Thanos vs Odin: War

The fight ended but not in the conventional way. They never fought to the resolution so it is more of an incomplete fight than a standoff. Again you cannot call the First Gulf War a standoff just because we didn't capture Baghdad just as you can't all this fight a standoff just because Odin never put Thanos down for the count. For a victory all that is required is that you humble your opponent and defeat them at every turn. Such was the case in the Persian Gulf War and such was the case in the Odin-Thanos fight.

You won't like the outcome...

Again so now you are saying it did end but backtracking and stating not in a conventional way. You can't even keep your story straight.

I read the comic so what's the point. Marvel backs me up not you making me right.

Odin beat Thanos, that story has never changed.

When did he beat him? So the fight ended with Odin's victory right? is that what you care claiming this post?

There's literally no way you can say Odin didn't win.

Damage suffered-Thanos takes the worst of it by far-Point to Odin
Damage dished out-Odin dealt a lot more than Thanos who barely did anything but take it-Point to Odin
State at the end of the fight-Odin because there wasn't a scratch on him while Thanos could barely stand.

There's literally no way you can say Odin didn't win.

How did it end?

I didn't say summarize the fight I asked you to tell me how the fight ended. You can't do it.

Did you read my post? I said Odin won. I said "there is literally no way you can say Odin didn't win". Are you illiterate or just stupid?

When did he win? Why would Odin ask Thanos to yield if he won?

In my view victory need not require death, unconsciousness or even submission. Its like Thing vs Champion: Thing never died, fell unconscious, or submitted but he still lost his fight with Champion and only "won" a spiritual victory.

Let me ask you something: what has to happen in your view to constitute a win?

Koing or actually beating the opponent. I guess if the Spectre/Shazam fight had stopped before the Spectre killed him you'd say the Spectre lost.

if you don't beat your opponent it's not a win. Saying Odin was winning is fine and the thought he had won but when he realized Thanos was still in it he gave him the chance to surrender and Thanos turned him down meaning it wasn't over.

If the fight had ended like that and the Spectre didn't come back then yes it would have been a victory for Shazam by definition. Horrible example though since Spectre was Shazam's superior and Shazam only did as well as he did thanks to prep and artifacts.

And you think Thanos could have won if it had gone on longer? He would have died.

It could have gone either way if it continued. My opinion is Odin was winning when the fight was stopped which ended in a standoff.

I don't know that you can say "Odin beat Thanos" and be semantically correct, as it were. The only thing we can say about their fight without upsetting the lesser gods of semantics is that Odin proved far superior to Thanos. And that's the important thing, right?

If he proved far superior than Thanos then he would have beaten Thanos, right? The thing is he proved far superior to the Surfer not Thanos.

Hulk is far superior to Spider-Man, but Spider-Man still has some good showings against Hulk.

That doesn't mean however that Spider-Man is more or less equal, he's far below Hulk. The same with Odin and Thanos.

Look... Odin would have won on points and was winning the fight. Some people, and it wouldn't be too unreasonable can claim that as a win. Afterall, he was winning for most of the fight. That being said, you can't ignore the dialogue from Odin and what the writer was trying to convey. IMO he was trying to convey that Odin was superior to Thanos but Thanos was relatively close in power. Lets not forget.. The key Odin line... "I haven't fought a foe like you in EONS" That right there speak volumes about what Odin and the writer were trying to convey. That along with other lines such as... you draw from a power source rivaling mine or something to that effect. Yes Odin was winning the fight and probably would have won, but lets not forget and discount the words used to describe Thanos.
