This a good feat build up for a paladin?
Making a 2 handed vanilla paladin, but i dont really know what feats to take. Str 17, dex 12, con 15, cha 20

1 Weapon Focus Earthbreaker (This will be my weapon, regardless of build i just want a giant hammer to smash skulls with)
2 Power Attack
3 Cornugon Smash
4 Intimidating Prowess
5 Dazzling Display
6 Wings/Dreadful Carnage
7 Wings/Dreadful Carnage
8 ?
9 ?
10 ---- (since i hear nobody really gets over 18.)

There are WAY to many feats to read through the all. I want to make a 2handed i smash your face in paladin kind of a guy. Is this a good feat path? What other good options are there for consideration?

I would dip in some fighter levels and, perhaps, a few deliverer levels as well.
Also, i would go str 20 and cha 17 instead, and get to cha 18 at level 4

lvl 20 is doable with the DLC extra dungeon or if you turn of xp for unused sidekicks.

odd stats don't do you any good. shift to get all even stats. Most of the items that buff them come in 2s, and even ticks give the +1s.
20 cha is just too much. drop that down to 16 and let items pull it back up over 20.

feats..
teamwork,outflank to hit helps later on as stuff gets more and more and more AC
improved critical?
greater vital strike path?
extra lay on hands? (which can be expended for other things?)
any defenses ... armor specialty or dodge or more saves of some type feats?

2h fighter gets a ton of feats, and you get dex up from armor (eg +3 ac dex in full plates) and a bonus to 2h weapon class, and such. You lose paladin smite/spells/lay on hands. 2 levels of fighter nets you 2 or 3 more feats, I forget.

deliverer is a sub type of slayer. Slayers are a type of fighter with sneak attacks.

I mean i dont know what to do with the feats i have available for paladin alone, going fighter for more feats only makes it worse lol.

More feats is ALWAYS a good thing....Also, speaking about fighter feats, you cannot really go wrong. Get weapon focus, superior weapon focus, weapon specialization if you can.
I suggest deliverer as well mostly for the devoted zeal thing.
If you decide to go slayer, you could also consider 1 level of vivisectionist for the mutagens and 1 more d6 of sneak attack.
If you decide to go this route, also take ''acomplished sneak attacker''

Add Outflank. Can match with Combat Reflexes. Also can take Skill Focus (Persuasion) but that's for high difficulties where u need to max your intimidate.
Also add Blind Fight. I'd even take it early since missing on concealed pigs spiders and fey is not fun. If you still have moar can go to Finishing Cleave but imo it's meh.
There's also Improved Crit, will save u an enhancement point from weapon bond.

Get extra benefit from flanking and get/generate AoOs from critical hits.
