Stop being stupid, stop being stupid, stop being stupid? What the hell?
It makes sense that the Sentry wants to weaken himself, because he knows that there is the possibility that he could lose the control over his powers. He said that before he entered the battle and it's what happened during the fight with the Hulk.
It's easier for the Avengers to take down an opponent who is already weakened, than have to deal with someone who is physically perfectly fine, FFS.
I didn't pay attention at much of the further text, because it's plain old bullshit. You only looked at the pictures of the comic, the way men "read" the Playboy.

Quanchi levels, heh. Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you. Also, "deal with me"? Oh no, please don't insult me, I can't handle that.
If you don't like my tone, then I didn't like yours to begin with. That's the problem here.
The difference is that you come in with ridiculous assumptions and act like you would have a clue about the Sentry and that fight during the WW Hulk arc. And you don't.

So, when Sentry unleashed his full power, that's actually him getting weaker because his minds not right?
Is. This. A. Joke.
You. Are. A. Joke.
The fact still applies that Sentry is a freakin' hero who saved millions of people.

^ Read the freakin' third panel. He does what's right and in that instance he rather causes environmental damage in millions than risking the lives of the people around him. And now you actually believe that he risks the lives of all the people around him and the people in the city, if they're still not evacuated, just to unleash his power on purpose..? Don't be stupid. Think about it. Comics have more depth than your usual lecture.

Sentry thought he was playing God in the Hulk fight. He thought he was doing the right thing. That's why he unleashed all that power. He wasn't unstable. He was perfectly fine during that fight. One of the only times. He just didn't care about damage like he hasn't in many fights. He was scared of cutting loose, and when he did cut loose, he loved it.
Sentry hates it to play God. It's one of the reasons why he always held back his powers, because he knew that he would have to do the same thing for everyone else.

^ He knows what his doctor wants from him and he refuses at the beginning, but in the end he still heals his daughter from her illness.

^ Here he seems to care about damage to the planet and when Photon teleports them to a microverse, he destroys more than just a planet. Ouuu, there goes your argument :-(
And yes, Sentry was more than just unstable. Actually staying for nearly 2 days in front of his door, not being able to leave and save the world. That is actually pretty unstable and while he is unstable, his power level is low.
So now you have a Sentry who CLEARLY HAD MENTAL PROBLEMS as shown before the fight in WW Hulk #5 and then you have a Sentry without any hint of mental problems, who destroys planets while holding back.
Oh :-( Who is right in this one, once again? Some bob who doesn't pay attention at the comics he / she / it is reading, or the guy who considers himself as the Sentry expert nummero uno, because Sentry is his favorite character?
Since I can separate between logic and biasm towards a character, I would say I'm the one who is right.

Actually, I'd like to see a scan where it says Sentry gets weaker depending on him being unstable. It must be pretty common knowledge, so I'm sure this isn't much to ask for.
I did all that ... I did all that ...

^ Black box: "When stable he has the potential for virtually limitless power described as equal to one million exploding suns; however, if his mental state wavers, he becomes weaker and easier to defeat."
So you have a Sentry who was clear minded and very powerful, breaking cosmic weapons in axe and who was mentally so clear, that the Void didn't have a chance to take over and had to manifest himself as a separate entity.
When Sentry had mental issues, his power level sank, his mental defenses got weaker and the Void was able to take over. That's where Sentry's eyes became black and he was doing bad stuff.
So you have a Sentry who is so powerful, that he beats the shit out of the Void physically and leaves him no chance and then you have a Sentry who is mentally unstable, if he has a very bad day and ... yeah.

In Sentry's fight with Photon they were destroying planets while Captain America was 50 feet away from them? Not to mention they didn't actually show them destroying planets... but it did say they put out enough to shred entire worlds, not that they were.
It doesn't matter what you think - it's what was there on the panel.
The entire mesa under Captain America was collapsing and he was buried under the rocks. Photon teleported him away and then you saw Photon and Sentry releasing more energy and Sentry's energy outreaching the microverse.
Judging by your logic, Thor wouldn't have even one single speed feat, like for example where he dodges a light speed attack at a close range. The narration says it. We don't see much of it, but it's still a valid feat for him, even though it's years and years and years old.
And back to the Sentry:
Even when he was in an unstable mindset, he managed to stalemate the Collective for a while, who empowered Ms. Marvel to become Binary and then EASILY took her down. And Binary is a planet buster as well :-7

Plus, when they almost killed Cap with falling rocks, Sentry was the one that didn't care about Cap, and Photon BFR'ed Cap so he didn't kill him. What a stable mindset Sentry was in, amirite? The guy was putting out all this energy while Cap was running around dodging it. What a stable guy.
Sentry was still holding back?
Sentry is super fast and can teleport too?
Sentry can heal and resurrect people?
But besides that, his stability doesn't have to do much with his morals. Once again, he is neither Superman, nor Silver Surfer. I would also kill off Captain America for the sake of the greater good, since he is just a peak human, while there are heroes who are vastly more powerful and can achieve far more.

Then you have Sentry's fight with Void where no collateral damage was caused (let alone whole worlds getting shredded), and you realize that the Photon fight was a one off feat, not the normal. Unless you think that Sentry always holds back more than the Photon fight.
Photon is neither Spider-Man, nor Captain America, nor Iron Man, nor the She-Hulk, nor Ares, nor Wolverine, nor Green Goblin and so on, and so on.
Do you see the difference? Marvel is full of weaker heroes than the DC side has them. What's Sentry supposed to do?
But hey, the Sentry said it better than I could ever do:
"You could kill rip Spider-Man's arms off. You could kill Captain America".
Yes, Sentry holds back.

Sentry and Photon's fight in your words shred entire worlds while holding back. This is what you think.
Before I continue reading it, I would like to point out, that I think that the Sentry holds up with Genis-Vell in energy projection and manipulation, when he is fairly stable.
