The punishment Thor dished out was still below the power of Odin. Notice how easily Odin broke out of the containment field that held Thor.
Thus, it makes no sense for Thanos to be no-selling a blast from Odin, unless Odin was pitching a softball.

Agreed. I've owned the comic since it was released and have read it at least a few dozen times. Not once did I think Thanos was using a shield, which to me isn't a clear indication that there is one.
I didn't see a shield either when I initially read it. But according to some posters here, if you don't see a shield in the highly subjective art, you're branded as a blind biased fan boy.
Originally posted by vince_sliceAt no point did Odin physically touch Thanos in that scene- why on earth you are trying to imply that he did is ridiculous. The energy Odin released is clearly what hurled Thanos back.
Umm yes. Thanos went up to Odin and punched him with an energy amped fist. Odin blocked and did an energy amped back hand. You really think the two attacks you posted are the same?
This is shyte is getting tiresome. I don't know how/why ODG hung in for so long. g007-psyduck
It's funny how people are so adamant on proving that their subjective view of the art is true, and anybody that doesn't see it their way is biased. Very ironic.
It's like arguing that a cloud looks like a rabbit (i.e., the art depicts a shield). When someone else looks at the cloud and doesn't see the rabbit (i.e., doesn't see the shield), you claim they're biased and anti-rabbit (i.e., biased and closed-minded fan boys).
There's no doubt Thanos used a shield against PG Thor, Champion, and Galactus, and nobody would argue otherwise.
But the fact that there's still a lot of people unconvinced that there's a shield in the Odin fight is evidence of how ambiguous the art is and how many people can interpret it different ways. Bashing people for having their own interpretation of something subjective is immature.

I'm not going to try to convince you of the obvious, and frankly I don't need to. On two occasions, Thanos goes up against beings more powerful than himself, and on both occasions he is noted to be tapping into a power source.Lets be honest. You're so deeply invested in your interpretation of the Odin/Thanos battle that you'll never concede, no matter the evidence.
I don't need to mention it, since Thanos was augmented throughout his entire battle with Odin. He could not no-sell a blast from Odin on his best day, without additional protection and/or resources. Not when Thor's hammer gives him a bloody nose.
Some basic questions then...
Does Thanos have power reserves with himself that he taps into to lets say charge his fists.. or produce energy blasts.. or simply raise the level of his attacks.. similiar to Odin and many characters?
Second, I tooled your premise for the very obvious reason... YOUR stating Thanos was "amped" the entire conflict with Odin.. Thus that variable is static.. being that he was tapping into something for the battle. Thus... .when you said he can't stand up to a blast from Odin.. that means every blast from Odin. Yet.. what we actually saw transpire is Thanos standing up to his initial blast (some claim shields) yet later when Odin was further raising the stakes.. Thanos walked RIGHT THROUGH a focused blast from gungnir... So... the answer is clearly yes.. he could stand up to a blast from Odin being that he walked right through one.
Furthermore, you obviously have a problem distinguishing two very basic fights from one another. Question did one fight say very SPECIFICALLY what Thanos was tapping into (his ship)? The other.. makes no mentioning of him tapping into ANYTHING other than HIS OWN reserves. Calling it dark changes nothing. Thanos is dark.. he's affiliated with death.. he got an amp from death.. hence the dark. Now where your english language failure arise and clearly shows two distinct situations.. is Thanos ships reserves aren't nearly endless or limitless.. they very much have limits.. So when odin says he's tapping into a limitless powersource.. how could this possibly be his ship.. answer it can't.. Thus, there is no way it could be that. Odin references HIS power reserves and then references THANOS own power reserves. Nothing more nothing less. There was no amp.. nor was thanos drawing on any power source not his own. This was never stated, not once.

But it really, really looks like a shield, and arguments can be made that it really was a shield.

Odin has a gigantic pool of power he taps into, called the Odin-Force. Thanos has no such reserve unless he taps an external source (e.g. an energy source on his ship).
Second, I tooled your premise for the very obvious reason... YOUR stating Thanos was "amped" the entire conflict with Odin.. Thus that variable is static..
Unless he was drawing more power from this source as the battle continued -- pushing his resources to their limits as Odin raised his gain.
Yet.. what we actually saw transpire is Thanos standing up to his initial blast (some claim shields) yet later when Odin was further raising the stakes.. Thanos walked RIGHT THROUGH a focused blast from gungnir...
He slowly struggled his way through, actively employing his power to counteract Odin's blast. He didn't stand there and impassively take a hit.
Furthermore, you obviously have a problem distinguishing two very basic fights from one another. Question did one fight say very SPECIFICALLY what Thanos was tapping into (his ship)?
Nope, but Odin said that it was scientifically acquired. In other words, technology.

This is the ranting and raving of someone who has just had his bubble burst.

Nope, but Odin said that it was scientifically acquired. In other words, technology.Wrong again, Odin said artificial aquired might ie his bionic implants and Odin also said Thanos tapped into a dark source of power(accult/death magic)
