    Everyone's talking about whether or not Thor is a city buster but nobody realises that Thor just survived a city busting explosion with little to no injury. (btw I'm talking about Age of Ultron ending)

    His durability is inconsistent. He was scared of falling thousands of feet below in a glass container, and was stabbed and bleeding from Loki's weapon.

    Eh, no.

    While Thor didn't want to slam into the ground at terminal velocity, the fall didn't hurt him to any real degree. Also in a realm where they have teleporting tech like the rainbow road and flying battleships, and where their foes are often made up of ice, stone, or who knows what other materials, does it take a degree in rocket science to deduce their blades are beyond Earth made knives?

    Also in Agents of Shield, a fodder Asgardian has an Earth made blade bend when he is stabbed.

    @risingbean: Exactly, he was scared. Why would he be afraid of it if his durability wasn't put in question. Obviously as evident by my comment I said Loki's weapon. That still doesn't explain why it should hurt him in the first place considering Thor is vastly above normal asgardian durability. Didn't watch AOS so I can't comment on that.

    @nerevarine_11: And Loki obviously knows what to use to harm Thor like an Asgardian dagger made from Asgardian metals designed for harming more powerful beings he can be hurt by the right weapons like what Loki use and he knows Thor well enough to know what to use.

    Yes, Thor was concerned. I'm sure it hurts to land from that height then having the cage collapse around him would suck worse. People flinch from things that either don't hurt or barely hurt. It happens. And it doesn't actually affect his consistency. For example Hulk has a tendency to shield his face when he is being shot at. It doesn't mean the bullets do damage. It just means he doesn't like being shot in the face. By your logic his being afraid of being shot means he lacks durability.

    I don't get how Loki's weapon makes Thor's durability suspect, either. It's obviously for all intents and purposes supertech. That is like saying Superman' durability is suspect because Kryptonian energy blasters hurt him when bullets don't. (well, except calibers shot from aircraft) It's comparing X to Y rather then X to X.

    Durability is perhaps Thor's most impressive physical attribute in the MCU. He's really slow, not a very good hand-to-hand combatant, and can't really lift anything heavier than a Volkswagen apparently. But he can hit pretty hard with Mjolnir and can survive an explosion that would destroy a city.

    I think his blunt force durability is good, he was clearly afraid of being shot by the jet though, he ducked and covered.

    @herewegoagain: I don't like being shot with airsoft pellets. They sting. They don't do any damage. Likely that could be the case. And it's also likely Thor's first exposure to guns was that. It might have been him taking cover to assess the situation. At any rate he was fired upon by Ultron and it's highly unlikely he didn't get shot. He wasn't damaged.

    And finally a technicality. Rounds fired from firearms actually cause blunt damage. They tear holes in people by being so small and coming with so much force. Bullets are not sharp.

    @risingbean: do you duck and cover your body like an explosion is happening though? or do you just consider them to be annoying.

    It is all speculation on my though so I will bow out of this

    @herewegoagain: If something that looks like a weapon is being aimed at me and I didn't realize it's harmless, I just may duck for cover.

    He's probably the most durable Avenger we've seen, sans maybe Hulk or Vision. He has the best durability feats.
