If you look at the scans the gauge next to the device is empty. When Thanos places his hand on the pad he starts to fill the gauge up. When Drax kills Thanos you can clearly see the gauge is full, all Surfer does is simply complete the sequence.
Originally posted by Insane TitanIf you look at the scan where Drax and Moondragon are talking after Drax kills Thanos you can clearly see that the power cell was just under halfway full based on the gauge.
ignore what carver says the gauge is CLEARLY full when Drax kills Thanos
So no it wasn't clearly full.

It not hard to understand the gauge went from yellow to red to indicate it was full, if you look at the starting point on the gauge when it's empty it's a darkish colour( that's where the gauge starts)
Originally posted by Insane TitanEven if that were true, which it isn't, then the gauge not being full when Drax and Moondragon are talking would indicate that Surfer still had to fill some of it.
I'm talking about when Drax kills Thanos the gauge is full.
Secondly the only time we see the gauge when Drax shows up it is also clearly under the half way point.
Therefore it was not full. The only way you could possibly make the argument that it was filled at the time Drax killed Thanos is if you were looking at drawing wrong. As in you were assuming the red section of the gauge was the full section.
But clearly the gauge started from right at red and was filling up towards the left and never got past the halfway point at yellow.
EDIT: Also I really don't think this proves that Surfer was or was not powered up.
Personally I don't think he was powered up, but obviously the gauge was not full.
Originally posted by Newjakread the rest of my last post , when the gauge was empty the meter on it was dark and you see it filling up In yellow from left to right iirc.

Carver, post a scan. You're ready.
Half way full baby. It wasn't even half way.

Not only that...Thanos took forever to get it to that point. Surfer filled the rest in one quick burst of energy.

Before Drax attacked Thanos, Thanos admits he needs more time.

not trying to be a smart ass as I've debated this point before on herochat.Plus more often than not a gauge simply fills up not down
But according to that line of thought Thanos should have already had it powered up if the gauge was filled correct?
Carver has tried to be smart ass and just proved my point.
The scans he posted aren't even from the start of Thanos filling the gauge up when it's shown to be empty, plus the cylinders on the top of the machine are empty at the start and full when Thanos dies.
Some one quote me so carver can see his failings lol
Originally posted by Insane TitanTechnically Moondragon does say the power cell array wasn't filled when she is talking to Drax.

So if the gauge was filling up right to left it was under halfway.
If it was filling up left to right it would still have not been full according to Moondragon's own words.
Either way he is right when he says it wasn't full.
So Surfer had to supply some power it probably just depends on how much you want to attribute to him.
Originally posted by Newjakit wasn't just the gauge that filled up but the cylinders on the top filled too.

When Thanos starts the process the gauge and cylinders are completely empty and I'm almost certain the gauge is shown slowly filling from the centre upwards
Originally posted by Insane TitanWe actually never see a inbetween from the one time we saw Thanos' hand on it powering up to when Drax and Moondragon are arguing. They appear to be at the exact same power level and no intermediate steps are shown of the gauge.

In fact in that entire scene I think we only see the gauge three times. Before Thanos puts his hand on it, right before Drax attacks him, and after Thanos is killed.
My scans really didn't fail...if the gauge is filling up, the light is a sign of how much power is being emptied into said gauge...we shouldn't think the opposite. As shown per the scan, the gauge wasn't even half way full. Please don't quote him if his reply is directed at me. Deleted his comments to me.
Originally posted by carver9Based on the one scan he pointed out where we see the gauge empty he could be right in that Thanos almost had it filled carver.

Originally posted by Newjaklol you see the gauge filling FROM LEFT TO RIGHT slowly when Thanos starts the process.
Technically Moondragon does say the power cell array wasn't filled when she is talking to Drax.So if the gauge was filling up right to left it was under halfway.
If it was filling up left to right it would still have not been full according to Moondragon's own words.
Either way he is right when he says it wasn't full.

Moondragon said about the process not been finished/complete, Surfer completes the releasing mechanism.
It hard to see why posters ignore what's actually shown on panel .
It's this simple ..the gauge is show to fill from left to right and is empty at the start and shown to be full when Drax kills Thanos . The thing happens with the cylinders on the top of the machine.
