I won't lowball the feat, it was a nice accomplishment and shows that Thanos is powerful no doubt. Then he tried his dark magic mind whammy trick as well which was sweet. But in the grand scheme of things Thanos did about as well as Odin, the Sphinx or any other Skyfather level type that tried to step to Galan. Impressive, but ultimately futile to superior competition like Galactus and full powered Tyrant, who was maybe a tick below him.
Sky Father? Not quite. Close but not quite. My reasoning, is how well he did against a true Sky Father (Odin), Zeus would do far better against Odin. Likely well enough, that they could battle for an age. Seth is another one that gave Odin a better fight. Thanos is clearly mid to high trans. I understand that he can't die, but neither can Lobo, or Mr. Immortal. I'm not sure how far you can push this Avatar of Death title, because it has yet to prove anything other than Thanos reps Death, and I have yet to see how it has made him any more physically dominant than he was during his battle with the incomplete Tyrant.
What I said was not a low ball, but more of an analogy. Galactus was not the size of a planet, and at the size that he was at, many metas would be able to throw him. The Thing for example did so in the past, and Galactus looked even bigger then, than when he was when Thanos punched the crap him. See the difference?
