Rage it's not a strength feat per se, what it does illustrate is how easily Thanos has in that situation and others dismissed Thor with ease. Thor has NEVER done so to Thanos. Yet people are claiming Thor is stronger than Thanos. If this were true, he'd have situations of him manhandling Thanos or tossing him aside or something. Yet there is nothing like that. That was the point.
It's no more of a showing of strength superiority than the scenes I posted. Less so actually. As long as we have that clear, you can argue whatever you like bro. All he managed was to inconvenience Thor.
Who's claiming that? And we don't have any scenes of Thanos manhandling Thor for the record. Nor do we have any scenes of Thor proving to be convincingly stronger than Thanos. The closest we have to the latter would be scenes from the Infinity Gauntlet.

Unless I'm wrong didn't Thanos and Classic Drax destroy a world merely by going at it hand to hand? Thanos won that fight and in his rage Drax destroyed a nearby star or something right?
So Thanos PHYSICALLY overpowered a guy that can tear a star in two with his bare hands. And this was before any powerups from Death no?

No.
They both destroyed a planet. It was a shared feat. Also, they didn't destroy the planet directly. They created an instability in the planet causing the planet to destroy itself under its own power. Thus the feat was less than destroying half a planet for Thanos. Not impressive whatsoever.
Tearing the core of a star out is a weak strength feat (more a durability feat). Assuming one can grab on to star material then it would be easy to tear it apart. All you have to do if overcome its gravity which is far less than you think. Hell, tearing carbonadium coils apart or secondary adamantium is a much better feat or destroying a planet with a couple of blows is better.
Lastly, I never seen Thanos overpower Drax physically.
Well the fact is, the two of them going at it was the cause of the planetary instability. At the end it was Thanos that was left standing, not Drax. Also I've never seen Thor fighting anyone that caused him to destroy an entire planet. Either directly or indirectly. I'll be glad to be be proven wrong if you can come up with scans.
The star feat is stupendous. Again, unless I'm wrong, a star's gravitational pull is several times that of a planet. Overcoming this and tearing it apart is nothing to sneeze at (hell it's the sun's gravitational pull that keeps all the planets in their place and stops them from flying off into the void). Thanos PHYSICALLY overpowered a guy that tore a star in half. Let me see a comparable feat by Thor.

It feat is in Thanos respect thread. The narration explains how the planet blows up. The feat only proves that Thanos is more durable than Drax (not stronger).
And I never seen Thanos overpower Drax physically.
The star feat is rather strange. It's just so impossible that we must say that Drax used more than physical strength (energy manipulation maybe?). With two little hands, how can one grab the core of a star? Wouldn't it be like vapor in your hands? Wouldn't it be like trying to grab a beach but only coming up with a hand full of sand? Maybe he grabbed a little and flew with it at such a violent speed it tore a rip through the star. This is like flying through something and leaving a rip through it. Since Pressure=Force/Area then he basically cut the star by merely flying through it. I mean a star is mostly hydrogen gas.
Nothing to really grab on solidly. And assuming you can grab it then you can only take a handful with you. That is why I said the gravational forces are less than what you think.
I would say escaping black holes or holding them is far greater as the gravitational pull is near infinite (if not infinite).
In summary, the feat is unquantifiable. Thor has unquantifiable feats too involving overcoming infinite force. As do Superman as well.
There are levels of stupid. Something can be stupid but still in the realm of suspension of disbelief. Other things are so far beyond the realm of suspension of disbelief (very stupid) that we just say IMPOSSIBLE or UNCLEAR.
I don't bring up the infinite feats that Superman has since they are IMPOSSIBLE and totally unquantifiable. I only bring up the feats where it is in the realm of calculable.
Containing a singularity is not as silly as the Drax feat. But I didn't use it as you say. I only mentioned as to show other characters have silly feats that trump what Drax did proving that Thanos is not the strongest out there.
