thanos runs a punching gauntlet

The power gem wasn't emphasized really anywhere. I read the story several times and don't recall the power gem being emphasized anywhere near the degree you making it out to be. Some parts you named are ambiguous or hypebole. It is clear that Thor was amped. But it wasn't clear to how much he was amped. Thor had no strength feats that showed he was above his normal self. The only feat that comes to mind (not a strength feat though) is when Thor used the gem to turn Warlock's and Strange power back at them.

IMO Thor without the power gem could have done the same things (except the Strange and Warlock feat). What made Thor more dangerous was not him having the power gem but the fact that he wasn't holding back anymore and was blood lusted.

Are you kidding me.. .THE CLEAR PRESENTATION of the comic makes it CLEAR what the writer was trying to convey. He was conveying that the PG significantly amped Thor. PERIOD. All the lines used to emphasize this point weren't mistakes, they were intentinoally and correctly put in there to make it clear he was amped a lot. He has fought SS on even ground before.. yet now he was able to take down Surfer AND company with ease... yet wasn't that amped.. Give me a break. H1a8, you opinion doesn't come close to comparing to the writer of the comic right? Thus you dismissing LINE AFTER LINE, as in your opinion being all hyperbole is amusing.

The other point that is crystal clear is his other durability feats that make the planet one all the more valid. The black hole feat you mention. Surviving blasts from pissed off Abstract level power beings in Galactus and Omega. Taking on Tyrant who is beyond Skyfather. Absorbing the energy from the ROT which made the universe scream with no ill effect. Being at ground zero for multiple planet exploding. Being at the nexus of reality which was pulling him in all directions. It was made clear because it was Thanos he was able to survive. These are just some examples that happen on the regular for Thanos.

Horseshit, Thor took a full two handed blast from Thanos with no effect, yet a weaker Thanos rocked Thor with a single eye beam, do you think Thor could beat down Surfer,Strange, and the Infinity watch without the power gem.

In comics you have low showings and high ones. Your logic about Thor taking Thanos blasts could be a high showing or the one where Thor is rocked could be a low showing. Thor has taken beams from Celestials, Destroyer, etc. It's not far fetched that he could take one from Thanos. It's all about writer's intentions anyway. No where did the writer mention Thor was taken Thanos blasts because of his power gem. I'm not sure if the power gem adds durability either.

Galactus and Omega are not Abstract level beings. Only Galactus at full power is arguably at Abstract level. But Galactus is never at full power.

I didn't claim the planet feat is PIS. I was saying the feat is nothing compared to many others. Thanos received less than a billionth of the total force of the exploding planet. If a planet destroying punch (by SBP etc.) was to hit Thanos concentrated in one spot then Thanos would be in some serious trouble.

Energy projection durability is not the same as physical blunt force durability. So that ABC logic fails as well as other ABC logic.

There was no LINE after LINE. There is hardly ANYTHING. I got the balls to say this because I read and have the freaking comic (the real paper comic, not any torrents).

No the comic doesn't convey that Thor was significantly amped. This is because significantly to ME is at least 5x. Significantly to another could be 200% more (or 2x). I'm not claiming that Thor didn't receive an amp. I'm just saying it wasn't clear to how much of an amp he had. For the sake of argument I give Thor 2x more power with the amp. You or no one else can't prove to me it was more than that.
