I've seen people complain about Thanos being too weak in this movie and too strong.

I think he's consistent with Infinity War - he's the same level of strength he was there. And I don't think Infinity War ever indicates that he's physically stronger because he possesses the gems. They just grant him very powerful abilities he can activate (one of which is to become stronger).

That's one of the brilliant things about Infinity War; how it utilizes the gauntlet. When a gem is glowing, that means he's activated it's ability. When he opens a portal, the blue gem glows. When he turns Quill's shots and Gamoras dagger to bubbles, the red gem glows. When he needs to make himself stronger, the purple gem glows. They don't ever explain it, it's just something that occurs naturally as he uses the gauntlets powers throughout the movie and is very consistent. If no gem is glowing, I don't think he's utilizing the gauntlets power.

When he beats down the Hulk, no gems are glowing. It's just his own strength. He's not that strong because the gems are powering him up; it's because he's that strong that he can utilize the gems power with no repercussions.

Edit: damn you for making my post sooner in much less words
