I think Thor was getting worn out, but remember, he also had to fight Loki, and got surprise stabbed, too.

"God" just means hes like a Norse legend/higher powered being. It doesnt mean hes unstoppable or rules the universe. He still has to fight things and has weakness against certain life forms. If he was a "God" he would just win everything by himself, that is, as we know totally stupid when youre watching super hero movies.
I agree with what you are saying though even then you are still butchering the mean of the word god. When people think god they keep thinking of the All powerful Judeo Christian god/Islamic/Aramaic God in Monotheist religions. Polytheist gods from actually real world religions and mythologies aren't all powerful to beings. They have tiers of power with in there own religions. For instants in Greek mythology the Furries are more powerful than Zues. In Norse mythology the gods live and die. In some mythologies there are gods weak enough for a humans to beat up, trap, or kill.
Wow
I did not know this about Greek mythology.
Now I wanna see Liam Neesons fight a guy in a fluffy fox costume
He just is. I mean compare him to Thor from the comics or even the show, and you're seeing completely different portrayals. Thor is a freaking demigod that exudes power and authority and commands it when he has to, but I don't get that from him in the MCU. It's like they're scared to show how powerful he truly is. People give MOS *****, but I'll give them this; they showed you why Superman is Superman. To see his true power and even the others like Zod and Farora in action was mindblowing! That is what I want to see from Thor and the Asgardians alike. Like the fight with him and Iron Man....let's be real Thor should've been owning Iron Man without breaking a sweat, but of course they have to stroke Tony's ego ugh. I mean they did show his sheer strength when he started cracking IM armor, but still true to form it wouldn't been much of a fight. They need to let THOR BE GREAT and not paint him like a Twilight love sick alien or something. That annoys me the most. And they wonder why Loki steals the show, it's simple; he's much more intriguing and focused than Thor at the moment.
Why should he be more powerful? As a viewer, it'd be incredibly boring to watch if he could destroy an opponent with a few hammer strikes. It's the same as Superman, while he is incredibly strong and hard to knock out, it's not as fun as a Batman fight because you know Superman is pretty much indestructible and way too powerful to relate to.
Unless it's just supposed to be a badass moment, as opposed to a dramatic moment, your protagonist shouldn't completely dominate whatever conflict they're faced with.
All in all, it doesn't matter how powerful Thor is because the threats that the Avengers should be fighting should be pushing everyone to their limits, and instead of Thor just god-modding his way through challenges, should probably be thinking on his feet, and using those more abstract powers that some are rooting for (like portals and whatnot).
.
Yes severely underpowered and misrepresented.
Thor is still the strongest Hero in the MCU at the moment. I believe if Thor wanted he could've killed Hulk on the Helicarrier in Avengers.
I've come up with a couple theories about how the MCU people use Thor's power.
-Yes, MCU Thor is just as powerful as his comic book counterpart. However if he were to always display such amazing godlike strength there wouldn't really be that much need for the Avengers.
-If Thor went all out he'd straight up kill all the normal human villains they face and I don't think he or atleast his Avenger comrades(especially Cap) would be happy with that.
-They save Thor's true strength for the big moments like when he's facing world ending threats 1v1 imagije him going full out facing a Chitauri soldier. Not a long fight eh? Now imagine him doing it against an Odin Force powered Loki or Surtur or even Thanos. That would be a great way to show Thor's true strength.
It's either one of those or MCU Thor just isn't as strong as comic Thor.
Yeah right,
I guess he let Hulk throw him around like a rag doll until the fighter pilot bailed him out!
Watch the end of the fight scene, Hulk wasn't breaking a sweat.
Mjölnir;31051869 said:I think you take it too far in the other direction. Hulk slams Thor once and then throws him away. That's the first part Hulk had any control in the fight since sucker punching Thor when the latter tried to reason with him so not really an indication of Thor needing to be bailed out. Hulk didn't make a scratch on Thor.
I don't think Thor could just decide to end the fight if he wanted, they proved to be back and forth in a fairly equal manner in that fight, but Hulk was raging and Thor was obviously not using all his powers and did still see Hulk as an ally (which might be why he started grappling with him, as he's never done that otherwise).
