Btw, re-reading that, Infinity Watch + Surfer + Strange + Moondragon before Thanos joined would have lost in probably the equivalent of 10 minutes to Asgard’s regular army.
Probably less, if Thanos hadn’t taken out Heimdall. The only elite present were Hogun, Volstagg, and Balder, and tbh, in terms of the weapons, power items, and elite Asgardians, they’re very low level.
"Titan, you tap into a power source dark and near limitless, as I am connected to a similar reserve".

so....NOWHERE does he admit that thanos is near his power, which is what you keep saying he is? 😂
glad you quoted it though. i genuinely thought you were having a stroke or something or were suffering some form of dyslexia and actually thought it said what you keep saying it did. 😂
it doesn't nor does it mean the same. 😐
know who else draws on a near limitless supply of energy? the silver surfer who taps the power cosmic. quasar and the q-bands also do. hulk's strength draws from a near limitless source of power. they're all pars of odin too right?
it was a good showing for thanos. he took a beating and kept getting up. there was NO POINT IN THE FIGHT where odin was actually threatened or hurt or in any danger at all of losing to thanos. clearly underestimated him yes. just stop making it more than it was. lol like me telling you that will stop your--not trolling because i think you really believe your stance--delusion propagation 😂 fortunately EVERYONE aside from you sees what actually happened. stupid hill to die on but die you will, i know. somewhere taps is playing.... 👆

https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Warlock-and-the-Infinity-Watch/Issue-25?id=63821The Odin vs. Thanos fight, written by Thanos’ biggest fan, Jim Starlin. I’ll let people reach their own conclusion, but the perspective that Thanos is nearly as powerful as Odin is stupid.
Please note, the additional context, that they were there because Thor would eventually break free of his force containment, and then they’d all be screwed and Odin was their only chance etc.
And, this is Odin at his base level*. Odin can become significantly more powerful by drawing on the power of the dimension of Asgard, and also the World Tree. It’s the equivalent of base form if Odin was a saiyan.
*I know current canon about the OF basically doesn’t follow any of the old rules.
Btw, in Dan Jurgen’s run, Thanos (1) admitted that Odin beat him, (2) resorted to prepping for months and poisoning Odin before stepping foot in Asgard, and (3) lost to Thor with universal level amp when Thor had a shield empowered by the OF. This Thanos was retconned to be a clone a few years later, but a high powered clone. Not perfect, but with the additional context, Classic Odin >>>> Thanos is my conclusion.
Anything else is just revisionism.

Absolute strawman logic. Odin has never compared himself to these characters and these characters have never waded through a sustained blast from Odin.
it was a good showing for thanos. he took a beating and kept getting up. there was NO POINT IN THE FIGHT where odin was actually threatened or hurt or in any danger at all of losing to thanos.

"Underestimated him", dude he straight up said Thanos is nearly as powerful as himself.
Rest is just revisionist nonsense.

What does that have to do with anything?
Your assertion is that Odin said Thanos is nearly as powerful as himself.

As I said, Odin himself admitted that Thanos was nearly as powerful as himself.
As seen here.
Given that you don't seem to have a rebuttal for my incredibly correct interpretation of Odin's words you'd seem to agree?
Ergo, your assertion that Odin admitted Thanos was nearly as powerful as himself was wrong, and you concede the point. And I gladly accept your concession. 👆
These guys are trying to gaslight that Odin didn't admit that Thanos taps into energy nearly as limitless as his own despite the words literally being on panel.
You can change your mind, but you can't change your past abhi.

What are you even talking about? I posted Odin's words verbatim that he and Thanos are tapping into similar power reserves but Odin claimed his power being divine has an edge. That's exactly what nearly being as powerful means lol.

Amusing but no cigar.

Again, faintly amusing but no Bueno.
Odin only stated that the respective power-sources that he and Thanos had access to were similar in the sense that they are both near-limitless.
The depth to which they could each draw upon said power-sources is an entirely different discussion, however... And Odin made no direct comparisons in that regard.
the point i was trying to get at with the power cosmic comparison and rage's sun sun comparison. maybe you'll have better luck getting through but i don't it after reading this:
I posted Odin's words verbatim that he and Thanos are tapping into similar power reserves but Odin claimed his power being divine has an edge.
"Odin claimed his power being divine has an edge."
odin NEVER claimed that. EVER. he simply stated a fact. it COULD imply that odin believes himself WELL above thanos. which i'm sure he does.
again, this misinterpretation (and blatant misrepresentation) is astounding even by your own standards abhi. it would be fine--we all misunderstand sh!t at times. but damn man--we don't all try to foist our misunderstandings on others for page after page after page....and stop saying odin said this or that when he manifestly did not. your inability to alter your position--however wrong--is actually breathtaking 😂

I’ll put this into a context Abhi understands.Both Superboy Prime and Superboy (Conner) get their physical powers from the Sun. Is Conner nearly as powerful as Prime?
Conner was even able to put up a fight against Prime for many pages.
Never change ragey.

Even handbooks confirm that Thanos and Odin fought to a standstill if you wanted something to reinforce the notion that Thanos was nearly as powerful as Odin.

👆Moreover, he made the point that his power is divine and Thanos' wasn't. He said that factor made his win inevitable but he didn't say it was a "near" distinction. He just said it was decisive.

Odin swatted infinite power tapping Surfer like a fly in the very same comic lol. Prime swatted similar power tapping Superman, M'onel and Andromeda like flies.
Its like you guys don't even try anymore.
"Odin claimed his power being divine has an edge."odin NEVER claimed that. EVER. he simply stated a fact. it COULD imply that odin believes himself WELL above thanos. which i'm sure he does.
He literally says that his power being divine, science based powers can't match it.

Oh **** off, it's like Quanchi's decade long trolling literally shuts everyone's brains on this fight that they can't even understand simple facts.

Are you serious with this bullshit?
Originally posted by abhilegendYour claim: Odin "outright admitted" Thanos was his near equal
Lol, typical dumbo tactic.
Yeah, Odin somehow only mentioned their power sources being near identical and Thanos even waded through Odin's blast but let's ignore that to pretend that the fight wasn't pretty much back and forth until Odin wore Thanos down.Even handbooks confirm that Thanos and Odin fought to a standstill if you wanted something to reinforce the notion that Thanos was nearly as powerful as Odin.
Thanos refutes Odin's claim of divinity being superior on the very same page.
Your proof:
- Odin compared their power sources
- Thanos waded through a blast
- Fight was back and forth
- Handbooks say they fought to a standstill
- Thanos "refuted" Odin's claim of being superior
Look at the claim and look at the "proof". Even if someone agreed with you on each point, they are totally irrelevant to your claim. Thanos' response doesn't change the meaning of Odin's words. Neither do handbook comparisons.
Odin either outright said something, or he didn't.
