While it doesn't really matter he also has a different motivation. Not that it makes him stronger but more dangerous. I think the MCU will be playing on that some. He's going to go bat crazy to avenge his family after the snapture most are assuming. One of those scenarios where it's tough to beat a guy willing to risk it all and feels he has nothing to lose.
Again, he's not more powerful but I guess a more dangerous version of the character.

If you have nothing to lose, you are absolutely more dangerous. Reason being is there's nothing subliminally holding you back. You'd be willing to take a shot that could be 50:50 chance of being fatal to your target or yourself. Because if you die... who gives a shit? You've already lost everything. That's the logic behind it, at least.

I was just going to write a third post explaining the very easy to understand concept of "nothing to lose."
If you have nothing to lose, wouldn't that mean you have everything to gain, and therefore should take extra care that nothing happens to you because things are actually starting to look up for you?

it means you have nothing. no prospects for the future. nothing that can be taken away from you. nothing you care about. except revenge. its basically Drax's story arch in GoTG1 and how far did that get him?

How can a person really have "nothing left to lose?" I mean, there is regret, sanity, memory, empathy, self control, physical ableness, arms, legs, peni.
He could be maimed, have his memory erased of his loved ones, of himself, lose bladder control, and stuck in a bed nearly catatonic.
Even from there, he would lose conscious.. but that would be gaining a mercy. so I feel at that point you have a catch-22.

Yep, I mean Thanos is on a different planet and he has a Bow and arrows, but he still has that small chance! Useless hero is useless.

Yeah but he's dual-wielding them which means they're useless.

so i randomly came across an article that reminded me that when eitri made Stormbreaker for Thor, he said he could use it to open the bifrost. i'm really hoping thor uses that in endgame to really decimate someone. i mean, even open up a small bifrost and teleport thanos' entire arm (including the gauntlet) somewhere else. i'm sure that's NOT going to happen... or maybe use it to teleport thanos' entire army out into the middle of a black hole or something... then thor needs to just look at banner and calmly say "Most. Powerful. Avenger." and THAT'S what brings the hulk out (because hulk has nothing to lose).

I felt like they only mentioned that it could/gave it the ability to open the bifrost was so Thor making it to earth in time for the final battle made sense in the context of the timing of events in the movie.
