No offense, but no way. How did Thanos do this then? If his "shields" were down and a simple backhand threw him off balance?
I'm not implying that Odin caused any significant harm to Thanos. I'm just saying that initially Thanos' shields appeared to be up, then Odin swiftly busted through them. After his shields were down, Thanos had to rely solely on his physical durability.

[B]You'd have a point except :
a) Thanos never knocked Odin reeling and smoldering across the surface of a planet.
Uh, I thought we already resolved this... Was Odin caught unaware with a cheap shot? No? Then you absolutely do not have a point.
before you attempt to argue, let me give you an example:

Now, would you like to argue that the guy who was knocked on his butt was a wimp? If he squared off against Heath, he'd have been a tough opponent, tanking repeated punches to the head, face, and body. Instead, we see him get 1-shotted by a quick and half hearted jab.
Why?
A cheap shot. Honestly, the more the pro-Odin guys use this sad example, the more biased and desperate it makes them seem. Please stop!

I understand what you are saying, but how could that backhand send Thanos back while Thanos was muscling through a full Gungnir blast to the face? The shield argument makes no sense period.
^ ... Like Galan007 and I said... your disbelief makes no sense.
If Thanos never had shields... your disbelief would still equally apply, "zomg, Odin staggered him with one-handed pimp-hand blast... how could Thanos wade through Gungnir blast!"
The simple answer is, Thanos was struggling very hard when wading through that Gungnir blast. Which he was. Your observation has nothing to do with whether shielding is up or not. And it's very simply answered anyway.

^ Thanos fought harder. And he was clearly struggling mightily. You must understand, your question makes no sense. Assuming he never had shields, your same disbelief equally applies.
^ ... because he wasn't bracing at all???? Just standing upright and still???????
Thanos was overconfident in his shields which held up to weaker blasts but got busted with stronger blasts... that's it. Odin hit him with onehanded attacks twice during the fight. The first time, Thanos tanked it fine and we see the splashing elliptical silhouette... the second time, even with Thanos lunging forward, he was staggered. That tends to support a shield being present initially and not being present later on.
Am I the only one not seeing any point to your queries? We don't see a splashing elliptical silhouette around Odin, what does Odin tanking shots have to do with this? There isn't even any evidence that Odin's ever used forcefields.
Are you troubled by Thanos' shields being busted so early? So what? That happened with a less powerful PG Thor too.
@ODG...
No, I am not chasing my own tail...
I am making the point that even if Thanos did use shielding in this fight, that they were meaningless as Thanos clearly tanked every attack that mattered, and all of said attacks landed with more force than Odins initial attack...
At the end of the day, using a common foe, Galactus owns Odin; even the consensus here supports this belief...
^ Kinda like how they're meaningless in the PG Thor fight? His shields were busted very early in that one. I don't get your objection.
And yeah, Galactus probably owns Odin. So what?
Wait... are the two camps here pro-Galactus and pro-Odin/Thanos? As in, the former wants there to be shields, which amplifies Galactus' feat of nearly killing Thanos when he had shields.... and the latter wants no shields, partially excusing Thanos' beatdown and Odin's relative struggle to end Thanos outright?
What a goofy place to find oneself in. Let's be clear, the people who see the shields don't give a phuck about either argument. It has really nothing to do with what's portrayed there.
@OneDumbG0
No you're not getting my point.
ON PANEL -
1) Odin didn't even flinch when BOTH Thanos and Surfer let loose on him
2) Odin "flinched" when Thanos ALONE blasted him
Also ON PANEL -
1) Thanos didn't flinch when Odin blasted him casually with one hand
2) Thanos "flinched" when Odin blasted him with both hands
The argument here is that Thanos was using a shield and Odin busted through it. But then you'd have to explain why Odin LIKEWISE resisted the dual Surfer/Thanos opening shot but was stunned by Thanos attacking him by his lonesome.

@zopzop
Odin also flinched when Silver Surfer shot him solo. So what? Odin also barely flinched when Thanos rushed him with an amped fist. So what? Stop obfuscating this with meaningless queries. Odin flinching against their continued assaults has nothing to do with whether Thanos used shields. He did. It's there in the art.

Thank you for proving my point! He tanked their initial salvo without even moving. Then after that, even their individual blasts started to phase him.
EXACTLY like what happened with Thanos!
Yet Odin wasn't using "shields" but Thanos was? 🙄
