Thanos killed Controller, because he knew if he didn't, a couple more blows would have finished Controller off...

the first bit is hyperbole. he was battling thanos and TOGETHER they destroyed . . . something. the actual size of the 'planet' is unknown, as is drax's contribution to its destruction. we also have no indication it was ONLY with 'fists'. at the end, thanos is standing over drax's ko'd body (both still standing on the planet they supposedly 'destroyed' . . .) his hand glowing with power -- a pretty clear indication that there was MORE than just a physical battle taking place.
i don't know about the sun incident, so can't comment. Here is Drax meeting planet:

Here is Drax meeting another planet, and then destroying a sun:

in any event, ben grim ALSO proved to be considerably stronger than marv. and in neither of those battles, did marv's speed or flight mean much. in this fight, mar-vell's flight would be pretty meaningless as well -- he would STILL need to come into range as he-man's sword could easily handle his photonic blasts. marv could stalemate by avoiding him, but once he got in close, he-man would demolish him. even his awareness wouldn't mean much. regardless of what he knew, he would STILL have to close with he-man to end the fight, and there is no way in close he could handle he-man. He didn't show to be much stronger than Mar-Vell in that fight, and that was a Mar-Vell who wasn't as powerful.
Mar-Vell beat Ronan up pretty badly in one of his fights, and beat up about 5 robots who each one was as strong as Iron Man, and had even taken out Iron Man...
I'm not saying Mar-Vell wins either, I'm just saying what I know.
