Inconsistency as it's rarely happened.They can always show their super speed in combat like this: http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/KMCSuperman/week01-2000-Superman_V2-152-04.jpg
or like how Frieza dodged Goku's elbow in the scans I posted a while back.
Thanos has FTL reflexes because he reacted to Ganymede who blitzed Silver Surfer who's had fights at FTL before. What's inconsistency?
Ok, again, stop comparing surfer and superman to dbz characters when they don't fight anywhere close to their levels.
What I am saying is that the same blast that we look at that is going slow motion gets out of orbit instantly. Look at the kamehameha wave that goku hit vegeta with during the saiyan saga, they show it taking off in slow motion (slowing down time for us), then once the beam fight is over (goku blast vs vegeta blast) the kamahemaha make it out of orbit instantly (they had no reason to slow it down anymore).
Answer this question, when raditz dodged that beam, why was piccolo in shock (and please don't say anything about the speed of sound since goku was surpassing those speeds as a child).
Why are you using one scan as evidence? Dragonball art/drawing is different, they draw speed lines to show us that the characters are fighting at tremendous speeds. The anime take the speed line away and shows us exactly how they were fighting.
When has surfer ever fought at faster than light and I am referring to reflexes also and please don't say the bill and surfer fight and was surfer fighting at faster than light against thanos?
