>You missed this part where you can see that she blocked his punch and hits him twice instead. You need to slow it down for proper viewing, and you can also hear the sound of blcoking which is different from the sound of swinging a punch that missed.
That's not a block, that her diverting Thanos's punch by pushing at his arm - blockinbg it would be to take it out right. Redirecting a punch is far easier than taking it outright - it doesn't prove that she is massively superior to him as you claim.
>Then she goes for the IG where Thanos grabs her arm and swings her away. You don't need higher AP to do that, just lifting strength enough to lift that character.
Thanos was able to force her to spin around with him agaisnt her wishes and made her hit the ground and bounce away like a stone on a lake. He then is able to put on the Gauntlet, deal with the affects of absorbing all of that power, and go in for the snap before she makes it back to him.
If she was completely uneffected from his physical strength becasuse she is so much stronger than he is, then why didn't she instantly blast him away? The only logical conclusion is that she was stunned momentarily because his strength can effect her.
>All in all, she landed a few good blows on Thanos, even excluding the one kick from behind. She blocked one of Thanos' punch pretty easily. Dodging =/= being weaker. All of it proves that she had an upper hand. Thanos wasn't even able to phase her while her hits were able to stagger him showing much greater effect.
Captain Marvel
did got few punches and energy blasts at point-blank range in. That is the thing though.
Depsite her hitting him numerous times, Thanos was able to instantly shake it off and seemed to treat them more like a nuisance, instead of a threat. If Captain Marvel is so much stronger than him, then why wasn't he on the ground in agony from taking all of her attacks directly to the face, like he did with Wanda?
Thanos made two punches. She dodged the first and then she redirected the second while moving out of the way. Redirecting isn't blocking and redirecting a punch doesn't show physical superiority in the slightest. Thanos being able to take all of her attacks and brush them off while continuing to fight shows that her attacks aren't that strong, that she isn't leagues above him as you suggest.
All that this proves is that she utlized her strengths in battle (her speed and Thanos being unaware of her presence at the time), it doesn't showcase her having the strength advantage.
The rest of your post talks about the moment where she grabs the gauntlet and pushes Thanos to the ground, which isn't the part of the fight that I said she was implied to be relatively even with Thanos.
Thanos and Marvel had like two six-second interactions - their fight in where they exchanged blows, and the moment where Captain Marvel grabs the gauntlet.
In their first interaction - the fight. They are portray like this: Captain Marvel is faster - dodging Thanos's punches and retailing appropriately with her own attacks - while Thanos is physically stronger - taking all of her attacks and brushing them aside while trying to land his own, and being able to physically stop her punch and throw her into the dirt.
In their second interaction - Captain Marvel is portayed as being far above Thanos. She grabs onto the gauntlet and is physically strong enough to pry his fingers open, take his headbutt without flinching, make Thanos scream in pain and push him to the ground with one hand, forcing him to use the Power Stone to one-shot her.
These are wildly different showcases of strength, and Captain Marvel's strength is quite inconsistent because of it.
