Revelation34 posted...

In the comics yes, but not the gimped movie version.

You've said this twice, but we've literally seen nothing in the film that would demonstrate that.

Thanos in the film has the full Gauntlet for all of a few seconds before he uses it to snap half the universe away, and then he never uses it again because he's already achieved his goal. Yes, he seems to wound himself in the process and the glove itself gets damaged, but we have no real indication that the Gauntlet ISN'T capable of far, far more than what he actually uses it for. Presumably, if he'd waited to become more accustomed to the full power and potential of the Gauntlet before using is (and presumably, if he didn't have an axe in his chest at the time), he could have done far, far more than what he did. Given time, he might even have come up with a more elegant solution to the problem, rather than just trying to murder it away.

If anything, they're limiting how much it's used because it's harder to establish its power level in an interesting way in a short movie versus multiple issues of a comic book, but they still really haven't established any upper limit on what it's capable of. This may become more of an issue in the next film, but as-is, there's really nothing in the film that says it's any less powerful than the one in the comic.
