if i am mistaken the night king can only die by valaryian steel or similar dragon fire weapons. also, maybe its foggy for me but doesnt he become vulnerable only when hes near one of those trees?

if thats the case then night king wins by attrition cause if thanos wipes out half the planet he can raise half the planet as an army
If Night King was invincible around the Godwood, he wouldn't have gone the way he did.

Thanos' snap also dusts people out of existence. There's nothing for the Night King left to raise.

NK has nothing in his power set, at all, that could bypass Thanos power and tech.

It's not a contest.
no one knows how durable the night king is. he isnt against tech of thanos but arrows. the night king has 1 known weakness and thats dragonglass but only that type of combo as even dragon fire cannot hurt him.

I pick Thanos

At least Thanos went down with a fight not like the Night King that got stabbed with a toy knife

Thanos would take down that army single handily with his double sword thing and armor.

Only problem would be finding the NK's weakness. If they are both allowed to use their armies then Maw would find that in no time.

If we're talking about conclusions to their arc, nearly everything having to do with Thanos was better. That bullshit from last week's episode still has me doubting they stick the landing on anything since the NK's conclusion was abrupt.

If only climate change was as easy to beat as the Night King's sorry ass.
everyone working together would reverse climate change reall fast (decades) but fast.

no. vulnerable around godwood. makes sense since he survived dragonfire.

What we've seen is what we got, and I don't see a single way the NK could even hurt Thanos especially with his tech, shields, armour, his minions with their power Maw especially.

And if he has the stones, it's even more clear.

Not a contest.

Plus Thanos is smart, if he needed to he could probably find some drsgonglass and win.

Without the Undead? Thanos.

With the Undead? Still Thanos.

Even Wong might be able to kill NK.

stones thanos beats anyone but stoneless thanos isnt tnag strong. the night king had an endless, non-tiring army. thanos army is already known to be weak against hawkeyes arrows. it really comes down to whether or not thanos has the stones cause if he does then he wins but if not, the night king will win. his white walkers are strong enough to freeze solid metal and shatter them. thats really cold. the fact he can walk off dragon fire is something else. it seems he is only vulnerable when in a place of his magic like the godwood cause thats where he was made. similar to how wow's lich king cannot be defeated unless at ice crown.

Like, it's impossible to overstate how much of a joke NK is. Dude literally wololo'd a dragon and somehow still managed to get beaten in the most stupid way possible. Up against Thanos and his genius-level intellect it'd look like someone with a spork going against a tank. He'd get his dumb ass catapulted into space.

His tech would nullify it imo. I don't see the NK being more powerful than a fully powered Thor and other people who struggled/got best by stoneless Thanos.

Nothing that he's presented shows this. No one he's up against in his own universe is like the MCU enhanced. He'd be just another monster of the week type in the MCU, the big bad of a single film.

In his own universe he has far, far less to contend with.

the tech is meaningless. hawkeye can shoot regular arrows at his army and still kill them. they die by comventional hand guns. they die by a shield being tossed. and those are done by humans who tire.

i think y'all are over estimating how powerful thanos is. he was losing so badly to wanda he called in an artilery strike on everything just so he could get away. he needed the power stone to just beat marvel. he isnt that strong, they just made iron man and thor even weaker for fan service reasons. like, lets say its just the night king vs thanos with no stones and no armies. the night king is known to freeze basically anything it touches, thanos sword would shatter because its frozen solid and so would thanos. you also have the fact the night king is comparable in speed to cap so hed have no problem keeping up. the night king also doesnt tire plus seems to be immune to anything that isnt dragonglass near a godwood. thanos is gonna lose to general fatigue. if you want to add in space armadas then its kind of a coin toss because one death = another member for the night king as his ressurection seems to not have a range or require sight of bodies to be used. given the night king only has 1 weakness, its gonna almost always be team night king. lets say his frost dragon kills one of the flying things, he now has a flying thing.

i think you guys are underestimating just how useful unlimited undead raising and immortality is.

also you guys are forgetting that thanos wouldnt consider the night king and his army as part of the 50% cause they are dead and use no resources. night king and his armies survive a snap unless thanos purposely targets them

what does that do? night king could land on another planet or whatever and take over. you guys arent even acknowledging his actual weakness or the fact thanos touching him basically leads to his hand being frozen solid.
Thanos, even without the gauntlet, is very tough. If he survived snapping the gauntlet in better condition than even Hulk did, he could absolutely withstand that amount of contact with the NK. And the chances of the NK landing on another planet are tiny... most of space is a void. He would likely drift for centuries, if not millennia.

Since when is the Night King weak to godswood?
he was created in that type of magic. he didnt really attack the tree the children of the forest were in cause undead were weak there. the fact that dragon fire causes him no harm shows you need all the materials that created him to kill him: same magic and dragon glass.

and thanos would be dead. night king lives. even the long game thanos loses.

No underestimation. NK is a regular movie boss bad guy in the MCU.

Not a debate.

This is stupid. There is no long game. Night King lands on another random planet and terrorizes it 6000 years later, great. He lost the battle to Thanos already.
is it? yall keep saying thanos would just win. thanos would losr an alien soldier to an undead and it becomes an undead. rince and repeat til entire army is undead. his army is already proven weak to even basic ass arrows. you guys then say theyll attack him with dragonglass cause thanos sure knows about night kings weaknesses. he doesnt. thanos and his army is weak to blunt intstruments. when thanos army is all converted its literally a dog pile on him til he dies.

i dont see how thanos wins. if he had the infinity stones, sure, but anyone with them wins against anyone.

Him not attacking the Children of the Forest because of some protective magic doesn't automatically mean it's because of the godswood. In the absence of the books or the show specifically telling us anything along those lines (which they don't), that's little more than an assumption. Everything north of the Neck is full of the godswood, if he were weak to that magic specifically he wouldn't march south at all. Hell, he wouldn't even be able to exist beyond the Wall, because that area is teeming with weirwoods.

Not to mention the fact that he eventually did end up attacking the Children of the Forest and he absolutely decimated them (and the Three Eyed Raven), so I'd chalk him not attacking them earlier up to one of three things. Either he didn't know where to find them (the Three Eyed Raven specifically told Bran that he could find them now because he'd marked Bran), or he had been waiting while he was amassing his armies, or it was just a matter of television convenience.

Thanos had the personality. I want to say the Night King had a better Army but that may just be because dragons aside the army of the dead was fighting a bunch of people with swords and not server heroes.

However if the Night King can pull some of his fuckery on Dead Heroes we might be getting somewhere.

the skeletons die when they entered the tree. bran being marked allowed him entry.
