But you, just a scant few hours ago, didn't even know that Mangog could be BFRd. So how can you 'know' the truth?
Also, with regards to the nitpicking:

Well you seemed to nitpick language just fine when it suited you:

That's far faster than the bullet catch normal Sentry did (his fastest feat I've seen).
Originally posted by DarkSaint85You are begging the question (a logical fallacy). You are assuming the chair is standard equipment without proof. Sarcastic "why wouldn't he have his standard equipment."
Btw, in case you're arguing that Thanos had his chair when he BFRd Glass, I was referring to the mindset he has in fighting i.e. he is willing to use BFR for the quick victory.Edit: though thinking about it, why wouldn't he have his standard equipment?
He has teleported without the chair before, just in case you were wondering.
But sure. We can open it up to others to chime in if you so wish. Is Thanos' chair considered standard equipment.
Edit: MOREOVER, weren't you the guy who argued Frank had a vibranium knife as standard equipment, as 'he had never been shown to have lost it'?
Thanos hasn't been shown to have lost his chair. Ergo, he has it, no?

Having not lost a chair =/= chair being standard equipment.
But know that Thanos doesn't currently have the chair (do you know why?)
You and I both been here many years and neither of us has seen anyone argue that Thanos chair is part of his standard equipment. The chair is seen is like what, less than 1% of his appearances and fights. It often either gets destroyed or simply not used (stays on Sanctuary or in some remote place).

What others argue is of no concern to me. You're the one who has said on many occasion that you don't go by the popular concensus.But if you want to nitpick and go down this tangent of HOW precisely he BFRs Mangog, that's on you and tells me you are unable to argue his ability to do so.
How am I nitpicking? You have a specific way in which Thanos wins. It is flawed. This is a debate forum. We don't come here to agree. We come to debate. If I see a flaw I'm going to try to point it out.
Now you are trying to save face by arguing that it is a tangent?
I addressed the argument that you gave head on. No tangents. If you knew other ways Thanos could bfr them you would have given them instead of continue with the flawed specific way ( "just like how he bfr Gladiator..."😉
I'm open to proof (through examples) of how Thanos can bfr Mangog.
I am saying he can BFR Mangog through teleportation. Mangog can be sent away, like Gladiator was sent away. It is not for me to educate you on whether Thanos can teleport with his chair, or without it - it's called comics.
Sure, you can ask and appeal to my ego if you so wish. But you know that that does not work with me - I will simply string you along as long as possible, whilst maintaining that he can indeed teleport without using his chair.
Assuming he doesn't have his standard equipment like his chair 😂

Let me educate you. Thanos opened a portal right in front of Gladiator WHILE Gladiator was rushing to attack Thanos.
Gladiator flew through the portal. Thanos used the chair to achieve this.
Whether Thanos can teleport or not is irrelevant to him being able to Bfr someone. Duh
Originally posted by DarkSaint85Prove that he can currently open portals with ONLY standard equipment (exactly like the one against Gladiator).
He can open portals without his chair, if that is the nitpick you are attempting to focus on.....You DO know that, right?
Edit: was this your big reveal? That he doesn't open portals without his chair, so he can't open one for Mangog to leap through???? Lol.
Because the plot point behind the whole idea of restoring his chair was so that he can travel to remote places.

In other words, he can't do anything to Mangog, if Bfr is off.
Thank you for that.Now on to my true intent.
Bfr is not option for Thanos here.
Why?
Because the Bfr feat against Gladiator doesn't count in a forum fight.
Think about why before you respond.
So cunning! Much trickery! Truly, we have an heir to Odysseus in our midst, a veritable trickster for the ages!
Pray, tell me, why does the BFR feat against Gladiator not count in a forum fight?
Think about why not before you respond - as I have tried to think why, and as I do not possess your singularly stunning intellect, I was unable to think of a reason why it wouldn't count.

Did you read my last post about proving your claim?

The feat does not count because Thanos had his chair when he did the feat. He does not have his chair in a forum fight.Did you read my last post about proving your claim?
Yeah, and first I am asking you to prove this claim about his chair being destroyed meaning he couldn't teleport without it.
Prove that just because he had no chair (which storyline was it in, and when was it? His chair gets destroyed a couple of times) meant that his teleportation capabilities were gone.
Remember, you know the supposed truth. So let's see this truth.
Double post: to be clear, I want you to prove that he is unable to open portals without his chair.
Now, you will argue you don't have to. That the onus is on me, proving a negative or whatever fancy college term you fancy edumacated folks like to use. No!
You assert (yes, I use that term here) that his chair being destroyed and subsequently restored was a plot point for him to travel about. So prove that this has anything to do with the debate at hand. Like I said, it's a nitpicking tangent but you didn't want to take the exit I graciously offered.
Your arrogance (misplaced, as per usual) once again rubbed me the wrong way, so am going to have a bit of fun with you. What makes you think that he is unable to open portals without his chair? If it is because you haven't seen him do so, does that not mean you're simply speaking out of ignorance, as you haven't read the comicS in question?

You asking me to prove a negative? A character doesn't have a special attribute in a forum fight without proof. In other words, you can't say a character automatically gets a special attribute just because someone can't prove they don't have it. Do you know how stupid that sounds?
If Thanos can indeed open a portal (without his chair or other non standard equipment) then you have to prove it.
