Hey, new guy here. Love the discussions so i decided to share my thoughts on the whole Thor, Hulk thing. Based on what we've seen over the past few years in both the animated and film properties, it is clear Marvel has decided to make hulk the standard for physical strength in the Marvel Film Universe.
Firstly, I think it is unrealistic to expect Thor to go fist to fist with the hulk and hold his own. He is clearly not as physically strong as the Hulk. He is strong for sure but he's not on the hulks level. His main power is Mjolnir and using it's power (Throwing it, lightning etc.) he can battle hulk to a reasonable standstill which is what i expect in the film. Many will say "but Thor's a God!", but he isn't in the films. Odin said the Asgardians have fallen into mans myth and legends, and Fandral commented that earthlings worshiped Thor, "As a God". They are basically an Alien race who is far more technologically advanced, physically stronger than humans, and have a knowledge of magic.
Finally, making the hulk physically stronger than Thor gives the characters better balance. Thor can fly, is strong and has cool Storm powers. Hulk's main "shtick", as someone pointed out earlier, is his immeasurable strength through rage. No Army can stand against him much less one man. That's why Tony's trump card when verbally sparing with Loki was "We have a Hulk". Granted Hulk wasn't as powerful in TIH as he was in Ang Lee's Hulk but i think that will change in the Avengers.
Hulk's stronger, Thor's more powerful...that's how it goes.
If I was facing an army I'd still rather have a guy that is super strong, can create storms, fly, and has a mystical hammer over a monster that just has a high level of super strength.
I'm not "down talking Hulk or anything", I'm just saying a tornado and lightning strikes could take out larger groups of troops than punching and throwing things.
yeah in all fairness, for battle tactics, iron man, war machine and iron man can take out multiple foes while the hulk still deals with a few.
neither of the hulk films have shown him capable of dealing with multiple adversaries well
which is something not everyone can do. when did you take out two tanks and two helicopters the last time?but all he actually did was take out two tanks and two helicopters when you look at it
this is the worst stance to take in a discussion ever.which is something not everyone can do. when did you take out two tanks and two helicopters the last time?
oh, sorry. I always forget to use emoticons. no, I don't participate in this discussion (because, honestly, I don't care), I just found the JUST in "just two tanks and two helicopters" funny and went for a cheap joke.this is the worst stance to take in a discussion ever.
but if you insist, oh yeah, i took out four tanks, 7 helicopters and a nuclear weapon for breakfast.

i still took out a nuke this morning and saved all reality twice todayoh, sorry. I always forget to use emoticons. no, I don't participate in this discussion (because, honestly, I don't care), I just found the JUST in "just two tanks and two helicopters" funny and went for a cheap joke.
human cannon fodder isn't a feat
and whoop, he wrecked a couple of jeeps and took out one chopper. Ang's hulk recked a whole row of cars and cracked teh street just by hitting the ground.
the evidence wasn't skipped, it still is a meek regression
edit
i apologise, it was four tanks, i thought a couple of the ones which got damaged were re-damaged
It's just the general hate the 2nd movie has received for some strange reason. I mean The first movie was all right, but I felt like I was watching the 1960's comic book Hulk come to life.
In the 2nd movie I felt like I was watching something closer to today's comics Hulk. A little more grounded in reality. At least he didn't bite the head off a missle and spit it back at the helicopter....
i agree with darthmagic, the way i see it, you can keep saying thor's a "god" but he was worshipped as one, i'd rather see him like he's portrayed in the MCU, a being from a different realm. not necessarily a GOD. like i doubt he's buletproof for example. and like darth said, he has more all around, but in terms of strength, i'd side with the hulk![]()
No, it was *four* tanks.

And in TIH, he took out a whole goddam *company* of troops, plus at least half a dozen Hummers, and a chopper.

"Hulk was stripped of all those potential skills in TIH and almost regressed him back to a hulk fromt he tv show...."
What film did you see?
Because you *clearly* skipped over the campus battle in TIH completely.
