Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason

it's logically ok but when I use "than" tend to compare the same subjects. like friends to friends not friends to enemies

Tom is “taller” than Mery is (“tall”).
But in the present case, they are not coreferential with each other (friends and enemies), so I think both of them must be explicitly expressed.
⚪︎This door is “taller” than that desk is “wide”.
×This door is “taller” than that desk is (“wide”).
Or do you mean the clauses before and after “than” can hardly have different complements?
