Anyone who read the most recent Avengers Assemble would be a fool to say that Thanos wins or stalemates in this thread .
Zeus stomps , hard .
Why- I know Bendis made him Job in the final battle, but he wasn't actually defeated by the avengers, and they were like 20 of them, but he was only defeated when the Elders of the Universe came up. And earlier on Thanos destroyed an abstract with a blast which made the universe scream. Furthermore, I think its unfair to disregard all of Thanos' feats based on one bad showing.
Me and Bendis will have words though
They beat him in a sequential manner . Even Groot got a few good hits in . Wasn't defeated you say ? You're basing this off of Thanos' own defiant "Don't think you have defeated me . I am Thanos" proclamation , aren't you . He was left bloody and with a missing tooth , and he was beaten in such a humiliating manner that one of the Avengers(Hawkeye if I recall) told him that he was done when Thanos got all defiant and feisty .
Anyone who tries to actually spin that low showing is a butthurt quanchi .

I think the point was not that Thanos jobbed but that he has actually been retconned and it wasnt one defeat, but most of his feat, in we see in on the light that we was retconned would make more sense.
1. Thanos used Hulk to fight Avengers, while Thanos before this was more than powerful enough to easily handle the avengers with absolutely no problem. We could however still chuck that under him using an easier method.
2. Thanos was clearly warped by the cosmic cube, not to mention a man-made cosmic cube, against his wishes, when Thanos every since Thanos Quest 02 has been virtually immune to molecule manipulation.
3. Not that Thanos was defeated by the fact that guys like Thor and silver surfer failed to hurt him in the earlier instance while Groot, a f@#$ing tree managed to hurt him.
4. To really drag it, Thanos needed cosmic cube to actually defeat the elder of the universe, that also only BFR them, when Thanos during his mini defeated Kosmos, a high level cosmic cube entity, who should be more powerful than the elders (expect In Betweener that is)
Also you are comparing Thanos's feat from Avengers Celestial Quest (2002) to show he is still powerful despite his apparent retcon in Avengers Assemble (2012).
Its just sad really, after Jim Starlin left Thanos power level went straight downhill, all to make him fit the movie version of up-coming avengers.
It is really sad tbh . First it was Thor , now it appears a similar fate awaits Thanos , especially when you consider that Bendis is going to be taking over the Cosmic department of Marvel when he begins writing GoTG .
Avengers Assemble is basically Marvel getting back at Starlin for his lawsuit . What better way to get back at Starlin than completely downgrading his star character ?
