ALSO, Thanos in the new Starlin books is heavily characterized by the experiences of Marvel: The End, which is non-canon. This version of Thanos is a continuation of a non-canon storyline and is therefore also non-canon.Likewise, the being that Thanos usurps at the end is referred to only as "Above All Others" in the storyline. This may mean it's referring to a different character.
The second point about "Above All Others" vs TOAA convinced me. Perhaps there is an intermediary sentience in that universe between TOAA and TLT.

that doesnt make it noncanon. it just means other writers didn't give a shit about recycling characters who have died.So is that 2003 thanos series noncanon also? are you idiots now trying to act like every story that starlin ever wrote isnt canon? 😂
it's hard to imagine people actually being this stupid but here we are......
The 2003 series itself only has a tenuous connection to anything in continuity. The main reason it references The End is because it's also written by Jim Starlin, who has his own individual pseudo-canon spanning all of his works, because Marvel editors can't really reign him in due to his notoriety.
With regards to being mentioned in "canon" books it's really just the other Starlin series and some promotional fluff material that primarily came out before Brevoort made it clear that it had always been non-canon.

still waiting for actual proof that the stories aren't canon lol.stop dick-riding interviews ffs.
Starlin himself came down from high, cupped his hand around Albert's supple young frame, and whispered that it was indeed canon.
And if he wanted to pay a little extra, he could come and see his Infinity Gems.

So what's your PROOF that Marvel: The End, The Thanos mini, and the recent Infinity series are non-canon?

BTW, I went to last year's LA con and actually met Starlin in person andasked if the Current infinity books were cannon an he confirmed it was simply a side project that marvel let him have
There definitely non cannon. At all. So it's invalid
Phuck you Galan, this isn't just an interview. This is Word of God.

tbf, starlin was probably just trying to figure out how a 46 year old man was appearing to him in the vessel of a 16 year old boy.
"TELL ME YOUR SECRET!!!!"
"Lmao it's common sense, Jim. My birth certificate is non canon. You're so bad at this, all the other writers laugh at you."

Non-canon doesn't always mean that it takes place in an alt universe which is ultimately still canon to the greater Multiverse. Sometimes it just means that it's a story with Marvel's characters that isn't connected to their multiverse at all.
Originally posted by AlbertoJohnAvilIf he wanted the stories to be non-canon, then he shouldn't have allowed multiple books to be published that solidify their canonicity within the company.
So YOU'RE telling me that NOTHING Brevoort says overrides the comic?
You know WHO he is right?He's the WOG
This, again, is why writer statements are not admissible and do not override on-panel fact/canon.
