The max-8 has 28,000 lb thrust.
I call that a steady increase in thrust, with a steady increase in pitch up moment, when applying full power at low speeds. Besides, the Bournemouth incident, where a 737 pitched up to 47 degrees, demonstrated that even the NG series had more thrust-pitch moment than the elevator had aerodynamic pitch moment, when at slow speeds.
