At that point in time, (the Dr, Strange & Team incident) Thor was indeed subconsciously tapping from the Power Gem as seen on panel, but this again was not Thor tapping from the Gem on an active level. Drax tapped into the Gem subconsciously as well, and with a playful tap sent the Hulk flying into a building, or house. This does not mean that every second that Drax had the Gem, that he was tapping into it actively. If Thanos or Warlock had the Power Gem, they could actively walk around 100% of the time at above Abstract physical levels (minus LT). There has to be rules enforced when speaking about the Power Gem, and it's immense levels, or the implications, of those capable of taking on a wielder becomes pure PIS.
Let me show you what the Power Gem allows it's wielder to become.
Power Gem
Power Gem - Red: Accesses all power and energy that ever has or will exist, and can back the other gems and boost their effects. Allows the user to duplicate almost any physical superhuman ability and become invincible.
This is why I am against the idea of Thor using the Gem at all during his battle with Thanos.
These scenarios still stand, and can not be overturned, due to fan base, or hate of a particular character. I am not willing to lie, in order to place or take away from any fictional character, we all saw Thanos' physical limits, and the limits of his force blocks when he went up against Odin.
These are the scenarios, and everyone has the right to challenge the battle between Thanos vs Thor
My take on things is this, Thor may not have been tapping into the Power gem during the fight with Thanos, and what we saw was Thanos fighting just a regular pissed off thor, that was unwilling to hold back.
OR
What we saw was Thanos fighting Thor, and being hit with the entire force of the Power Gem, because as I just stated, there is no such thing as a percentage of infinity, it is either infinity or not infinity, you can't have it both ways. Hence if Thor was hitting him while tapping the Power Gem, it means that Thanos was tanking blows that would crush any Abstract under the LT, despite Thor's inability to break free of the force cube. Hello... So now you see why I am against the showing. It's not to shit on Thanos, but I just think that it was horrible writing, or that Thor was not tapping into the infinite might that the Gem would give him.

It is up to choice, but what I saw Thor do while facing Nul, and being willing to kill, is what we saw when he fought Thanos. This is my stance, and it will be very difficult to change my opinion on the matter. Wave your fingers, insult me, do whatever it is that you want, but until solid proof is brought to bear that Thor was using the Gem before being locked in stasis, Thor was not using the Power gem, or he would have ripped out of Thanos' force block the instance that it engulfed him.

We should be clear though... thor was not operating at base levels... In fact, it was mentioned a few times he was in warrior madness mode but people VERY familiar with Thor. It was later revealed it wasn't TRUE WM mode.. but we should still view it as quasi wm mode or Thor not holding back and really letting loose. That is the least we should call it, not base level Thor.
I agree that Thor was not holding back and was trying to kill Thanos, but not while using the Power Gem, he was doing this under his own power.
As for this thread, Thanos' showing against Thor while not holding back showed that he was handling him like Thor would handle Mr. Hyde.
With Hercules as a teammate, I can see Thanos having difficulty taking this and he would be pressed to defeat this team without tech.
Thanos FTW 7/10 with tech
Stalemate without tech.
This is how I see it without low-balling and taking everyone's powers into account.
