Well, at his prime at least, it's implied that Odin defeated fully-powered Surtur and reduced him to the state that we see him in at the beginning of Ragnarok. That being said, Odin towards the end of his life clearly wasn't at that level any longer, as he implied he couldn't even keep Hela contained anymore IIRC before he died.
That also being said, he might very well have some kind of dark magic teleport hax or something he could do. Hard to say though. But I personally think there was a reason Thanos only started his IG quest in earnest after a number of big players, like Ego (who himself had plans for galactic conquest and would likely wreck 2014 no-stones Thanos and his army if they were foolish enough to try and invade his planet) and the Ancient One (Wong still mentions at the end of Dr Strange that the Ancient One's presence kept a lot of powerful enemies from attacking Earth, and that news of her demise would spread and embolden them) had been taken off the board and the Asgardian ranks, including Odin, and their home had been decimated by the events of Ragnarok.

This is fiction. Lets not pretend this stuff really happened and Thanos existed and actually thought of this stuff. Writers most likely didnt think of the stuff you are saying when they wrote the script. The only thing that exists is what they were thinking when they wrote the script.

The irony and hypocrisy in your posts never fail to amuse me. You tell other people not to assume things by trying to force your personal assumption of what the case is on others. Except, unlike you, I have actually referenced specific things from the actual films in support of my argument.
And FYI, if you think that they don't plan things long in advance in the MCU, then you have not been paying attention at all. Which would explain a lot, I suppose. I mean having these things connect over a long period, and having continuity among films and an ongoing narrative established, is literally the entire point of a shared universe.

Odin has zero screen feats that would suggest he could do anything to Thanos, he does worse than Hulk did
He enchanted Mjolnir where even Hulk couldn't budge it
He casually took away Thor's power
Off screen, he trapped Hela for thousands of years using his own power.
Off screen, he defeated Surtur.

For instance you have no clue to the context of how he defeated Surtur and him de powering his asgardian son won’t work on others.

I also recall Eitri shouting at Thor about how Asgard failed to protect them from Thanos, so it's hardly conjecture that Asgard prior to it's fall managed to keep other forces throughout the universe in check.

Odin also teleported Thor to Earth, and I don't see that BFR has been removed as an option here.
