Thats why everbody went to Thanos to stop the cancerverse taking over the universe and reverse the nercropsy ritual not Reed he couldn't even prep for WWH
Incorrect. Reed wasn't mentioned at all and he didn't play a pivotal role in a few infinity sagas, Thanos Imperative, or Infinity Abyss. That's just it Thanos isn't some regular schmuck like Doom or Reed he only shows up when something big happens. Reed's that guy who also failed with aid against Galactus in Galactus the Devourer. He failed despite Galactus being weakened as well.
Reed's that guy who failed against WW Hulk and his grand plan completely and utterly failed.
Thanos is that guy who saves Galactus' ass and all of reality in his own solo series. He's a much bigger fish than Reed will ever be. Thanos is the guy who all the heroes team up with when he's motivated to stop and in the end Thanos still prevails.
Thanos is the best at what he does Reed needs a team to bail him out week in and week out for years now.
Remember when the Avengers and Defenders were saving the cosmos from Dormammu, and Thanos didn't even understand what the hell was going on and was just the footsoldier schmuck busy fighting demons? Does that really mean that Avengers/Defenders >> Thanos because they saved the day and Thanos remained utterly clueless as to what happened? It was because it was an Avengers/Defenders story. Thanos just saves the day in his own stories. The fact is Reed just doesn't need Thanos and saves the universe many more times without him.
And Thanos will always be remembered for breaking down and begging in front of Galactus, while Reed just got on with the job and depowered him.
No, I don't remember any of that at all. Thanos is the centerpiece in nearly all of the stories he's in while Reed is just benefiting from having more appearances ie. more feats.
Reed has lost to Galactus before and was at his mercy in Galactus the Devourer. Reed was also beaten senseless and held prisoner in WW Hulk. Thanos saved Galactus and the 616 reality from the Hunger.
Thanos just nuked an entire universe that messed with his gal. Get back to me when Reed doesn't embarrass himself by using strobe lights to stop a brick.
Oh this little snippet where other characters were seen holding off the threat wherever they were.
This isn't the same thing as reed banding together with the others the fight didn't just resurface on his door step. Thanos met the threat in 1973 and wasn't a major player in the story, I didn't just refer to stories where Reed is in them for one panel a mere cameo.
no most if not all the reeds left their families on relatively bad terms iirc and Valeria is. at least according to her so I reserve my judgement on that
It is the same thing really, Thanos was a bit character in a bigger story fighting a major threat that he was unaware of. Like the heroes fighting the doppleganger invasion and not knowing what was really going on, while Warlock and Thanos were opposing the Magus. The Infinity stories weren't really about the heroes despite their involvement - they were about Thanos and Warlock.
The same thing happened with Cosmos in Collision. Maelstrom stood in front of Thanos and flat out insulted him, and Thanos didn't know who he was or what even happened - and that was when he had the Infinity Gauntlet. Meanwhile Quasar saved the universe and Thanos never even found out what was happening.
Thanos appeared in what year, 1973 ? Thanos wasn't even a fleshed out character at that point in time. Reed appeared and collaborated with the heroes in Infinity War. The heroes played a part and understood the situation but the major players were Thanos and Warlock.
Yes, maelstrom was an anomaly. He went on to die. He didn't do a thing to Thanos. Thanos while depowered destroyed the guy who killed him twice in cosmos in collision.
You're trying to make a false distinction and the most hilarious part is the showing took place in 1973 iirc.
There's nothing hilarious about 1973. Plenty of good feats from those days.
Like Thanos, Maelstrom kept coming back though. And Thanos killing Quasar is just ABC. Anyway the fact remains Thanos was pretty clueless in Cosmos in Collision, despite having the gauntlet. I mean he really, really seemed not to know what was going on in that sequence.
Thanos wasn't fleshed out as a character in 73 that's the point.
Maelstrom left. Thanos stood his ground. Thanos defeated Eternity while Maelstrom was defeated by the avatar of Infinity.
He wasn't sure because he was the anomaly. Thanos prevailed over his opposition Maelstrom managed to die twice. Thanos' arc encompassed the majority of marvel while Maelstrom was just a Quasar threat early on. Laughs.
That's just a bunch more meaningless ABC. And Thanos didn't so much as stand his ground as not even understand what happened. Also, Maelstrom was a threat to the whole universe, it was just that Quasar stopped him.
Anyway, I still think the Council wins. A single Reed is dangerous enough. The Council is just too much. It's almost spite with all the stuff they had.

That is the only response your post deserves.
at least according to her so I reserve my judgement on that
