Problem is, why didn't Eternity try to stop Thor beforehand. Because comic characters sometimes have the intelligence of the writer himself.
It was actually by the
second. My bad, but good for Thor.
Eternity's moment was just the writer indicating to us just how powerful Thor would become.
He's not going to have Eternity step in at that instant cause we got a story to read/enjoy.
Originally posted by h1a8 Thor was becoming more powerful while inside the block because he was trying to get out.
But
Outside the block I can agree he was getting more powerful but very very slowly.
We know this because of his fights. He had the gem for a good amount of time and didn't seem anymore powerful than when he first got the gem.
Don't recall Thanos constricting his statement to Thor getting out of the block.
In fact, I'm almost certain Thanos was referring to Thor in general.
It just so happened to be, that Thanos was able to analyze Thor in his brief time within the block.

Can't say, there's no allusion to the specifics, but whatever it was, it was, per second.
Originally posted by h1a8 Anyway, Thor was getting more powerful. So the key to winning is beating him before it's too late (just like Hulk).
Interesting. I'm not sure it's that cut and dry.
You see, once the PG is in his use, even at base levels, his power is already ridiculous.
Also, Thor didn't just acquire super-strength and durability, the PG offers many goodies.
Thor was able to withstand and reverse a karmic soul attack by Warlock's Infinity Gem, combined with a mystic psychic blast, by Dr Strange.
And they weren't holding back. (literally stated)
Thor also simultaneously one-shot Silver Surfer-Drax & Pip. (space Gem)
I can't see "Hulk" capable of such.
