so, you think they showed an empty speech bubble to indicate he was ko'd? 😑 seems more logical to think he was actually speaking, but wasn't making a sound. if he was out why use a bubble at all?? that would make that scene unique in comicbook history i'd wager. makes no sense, but your perogative. and i don't think the 'no air rule' is broken very often at all as regards speech in space--not without some explanation given. 😬
So you think he was Ko'd as he fell to earth then? Cuz if he was just stunned i'd expect him to at least try and not fall to Earth. Thats how i see it anyway.
i think he [galactus] was insensate as he fell and was briefly ko'd when he hit the ground. you don't need to be ko'd if you're too stunned to do anything.

And?
Considering he gained Odins respect, I think you're downplaying how impressive this durability feat was. Especially since in the same fight, Odin barely acknowledges Surfer while instantly putting him down.
Thanos has other feats of power, like knocking down Thing and Thor in one attack each back in the day.

Thor wasn't down after one attack, IIRC Thanos even commented that it would take a couple more.
And Thanos has done nothing to show his capability of defeating 8 Thor-level beings simultaneously.
Thor level beings? How can they be Thor level beings if Thor beat two of them simultaneously? At best they're close to Thor, but not quite there, and I tend to treat beings close to Thor as high herald, which we know for a fact Thanos can easily destroy (like he's shown in the past).
Yea. Because a nonchalant Odin isn't the minimum level of power required to wreck Thanos' shields and proceed to pound Thanos into the ground. So yeah, invoking characters more powerful than Thanos isn't proving Thanos can defeat 8 Thor-level beings simultaneously.

Thanos geting one-shotted by Maker and getting b1tch-slapped up and down the battlefield by Thanos/Tyrant doesn't put Thanos on their level. It simply highlights how far away Thanos is from that level. And "low-mid heralds" don't bring Thor to the brink of death or completely stomp [b](i) Bleeding Edge Iron Man, or (ii) Red Hulk toe-to-toe, or (iii) Namor underwater. The damage Spider Woman dealt to Nul was more inconsequential to the damage Thanos dealt Odin. Which was pretty inconsequential. Reread what I said. Your first paragraph is completely irrelevant.

Thanos getting one shotted by Maker isn't something to be ashamed of. An insane Cube Being "sucker punched"/KOed him, then he gets back up and waxes that ass. He was still on his feet despite brutal attacks from Odin and Tyrant. His shields depleted Galactus. He's killed a high herald with seven punches. WTF don't you understand? Which of those worthless "Worthy" are on that level?
OMG Worthy Thing beat a Rulk that refused to use his full range of powers because he'd didn't want to get stuck in Rulk form! OMFG someone beat Namor underwater! Stop the presses. Bleeding Edge Ironman you say? That's way more impressive than a blast from Odin channel through Gungnir! Or an psychopathic Cube Being. You sure showed me! 🙄
Originally posted by leonidasDont see why not. :/ Its Fraction...he's making skyfathers use headbutts. I'd honestly be very surprised if his intention were for him to not be able to talk cuz of the lack of air rather than just being Ko'd. Heres another instance of talking in space: http://s3d3.turboimagehost.com/sp/6b1e36092cf8334e781c99ecd7d4ab94/07-27-2011_08.jpg

It could be argued either way i suppose as whether Galactus was Ko'd or not. I personally dont think he was conscious while he falling but if Fraction came out and said he was then I wouldnt be shocked or anything.
the link doens't work. in any event, it's sort of pointless i guess. i just can't imagine why there would be a bubble if he were ko'd. why confuse the issue? ko, no bubble, no confusion. i think a bubble with "..." pretty clearly indicates stunned/can't get his sh!t together to put thoughts into words or action. empty=no sound. alas, you don't seem like you're changing your stance, and i'm afraid i'm not chainging mine so we'll just leave it at that.
Originally posted by leonidasoh. Well it was Thor calling surfer a bastard in space lol. Hmm well your right. I think we will have to agree to disagree. easier this way.

nah he was ko'd. no air doesnt seem to matter in comics. http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/rulk3ow5.jpg
also, loeb
I recall one of FCBD's issues, Thor/Iron Man, had Thor talk in space with the reasoning being his divinity when he was asked how he was doing that by Tony. Still, comics don't always remember that there's no sound in space, so it's not that big of a deal.
Personally, I don't think Worthy Hulk was KOd.

Because of his major durability, basically.
He's taken Surfers best before, and it's a tossup between him and Thor for top herald in Marvel. A weaker clone tanked Thor's best, minus his trump card. I guess a Godblast could mess him up, but outside of that..?
Plus, his shields are strong enough to keep from from getting crushed by Galactus and Omega in the first attack.
But no one's saying because Thanos survived attacks from Omega/Tyrant/Odin/Maker, that he's on their level. Only that it reinforces his durability being off the charts, and it taking a trump card exotic power to really hurt him. IMO, punches from Nul aren't going to cut it..
