@emmafrostxmen: He doesn't need to have a feat remotely close to the star feat, infact that's the entire point of the story and his character arc. Russos opened up about depicting that task as symbolically as the labours of Hercules. The journey of the hero to be tested beyond his limits and be reborn again. The scene is full of lore metaphors tbh.
If they have to give tier power ups to even the odds against Thanos, who else better than Thor, For others to have star level feats or a power up, the Marvel writers would have to give a very elaborate reason like Stark getting alien or magical help to withstand such temparatures etc etc..
but with Thor it's simple, he's a God, he directly comes from a lineage that exhibits tremendous history of power and ability to literally destroy worlds and house infinity stones. Mjolnir Hela ages ago was implied to be more menacing and powerful than any MCU Villain till date barring dormammu..
This is the the third time Thor has resurrected from a lifeless situation, he's just written as a God who is very hard to actually kill off so it's much easier for Marvel to justify Thor doing this, and Joe Russos also stated that not many people can perform the star feat, so it makes it less of an outlier when Marvel seems to have officially given him a tier up ..in light of all the life-changing events he has been through.
Plus another important thing to add is that he said "all fathers give me strength. They already showed how the all fathers were responsible for alerting earth through the Bifrost in the same narrative, so now Marvel even has a source of justifying his powerups.
