Originally posted by NihilistPeople tend to exaggerate and try to pretend Odin wasn't trying to kill him, his son wasn't brought their in chains, and asgard wasn't being invaded in Odin's eyes. Yeah, Odin was just having fun at another typical asgardian bbq.
Odin sent him flying once, thats hardly "tossed around"

It ended in a standoff. If you consider a standoff a victory then I don't know what else to say.
When a war happens in the real world and one side runs roughshod over the other side until the war is interrupted by a UN ceasefire that doesn't make it a standoff, that makes it an interrupted war that had it gone on much longer would have ended in the utter defeat of the weaker party.
In the Gulf War the Coalition Forces withdrew rather than pressing the advantage and invading further but everyone would agree that it wasn't a standoff, the Iraqi Military got raped.
Originally posted by Omega VisionYou described a stalemate which I think it was anyways but marvel described it as a standoff which we literally see at the end of the fight.
Usually standoffs entail both parties being roughly equals in power, in this case Thanos was barely able to stand and Odin looked like he was ready to go another hundred rounds.When a war happens in the real world and one side runs roughshod over the other side until the war is interrupted by a UN ceasefire that doesn't make it a standoff, that makes it an interrupted war that had it gone on much longer would have ended in the utter defeat of the weaker party.

Originally posted by kgkgWhen did Odin win the fight?
He was sent flying ones and on his knees the second time , it was pretty clear Thanos could not do anything to Odin.
Originally posted by kgkgHe sent him flying once after he blasted him with the Gungnir then he only went to his knees after he forced his way through the Gungnir blasts and caused the energy to build up and cause a backlash.

Originally posted by quanchi112The fight never ended. But that does not mean it was standoff when Odin was putting Thanos down while Thanos could not do anything to Odin if fight continued Odin would win.
When did Odin win the fight?
It would be standoff if both characters were at the same ball park in offense/defense which was hardly the case in that fight.
Originally posted by kgkgSo basically you don't know what standoff means. You are like omega who thinks standoff means stalemate.

Here's a parallel:
As you can see Darkseid forces Superman to his knees with a handblast but Superman never concedes and he doesn't actually fall unconscious or anything like that. Its still unambiguous that Darkseid won that encounter. The same applies to the Odin fight.
Originally posted by SpireOdin already wanted to kill Thanos and already thought he had been defeated but his respect for him as a worthy opponent had him give him the chance to surrender. Thanos said nah.
Sure, standoff...They were both standing and Odin decided not to kill Thanos.
Originally posted by Omega VisionMarvel acknowledges standoff and we see it on panel. Your beef isn't with me it's with the company.
Both words stalemate and standoff imply that there isn't a clear superior which there was. There is literally no argument you can make for Thanos's superiority or even parity in that case with regards to Odin but you can point to the damage Thanos suffered when contrasted with the near total lack of wear and tear Odin experienced as proof of Odin's superiority.Here's a parallel:

Originally posted by kgkgYou disagree with marvel not me. I didn't write their bio. It seems a lot of people are so upset they want to disregard what happened in the comic and what the bio states.
Look a the definition in a dictionary and get back to me please a draw or stalemate is what standoff means.
Originally posted by Batman-PrimeNo hope of winning and actually lost are two totally different outcomes. Thanos wasn't beaten.
Team Odin easy. Even the most retarded Thanos clone knew that his daddy had lost, he had no hope of winning. Good thing the fight was interrupted, else Thanos would be dead... oh wait!
