You never answered how Thanos survives being booted into a black hole/the core of a star/another dimension, etc. All of these are things that Odin could do to him, as he has done them to other beings in the past.
And eh, semantics don't work here, bro. Regardless of the moniker you're placing on the space stone's housing, it was used to create a portal that allowed the chitauri and Loki to invade New York. This was done by Dr. Selvig, a simple Earthling scientist. Thor has stated many times that magic is simply more advanced technology, and that Earth's technology is a primitive form of magic.
Are you really under the assumption that Odin himself couldn't use an infinity stone, when the likes of the GotG were able to wield one?
Something else I find amusing is that you keep saying the Tesseract is not a "device" made to use the stone. So... What, are you saying that Ronin's hammer was a device? Lmao, Ronin wasn't strong enough to wield it directly, like Thanos(who is much weaker than Odin btw), so he put it in his weapon. Thanos is strong enough to wield a stone by himself, and Thanos in base is canonically weaker than Odin. So Odin would wield a single stone even easier than Thanos did, lol. And who said Odin couldn't just put it in his staff or scepter or something, and then use it to warp Thanos away through a portal? Lmao, there are so many things you're assuming here, and it just doesn't make sense.
Odin uses either his own power, or the Tesseract(not really necessary) by putting it in a staff, and warps Thanos into a sun. Thanos has no way to survive, and is melted inside of the star, which also ends up dissolving the power stone along with it(I mean come on, Wanda destroyed the mind stone and she certainly isn't outputting as much power as the sun).
Odin wins, no matter how you look at it. Unless you don't look at it at all, and just ignore the feats, statements, etc. in favor of a specific character.
