@logicbomb:
You counter my 'Speculation' with your own speculation Lol nice.
Exactly. As easily as you can argue that Thor should've/would've done something if he were x level I can argue that he may not have for logical reasons using my own speculation. The point is that speculation is far from exact and does not take precedence over feats, so I'm not sure why you're hammering this point.
Fact is Thor didnt because he couldnt, period. They failed to deal with a subnuke level threat and relied on human weaponry to get the job done. The best his lightning could manage was push a couple of Leviathans back into the portal and maybe destroy 1.
We again find the same issue with speculation going both ways. For 1 how do you even know that the nuke used in that scene was an ordinary nuke? It was confirmed earlier in this film SHIELD was building nukes from the tesseract. Furthermore when Fury justified making new WMD's he directly sited the fact that Thor/The Destroyer showed them that they were "hopelessly/hilariously outgunned". As in current WMD's aren't at the level needed to combat them. Fury made it painfully obvious that the world powers didn't consider themselves to be anywhere near the power level of Thor/The destroyer without developing new WMD.
This flies completely in the face of your entire narrative while having far more narrative evidence baking it. Still I rarely ever bring it up in debates as its ultimately still not concrete feats or clear indisputable statements. But if we're just talking about general portrayal Thor is and has always been portrayed above nuke level.
What I'm also curious about is why you think that Thor's lightning needs to be anywhere near nuke level to kill everyone here easily?
IM knew what was up there when he guided the nuke, logic dictates that Thor knew as well.
It's been a minute since I watched Avengers but I don't actually think this is accurate. Tony had to send the missile somewhere as the nuke was already fired at New York and would have killed all the civilians there. There's no safe place for him to put the nuke in a reasonable amount of time. He may have guessed that firing it at the Chitarui's home base would be a good idea but it doesn't mean that he new it would work.
I'm fine with highballing Thors lighting to being able to kill a leviathan.
IDK if your just speaking very hyperbolically to sound cool but its not highballing to rate Thor's lightning at the level of doing something it quite literally did onscreen given that it has no anti feats at all.
A level of attack that poses no threat to HM AS and Fate considering they tanked Black Adam's rage blast.
What about that was impressive again?
