poor gods all their powers just seemed to vanish and obscure in this modern era.
i just want to make it clear that i believe Odin wins hands.. i just felt if he fought at far less then his potential there might be a chance of a loss.

i like how it has been shown on panel, is a clear part of his powerset and yet you say it's out of character for him. you DO know forum rules, right? this is odin fighting for the survival of asgard, willing AND ABLE BY FORUM RULES to use any powers (even his most exotic powers) he has demonstrated on panel. this isn't a comic. he has the power. has shown it. would use it if he had to. it's not even malicious. THAT might be out of character.
pr? bada? so this doesn't drag--is a time stop a viable option for odin here?

if it's a power he's shown himself capable of and the stakes are high enough, sure.
Originally posted by leonidasBecause you ignored the circumstances behind the feat. he couldn't get to the destroyer in time so he froze time. Odin never and I repeat never would freeze time against a worthy adversary in mutual combat.

I mean Thor was bound in chains and what not in asgard with Thanos showing up there and they all went to war. Odin never stopped to freeze time and has been defeated and actually chained up losing a war.
Odin has the power but even in the scan if both combatants are on the same battlefield he will not do so. If he can't get to the other character in time to prevent his son's death then he will use this tactic but on here they are always on the same battlefield.
It's like me arguing in every Galactus thread he uses the un since he fired it once.
Like I said below, a viable tactic. His done it more than once. He can do it again.
Unfortunately, I don't think stopping time will do much good against beings like Seth, Surtur, Ymir etc. those who can actually challenge him. At the same time, practically everybody else he fights are so far below him -that includes Thanos- stopping time and other exotic powers are unnecessary.

Saves me the time.
No one's pretending it's a commonly used tactic, but it's still a tactic nonetheless.
By the way, the scan I posted is from when Loki entered the Destroyer and was about to unleash the Disintegrator beam at Odin. With moments left, Odin stopped time and returned Loki to his body.
A viable tactic in battle.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusYou took the scan out of context. He couldn't get to the destroyer in time hence he stopped time. Odin's warrior like pride prevents him from doing so on the same battlefield.

Thanos was also shown to be his power and Odin pretty much said as much from his own mouth.

How did I take it out of context? You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Loki was in the Destroyer Armor. He attempted to challenge Odin and was about to unleash the Disintegrator beam. The only way to stop him was to get to Loki's mind/soul which was on the farthest edge of the limitless Universe. So Odin stopped time and put the mind whammy on Loki.
His peer? Lol.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusThe reason he did so was because he was beyond his grasp not on the battlefield. Never, I repeat never from my understanding has Odin ever used a tactic to beat an opponent right in front of him.

It's not in character and Odin wouldn't due to his warrior like mentality.
Read Odin's words and get back to me when you finally accept it.

Do you have trouble reading? One more time:
Loki was in the Destroyer Armor. The Destroyer Armor was right in front of Odin attempting to defeat him. The only way to stop the Destroyer Armor was to put a mind whammy on Loki.
This proves that if he has to, Odin will resort to time stopping.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusLoki was away at an unspeakable distance hence the tactic was used.

Reread the unspeakable distance part again.

Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusWhat issue is this from from the looks of the scan it looks like to get to Loki he had to freeze time due to him being outside this battlefield.

I will look this up it's been so long I can barely remember reading this.
1. Where do you see Odin crying like a little girl? His no Superboy Prime.
2. Where's that from? I don't recognize the art.

No, he had to freeze time because the Destroyer was moments away from unleashing his ultimate attack, and the only way to stop him was to get to Loki. He however didn't have the time to get to Loki who was trillions of thought years. So he stopped time, mind whammed Loki, and won.
Say please.
Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusThat's what I said. Loki was outside the battlefield so that's why he froze time. had he been on the battlefield he wouldn't have done so.

No, if you want to withhold this I can figure it out on my own but you pretty much backed up my assessment of this scan anyways.

Fair enough. This proves that if he has to, Odin will resort to time stopping if he has to. You can't argue that it's not a viable tactic for a fight anymore.
Lol. Thor Annual #3.
