Let’s get one thing clear about earlier. I don’t “dislike” anybody, I say stuff like that all of the time. So if anybody is offended, my bad. But, that being said, I do believe many members on here who get “bashed” all of the time are being silly and doing it for kicks, there’s just no way after this many years they keep doing what they’re doing and don’t realize it.
It’s called fooling around.
Now, let’s get on with this.

What other means? It seems pretty clear that Thanos had a hard time with him, what were these means that pertain to the matchup? Can you please show them to me Mr. Quan?

@ That is evidene for this matchup. Thanos while fighting another character stopped someone flying at quadrillion times the speed of light. He can move far faster than either can even tag him based on this feat.
Where is this? When has Thanos moved Quadrillions of times past the speed of light?

@ Nothing you have even compares I mean most of the scans are these guys operating at light speed and above. Surfer went over a billion times that while Thanos was fighting someone else and he still moved out of the way and all he h as to do is put up shields. Game over, boss.
Where is this?

You ended the thread with using math?

@ Either show flash or zoom going faster than this or kindly concede. Thanos or the Surfer solos. Surfer is faster and Thanos can react to his insane traveling speed while fighting cap america.
Already been done, we’ve explained it in thorough detail. Surfer hasn’t done anything out the range for a GL or Superman and the Flash outright trumps them in speed.

They get stomped you mean?

Actually, I've given this a bit of thought and tried to consider it from your angle. With that, I've come to the realization that it really doesn't.
I believe it does. Intentional or unintentional the feat did really happen, he might have botched it, but it still happened and he still saved the city. This is kinda like the bean counting thing. Were there really 3,200 beans or 32,000? Did the writer mess up or did Superman?
Originally posted by D_Dude1210The writers intent was for him to save the people in that amount of time. The point at the end of the day is if he did the feat then he did the feat. The nuke hit and if he had went under lightspeed it wouldn’t have happened.
As the whole feat was done VIA NARRATION as well, it doesn't trump writer's own narration of the feat. This is comics and for suspension of disbelief to be observed, basic rules (such as physics and sometimes even simple math) need to be ignored at times
It would be like having Wolverine slicing off Xavier’s head in an issue. Even if the writer said Wolverine didn’t do it, it wouldn’t count because it’s shown on panel. If that’s the case word of God would dominate and because there are so many writers it would be one big mess.
The only way out of it would be a retcon of some sort. It is a high end feat, but it’s at least done, better than the “counting stars” feat presented on the other side.

(I know that at a certain point it SHOULD observe the rules, but again, it really comes down to the writer how much RL rules he wants to follow. If he thinks Spinach can give you superpowers, well good for him).
Well the problem is that comics still revolve around the real world to some extent. The only exceptions is when powers allow people to do otherwise, like flying. Things like the Sun being hot and normal humans dying when they lose their head still applies. People who say that logic doesn’t apply generally don’t like it because they don’t understand it very well. Why would they bother using “Ten ton strength” and “lightspeed” if it weren’t based around the world and something that we understand? Comics have grounding in the real world and on this forum we use logic. Logic is really nothing more than a tool for inferencing.
Whether that inference is in a comic world or the “real world” it still applies.
Magic A is Magic A.
If a character can survive a nuke, then it would be logical to say they can survive a grenade, even if said combatant hasn’t done that. This is the kind of thinking we use in a logical debate.
