Moondragon called her pop an idiot because Thanos was the only one who could free Galactus, who in turn was the only one who could stop annihilus.

I'm wondering if she just meant beat Annihilus overall - Annihilus, and the wave etc, - stop his entire plan. Not just Annihilus as an individual.
When Thanos has moondragon use telepathy to scan annihilus' thoughts, thanos starts shitting bricks because he realizes that annihilus plans to turn Galactus into a bomb to destroy the negative zone as well as the marvel universe proper. At that point, Thanos pretty much confirms that he's powerless to stop annihilus at this point, and that the only way to avert total disaster was to free Galactus.
That's why Thanos doesn't even turn around or blink an eye as drax is approaching him. People complain that Thanos was cheap-shotted by drax, but you have to remember that Thanos wasn't even trying to fully defend himself. He was so concerned about freeing Galactus before Annihilus would find out his betrayal that all he did was put up a force-field as an after-thought while he tried to free big G. Drax, growing more powerful as he grew closer to Thanos, ripped through everything and killed thanos before Big G was freed. That's why moondragon was lamenting and telling drax that he had just doomed them all, as thanos was the only one who could free big G.
and two issues later big G makes a gesture and obliterates annihilus' wave. nearly annihilus himself as well.
