Can MCU Thanos replicate the Hulk boulder throw feat?

Yes, he can do it even easier than Hulk.

Purple dude can't even cut a tree branch in half :)

@akz: Thanos clearely overpowered Hulk on-screen though, grabbing Hulk's arms and taking them off his neck.

As for Russos/screenwriters statements, they were not consistent. I remember them saying both that Thanos is stronger than Hulk and that they're equal. The first one is perfectly consistent with what we see in the movie, the second one is not.

Yes. Unless you think Hulk has gotten stronger

Ring feat >>>> boulder feat. CHADnos still wins.

Easily

@akz: You're basing this on one guidebook statement, right? Why that would take precedence over the intent of movie creators? Because what you say is actually contradicted in the movie. E.g. compare Thanos' strength vs Iron Man - in IW Tony restrains one of Thanos arms, in EG he can match Thanos' arm while stealing the Stones. There's no difference in Thanos' strength. Plus all of his low showings (like feeling Star-Lord's punches) come from IW, not EG.

As for statements, I remember only one that said they're equal (and Thanos won due to skill) and one that Thanos is stronger.

Not a chance in hell.

Thanos need to be at least as strong as Hulk. So he can replicate the feat.

Yes obviously

He is stronger than him so yeah.

Not convinced. Thanos is more skilled and deadlier. But we’ll have to see about strength after the show.

@nn5: Power Stone amping physicals isn't just in a guidebook

Thanos hit many times harder w/Power Stone than without in Endgame. Someone who didn't even feel his blow got rekt when the Power Stone infusing him with with its power. Ronan also got an insane physical amp too to tank the Hadron Enforcer

I’m not sure, Thanos beat Hulk because he was the better fighter, not because he was stronger.

@sophisticated_ignorance: @akz: we literally saw him pry off both of Hulk's hands without much effort. We also saw the confusion on his face right during Thanos' intro scene in IW, Russos contradicted themselves as usual

@rajjarsalt: It amps striking, not necessairly Thanos' strength / durability.

When Power Stone directly touches wielder's body, it's actually other way round - it made Collector's assistant explode, gave Ronan pain before he put it in his hammer. How can it amp durability and make it weaker at the same time?

As for Thanos' strength being amped, he didn't use Power Stone most of the time as it wasn't glowing when he beat Hulk or tanked lightning. Plus make comparison of how well Iron Man did against Thanos physically - about the same in IW & EG. Also Ronan's stone was active when he got hit with Rocket's weapon IIRC. Plus I remember you got another explanation of Ronan's durability one as you said it was amped by Celestial's blood according to other guidebook statement.

Well kinda like how Mjolnir is LaT gives an amp but takes life force as well, but Power Stone is insanely unstable and its power runs free upon getting wielded - so it takes someone really strong (Collector's example was a Celestial) to wield that power, and if they can wield it, it will increase their power significantly instead of overloading them to the point of exploding like Carina

Don't know why people are bringing up the power stone when he didn't use it its pretty clear it only amps him when it's glowing which is what it was doing when Ronan was hit by rockets weapon

Happy to see Hulk finally being strong, hopefully She Hulk tv shows has more surprises.

More easily, considering that he didn't use the power stone when he directly overpowered Hulk

@rajjarsalt: Actually fair point about Mjolnir. However assuming Thanos was amped when Power Stone wasn't activated at all is a huge reach IMO when his strength doesn't change at all between IW/EG (e.g. how Iron Man did about the same, restraining Thanos' one arm both in IW & EG), vast majority of Thanos' anti-feats come from IW, etc.

Scaling wise sure. Feat wise Thanos best strength feat is lifting Hulk which he he seemed to struggle to do so no

He overpowered a stronger Hulk. Yes.

Some people just choose to ignore scaling.

He literally spread Hulk's arms in IW like he's about to do a french kiss. He's stronger than Hulk.

Yep, Thanos can rep Prof. Hulk's boulder feat.

Thanos scales to Hulk in strength as we've seen in the Infinity War's open battle.

Just gonna quote "hydrated" from the can superman rep hulks boulder throw.

"no, we've never seen him throw or lift anything close to 5 million tons lol"

He should if we apply in-universe logic

He logically should be able to.. But dies he have the feats on par..

Thanos beating Hulk is not a power stone thing.

"I would say that he's just that powerful," said Joe Russo. "You didn't see him actively use the Power Stone in the fight. I think ultimately the way we looked at that fight and the way we talked about it with our stunt team when we were executing it was Hulk is obviously very powerful but he's a little mindless in his fighting style. It's aggressive. It's pummeling. Thanos is the Genghis Khan of the universe. He's a very skilled fighter and equally as strong. So when you put those two up against each other, the more skilled fighter is going to win. Which is why Hulk has a moment where he overpowers Thanos, but ultimately Thanos is smarter."

Rule of thumb with the gauntlet is that if he doesn’t close his fist it’s not being used

Not by feats

Scaling is the way for most of MCU tho

Maybe. Thanos outskilled the Hulk, he wasn’t necessarily stronger. But their strength seemed comparable.

@ben2004: and what would happen if scaling wasnt relied upon in the MCU?

@rjr: What would happen to all verses you mean?

@darkpsychiclord_prime: yes, what would happen if scaling was disregarded?

@rjr: most stories wouldn't make sense I guess

You never see the stone glow, therefore it was never used.

Yes if we go by scaling

@rjr: rock level Thanos, car level thor etc.

Via scaling, yes. Via feats? No.

If Thanos can wail on reg Hulk then he can also preform this PH feat...

Surtur feat is far, far better than this, and Thanos overpowered that guy who did it.

Ring feat of nidavellir is also much better than this, and thanos overpowered the guy who did it.

Thanos also easily ripped apart Iron Man's Armor when the same Armor tanked a meteor hundred times bigger.

Thanos easily replicates it, maybe even better. He can throw his sword fast enough to outpace Carol with a head start.
