FF and Thanos don't have a real history. A small one, yes, in which Reed Richards only had a cameo and stuff like that, but the story was mostly all about Thanos.
So we just ignore his feats ?
Reed >>> Thanos. Accept this.

Reed was involved in a major crossover in which Thanos was a heavy hitter not himself. Reed shines when Thanos isn't there. When Thanos is there Reed sits down and takes notes.
We don't ignore comparisons and feats are fine they just don't matter when comparing. Sorry about your luck, kiddo.
Yes, Reed had a small, unimportant role in some crossovers. Just like I said. Your point being ?
When somebody needs a Big Brain, they don't go to Tony, or the High Evolutionary, or Thanos.
No, they go to Reed.
Reed is considered the smartest of the Marvel Universe, not Thanos.

Only when the story is about Thanos and nothing else.

Reed can't even undertsand the concept of magic, it close but Thanos edges it as the Reeds first instinct won't be to kill Thanos only to stop him, Thanos on the other hand will go to annihilate then from the get go
When the chips are down in an Infinity Something story, Thanos always makes sure makes sure Reed is around just in case, by having some contrived and silly reason for getting earth's heroes involved - "Err... let's get those earth heroes involved again... you know, like that Reed Richards guy.... err.. in case we need like a diversion..."
When the chips are down in an FF story, Thanos isn't mentioned or needed.
When Thanos prepped and faced Galactus he was left begging and crying.
When Reed faced Galactus he designed a machine that depowered Galactus into a human and it took him about 10 minutes without prep.
And let's not forget, when Sue got annoyed with Thanos she knocked him out in about 5 seconds. A Council of Reeds comes with a whole bunch of Sues!
Really though, Pym and Amadeus Cho are also both smarter than Thanos these days. Probably Valeria Richards as well.
