X is just that good, knows extraterrestial martial arts and his telepathy allows him to anticipate every move.
Taskmaster jobbing = his showings against Deadpool.
Because Taskmaster can fast forward to meta speeds.
Even if X is that good, he was dropped way too easily relative to everyone else X has fought, like Logan.

It does, but Thor has a plethora of options that he uses once every few years.
Also, for me, it completely takes me out of the story when the entire universe is at stake and a hero doesn't use their best abilities or their full power.
He could rain lightning down across the planet or simply bfr just the symbiote in a couple seconds but instead he breaks his jaw and just walks away like a dumbass
Yes.
We already talked about this, for fuck's sake:

So there you go. No way that ability could've been shoehorned there then, as it simply didn't exist.
And that trick wasn't used outside of that one mini-series, anyway.
