^Was it not revealed that Galactus had feed before his fight with Thanos?

Yea, but Thanos didn't go down that easily against Odin. In fact he didn't even admit defeat.
So Thanos is too stubborn to admit defeat. That proves what? Thanos was treated like someone below him. If Odin put a great deal of power into a single blast I don't think there would have been any difference between the fight Thanos had with Galactus.

I seriously doubt that Odin was holding back.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusWell in Annihilation Thanos feared what Galactus would do when he freed him this was a very Hungry Galactus that was at brink of death only had enough energy to stay alive and Thanos feared him.
Odin was smacking around Thanos.And you mean the Galactus that Thanos blasted across the surface of a moon (Albeit he didn't damage him and caught him by surprise, but he never damaged Odin either.) and exerted a great deal of power breaking through his force field?
Galactus didn't do that much better against Thanos than Odin did from what I recall.
While he was talking shit with Odin.

You mean the Thanos who had the nerve to make a deal with two space gods to beat down Galactus and then strap him on to a machine to use him as a giant space gun?
Thanos is smart to fear Galactus but he is cocky when he has to be and will do what he has to. Hence why you have him blasting Galactus across the surface of a planet. Anyways, once Galactus got free he absorbed all the stored Power Cosmic and was far from weak or on the brink of death. Hence the "Herald my rage!". So in retrospect Thanos was smart to fear freeing Galactus.
And Thanos once said he hoped to avoid a confrontation with the Hulk. That's not evidence of anything.

I don't hate the Hulk. The idea that he fears the Hulk is utterly ludicrous. I mean in that same issue he fights Champion with the Power Gem and attributes fighting him akin to fighting the Hulk, yet he still treats the Champion as a joke.
Thanos doesn't pick unnecessary fights but when he does fight he definitely steps his game up.
You must be utterly loony to believe that Thanos has anything to fear from the Hulk.

he represents power and anger incarnate. he may not fly, he may not shoot lightning, he may not have a surf board...but make no mistake my friend, marvel intends he be one of its most powerful and threatening characters.
thanos is wise to fear hulk. hulk isn't champion. hulk can be far more. hulk was the one that defeated onslaught. hulk stalemated marvel's current golden boy, sentry.

I dont think he absorbed the pc stored in the would be bomb, he looked completely screwed up when he released the blast and IIRC he tells the surfer they must go find food cause he had the munchies badly

I thought all those canisters that were floating around him were filled with stored Power Cosmic? It seemed like Galactus was absorbing them, as they were floating around him glowing blue along with Galactus' eyes.
When he is first freed he looks sickly along with Silver Surfer. However in when he absorbs all of those canisters in Annihilation #6 we never see his face but when we do see him in the end of that issue where Nova is recounting about what happened to all of the major players, Galactus looks fine and healthy.
Where does he say that? Nova says that according to rumors, Galactus' appetite is bigger than usual and he hopes that's not permanent. However as revealed in Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #1, Thanos' treachery has left him weakened.
I was never to hung up about his appearance after that issue though. 53 living beings (The last of Stardust's race.) where capable of rejuvenating his face despite the fact they barely satisfied his hunger.

Thanos blastedGalactus across the surface of a planet to buy time that had nothing to do with cockiness especially when he was preparing to survive this encounter with Galactus. He nearly died anyway.
With Odin he was at verge of taunting/mocking Odin who failed to damage him.

Your probably referring to the Champion incident here but Thanos has dealt with the Hulk before so there is proof that Thanos does not fearing Hulk. Just because you want to avoid fighting an opponent who can become impossible beat isn't abnormal. This is different from the Galactus example because Thanos knew he should not survive twice now.
As for the feeding Galactus noted that his Hunger has grown and even had two heralds to find him planets. he was being starved to near death and was able to kill almost everything with a blast.
This incident caused Galactus hungry to grow because of this starvation.

Then what was he doing with them? I always assumed he absorbed them as they were stored Power Cosmic were they not?
They could have been there merely as a nice effect (which I personally highly doubt) however it doesn't really change the fact that Galactus had been starving for a prolonged time kept at his absolute lowest to maintain both his life and at the same time ensuring that he didn't get enough power to escape. What you are more or less suggesting is that a man that have been dehydrated for wandering in the desert for a prolonged time, having only had a drop of water each day, will suddenly be back to full health if he receive a liter of water.
The fact that Galactus hunger had grown so much that he now needs two heralds to obtain the energy required, further serves to show (imo) that the energy he absorbed could hardly have had any lasting effect on him. (unless you think that he expended it all firing the omnidirectional blast)
And since Odin seems to have become the issue, allow me to redirect you to Jack Kirby's words on Galactus from, Ken Viola The Masters of Comic Book Art. USA.
My inspirations were the fact that I had to make sales. And I had to come up with characters that were no longer stereotypes. In other words I couldn't depend on gangsters anymore, I had to get something new. And ... for some reason, I went to the Bible. And I came up with Galactus. And there I was in front of this tremendous figure, who I knew very well, because I always felt him, and I certainly couldn't treat him the same way that I would any ordinary mortal ... and of course the Silver Surfer is the fallen angel. ...[T]hey were figures that have never been used before in comics. They were above mythic figures, and of course, they were the first gods
The fact that he went to the bible and came back with Galactus speaks imo quite clearly for the role/powerlevel he saw Galactus have.
I'm not in doubt that originally Galactus and Odin was more or less equal to each other, but things have changed at least that is how I see it.
