalancing effect

Why do you keep saying something that is plainly wrong and expecting people just ignore reality for you?

- a situation in which no progress can be made or no advancement is possible; "reached an impasse on the negotiations"

I mean wow kk. I can't believe you are this bad in this thread here.

Haha, what?

That's what shows up in the thesaurus section of thefreedictionary.com for any word even REMOTELY related the the concept. It isn't actually the definition of standstill.

You're just tossing shit at the wall at this point.

Noun 1. standstill - a situation in which no progress can be made or no advancement is possible; "reached an impasse on the negotiations"

I guess when it states the definition it really means just a series of words thrown together in a sentence to fool the reader right, kk?

KK the Great Junior Member

Yeah, in the thesaurus section. It's the main entry for whatever rough grouping of words standstill has been included in.

Congratulations, you've fond a crappy online thesaurus that uses the exact same definition for a half dozen different words. Hell, that definition appears in the entry for the word "situation."

You should try just being a native English speaker with a firm mastery of the language.

Everyone please get back to the topic.

Warnings will be given if I have any more problems in this thread.

Thanks.

This thread is getting too fun, guys. Let's keep that to a minimum, please. Thanks.

Team Odin wins. The other members of each team other than Thanos and Odin really don't matter here.

Unless new Thanos has some feats that I haven't seen yet (and I DO admit that my knowledge to upgraded Thanos is limited at best), I do not place him above or equal to Odin (he's close though). However, I say this with the intention of seeing some feats of Thanos that will put him at the level of being able to take on Odin.

So you disagree with the definition listed for standstill I take it. I don't. It seems we are at an impasse.

We've already seen Odin and his attacks were unsuccessful with regards to beating Thanos.

Why would his ship be dark? Ships are dark and evil? Odin reference him drawing from an almost unlimited power source that rivals even mine.. You think he was talking about a ship? Nah. I believe he was talking about Thanos Eternal powers, which seems more logical to me. Thanos is portrayed as being dark... Thus his power source could be perceived as dark. It's not the PC but yet he can call on the power cosmic. His ship isn't what allows to fire energy blasts, matter manipulate use TP and TK... Those are his Eternal powers. That is his power source. Why on earth would it be a reference to a ship? Furthermore, it could be that since Death upgraded Thanos and his powers.. that could be the "dark" power source the Thanos was referring to. All more logical and reasonable than his ship

ODG.. where is your proof that it's his ship that is referenced by that line. The explanation above sounds more reasonable to me.

Christ...still? Even for you, this is pig-headed.

Standstill is one of the words listed under that particular thesaurus entry. You didn't post its definition. Any dictionary that gives the exact same word-for-word definition for half a dozen different terms isn't worth the internet it's printed on. The words in a thesaurus entry are related and mean very roughly the same general idea, but they are unique words for a reason. They have subtle and not-so-subtle differences.

The particular difference between standstill and standoff is what we're waging a futile effort to explain to you.

So it would seem that once again we find ourselves in a situation where I'm pitting my natural fluency in English against your desperate combing of internet thesauruses to find entries that can be twisted to almost validate your ignorant misuse of words.

Oh, FFS...

The American Heritage Dictionary prints that definition as the definition for "Impasse", Quan (hence why the word impasse is used in the example, not standstill). All that your website has done is apply that exact same definition to every possible synonym for impasse.

Naturally standstill will be listed as a synonym, because if you've reached an impasse, then things have come to a standstill. This does not imply that reaching a standstill means that things are in a deadlock or impasse.

A = impasse
B = standstill

A implies B. Affirming the consequent, B, as the bio has done, does not make A true.

Formal logical fallacy, Quan.

OMG you guys are still going on about this? The fight got interrupted and was never finished. It's is reasonable to assume Odin would have won.

If all sneeks are snooks, and so on.

^ I'd like to know if I've been reported for engaging in endless back and forths with quanchi112 also. Now, I've got no personal fondness for KK the Great myself, as anybody whose read our personal posts against each other can readily discern. But I like debating with him. He may not be popular for his past statements about KMC, but anybody that reported him and not me for posts in this specific thread is hiding a double-standard and using the report function improperly to surreptitiously prevent counter-arguments from being presented.

In other words, "Get thicker skin."

To anybody who did report me in addition, well... cry

Hasn't he drawn on his ships for his shields? Maybe I misunderstood. But in referencing his own Eternal-borne powers, you do have to recognize that Odin himself talked about Thanos' "scientifically acquired might." So the references to "dark power" can't be completely referencing his Eternal-borne powers. But you presumably already recognize that by referencing his Death-granted powers.

Again invalid just as Spider-man beating Firelord is invalid.

I cited proof and it's one of the first hits online but then again the bio didn't matter and neither does this. No matter what proof I post you won't accept it and will attack the source itself which makes for stubborn debating.

I stand by my opinion and this definition used for the word standstill. You can disagree all you want but it is what it is.

No, this example is completely different as Spiderman is out of his league against Firelord while Thanos' upper limits were never previously tested.

Not my place to explain why but it has to do with his previous actions on here not just his recent ones. I also didn't report him.

I'm pretty sure they were tested. But that is moot anyway as it's all about what Odin has shown to be capable of and what Thanos was shown to be capable of. I mean Odin can beat Thor with a gesture. Thanos would seriously struggle with Thor in battle.
