If the annihilators fought all at once then it would have been a different thing. Thanos fighting them one at a time is not a good feat. It just shows that he can beat them individually one on one, nothing more. Whether Thanos could have killed them or not is irrelevant since HE BEAT THEM FOR A WIN.
ABC logic doesn't fly here. Gladiator has the strength, punching power, speed, reflexes, and mobility to beat the brakes off of Thanos. That's why the writer had Gladiator being just as powerful as Thanos. Yes Thanos fear counts towards Gladiator's power level. It proves that if Thanos would have fought Gladiator then it would have been a tough and rough fight for Thanos. Otherwise, SA Mangog isn't shit since he hasn't shown to be shit.
It is still a destination. A boulder is also a destination. He would not do this in a comic against a prominent character because of financial reasons. This should be very easy for anyone to realize. What you have to come to realize is that Gladiator was helpless in that situation, and was sent to where Thanos willed him to go. This could have been inside a boulder, or any other object that would have fused his molecules to it, and effectively killed him. Look in the mirror, and say that Gladiator was helpless, because he was.
That's right we don't know how fast he was going, so you can not prove that he was not using grade A speed. We do know that he was excited by the idea of testing his power against Thanos, so we know that he was not taking his time to reach him. Thanos was simply fast enough to send him to the outermost reaches of space. Again that is also a destination, just like the boulder or the core of a planet would also be a destination.
The Annihilators fought him separately because for one Ikon was already dealt with, and Ronan was hesitant because he feared the Pimp Hand. Quasar would have been cubed up. In fact Thanos showed the speed in that conflict that he could have trapped them all in cubes, and let them out one at a time. He did not do this, because as context suggested, he wanted to test himself against them. He fought the fight the way that he deemed fit, and there was not one instance that he was not in control of that entire team. I won't say anything that was not on panel, but Thanos stomped them, and he did it with ease. Again, he could have cubed them all up, and defeated him with ease, if you want to change the situation up. Instead of sending Gladiator away, he could have placed him in a cube.
Besides the comment that Thanos made, it does not somehow offset the track record that Gladiator has had in the past, and he is not on the level that he would win against Thanos. He could have made things more difficult, if Thanos allowed him to stay, but that only means that he would be fighting Gladiator, and Beta Ray Bill at the same time (hefty duo for many characters TBH). He chose to keep the advantage on his side of the field, and thus sent Gladiator away. Like I said Gladiator has fought evenly against Black Bolt, and Thanos stomped Black Bolt. In this case ABC logic is more credible than your claims of Gladiator's superiority over Thanos. We have to look at track record, because I would never hire a person that stole from nearly every person that they worked for, nor would I choose a guy that gets beaten so often, over a guy that rarely ever loses, and becomes the supreme being on most of his outings.
