In infinity war thanos shoots his beam at thor who no sells it with stormbreaker, he then ends up with an axe in his chest and on the verge of tears. Eg thor is a joke and gets replaced with his ex he is so bad.
Aquaman beat black manta in a high tech Atlanta battle suit. Made by thos people who figured the secret to INFINITE ENERGY. Why are you using a fight aquaman won to downplay him?
He might not have stormbreaker, but he does have the king's trident. Not exactly comparable but since his old crappy one was capable of piercing steppenwolf, then I say it should be able to pierce thanks. Especially since drak's knives were also able to.
It is both he needed the strength and durability to resist. If his muscles could not resist he would be blown away. If you have no idea how the human body works and braces for impact you should not be in this debate.
Thor also said he won easily and often exaggerates. Hulk is the strongest avenger and the only one strong enough to survive using the gauntlet.
Thor catches him off guard by stunning a energy barraged Thanos since he just put the last stone on. The energy hurts when the stones are all present. We see it start to hurt Hulk and cap just by putting it on. So Thor has that going, him distracted, a cheapshot and a momentum and all out hurl of the axe. The energy shot by the stones it went through. That does not make it more powerful than the stones just more powerful than the blast used with the momentum thrown at Thanos. Just as Tony Stark deflects a power stone blast with his shield. That doesn not make it more powerful than the blast just resistant enough to deflect the blast hurled at it.
And game store is not a joke. That version of Thor went up against an able bodied and prepared Thanos. So the difference clearly was that in this situation Thanos was not distracted and worn down by the energy of combining all infinity stones.
So what you are saying is that his human strength is not even important? Tech matters yes but so does strength. This is why when Iron Man goes toe to toe with Thanos we see who is clearly stronger when they lock horns. We saw no major strength edge there. You were just basing aqua mans strength on feeds that you not match how the characters portrayed in this franchise.
That was made years ago by the first king. So the armor has no relevance here since it was created by people far later than those that originally stumbled upon that. The armor does not possess infinite energy so what is your point? You have none. You were desperate. You are ridiculous. You troll.
The trailer does not have the seats to support that it is comparable to storm breaker. Thanos has the skill and the ability to dodge anyways. We see him not even take a storm breaker swing even without a weapon. He is armed here and will make shirt work of AM who was clearly outmatched by Steppenwolf.
