Without the IG, Thanos is heavily outmatched. Apocalypse's forcefield has tanked far more damage than Thanos can output with physical force alone. He's got matter manipulation on an insane level. He moved pyramids with TK meaning he can manipulate hundreds of thousands of tons. He could also just mind f*ck him since he was strong enough to take over Xavier. And on the chance Thanos actually hurts him, he'll just heal from it. Apoc has to actively not fight to lose.

Doubt it, Apoc was able to see and grab Quicksilver, the one that was way faster than the MCU version. Thanos isn't even 1% of that in terms of speed.
He'd also have to make it through his forcefield to actually hit him. Quicksilver only did it because he's one of the fastest people to ever live.

What do you mean speedup shenanigans? His superhuman senses and reflexes allow him to stop even guys like Quicksilver dead in their tracks... That are his capabilities.

Apoc sped up to match Quicksilver - bad writing. He never starts a fight with that level of speed or perception. If Apoc begins with Quicksilver-level speed and perception, the fight becomes a spite thread. Why are you annoyed that he needs to be limited to keep this an actual fight?

Apoc has TK, if he lifts Thanos off the ground like S. Witch did, he's screwed. Thanos could throw his sword, but Apoc's shields or TK can stop that.The only way Thanos wins this is if his durability is strong enough to survive long run and Apoc gets tired at some point.
Characters fight in character, which means we don't control their actions. Just because a character [b]can/b] do many things doesn’t mean they'll do exactly what you want them to.
For example, I don't see Apocalypse lifting Thanos off the ground and holding him in the air like Scarlet Witch did at the start of their fight.
His forcefield is only as strong as the force it's been shown to stop or stated to stop (with clear intent for the audience). He only used it after a barrage of objects was thrown at him - he didn't open with the shield, he used telekinesis to block the projectiles first and then created a bubble field later.
Thanos is far stronger than anything that's been stopped by that shield. In a forum setting, he can break through it.
Apocalypse might still win, but it would take time since Thanos is too durable for him to reliably hurt.

He never sped up. He could perceive him and used his other abilities to tag him. He never himself moved at the same speed as Quicksilver. Nor was there any indication that he sped himself up.
Was the same with Dark Phoenix.

He was completely statued at the start. Quicksilver hit him a billion times before his perception speed adapted to Quicksilver's level. Then, in every other scene in the movie, he operated with normal human-level perception (before and after that scene).
