Eros did comment during the IG series that he saw Wolverine as the least likely in being effective during the attack against Thanos before he plummeted his claws into his chest.

Warlock is the only being who can wield the soul gem properly. The soul gem has vampiristic tendencies. It sucks the juice out of anyone who uses it. Warlock has an affinity to all the gems, not just the soul gem.Like this:
Thanos with the IG = Kid with a Machine Gun
Warlock with the IG = Navy Seal with a Machine Gun
Actually, wasn't the purpose of that judgement trial after he first got IG was that he was unsuited for it unlike Thanos? He is experienced with the soul gem, but I wouldn't equate him being the best with the IG. He is the cause of the Infinity War and Crusade when he subconsciously (accidentally caused...) Goddess and Magus to manifest.
Warlock survived a similar blast like that. No shield whatsoever. It floored him, but he got back up faster than the Kryptonian did.
In regards to the pic. you provided, I actually got the impression that he did somehow evade that attack and not take the full brunt of it. In the same series, he was blasted down by the likes of Kang and Doom and it's pretty safe to assume
Galactus' blast > Kang or Doom

Warlock wanted to be supreme being after he got the IG (he mentioned something to the heroes that there was a new supreme being that could be trusted, or something like that) so there was a trial to see if he was fit to wield the IG, that and Eternity wanted the gems.
There was no trial for Thanos because he only wanted to replace Eternity (not a cosmic crime, by Tribuna'ls standards).

Warlock and Thanos had the same goal.
Eternity, however, decided to attack Warlock's past and accuse him of being to unstable to wield the IG. Bringing up the HIVE, Warlock as HE, the Magus, etc.
LT agreed Warlock was too unstable minded to posses the IG.

The Living Tribunal would have known about Thanos' past as well but no judgement was made about his ability to wield the IG because replacing Eternity wasnt a cosmic crime.

Well, actually yes. But it was more of arguments made from the facts at hand by Eternity, rather than just having facts. Eternity's argument was the reason.
Thanos was actually born from parents. Warlock was an experiment among other problems that Eternity brought up.
Both wanted to be Supreme Being, replacing Eternity. With Warlock however, Eternity argued Warlock to be unstable and could pose a threat to existence. Anyways, that was Eternity's argument.
5th Shot Thanos takes, against Gungnir this time
