Feats of Strength

[Bren]

They should illustrate that Thor is the most powerful warrior in Asgard the way they did in the comics: Have big battles between the gods and giants and have all the "normal" gods be struggling, then have Thor show up and rout the enemy forces practically single-handed. It'd be a good way of playing up Thor's pre-banishment arrogance if he acts like he knows the battles would've been lost without him and is a big jerk about it, too.

Agreed with everything here.
I can see a couple Asgardians battling with a frost giant, being bashed around a bit. Then Thor bounds past them and backhands the giant into a nearby mountainside with a massive smirk on his face, saying "and where would Asgard be if I could NOT be everywhere on the battlefield???"

Odin overhearing that should get him pretty steamed up !

 

[screams]

Instead of him spinning back in time.. just have a Superman cameo and have Thor easily dominate in a fight between the two.

Thor is one of the few non-gamma-irradiated people in the Marvel Universe who can take on the Hulk. The Thing and Juggarnaut are the only two others I can think of now. But, this is before Hulk get mad and his strength increases. The Hulk can easily lift somewhere in the 100 ton range in his more calm form. So, Thor should be able to lift around the same, maybe a little less.

 

[daderade]

Nope, Thor is actually stronger than Hulk(when not enraged) in fact, he may be MUCH stronger than a non-enraged Hulk. When he disabled Juggs force-field, he beat the snot out of him. As far as lifting? i dont think anyone besides Hulk has any feats even approaching Thor(he recently lifted Asgard)

Feats of strength in the Thor movie? I'm hoping Kenneth Branagh did his homework on Thor.

Like to see a fight sequence between Thor and say, a frost giant of immense size, that causes earthquakes that cause structures to come crumbling to the ground.

Would like to see Thor lift an object overhead of astronomical size...with ease...or better yet...to shatter that same object with one blow.

My hope is that the Thor movie raises the bar of big screen feats of strength to an entirely new level.

The Class 100 does not mean they are limited to 100 tons. It is just a scale. The Hulk almost always ends up defeating Thor because it ends up being mostly just a physical brawl.

Thor should be the strongest by far of any of the Asgardians.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, knocking over a frost giant would be solid. I'm hoping we get some Ages of Thunder-style battles with frost giants that are vicious and bloody. I want to see Mjolnir pop through at least one giant's head like we saw in that series.

If Thing's on your list then you have to include Hercules and my boy Colossus:

 

[Spidey-Quad]

Don't forget Guardian from Sh'ir empire. He's Superman like.

 

[Superhero 101]

I would like to see a huge brawl between Loki and Thor and Thor beating the **** out of him or maybe even kill him but Loki just keeps coming back alive in a new body with no scratch on him.

Maybe something like this

1. heroic

[kedrell]

Nawww, Thor should lift an entire continent which is composed of whatever his natural weakness(science, modern english, rubber hammers, etc.) is and send it into space.

 

[Stripesy Strip]

In the Norse Gods Mythology books I once read, there's this story where Thor makes a wadger with a Giant and after having defeated all the Giant had thrown at him, there was one last bet: Thor was a heavy drinker so the challenge was for him to drink whine from a cup as big as a tower. Thor laughed it off and said that would be easy. So he started drinking...and drinking...and drinking. After weeks of still being at it, a sorceress passed him by, laughing and amazed at the same time by what she was seeing. Thor was annoyed but she said to him that before the challenge was answered, the Giant came to her for her to cast a spell on Thor so that he wouldn't completly see what he was doing. She removed the spell and that's when Thor realised he wasn't reading whine from a giant cup, but it's the whole sea he was drinking!

I just hope that Marvel doesn't focus everything on Thor's hammer and storm-creating abilities and forget that Thor is supposed to be as strong as the Hulk in the comics. But - Thor's raw power will probably be downplayed in lieu of all the other aspects of his character.

It will be interesting to see how Marvel matches up Thor's strength with the Hulk's when the Avengers comes out.

 

[Webhead2006]

i doubt they would forget a simple thing like that. there is alot of knowledgable folks on board the film.

Hmm, let me guess: You're worried they are gonna pull a FOX/Silver Surfer on him, right? I doubt that'll happen.

Dude. THIS IS MARVEL! The company that created the Thor Comic books, remember? I think you could relax they will do THEIR character justice.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They certainly haven't done a very good job with Thor/Hulk fights for the past few years.

 

[Vartha]

That will change Corpy. I can't wait!!!

I just think Thor will need to show some feats of strength to establish what he's capable of.
I mean in Incredible Hulk that was covered very well in the battle on the campus.
I can't wait to see how they'll approach what Thor's capable of before the main event so to speak.

 

[Nokio]

Will it's been stated many times that Thor is in Hulk or Superman's class of strength, I haven't seen him do any amzing feats of strength in the years that I've read comics. You just never get the impression that Thor has massive strength unless you read it somewhere. His strength is to down played. Of course you can figure he's pretty strong cause he's battled the Hluk but in the Comics His strength is downplayed because Mjolinor or whatever is more focused on when he's in battle. I've never that I can recall have seen Thor use his strength the way Superman or the Hulk does.

I hope the movie focuses on that as well and not just his Hammer and weather controlling powers as the center point of his power.

 

[Anubis]

He once lifted the Midgard Serpent, which was as big as the entire planet....and wriggling.

 

[Anubis Raptor]

Thor needs to definitely show great strength. I am a big fan of "feats of strength on the silver screen". So far, the best yet has been:

Superman Returns- Superman lifts a massive body of krypton (weighing multi tons) into space.

The Incredible hulk- Rips car in half, beats abomination through the ground, and lifts a humvee like an empty cardboard box.

Hulk- Everything.

Spiderman- Stops a train and Holds an entire elevator.

 

[Gamma Burst]

Yes,Thor is one of Marvel's top guys in the strength department and they gotta show that on screen.
It would be great to see him knocking some Giants away with his hammer,for example.
