I provided an example where Thanos was much more powerful than his opponent, but used prep anyways just for amusement.
I'd like some proof that regular Thanos was more powerful than a Grandmaster that was using an Infinity gem.

Actually, he stated prep is what people do to become threats if they aren't already in a straight up encounter. Which isn't the same at all as saying prepping for a opponent means you're automatically weaker than said opponent. I can see why you'd think they are the same, but they're not.
Thanos used prep to get said gems in the first place, though. Without the gems, and prep, he wouldn't be the threat he was portrayed to be in that entire arc.
Originally posted by vince_sliceWhat he stated is actually true in most cases your just nitpicking for some odd reason. In most cases those who use prep use it because they are outmatched theirs always an exception to the rule

You're claiming that Thanos wasn't weaker than Odin?Proof please.

I don't see how it's not the same.
If you're not a threat to someone it means by default you're weaker. Stating someone needs prep because they aren't a threat clearly means they need prep because they're weaker. Again this is poor logic, and clearly not always true.

My original point is that it's not always true and I gave a clear example illustrating my point.

That's not always true, especially not for Thanos.

Originally posted by vince_slicepeople usuallly resort to prep because they are outmatched. sometimes they may do it for other reasons yes, but everyone understood what his general point was.
I don't recall Thanos using prep in his fight with Odin.
On the other hand, he never claiemd that people who are outmatched will necessarily resort to prep, which is what your post implies he claimed.

Thanos wasn't more powerful than his opponent because HE REFUSED TO USE THE GEMS. If I refuse to use a gun on Brock Lesner then clearly he is more powerful than I.
It's all about choice and not what's in your possession.
All of this is moot anyway because all Silent is saying is
With prep he's stronger
And with the gems he's stronger
But Thanos abandoned the gems and use prep, thus making him stronger. Without both Thanos is weaker.

Not really.I simply pointed out that if someone preps for a fight, it doesn't always mean the person is weaker.
Silent disagreed with that, and thats where the whole argument stems.
No, the argument stems from you being upset that Odin proved to be more powerful than Thanos in their fight.

What are you talking about? I never claimed Thanos was more powerful than Odin, not even close.
I was saying just because someone preps for a fight it doesn't always mean they're weaker. Usually they do it because they're outmatched, but it's not always the case.
