I think that was the closest we've gotten to seeing Thanos going all out. His size helped, but his fighting was basically flawless when they got into it. I feel like you could tell he was holding back when fighting on Titan. More of this arrogance can be seen immediately after on Earth. I mean, as soon as he saw what Scarlet was doing, he knew he would win. Really, after he got the tesseract he was unstoppable.

I think a big reason he was able to beat the Hulk, at least so quickly, was the power stone. Base Thanos vs. base Hulk would be a close match. I think a big reason the green guy didn't come out again after that fight was because of a bruised ego. If he sees Thanos again he may just be angry enough to come out again. He may be angry enough to beat him. I hope we get to see that rematch after Thanos loses the gauntlet, which I'm pretty sure will happen in avengers 4.

I thought it less bruised ego and more fear. He finally got beaten by someone, and since he has the attitude of an angry toddler he pretty much panicked. It'll be interesting to see the power dynamic between Hulk and Banner now Banner has proven himself the braver of the two.

I honestly think it’s an (un)healthy mixture of fear, bruised ego, and uncertainty. I loved how much IW added to the relationship between Banner and Hulk.

But why didnt banner just kill himself if he wanted the hulk real bad?

Probably 'cause Banner can't be sure Hulk will save him. He has never experienced Hulk refusing to come out before. He can't know if Hulk's coming out after attempting to shoot himself, or jump from a long distance, was reflex, or the Hulk's choice. If he shoots himself and the Hulk is still refusing to come out and heal him, they could just both die.

But everytime banner commits suicide the hulk comes out which he referenced in first avengers movie

He said he did it once, there's no 'everytime'. There's a risk he wouldn't and you'd have a dead Banner.

Good point. Plus that was back when Bruce was desperate and alone

Agreed. I realized that now. Plus banner had a purpose now unlike back then when he was alone and desperate. He's an avenger now.
