Its actually not even confirmed that he can deflect Thors lightning. Only IMs repulsors. I know Thor amped IM, but it was still repulsors shots being fired at Thanos, not lightning.They really needed a scene to justify them fighting up close though against a guy stronger than Hulk, a better warrior than Thor, with a sword as strong as Mjolnir or Stormbreaker.
Part of the reason I'm not a big fan of Endgame is because of the dumb choreography. Ironman is far more of a ranged fighter than he is a melee fighter, yet he only fires one or two blasts against Thanos then jumps right in after him.
Thor is even worse. He's already encountered Thanos before so he knows just how strong he is, even watched him beat up Hulk. Yet he never shoots him with lightning in Endgame but instead engages him in melee?
At least Captain America was smart enough to use whatever ranged attacks he had available to him, and we can see from Wanda's fight that Thanos has no answer for ranged attacks.
