I stated that her moving even 100th of the earth's weight would make that feat physically better than most of the other tops tiers feats. Even if she had help. Just 100th puts her in the Billions of Tons range. I used the direct combat tactic just as you. as it seems. you get to use thanos' direct combat tactics to prove his strength, but I dont' get to use diana beating a daxamite, Breaking superman's ribs, and stalemating captain marvel in mine. shame on you for being so obvious and blatantly biased. If you had any observation, you would know that i'm only playing the show me the feats card becuz you have played that game with me many times when it comes to diana, but when it comes to thanos, he needs no such feats.
1- And here lies the essence of your problem. If she had backup of others in the mentioned strength feats, she couldnt have done them " on her own". Im talking about the Spectre/Moon/Earth feats respectivally.
2- And where did i said it didnt? I didnt mentioned that feat because she earned that one.
3- And that still gets merked and hurt by top tier punches. Durability showings fluctuate. Strength as well.
4- It doesnt. Because other top tiers like, Hulk, Thor and Herc have generated planet shaking strength as well. Using Superman who has done it (altho with a sundip, in the one i recall) you already have 4 top tiers who did that level of feat.
There arent that many "top tiers" for you to claim WW, is above almost anyone else.
5- You still close the eyes for the evidence. Lets use all direct combat showings shall wee?
Why is Thanos stronger than top tier level? Because he can stand an assault that has three top tiers, and have someone bailed them out while stating he was doing the equivalent to a routine workout. Did he use anything else than strength in that one? No. No blasts. No figthing skills that we saw or that it was stated on panel. Other than Brawling.

Wonder Woman vs Superman. Why i dont give this direct matchup, in strength only, the rep i give to Thanos? Because in both close matchups she had (The Doomsday Superman and the mind controlled Superman) she didnt just used strength to defeat Superman. In the first matchup, she plainly stated fear on his strength. What happened? She ended up relying on gear (lasso) for the win. Yes, she broke his ribs. Kudos for that. She deservs it. But what downplays her its her admiting he was stronger and showing it by relying on the lasso.
Check.
Second matchup. They started trading punches rather evenly. And again what happened? He breaks her wrists and she ends up relying on what again? Yeah. The only problem i have (if you even call it a problem) its that both matchups dont show her as an equal, but rather someone who is close and uses her stuff to get the win.
Check.
Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel. Why doesnt she deserve the same props that Superman does when matching Marvel? She ended relying on her lasso for the win. This one isent much of a problem, since they locked arms for some moments, but again, the lasso. What is common in all those? She ends up relying on something else than strength. This isent a diservice to WW by saying shes not nearly as strong or that she didnt win. She is close. But the other guys when figthing each other, equal themselves with usually JUST strength. WW on the other hand, does the other way around. Usually she doesnt just lock arms and look equal, she looks like it by using other things other than strength.
This subject its about strength only.
Check.
6- Your last line its crappy. Everyone has feats and Thanos have them. He beats top tiers. He beats heralds. A planet was even destrpyed when lThanos was locking arms with Drax and that was pre powerup. Lifting feats alone arent the bible. If you have them, cool. But when one character doesnt, what else are you going to use?
In the end it comes to this essential question. How do you rate Doomsday, and why?
