@kryptonianking88:
1. you're comparing Hela's healing to Thor's and thus equating them as near equals which is false, their regeneration is far apart, whenever Thor gets a cut or bleeds it doesn't go away for an atleast an hour (in plot like TDW). Hela's disappears the same second. They are miles apart. The stab wounds you mentioned were still bleeding out and wearing down Thor, he was still hurt but in his awakened mode he continued fighting it didn't seem to bother him. Being a warrior with 1000 years experience it may not be the first time he's fought through pain.
2. Thanos is fast but him dodging Mjolnir and all that wasn't because he can move his body as fast as Mjolnir it's because of his presence of mind skill and reaction time he can easily read Thor launching it at him. It's much harder for him to react to the type of spamming that was done to the Valkyries or Asgard soldiers.
Hela's larger blades, like the one she used to break the giant palace door are worse for Thanos, he's got his blade but just remember when he had to deal with 2 huge rocks thrown by Wanda he lost his footing and blade for a second, imagine that but with continuous spamming.
She can also spam Shields, yes Thor easily broke it with a punch in the Bifrost but that was still a small shield and she was nowhere near her peak strength, it was the beginning of the film.
3. Thor's non lightning punches when he was clearly holding back manage to stagger and push back The Hulk, his first ever simple jab to Hulk spun him around. Thor had noo reason to hold back against Hela and his full swing punches did jack shit to her it was like getting jabbed by a UFC fighter. It only tilted her head back a bit.
4. Her strength also seems to be in the same tier. Thanos couldn't plunge axe into Thor with one hand so he switched to two, in their end tussle too Thor brought Thanos down to his knee when he was trying to defend with the strength of only one arm.
Even Hela has managed to do the same in their tussle with Gungir. She can manhandle him with one arm but she was doing it so effortlessly even being able to talk without signs stress in her voice.
I agree that breaking Mjolnir may not have much to do with her muscle strength but to me she still has one of the best strength feats in the MCU. She crushed Asgardian Armor and neck casually with her palm in under a second. To do it to either one is a great feat, but doing both together with an irritated look on her face is most impressive.
5. Her getting K.Od by Thor's lightning briefly isn't a bad feat, Thor reawakened is 10 times more dangerous than otherwise. this is a pattern which is followed by the filmmakers whenever they show Thor reawkakening his powers. There's always something extraordinary because they are trying to depict a God. whether it be summoning a tornado that can lift the destroyer, a blast that kills 100 outriders or a big ass lightning bolt.
Plus you have to consider that Valkrie says to Thor : "Hela's powers draw from Asgard, just like yours" so that indeed might be a level of lightning bolt that Thor may never be able to replicate again, and definately nothing close to the one Thanos got hit with.
Speed and skill and luck are the factors that will grant either Thanos or Hela the win, I don't see Thanos clearing out Asgard's army the way Hela did. His speed and skill isn't that much greater than Hela's to negate her powers and durability and regen.
