can MCU Thor react to Bullets
I think he can, not the way DCEU WW does, but by now he has enough feats to say he has supersonic reactions.

Yes. However he can't react to MCU cap who moves at MFTL speeds.
React as in bullet time or react as in pull a Wonder Woman? Because he can bullet time, but not in the same way as Diana, Clark, Flash, Quicksilver, etc.
Kind of hard to say. Bullets are a lot smaller and harder to see when moving at fast speeds. It's kind of why flies are an annoying pain in the ass even if they aren't flying that fast. Those energy blasts are quite visible making it a lot easier to perceive and effectively block and react to them. Example being, Ironman can react and evade a tank missile just fine given enough distance since it is large enough to be seen, but even if at the same distance, I doubt he would be able to perceive a bullet whizzing at him. Tbh it's hard to really determine this, Thor theoretically and based off of feats depending on how you analyze it, should have the ability to react and block bullets, but I don't know if he can perceive a small tiny bullet as say a speedster does. He has literally punched away one of Hela's smaller swords as it was flying at him but their is a lot going on in that split second that has to be further analyzed, but this does suggest that he can at least react to things moving at a really fast speed even if they aren't bullet speed.
I'm not sure if he can perceive bullets due to how dull and small they are. Even if the energy blast's he blocked where as fast, they are also far brighter and larger.
Essentially I don't know if he could block a regular bullet but he could block a tracer round. I think they move just as fast as bullets but are bight and therefore visible.

The downplay.
Wasn't he somewhat moving in the Quicksilver slow-mo scene in Age of Ultron, with others standing still? Memory from that far back right now is not my strong suit, but I vaguely remember another argument before where it was brought up.
@theonewhopullsthestrings: No that was his hammer. Quicksilver see's his hammer moving in slow motion.
@deltahuman: QS was clearly faster though
There is no proof those blast are sonic speed, let alone Mach 2
If those blast were supersonic, it would be blur to us audience.
Faster than Thor? Yes
Faster than Handgun bullets? Probably Yes
Faster than Aircraft gunfire? You know the answer.
I mean, considering Black Panther is a bullet timer he can scale to a good portion of the MCU.
This. Thor should be able to time bullets after they've been fired, but only barely and from a certain distance.
Black Panther is the only actual legit bullet timer in the MCU films, and plenty of characters can scale off of his high end bullet timing. He litteraly sliced a bullet in three after it's been fired. Panther is most certainly faster than most, if not everyone in the MCU (excluding speedsters like Quicksilver and Yo-Yo) and that's evident by his fights with Bucky too, and while Thor doesn't exactly have much to scale from considering he never fights street levellers, he still had a small brawl with Cap and Tony in TA and both scale from Panther.
Apart from T'Challa, it's worth adding to that how his fights with Hulk demonstrate rather low level superhuman reactions. The Hulk has caught to an RPG in mid-air, which is decent enough, thought at the end of the day neither that or casual arrow timing is evidence of bullet speed.
Yes. He can react to MCU cap who moves at MFTL speeds.
This is also a reasonable analysis.
@aka_aka_aka_ak: I hope you are just asking for feats and not claiming he doesn't have above normal human reactions. I'm on my iphone right now so i can't post them.
O.T: my answer remains the same, specially after ragnarok, if his speed remains as consistent as it's been after his latest movie (being faster than Hulk, reacting to Hela's blades, etc), then he doesn't neeed feats of dodging bullets to prove he has the reactions to do so.
Yes. He can react to MCU cap who moves at MFTL speeds.
the lowballing
@anthp2000: where did you find these feats?
@anthp2000: where did you find these feats?
What feats?
@deltahuman: He seen the bullets and protected 2 people
The Quinjet uses a GAU 17/A minigun with a rate of fire which ranges between 2k-6k RPM and a muzzle velocity of 853 m/sec which is Mach 2.5 at sea level. MCU Quicksilver is not that fast and Thor is significantly slower than him. If Quicksilver were significantly faster than Mach 2.5, he could've saved Hawkeye and the kid without getting riddled by bullets.
@deltahuman: If the bullets were fired at 853 m/s that would make them mach 2.5.
The bullets would also likely encounter less air resistance because of how high they were, and QS had to cross a greater distance than the bullets did to save Hawkeye and the kid.
Oh yes, my bad. Somehow I didn't notice the m/sec unit. Thank you. I think we can agree that Quicksilver isn't faster than Mach 2.5 or a bit more. If he were any faster, he'd have gotten out of the way before the bullets hit him. Problem is, we don't know how far he was before he reached Hawkeye.
@deltahuman: No problem, I did the exact same thing just Yesterday. LOL.
No. He only has subsonic reactions around the 180mph range. That's his max of what's shown so far. None of those energy blasts were even close to .5 Mach. They were 170-180mph at best.
The only MCU character with actual fast reactions is MCU Quicksilver but his top speed is Mach 1.
@theonewhopullsthestrings: No that was his hammer. Quicksilver see's his hammer moving in slow motion.
Nope Thor does move and he's the only character who does while everyone else is holding completely still. Check this video, the timing should start right when it happens.
