The only time I remember Asgard almost being destroyed was when Loki freed Surtur.Surtur almost melted all of Asgard and even burned the Asgardians that fought him that included Thor.The Asgardians even used a freeze gun to no avail.And Thor himself has withstood the gem of infinite suns.Yet Surtur burned him as well.The only one who stopped Surtur was Odin himself.The other time Surtur almost destroyed Asgard was when he finished making twilight by destroying Beta Ray Bill's Galaxy.He easily took out Heimdall.And literally out powered Thor.He faced an Odin who was using his scepter.Even froze Odin by tapping into the power of the casket of ancient winters.Easily defeated Loki.Then faced the combined effort of Odin,Thor, and Loki.Has Thanos displayed the power to destroy a Galaxy?

Does it really matter, about the use of Gungnir? Gungnir does not add power to Odin. It has been described in different ways, such as being part of Odin, having some of Odin's power, and/or a way of focusing his power.But, it has not been stated that it adds. So, this is Odin's power. Period.
In addition...
Odin had just gotten done taking some hits, including a blast from the Silver Surfer, where he returned fire, putting Surfer on his a**.
Thanos sat on the side, watching until the battle had progressed a bit, then came in "fresh".
Obviously, from the statements made, Odin did not think Thanos would be able to stand up to his initial volley. To the credit of Thanos.
But, it also shows that Odin probably was not going all out, at least until he was pissed and ready to pronounce judgement. And, even then, it wasn't because he was in danger from Thanos.
Thanos knew Odin's power and even made that statement when he recognized that Odin was surprised when Thanos was still standing after the first blasts.
Remember, he thought that Thor was in danger. So, pulling out Gungnir and wanting to end the fight quicker, probably didn't seem like overkill. Just economical.
But, the point is, it was always Odin's power.
You could equate Gungnir for Odin, to that Stasis Field for Thanos.
Just one of their tools.
Thanos fanboys don't like admitting when he'd lose, so they make stuff up and ignore feats..it's just what they do.

Wurd.I don't really care either way, tbh. Just found it very strange...
Of course it's strange.. because it's illogical... Odin is dumb enough to make a magical weapon that does nothing for him... and is even dumb enough to call a magical weaspon by his side that does nothing for him... I guess I gave him too much credit.

It has never been said to amp his power.
Deal with it.

The scan is right there man, it's an extension of him, you're coming off butthurt here. Whatever, I'll humor you: The spear was designed to never miss it's mark when thrown but other than that, no, there seems to be no other benefit for Odin. Aside from making him look more badass.Gungnir in one of it's various incarnations, seems to have some inherent power as seen in the Initiative Siege tie-in when Mr. X stole it but it might very well be residual Odin power.
On a side note, Odin has had new weapons forged or simply materialized them off panel apparently. They've been lost more than once and Odin appears with a similar weapon later on like nothing happened. Although I think he might have conjured up the Scepter in the battle with Surtur.
Does that make logical sense though Rage, I mean honestly, Does it? He makes a weapon that does NOTHING for him... then calls said weapon to battle that does nothing for him.. and you think that fits nicely? It's devoid of common sense Rage, and you knew it. Even before you argued that it focus his power (which I can find the quote) and now you're saying it does nothing...
Then you go on to say... it has been shown having its own power... but maybe that was Odin left over power... which is it? If it's the former, then doesn't that mean it surely does something?

Yes, but from what others have said, Asgardians ride around on normal horses when it makes no sense....chalk it up to artisitc licence to make things look more bad-ass?
