Either there's some miscommunication going on or you're replying to the wrong guy with this post.I said that the best case scenario based on Breevort's opinion (If we accept it as anything more than another interpretation), that each hero struck Thanos once. Basically that page that shows all of them getting a lick in? Imagine Spider-Man, Giant Man and whatever other fodder that was around getting a hit in.
Anything going further than that is speculative fanboy nonsense.
What the heck are you talking about? When did I argue that this somehow negated all of Thanos' other feats? As a matter of fact, I explicitly said otherwise in this thread, however, there's no denying that this was a shitty showing and worse ones are a very real possibility in the future. It is a long time coming, if it wasn't for Starlin, I doubt Thanos would be better off than Darkseid by now.
For the record, that yellow smoke/dust/steam whatever coming off of Thanos proves nothing. Character's have had the exact same effect when being knocked into a building etc. under Bagley, as a matter of fact, a similar effect is present when Groot knocks Thanos into the ground.
I didn't say you argued one low feat negates a character's past feats. I was addressing the fact that you called me an insecure fanboy for claiming that one low feat for a character doesn't negate a character's past feats. You called me an insecure fanboy, despite the fact that I agreed this was a low showing.
Yes, that yellow glowing smoke and arrows to the back (which you neglected to mention) does prove something. The fact that the arrows and the glowing smoke were on Thanos' back, yet all the attacks shown on panel were to Thanos' face, is evidence that people attacked him off-panel (and clearly shot/blasted/hit his back).

None of those guys are on Thor or Hulk level so its not the same.
I don't really get what you're trying to say here. I don't see how this is in any way a rebuttle to what I said. With that said, I'll just add...
Maybe Thanos should have called Aquarius and Taurus to help him with Hulk and Thor...
Is it me, or does Thanos come off looking worse with every re-read?
My main gripe with this comic is that besides knocking Groot aside, Thanos is unable to mount absolutely any offense and just comes off looking overall shitty with the look of horror, and the mocking he receives while he's on the ground. To make matters worse, the heroes didn't dog pile up on him but instead took turns punching him in the face.
This didn't look like Thor/Hulk and Avengers against a superior opponent. It looked like they teamed up to beat up another -out of control at least- Herald. At no point was there any possibility that Thanos could turn the tide or even that the Avengers were in danger, Bendis didn't even make the final beat-down look hard or strenuous.
That's disrespectful to Thanos imho.

Thanos never had the showings of being a team buster, especially a team of that magnitude and I don't understand why people threw those type of fts at him in the beginning anyways when overall, it was never there. Yes, he has trans level fts...killing Surfer, pushing Galactus, surviving Odin but wrecking teams of high order, hell no. This proved something that was needed a long time ago.
Lol...I guess that was the reason he mind controlled Hulk. Hulk did something that Thanos couldn't do and that was "lasting against a squad".

That's like saying Superman is bulletproof, but if you fire enough cotton at him from every angle you'll be able to beat him.
