Did Thanos respect Thor in Infinity War?

I doubt it. We know that Thanos respected Iron Man, but that’s because Iron Man gave everything to win, fighting as hard as he could even if all he could get was a drop of blood.

Thor, though? Thor had the power to stop Thanos’ master plan with the throw of his axe. Instead, he chose to strike Thanos in the chest so that he could gloat to him over the victory. Even Thanos understood the error, and chided him for it.

And if you think Endgame Thanos has more respect for Thor, you’d be wrong. Endgame Thanos watched Thor chop the head off of Thanos’ future self with ease.

At the time, Thor looked fit and powerful. When Thanos finally met Thor, he looked like this:

Fatter, slower, and not capable of dispatching Thanos as easily as he did before.

I don’t think Thanos has respect for warriors who allow themselves to regress so rapidly.

Thanos doesn’t respect Thor.
