With the exception of the fisticuffs with the Hulk, who isn't a skilled fighter, but a brute/brawler, everything you've described about Thanos was with Thanos having 4 or more stones.
Zod wasn't as powerful as Superman, as Superman had decades on Earth absorbing solar energy and adjusting to the environment while Zod had a couple of days at most. Yet Zod still took punches and HV without injury. No cuts, no bruises nothing, His hair even stayed unruffled. Kal had to snap his neck to stop him.
Thanos can, but again, that was all with the power of 4 or more infinity stones assisting him. In this matchup he has zero. It should also be noted that Thanos with 4 stones almost lost and it was ONLY due to Quinn's buttrage emotional mistake that saved him. Thanos technically lost to the group while possessing 4 stones.
Thanos also used his physicality to ward off the heroes. There was quite a bit of time when the cape cut off his access to use the stones. Everything he physically did was with his own strength and reflexes.
So I agree Zod is weaker than Superman so if she can take a headbutt and hurt him being physically weaker what’s Thanos going to do to the weaker Zod.
His neck was snapped so that proves he can be killed physically and we already see Thanos overpower the Hulk straight up. Thanos crushes him in short order. If WW can rock Superman Thanos is going to destroy Zod.
It's true that DC loves to showcase superspeed and superstrength way more than the MCU does, but in this case I think it's starting to be a detriment for them. For one, they're incredibly inconsistent with their power levels, especially superspeed. They also don't know how to power cap, so they'll end up with a hero who's extremely powerful in one movie who'll need to be nerfed down in the next just to make the story interesting.
You keep using that WW headbutt but the same exact thing happened to Thanos who took an uppercut from Cap. Head rocked back but no damage done. If you want to lowball Superman, you have to lowball Thanos
Shockwaves have happened in the MCU from punches. When Hulk punched Hulkbuster in AV2 there was a shockwave. Then Thor punched Hulk in Ragnarok there was a shockwave. Do they show shockwaves on every punch in EITHER universe? NO. Shockwaves don't mean squat.

Thanos beatdown awakened ragnarok Thor. Zod gets his neck snapped because he's a brawler. Once Thanos assesses the threat, he'll handle it hulk style, swift 6 piece, followed by neck snap.
Anyway, back to this fight. If Zod is still armored then he has a big glaring weakness in his helmet. If Thanos cracks that Zod is easily susceptible to KO. Plus Zod didn't really showcase that great speed while suited up and his skill is nowhere near what we've seen from Thanos. Basically, armored Zod is pretty much a smaller, faster Hulk with a mask weakness.
Fully powered Zod is a different story. Now he has flight, ranged attacks and better speed feats. I don't see Thanos beating that.
They slow mowed that and Thanos easily punched him down. Vision knew they couldn’t stop him so please stop. You’re embarrassing yourself. It isn’t close. WW is in Superman’s league in terms of strength Cap isn’t. Thanos overpowered the Hulk. Thanos is stronger than Superman.
Pretty pathetic. Just because Thanos got rocked by Cap, had to struggle pushing him, couldnt get through SW shields in time, was saved by Quill being an idiot and was on his knees in front of Thor. You dont have to start making things up like" it was in slow mo" face it Thanos w/o the Gauntlet is just a big brawler who didnt show any fantastic strength our speed.
WW, Aquaman and Cyborg were all pushing Superman and he wasnt even budging. He was holding WW and Aquaman w/one arm each while Cyborg was flying and pushing his chest. He was doing that while watching Flash in superspeed.
Thanos was not rocked he was just surprised by Cap’s resolve but he quickly took care of him. So? He had the time stone so he won. Synagogue looked ahead in over 14 million possible outcomes so just stop already. Thanos is the alpha here, kiddo. Thanos overpowered the Hulk in strength. I’ve said what the directors said about Thanos.
So? None of them are really strong or even in Thor’s league. WW took his headbutt and rocked him with one of her own and she’s weaker than he is. Zod dies the guy was pure failure. Joe el beat him as did kal el. Failure personified.
