Well if that is the case then my argument changes to someone falling to Thor physically in that arc proves nothing since the characters were fighting stupidly. Even if they weren't, I still don't see how Thor landed the same type of blows on Thanos as he did on them. Not a fair comparison. Now if Thor slammed on Thanos with the hammer and Thanos took it well then I wouldn't argue against Thanos at all. You have my word. But that wasn't the case.
Pretty much.
lolwut
Your argument changes to them fighting stupidity and it doesn't count because it was a good feat for Thanos? Do you have sandwich meat in your brain or something? Maybe a little bit of genoa, some turkey, bacon? Is it the turkey that told you this was a good idea and you should post it?
No, you're right, Thor was throwin jabs at Thanos and wasn't hitting him hard at all. Writer's intent tells me this is the case too.

It is possible to be angry and still hold back full power from the gems. It's not like holding back just physical strength. You can mentally allocated how much power you want to use. It is also possible to be mad be still conscious of the fact you can kill or ko someone when you are hitting them.
Ya, that makes sense. In what of Starlin's memoirs did you read that in again?
You know how hard it is to hold back power when you're pissed off and throwing full haymakers? You know how hard it is to hold back power when you're never stated to hold back power? You know that this would mean that when Warlock grabbed the gauntlet, that Magus was holding back power, and therefore would have never caused a scene since he'd have been swiftly defeated by Warlock?
Plus, if he would have depowered himself, it would have been in the company of Galactus... such a great idea hey?
NOW I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING THAT STARLIN WANTS US TO KNOW!

Look at the fight again. Marvel used energy amped attack to crack Nova's shields. He did other energy effects as well. I know he cracked Nova's helmet a little and made his bleed a little in the face with a good, all his might, punch (I didn't see any disfigurement though).
I know what he used. It was a punch with energy effects around it. Clearly it was irrelevant to a non energy effect punch.
And the same punch did nothing to Thanos. Point.

Thanos turned off sensory input, his power was still off the chain as the feats he had shown (like against Cap's shield). I don't see how that is depowering the shit out of oneself.
I realize it was still off the chain... that was my whole point. Thanos specifically depowered himself and he was still way above the heroes. Magus never specifically depowered himself, but if he did, that would still put him in a pretty powerful range of physical strength.
But Magus didn't depower himself. And breaking Cap's shield is nothing compared to beating up Abstracts.

I don't understand you here. Please explain again?
I have good evidence that Magus was holding back (he was trying to get Thanos to admit something). These characters never existed and we don't know anything about what really happened (because nothing did) but what the writer is revealing to us. We can't add or subtract anything but other than what the writer is showing us.
I'll just say it is inconclusive (no one wins). That's why the feat can't be used. We have no idea what range of power level Magus was hitting Thanos with.
Then why are you trying to add new things?
All I'm saying is that Magus with THE INFINITY GAUNTLET punched Thanos IN HIS FACEHOLE while he was pissed off. You're going through "He was holding back" "He could have been depowered" "My anus bleeds". It's bad enough that everyone else defeats you, but even worse when you blatantly defeat yourself.
How about you stop doing "loldoesntcount" everytime you dislike a feat?
Magus with the IG was hitting Thanos, while he had the IG on. Magus is above Sentry
Thor with the Power Gem was hitting Thanos. Thor is above Sentry (plus Thor hits the hardest out of all the heralds even without the Power Gem... so there's that)
Mar-Vell hit Thanos, and Thanos didn't flinch. Mar-Vell is above Sentry
Pattern? No of course not, none of this happened according to you.
