Thanos vs Annihilators

Are you kidding right now? I've repeatedly said it happened after Infinity.

What are you even talking about? Post a scan showing two bombs. Post a scan showing a city blowing up twice over New York.

Like this isn't rocket science. One bomb blew up. I don't even know how you got to your interpretations. And the "second bomb" that blew up has a headline at the top of the page that says "Previously in Infinity".
Like do you think hundreds of bombs blew up due to all the flashbacks to the bomb going off in Inhumanity and shit? One bomb morphed a bunch of people into In humans and then it was just a bomb spam spree afterwards?

I don't know how you even ended up at this place anyway. How do you figure a comic that came out two months later as an epilogue to the whole event was actually a past showing in the first place? And when the hell would the first bomb have even happened since the Terrigen Bomb against Thanos was what specifically what morphed the hidden Inhumans.
There's so much to say about this but ****... your ignorance is making it hard.

Can you please go read Infinity 6 and New Avengers 12 please?

YOU'RE basically saying two bombs went off. Not me. I'll be back. I will post both issues.

Scans is a plural word. Scan is singular. I used the word Scans. You are talking about a single Scan. See the difference?

But yes, it is possible that a single scan can leave out context. But not all scans are this way. The feats I mention, the context is either known or the scan gives all relevant information.

Um, SCANS can as well, especially with the white noise of spin playing in the background.

He did not ****ing run from Gladiator, he removed him.

This never happened. Stop making stuff up.

I'm going to assume you grasp the idea that it wasnt a literal retelling of the events and dialogue from the book...but moving past that - yeah, thats more or less what happened.

The only thing Thanos said was he thought Gladiator was the strongest of the Annihilators present, and that he would "deal with him personally" before BFRing him.

Thanos said Gladiator was "by far the most dangerous of this lot" and then he BFR-ed him, adding that he would hopefully be gone before Glads managed to return.

He then fought the others, who conveniently lined up to face him one at a time, and would not shut-up about how much he was enjoying himself:
"The pleasure of inflicting this kind of punishment is nearly orgasmic"
"I expected a much more challenging contest"
"Now that is what I was looking for! Some old fashioned fighting spirit fuelled by righteous indignation!"
"You mistake the desire for a little exercise with unbridled rage."

Obviously a guy who wasnt interested in getting into a fight yeah?

And then this gem:

"According to my calculations Gladiator will be arriving back here in approximately 3.6 minutes. We would be well advised to quit of this site before then."

Of course he only said this because Thanos doesnt like to fight someone if he doesnt have to right? Thats the most straightfoward interpretation obviously.

Somehow that translates to "omg Gladiator is so much more powerful than me, I fear him" 😂 [/B]

I think i made it clear thats not what i'm saying. But its pretty clear that Thanos didnt want to engage Gladiator ("by far" the most dangerous Annihilator) and given the fact he spent 9 pages beating on everyone else for no good reason and thoroughly enjoying himself its pretty hard to argue that its only because he had no interest in fighting anyone he didnt have to. In fact its a little absurd.

People will see what they want to see though I suppose...

Per Bran admission what happened was...

1. Thanos and BB fought and while fighting the terrigen bomb went off as shown in infinity.

2. Black Bolt somehow got away from Thanos after their fight and Max advise BB that he's weakened due to the terrigen bomb...the same got darn bomb that exploded already. So what this means is that not only did Max build 2 bombs, the both of them went off around the same time (since we see a bomb going off in infinity and we see a bomb going off in new Avengers as well).

New Avengers showed a past event with the interaction between Max and BB. Happens all the time in comics. In infinity we see Max and the dog walk off due to the bomb being activated. In new Avengers we see Max and the dog yet again walking away from the bomb. We see them activating the bomb in new Avengers. We see the bomb go off in infinity.

I'm not ignoring anything. I'm just looking at what we were shown in the issue.

Sure other stories by other writers often show different things, we all know that, but in this story Thanos did not look like he felt Gladiator was a cockroach who just wasnt worth squashing.

I know thats the default interpretation when Thanos doesnt look absolutely unstoppable but it seems like a pretty big stretch in this scene. If you think Thanos would crush Gladiator based on the bulk of continuity - fine. But i cant agree with the attempt to try and spin this scene in order to try and make it fit that narrative. It is what it is.

Dont get angry at me - take it up with Starlin.

The writer in the Thanos self titled run was the same guy, Jim Starlin.

"This lot." Surfer was not among them at the time.

Read the first part of my post. Per Bran admission. I list what his admissions were. SMH.

Sadly the Annihilators are far less than the sum of their parts.

You'd think that these guys would be capable of dealing with any trans threat, but no.

I think that the fight would be very demanding every time, and it would take very much out of him, but I can't see Thanos losing.

Yeah, well, this doesn't prove that they can't. They didn't work together in this case, all the members were not on the field and there were TWO herald busters on the field. Surprised everyone is ignoring Warlock.

It doesn't matter as he was eager to take out Surfer too before Warlock oneshotted him. Yet after it, he wanted to leave before Glads came back, which is still Glads > Surfer in Thanos opinion.

Warlock was actually saving them from a beating.
He took out Quasar cause he wanted to save him from a "savage beating" and he took out Surfer cause he was afraid Thanos would have killed him.

I never said he got hit from behind, I said it was a surprise unexpected attack, and it was.

They were face to face!! That's not a suprise attack. He had a change to block or evade the blow and he didn't. Sadly, you are living up to your reputation as a liar. The point is the DAMAGE of the blow as a display of raw power.

Oh, and everyone here knows that if Hulk did the exact same thing A) it would not be dismissed as a "sneak attack" and b) you would have orgasmed and told us about it.

I undertand that perfectly well, I'm saying he had the power to easily incapacitate these heralds.

Per my sensory Gladiator will return in ... we will be well advised to be gone by then.

Let's reword this. Me and Blue Area is about to fight, I charge him...blue tells me that I'm dangerous and have someone hand cuff me and throw me in a closet. Blue hearing me rip the handcuffs off and say 'i can hear him ripping through the handcuffs, I need to be lone gone before he rip the handcuffs off and bust the door down'. Sounds like Blue is scared of me...worried that I am about to tap... so he leaves before confronting me.

Thanos got the hell on because his sensors sensed Gladiator approach. Why bring up Gladiator showing up and leaving if Gladiator wasn't a huge threat? Denial.

So this isn't a surprised attack either then? Hulk nearly milling Thor with 3 hits.

It DOES matter. Surfer was not present when he said Gladitor was the biggest threat of these lot, therefore he was not talking about Surfer. Why do you think the artist didn't have Surfer with the rest of the "lot" at the time Thanos made the comment? Thanos simply made a tactical decision seeing that Gladitor had his chest all stuck out. It does not mean he was scared of him at all.

Secondly, and hear this well, haters. Thanos removed Gladitor WHEN HE WAS WITH THE OTHER THREE Annihilators. It's not like he was solo and when Thanos removed him. Why risk fighting him along with the other three? When Surfer came, the others were defeated. HE FACED SURFER SOLO and was able to enjoy himself. So stop the spin that Thanos made a direct comparison between Surfer and Gladiator because the comic DID NOT show that.
