He was literally spotless from all of Odin's blasts before Gungnir was brought out. And after getting up from running into a point blank blast from Odin, Thanos was able to hurt Odin somewhat with a blast of his own. And then they were exchanging blasts and countering each other to no advantage until Odin decided he needed Gungnir.
Seriously screw all all you overzealous skewed perspective having Odin backers. Odin did not show himself to be anything more than a certain percentage above Thanos in that fight. Certainly no big multiplier stronger. If Odin is high skyfather, Thanos was mid(ish) skyfather in that fight. But he's gotten stronger since then clearly.
How? How can you place him in the galaxy busting Skyfather Tier? Has he even destroyed a planet under his own power before? What are his best on panel feats that can compare to the annihilation of a galaxy?

You are correct; comparing Thanos feats to Odin/Surter/Seth feats is raising the bar too high...
Nevertheless, showings of durability alone dont prove Thanos is a Skyfather; although Classic Juggs is powered by a Elder God, Classic Juggs himself isnt a Skyfather...
Thanos has great damage soak...thats a fact. Now where are the extreme displays of power than couldnt/havent been accomplished by anyone else in the Trans Tier? What feats of power does Thanos have under his belt to suggest he is a Skyfather?
You remember the fight wrong as it didnt go down AT ALL as you state; go back and reread Warlock and the Infinity Watch #25...I promise you your memory of that fight is failing you.
The Odinforce is located in three different area's; a portion is located directly inslde of Odin, a portion is infused within Asgard itself, and a portion is inside all of the Asgardians...
Whenever Odin "amps" off of the land or its people, he is simply taking back the portion of the Odinforce given to it/them...so he actually isnt amping off of an external power source when he does this; he is simply taking back what is already his.
Now when he using his gear, thats external...definitely.
Using what was inside his body? Which is only a portion of the full Odinforce? Sure...definitely.
Thats all Odin was accessing; he definitely could have accessed far more and annihilated Thanos if he wanted to kill him...
Although I'd argue that Odin wasnt even fully accessing what was inside of him as he didnt assume Giant Size (not to be confused with him going into 2000ft Destroyer Mode) as he typically does against Surter...

@LOM Surtur is equal to Odin without the Twilight and Surtur is a lot bigger so it makes sense he would increase his size. After all you did say Odin usimg his gear is a sign of calling on outside help which did when using the Gungnir.
