Thanos vs Annihilators

^^ LOL! Branlor was the only person who got it. That was the scan I was going to post to dismiss the entire Thanos being afraid of Gladiator thing. Thanos' general who was one shot KO'ed by Thanos himself was rocking the likes of Gladiator, Super Skrull, Ronan AND annihilus. A lot of ppl skipped the new Avengers infinity tie-in and don't realize this. Keep in mind This is Thanos' underling general. Black dwarf put Gladiator on his knees for two panels and look at Gladiators face. He has a look of worry.... So if Black Dwarf one of Thanos' generals (who Thanos one-shotted out of spite) could put Gladiator on his knee while at the same time fighting against a team of elite seasoned warriors, generals and leaders....I really find it hard to believe that Thanos would be afraid to confront Gladiator individually.

Come on Bran...you have to do better than this. The first scan didn't have a choice BUT to happen before the interaction with Thanos because AFTER the Thanos fight, Black Bolt was wired to a machine.

1. They powered the bomb off of BB powers which weakened him. It doesnt matter when the comic came out, they gave us a description of what was going on with the bomb vs BB powers.

2. He then meets Thanos and that's when the fight began. His voice activated the bomb.

3. It's impossible for Max and BB to talk about the bomb and him being depowered because during this time, BB is a prisoner of Thanos (which means that was a past event about BB powers being diminished).

4. After we see BB on the machine, the next time we see him, he is mind controlled attacking his friends.

Again, I don't know where you got the idea that happened after the Thanos fight when there really isn't any indication of it since BB was subdued during that time and the terrigen bomb was already powered and already exploded and BB was used as a weapon against his friends.

So again, that scene happened before the Thanos fight.

If you're going to continue with the insults then there is no need for you to respond to me.

Gladiator wasn't down though and Thanos snuck attacked him. He didn't even see that coming. Nice try though.

Thanos is so far above the likes of Gladiator it isn't even funny. Thanos can take down a team of super heroes rather easily which consisted of Gladiator.

Quite honestly, I am at a loss for words though. This has passed the point of denial. It's something else at this point.

I don't know what I should say here. "Emotionally invested"?

The only thing I guess left to say is to post a link to what epilogue means:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/epilogue

And then posting the previews for New Avengers 12 so I can't doctor it and lie about it.
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=19106

The first scan shows the bomb blowing up. Indicating it happened previously. The third scan says "Epilogue". The scan you posted happened in this issue. And as we seen the bomb blowing up happened prior to your scan... uh...

New Avengers 12 was an epilogue to the entire Infinity event.

Besides that, you previously stated it happened right before the Thanos fight.

I thought I had the scans but I couldn't find it in my collection so I Google it and look what I found.

This was stated moments before the fight against Thanos. Hahahahaha. He was at half power before even facing Thanos. Half got darn power because of the bomb. Wait, he wasnt even at half power. As stated in this panel, it was kept a secret. Max nor BB wanted anyone to know about it. Crazy thing about it is, the bomb absorbed more of Bolts power as shown here.

Which it didn't.

I don't even have to post a scan to prove this. Like... did you even read Infinity? Serious question.

And I have no idea what you're trying to say with all this "machine talk" since I like blank out trying to understand it, but you do realize Maximus makes crazy tech all the time, and all that machine did was measure how powerful BB was after the events of Infinity.

I could go look at and doctor a scan from a later New Avengers right before the dreaded Sungod encounter, but it seems so unneeded.

Also, so you have a reason to ignore me, because the insults are the only reason you'd do that...
How's that sleep debating going?

Let the Mohawk dreams and consistent mumblings of "Gladiator" carry you to a better tomorrow.

And yet...while Thanos was regaling everyone with how much he was enjoying fighting The Annihilators - describing the experience as "nearly orgasmic" - he twice stated that he more or less didnt really want to get anywhere near Gladiator if he could help it. I find that hard to reconcile with the idea that he just couldnt be bothered fighting him rather than having some genuine concern that the encounter might not be quite so enjoyable for him.

Some people go around avoiding spiders. It doesn't mean that they would have trouble stepping on one.

I find the Gladiator avoiding positively hilarious however.

If the exact same thing happened but with Gladiator and Ronan reversed, you'd be getting the same arguments.

It's like Starlin picked the weakest character possible to apply it to so he could have fun with the aftermath.

Good job Bran destroying carver again with his lies.

I know something wasn't right with the scans he posted.

Carver's straight up crazy. Instead of arguing that Gladiator has any chance against Thanos, he should be sacrificing animals to Odin in hopes that they don't ever meet under Starlin. Gladiator would be extremely lucky to last as long as Bill did against Thanos under Starlin's pen.

Who the hell cares that he avoided combat when we just saw him beat up Bill, stomp Ronan and no-sell Surfer or when he eludes to possibilities like this:

Thanos just tanks an attack that melts herald-ish character's heads, and beat up Beta in a surprisingly respectful owning. His last feats before this were beating Ego, wrestling with an aspect of the Infinity Gauntlet, and tanking Thor.

But how could he withstand the fury of Gladiator? Better yet, how could he and a more powerful Adam Warlock together withstand his might? Legit thing to argue.

An alternate non-canon Gladiator who we might never see again and whose powerlevel is impossible to gauge.

Haha a Bentley joining Carver on the butthurt train.

Why fight someone when you don't have to ? Thanos doesn't typically go around the universe randomly testing himself and was about a mission so why take an unnecessary step. This is Thanos after all and a bfr is a legitimate win anyways. His best feats crap all over Gladiator's as does his entire history so please cease the bs.

But, as stated before, that interpretation begins to look real shakey given all the talk from Thanos about what a blast he was having fighting the others:

Thanos: "OMG - this is literally better than sex! I had forgotten how exhilarating it is to crush ones enemies. A little light exercise ha ha! Is that the best you have to offer?"

Warlock: "Gladiator should be back any minute now."

Thanos: "...Time to go."

I'm just saying it like it is 😛

Are you including me in that butthurt? I'm a Thanos fan ahah

Glads said himself when locked in the Klyn he was no match for Thanos, plus you just wish to ignore all the people Glads has struggled with who Thanos has crushed.

Typical Hulk fan.

Based on the dialogue, it seemed Thanos considered Gladiator more of an annoying nuisance rather than a legit threat to waste his time pummeling into oblivion. /shrugs

also wasn't Warlock rushing thanos to get to their objective?
