😬Everything that happens in comics, is because the higher powers allow it.
Superman was only able to lift a mountain because, the Presence allowed it. Thor was only able to defeat Galactus because TOAA allowed it.
Does that somehow diminish the feats as it was them who did the hard work and accomplished the feats?
I mean, what exactly is your point here?
Thanos should not be given the credit he is due because the TOAA did not interfere?
Perhaps I did not express myself correctly. Obviously all that happens is marvel or dcu is allowed by the presence or toaa.
However, becoming omnipotent has different implications than lifting a mountain or going to the bathroom. All these thing shappen because TOAA alows it, but omnipotence would, at first glance, implie in subverting the cosmos to his will and doing whatever the hell he wants with it regardless of anything else. My point is that he can never truly do this, he can never become truly omnipotent or usurp the place of TOAA. He can only take the power to hold the 'appearance' of true omnipotence in as much as TOAA lets and makes him do it. He can only serve the real omnipotent and cosmic consonance. Therefore, if he dreamt of truly transcending and becoming absolute, that is impossible for him.
He is still due credit for being the right man for the job and getting it done. But to say that he became omnipotent because he wanted to and had the mad skills to pull it off hides the fact that he did it because cosmic consonance demanded it and that he can never truly achieve absolute power over the universe. His power will always be subjected to TOAA.
Same goes for IG if he ever truly menaced the omniverse he would never have taken the power. he was never absolute master of anything.
