@nemesisreloaded:
Fans of all things look at actions that occur in unreasonable ways and get upset because they get told they're being unreasonable. That's all that's happening.
Well of course this can be said about any character from all and every medium, but that isn't just what is happening here. You have certain users who make it their life long goal to trash-talk certain characters and just lowball them into the gutter. It's sad how obvious it is, and quite pathetic. For every 5 mid-high end feat you provide for Thor, they will bring a low showing and stick to that in an attempt to discredit the high ones.
For the record, I already answered this question - I think she'd lose against the Avengers. The only reason Thor's power is being debated is because it directly relates to the question of whether or not Wonder Woman could beat him. Overstating MCU Thor's power as a city buster is just people seeing what they want see.
Point me to where people are claiming Thor is a city buster here. Ain't this a thread about Ares and Thor.
Those same people will happily ignore that the explosion happened within a giant clump of rock, that the rock will have taken the brunt of the force and that Thor and IronMan were both in relatively similar positions when the rock exploded.
So it's not just a matter of people digging at Thor for no reason. When fans are being this unreasonable about what happens in a story, they should be told. If they dont listen because they buried their heads in the sand, is it really that surprising that they'd get told again, or even mocked?
*sigh*
Thor fans are getting frustrated, not because they're wrong(they very well might be) but because the reason is entirely subjective, but people try to pass it off as fact.
If you could give an adequate explanation as to how
Thor could be said to be at the epicentre of the explosion - even though that was within the rock itself and Thor was not;
The explosion originated from Thor's position:
You literally see buildings start disintegrating at the top all around Thor as soon as he landed the hit. Thor was the catalyst, how people try to prove the explosion didn't originate from his position is mind boggling when it's right in front of them.
or how Thor is a city buster, even though it was explicitly stated in the movie by Stark that the Vibranium core was holding the rock together which is why he and Thor attack it;
And what does any of the prove? What if I told you that the event could be interpreted in multiple ways because of how unclear it all was, and how there is no empirical way of concluding what happened exactly?
Which is why I find it silly when people try to "debunk" it with their own narratives.
Typical argument 1.
"Thor attacked the Vibranium which caused the explosion/the Vibranium exploded"
DCEU fans: "Yes definitely, that's what happened."
Except the Vibranium was still intact after the fact.
Typical argument 2:
"Vibranium absorbs and deflects energy, all Thor had to do was overload it"
DCEU fans: "Oh Lordy Lord Amen Hallelujah Preach it brother"
Even though Vibranium was never explained to have those properties.
Typical argument 3:
"Iron Man capped the end and Thor hit the Vibranium with enough energy to destroy the rock as it doubled back through the Vibranium."
DCEU fans: BLASPHEMY!
The list goes on, but I'm sure you get the gist and hopefully you can understand how/why people get frustrated with it.
or how the explosive force that destroyed the floating island somehow mostly was not dispersed into the rock that surrounded it, but instead was focused on Thor, even though explosive forces spread out in every direction and are reduced the further they spread;
I'm sure people are getting mixed up because the explosion originated from Thor's position so people will think he is absorbing all of the force.
If you could explain at least those three things in a reasonable way, I would listen. But it hasn't been done, and I'm guessing it wont be. There's a reason for that.
The reason is differing opinions. One side refuses to acknowledge the other while having strong beliefs that their opinion should be the way to go, no other way. Hence mayhem.
