It feels like if he is not performing at his maximum, you will always try to dismiss the feats. At some point, you're going to have to admit that Sentry operates at that level because of who he is. The same way we can't go into Flash V.S. threads spewing how he can speed steal or destroy the very universe itself.
Death Seed Sentry was the Sentry at his best. Sentry at his best is powerful enough to beat Thor simply by flying with him in a straight line. He is powerful enough to oneshot him without even trying. He is powerful enough to mirror the combined power of a bunch of high heralds and then some. Sentry at his best would slap Thors, Hulks, Silver Surfers, Supermans, Wonder Womans and Black Adams heads off clean.
But that was Death Seed Sentry. An outside artifact which had to free the Sentry first and allow him to tap into his imaginary, yet very real power maximum. Death Seed Sentry is not the standard Sentry. Standard Sentry still deals with a ton of struggle, which holds him back greatly.
Standard Sentry at his best is still someone, who goes toe on toe with the Void. And the Void is someone, who rips gods in half, breaks all the bones in Hulks body, fights off two Sorcerer Supreme, while laughing at them. I think that was an insane showing for the Sentry. You had the Void trashing Sorcerer Supreme Loki and God of Magic Strange. They couldn't do anything to him. And then Sentry arrived and broke Voids jaw with a punch. And then shot energy beams through his head. And that's what gave Loki and Strange a fighting chance.
In my opinion the average standard Sentry is above Thanos, when he is actually trying. Above Thanos, but below Odin. But he has always that weird x-factor on his side, because he is so mysterious.
I've argued in great depth and length that Molecule Man was weakened during his fight against Sentry and not at his old best. BUT... That Molecule Man had still experienced all the molecules in the multiverse and he still didn't know what the Sentry was made of. Sentry is something new and unique. Special even. If he snapped and destroyed the universe, I wouldn't be surprised and call it PIS.
But that's just my take on it.
