Because what you describe is completly different in the crucial point from that what Quasar did.

Not really. He ate a blast in the face, his head blew off.

He's eaten a blast in the face from a pissed off Silver Surfer, and was completely fine, still sitting in his chair and calmly asked if Norrin was done yet.

Your "if Quasar could do this to Thanos with the IG he sure as hell could do it to Thanos without the IG" is pretty obviously incorrect, as again, Quasar was amped by Infinity in that instance. If Thanos can take unshielded blasts from Tyrant and Odin, you thinking that Quasar, who is SS's inferior, being able to blow his head off is absurd.

To answer #2, he allowed Quasar to do it.

Yes, he allowed him to do it as he allowed the heroes to attack him and was basically farting around not taking them seriously at all.

I know the full scene.

1) Thanos had the IG
2) So he exploded his head himself? Or did he allowed Quasar to do so because he knew he would survive it?

I never said he would lose btw. 😐 Though i won't say that Quasar loses. 🙂

So is Masterson Thor greater than regular Thor against Thanos based on his showing?

What do you guys think "Thanos was toying with him" is supposed to mean, exactly? He blew up his own head for funsies?

How would Thanos toying or not toying with him alter Quasar's ability to produce an explosion inside his head with power sufficient to destroy his skull? That's an ability he either does or does not possess, and Thanos has no particular defense against it regardless of his mindset.

I would think it's self explanatory and actually question your supposed mastery of the english language if you are confused by the statement.

The issue here isn't how powerful or invulnerable Thanos can become with the IG. We're making the safe assumption that the base durability of his physical body is a relatively stable factor. He can increase it with the IG, of course, but there's no evidence of him making his body physically weaker or less durable.

So by this logic is Masterson Thor greater than power gem wielding Thor?

Quasar wasn't amped in the fight against Thanos. Quasar returned Infinity's power a few minutes after defeating Maelstrom when Q touched Infinity's lip.

You're making the 'safe' assumption. And its not safe at all. Again, Thanos had the IG when facing the heroes. He stated on panel that he would toy with them to please Mistress Death. He was injured/hurt/slapped around.

Thanos also had the IG when facing the cosmic forces. And he easily dispatched all of them.

Clearly, he can lower and increase his durability. He can do whatever he wishes. He was God. Your 'safe assumption' is incorrect.

I would. But that's not what happened, now is it? That attack didn't magically go inside of Thanos' head and then explode. It was on either side of his head. Quasar's "right between your ears!" is a figure of speech, made obvious by the fact that....Thanos' ears are in fact covered up by his suit. 😬

It's also humorous to see kk actually unwittingly clue us in on the fact he hasn't read the story because Thanos actually depowered himself throughout the arc, cut off the sensory input to increase the risk of him losing against the heroes all in an effort to impress death and to leave his body an empty husk while assuming Eternity's place after he had defeated him.

Thanos also has complete mastery over aspects meaning he can do whatever he pretty much please while kk think his limits were to his own durability. In that issue Thanos toyed with Quasar as he did many of the heroes he ran into before his huge battle on his death monument as well as this fight.

I prefer the statement on panel, sorry but I disagree with your interpretation "blast in the face".

So you choose to ignore the times on panel when Thanos was screwing with people on panel with the ig?

Okay, would you prefer 'blast to each side of the head' instead?

No, not accurate enough. 😬

😬 Well it clearly wasn't, literally, 'between the ears'....

It's amusing that you demand that people accept your interpretation instead of the comic. 😛

The comic (and your sig) show Thanos' suit covering his ears, so it really couldn't mean 'literally'. Not to mention that that's a pretty common expression, unless you're telling me you've never heard it before.

It was literally between the ears.

Inbetweener and the Celestials and Infinity were there. Take out the LT, put any and all of the cosmics up against IG Thanos and they would still lose. IG makes you the Supreme Being of the Universe. God, beneath the LT. He wasn't losing to anyone but himself.
I'm asking if adding all those people which defintly adds much power would have then been able to fight the IG.

You mean Quasar, with all his powers, wouldn't be able to bypass an suit? Really? Is this what you want to tell me? So I guess his Suit tanked the blast from the Surfer, it's energy too. If energy can't go through I wonder if there are built in speakers so he might hear the blast.

Dude, seriously? It was a blast. Not somekind of exotic light wave manipulation bypassing matter whatever. The blast would hit the suit first. It wasn't literally between the ears.

I FEEL like a ****ing fanboy I'm having to defend Thanos so much, and from the stupidest damn arguments, too.

No he didn't. That's a typical Thanos fanboy fallacy.

He lowered his omniscient senses so he wouldn't know what they were going to do before they would do it, and he opted to fight them instead of just blinking them out of existence. There wasn't the slightest implication that he actually made himself weaker or less durable.

Thanos also had the IG when facing the cosmic forces. And he easily dispatched all of them.

That's nice, but I'm not sure how you could possibly think you're making a compelling or even relevant argument.

What does one thing have to do with the other?

I would. But that's not what happened, now is it? That attack didn't magically go inside of Thanos' head and then explode.

It did, though. Quasar, like most characters of his type, does have the ability to form constructs and such anywhere in 3D space. Putting a wall between him and the space where he wishes to create the construct wouldn't do anything to stop him from forming the construct in that space. If that space happens to be within an opponent's skull, a helmet is no real barrier.

And I already answered you. Take out the LT in that list of yours, and the answer is no. They'd still fall to the IG.

There are many Thanos haters out there. Batman prime's sig makes it very clear he is one of them.
