Except he didn't when he was fighting Ebony Maw on Earth, which is what I was talking about. It's just sort of jarring when you have this ultra-powerful character who gets easily handled by a villain, and then the villain is himself easily killed with, essentially, a gag death. Seriously, he's powerful enough to handle the Sorcerer Supreme with ease, but can't survive someone blowing a hole in his space ship?
I remember Joss Whedon talking about having to make sense of an Avengers team with wildly different levels of power and being consistent about that. In this movie they just seemed to give people whatever power level was convenient to the plot at the time, regardless of consistency with prior films. It's not like it ruined the movie or anything close to it, but I noticed it.

I think it’s fine, it actually is how things are in real life. An elephant can beat a lion , a lion can beat a mouse, but a mouse can beat a elephant. It’s a “styles makes matches” thing. Even in combat sports, the greatest champions all have difficulty against perceived or weaker opponents who otherwise got destroyed by other opponents who the champ destroyed.
Ebony maw bested one brilliant mind but he himself got bested by two highly intellectual humans in Ironman and Spider-Man. If you look at it that way, I don’t think its as bad as some are making it out to be. Not all battles are won through physical strength, this was a case where brain power won.
