One punch took the fight out of him completely (Dude look wrecked imo) and Warbird's statement, plus the entire scene was intended to convey the apparent superiority of the Gods.
Lol what? Jane was rocked true, but she was fine. She took that hit way better than Gladiator did by the looks of it. Where the hell did you get the idea that she couldn't stand?
Jane Thor didn't just take on someone that hit kind of like Odin, she took on Odin himself a few issues ago and did waaaaaaaay better than Gladiator did here.
Gladiator was casually dismissed. The same would happen if he stood up against multiple enemies that Thor has faced under Aaron alone such as Odin or the God Butcher Gorr.
Now don't me wrong, they looked superior to Thor here too by blocking the lighting and rocking her but, and this is entirely subjective, I got the sense that Jane Thor could actually challenge these beings. Gladiator needs their permission to pee. Hopefully he gets more respect though. It's interesting to see how this will play out.
I'm saying THEY for a reason. THEY attacked a Gladiator that wasn't fighting back and the initial attack was a sneak attack.

She punched Jane once and took her out of the fight. Of course she would look better if Gladiator is allowing the pounding and not even attempting to fight back. Jane tried to fight back and was taken out in a single hit. That's the difference between these showings. I know you want She Thor to look good but you don't have to try and make another character look bad because of it.
