In character if Thanos saw a group of six characters one of which was Thor, he would immediately force block contain them because he isn't a dumb brute of a character, if he somehow missed one like Superman who has the possibility of dodging due to his speed, he would then switch to TP to even things up in terms of movement speed. When averaging things out like this, you have to go by track record, and Thanos' track record is a hell of a lot better than any of the people that he's facing here. Three of the team are complete non factors.
Originally posted by StoicIt depends on the circumstances in which Superman got hit. Did he intentionally get hit? Or was his speed/reflexes ignored at the time?
Yes [b]"we go by the writer's intentions" when it suits our argument, but when it doesn't we just toss the writer's intentions out the window. When Superman gets hit, he's jobbing, but when he's ducking, and weaving it's the writer's intentions. [/B]
Originally posted by Insane TitanWhat was it that slowed Thor's hammer down to a stop? Something was drawn (a barrier of some sort).
spot on .I remember when he said Thanos used a shield against Odin and to stop Thor's hammer before despite it not even been shown, said or even hinted at.
Many of the characters are faster than Thanos. The moment the fight began he would be getting popped right and left. He would literally have no time to properly attack. No one is just going to sit there and allow Thanos to attack while they watch. Any type of evasive moving around would cause Thanos to miss (assuming they didn't begin attacking right away).
Superman would be a huge problem. He knows by basic knowledge how dangerous Thanos is. He's going to bring his A game. Speed will phuck Thanos badly.
