He def has the edge, but The Power Sword's shown it's got quite a few options beyond cutting too.As for this fight, I see it depending on how the fight's approached by each. Thor def wins the ranged game or if both are holding back, but if they end up bloodlusted in melee I see He Man as having a literal edge for the simple reason that the Sword is a cutting weapon. So I see Thor eventually succumbing to bloodloss even if He-Man can't score something like a decapitation or dismemberment. Being a cutting weapon is basically the only reason the Executioner's Ax is considered more dangerous than the hammer after all.
It's not the best matchup for Thor, I agree. I think there's a clear disparity in overall power - in Thor's favor - but that because of how they both normally fight, that's why Adam would have a chance. He-Man doesn't really absorb energy on the level that Thor can bring without end, so if we assume optimal power use, there's literally no answer for repeated lightning attacks from range. But yes, Thor could lose if he just stays in melee and brawls. But I also don't think that's assured because of how many times He-Man has also been KOd. So, like, combine those two together and I'm happy giving Adam maybe 2/10.

If he has it's probably negligible... Plus Thor is a sponge when it comes to cutting damage.
And I know he can take a whole truckload of cutting damage before succumbing to bloodloss, but a severed head is a severed head lol. Again, I was only giving He-Man the win in one very specific type of matchup.

Oh I'm in no way saying that he has a huge edge in speed agility, just that one exists. He's done things like run on sand so fast that it turned into glass and either create or unmake(can't remember which) tornadoes through sheer speed and such lol. That's not to say that Thor doesn't have impressive speed feats too because I know he does, I just give the edge to He-Man.And I know he can take a whole truckload of cutting damage before succumbing to bloodloss, but a severed head is a severed head lol.

Wow.. That I didn't know. Sand to glass from running? Wtf?!
I may have to concede that point.
Actually IIRC he was rubbing the sand(not running) to do it. And there was another instance where, well I didn't see the full episode, and didn't have audio for the clip, so I'm honestly not positive what happened, but it SEEMED like He-Man ran around to send a city to another dimension. Unfortunately the clip Digi posted is gone, so I can't give it(when I was able to hear audio again, I tried to get the clip but it'd been removed from YouTube). Maybe Digi can get it again.
People often forget that the Power of Grayskull grants He-Man new abilities, armor, and weapons to outmatch his adversaries.
For example, when He-Man faced the Snakemen, he was granted snake busting armor that could do all this:
With this in mind, surely the Power of Grayskull would give He-Man the tools necessary to match Thor.
