I guess you could make an argument that such statement adds to his credence. But we should also considered that by facing the Time Gem Thanos should have considered Strange was always going to find one salvageable future on each 14,000,605 at least. That reduces his odds to win all that more because one within that many possiblities always becomes his defeat.

Actually that 1 in 14000605 was stupid by the writer's.
There are countless ways to for them to win.

Strange could reverse time and stop Quill from interfering. Or stop Gamora's sister from talking to Quill, etc.

The taking the glove off scene makes the statement stupid.

I think that whole scene with 14,000,605 scenarios was meant to show that even taking the glove off wouldn't have stopped him. Even without it, they likely couldn't have killed him which means he would have eventually gotten it again.

My theory is that taking the IG off would have actually gotten them all killed. None of them could likely contain all that power so just holding it likely would have killed anyone of them and if the IG hit the ground, then bye bye planet thanks to the power stone

Let's assume that Clark's and Bruce's mom didn't share a common name.
Then it is easy to that Luthor would have won.

If Luthor was in Thanos body and had his ability to fight and use the gems then he too could have pulled it off.

I'm not sure if Thanos was in Luthor's body could have pulled it off (Luthor's plan).

Luthor's plan was to get two people to fight each other by lying to them, elementary school girls successfully pull that plan off almost everyday and you think Thanos would fail?

Did you even watch the movie? It was exceedingly easy to get them to fight each other.

clearly you didn't watch BvS cuz if you did you'd know that Luthor completed his objective of killing Superman....

Perhaps you should watch bvs, because Luthor's first plan to kill Superman failed. That's why he had to go with his back-up plan, IE Doomsday.

so basically a guy with a plan and a back up plan is shit at planning.... i dunno where youre from but having a "plan b" is always a smart policy lol im not sure what point youre trying to make but you've failed miserably, if anything you've illustrated that Luthor is good at strategy... Luthor still got what he wanted, Superman died end of story.

A guy whose main plan failed and who's backup plan was retarded doesn't win a contest of who is the better strategist.

luthor sucked...

thanos knew what he wanted and accomplished what he set out to do

Im not taking anything away from Thanos he accomplished his goal in a much better fashion than Luthor... but dont go being ignorant and say that Lex isn't at least a competent strategist within the context of his film because he did complete his objective which is more than I can say for 90% of movie villains

His first plan failed and his backup plan was retarded. the fact that his retarded plan worked, doesn't change the fact that it was retarded.

Bottom line, Thanos succeeded. Luthor failed.

This. Thanos is superior in every way, shape and form.

But Thanos (in the movies) Never really Had a Tactical Plan. He just said GO Find the Stones. That isn't really a Plan ! Unless you think you are forming a battle plan when you play Fetch with your dog...

Your posts are jokes in the first place. Can’t take anything you say seriously at this point. You’re a joke.

^I would say that your post is a joke post since FLY gave sound reasoning and you didn’t attempt to rebut it.

If I gave you a 1st grade math problem. And Someone else a graduate level math problem. If You got yours right but he almost got his right then That doesn’t make you the better mathematician.
