Wow! What a 25 page read. We have several people who don't understand characters or how movies work. Also, how many times do people have to say the same thing??? I skipped most of those post cause I already read them the first time.
I guess I am going to start with Thor first. He is an Asgardian God of Thunder. His power is 'magical' in nature. It even states that Mjolnir wasn't his source of power so when he lost his hammer and realized the power was in him, what you call awakened, it wasn't a power up, it was just his natural power. That is just how powerful he is. When he gets Stormbreaker, it isn't a power up. It literally states in the movie he needed a weapon to contend with the Infinity Stones. That's what it was created for. Better than Mjolnir and more powerful but still nothing to do with his own power. Also magical in nature which is how it helped him recover. NEVER once does Thor stomp Thanos. Thanos literally just fought half the avengers and not only added the mind stone to the gauntlet but created the loop of power of all 6 stones when Thor surprised him with a blast of lightning. Then he threw his axe. Thanos obviously thought the stones would take out the axe and Thor but clearly it doesn't, so the axe sticks in his chest. If you are saying that Carol fought a weakened Thanos then by that logic so did Thor. Fat Thor is not a weaker Thor just because he is out of shape since his power is magical in Nature. I might concede that he's a little slower agility wise but that's about it. I saw Love & Thunder and yes, he got back in shape in the beginning but that didn't make him more powerful. Just look better. There is nothing in the movie that suggest he got more powerful. As a matter of fact it kind of seems like Jane was just as powerful as he was which to me would seem like a step backward for him but I don't like that idea. I have my own idea on Jane's power level but I'll keep that to myself.
Now for Captain Marvel. I understand that the MCU and comics are different, but her main ability in the comics is to absorb energy and use it to amp her physical stats or create the photon blasts. They specifically say she absorbed the 'light speed engine' when it exploded or essentially power of the space stone. Since they can't use the mutant angle they made that the way she got her power. Unfortunately nowhere through the movie do they explain that she absorbs energy or can go binary so I feel like when she starts to glow is when she accesses more power. Thusly, she can choose how much power she uses in her blasts which is why they seem inconsistent. I would love to say she absorbed the infinity stones power to amp her more but there is zero evidence that backs that claim up for now.
Whether you like it or not, Thanos was a threat, a big threat, and Captain Marvel did extremely better against him than Thor did. Everything points to that. If you want to say that she absorbed the energy from the gauntlet in order to no sell that headbutt then you HAVE to agree that she would absorb any lightning that Thor would throw out because 1 it is energy and 2 there is NOW WAY that his lightning is as powerful as an infinity stone.
For the one shot Stormbreaker idea, I am not discounting it at all, however, Captain Marvel DID grab a kree sword when swung at her and then break it. It's probably not as powerful, obviously, but it does show that she could possibly do the same with SB. There is zero evidence that suggest she couldn't. We haven't seen enough of either instance to say otherwise.
As for other posts that I've seen, you have to realize these are movies and they want specific things to happen regardless of what they may mean in terms of battles on comicvine. For instance, Captain America used Mjolnir JUST AS WELL AS THOR EVER HAS after just picking it up when Thor has wielded it for centuries. I mean seriously, if you don't understand that that was because they wanted the viewers and Cap fans to finally get the worthy cap scene they had been dying for since Thor was introduced, then there is no help for you. There is no way he's is going to be just as powerful AND know how to use the hammer almost better than Thor in a matter of seconds AS WELL AS combining the hammer and shield together in an awesome combo. I mean really??
In conclusion, my opinion is that Captain Marvel would eventually win. Thor has a lot more experience in combat and a weapon that potentially could win it for him, but overall, Captain Marvel has better showings across the board. It is in NO WAY a stomp either way though and the winner would be extremely injured.
