OK so we all know that Thor opened the eye of a Dyson sphere to allow energy from a neutron star to pass through it.

Now for those who don't know a Dyson sphere is a hypothetical structure that'd allow us to harness the output of a whole star for energy.

Thor was in a beam from a Neutron Star whose energy output in ONE SECOND is enough to run the current earth for ONE MILLION YEARS. Humans have been around for only 2 million years so that's a whopping large number.

It makes the largest Nuke ever look like an electron in terms of power output and obviously this beam would be hotter than anything any of us could ever imagine. That'd also mean Kryptonian heat vision won't even register to Thor because it'd be just like a nuisance.

However if that is true it'd mean the beam was that hot and it'd als mean the beam by just being there would melt the whole structure it was hitting. It'd vaporise it in one second and also kill Eitri who was close to it.

So what do we make of this feat?

Do we agree that Thor took something that'd make nukes look like nothing or do we agree that the writers weren't particularly thinking when they did this or is there some other alternative?

The writers were contradicting themselves and they're dumb.

The feat is both over-wanked and downplayed by nerds who care way too much about who's metaphorical fight dick is bigger.

This so called neutron star behaved or had the properties of a proper neutron star as much as a magnet you hang on the fridge compared to a Black Hole formed from a massive Supernova. It's actually laughable that the writers/directors have so little knowledge in this field that they actually let it pass on screen. Atleast try to make it believable.

If its said on the screen that someone is making a pizza but you can clearly see they are making a burger, which one is it?

Theres nothing to contradict it. Hes taken fire and multiple explosions before and has never been burned

Again... almost dying isn't feat.

@kgb725: Everything else he has taken before this is not even a billionth of what he'd have taken in a neutron star Dyson sphere.

That's why I made this thread.

@monsterstomp: It is given what he took. If we go by feats I don't see any live action character (barring dudes like Dormammu and Galactus etc.) being in that beam for even half a second. Thor not turning into Ash in just a second is something crazy. I actually argued against this feat but then I read a little more on Dyson Sphere's and realized what the feat actually is.

I wouldn't think about it so much. The writers wanted Thor to perform a godlike feat, something truly insane for him to go through in order to get a Thanos-killing weapon. In terms of battles, unless someone has a similar feat (no one does lol) then Thor has far greater energy durability than them, including heat.

Also lol at not thinking surviving a full blast from a neutron star for a prolonged time is a feat. The fact that he is not ash is a huge feat by itself. In the Brandon Routh Superman movie, he almost died lifting the Kryptonite island into space, imagine thinking that is not a strength feat because he almost died doing it.

@richubs: I disagree. And I used the argument for someone on a more human level.

Say a person got hit by a bus, and the only thing that saved him was a quick response from the ER. Is that impressive durability? A similar idea is being argued here.

@monsterstomp: Huge difference between a bus hit and this feat.

He was in that for a prolonged time and definitely not down. I think we both can agree that if he had let go after one second he would've survived and would've come out without any critical injuries right?

Because he'd have taken the full output of a neutron star in that one second.

The very fact that his body didn't turn to Ash immediately means his body can survive such energy output. Its a durability feat.

@richubs: Yes but by feats it doesnt contradict

@kgb725: That's true.

@monsterstomp: Oh come on now. Being hit by a bus is not a fair comparison. Thor’s feat was over time, and he was able to withstand it for about 30 seconds (after that he was near dead). Being hit by a bus is like a second

X

@xzone: Yeah being hit by a bus is a second. What about the minutes until the ambulance arrives? Check yourself.

@monsterstomp: If we want to make this comparable then it's a bad comparison.

If the guy had been hit by the bus and the bus had dragged him with it for a minute or so and he had received no major injuries for the first half of the minute and had only felt pain and not have snapped in half it would be comparable and would also be a great durability feat.

@richubs: That is definitely not what happened in Thor's feat. At no point did Thor take zero damage. If he did, he wouldn't have nearly died. He would have continued to take zero damage. Its obvious that the damage was progressive.

So my comparison is pretty spot on.

@monsterstomp: I said no MAJOR injuries. He was getting cooked alive and didn't sustain any major injury for the first 30 seconds.

So yeah, to make the comparison spot on the guy has to be dragged by the bus and sustain no major injuries for the first 30 seconds. Which would be very very impressive for a human.

@richubs: It was progressive damage. I don't sustain major injuries the first few seconds I touch fire either. In fact I should correct myself. Make a comparison to someone burning. As that's technically what happens. Just on a larger scale.

@monsterstomp: A human thrown in a fire and not sustaining any injuries for some time is also crazy.

And Thor was taking something that makes a nuke look like an match next to a Supernova. It's definitely a durability feat.

@richubs: Nope. Prove it.

@monsterstomp: Prove what?

The fact Thor took that much energy?

Just read the OP. You don't even know what the thread is about appparantly.

I am not even saying I think he took that much energy or that it should be considered as a feat. That's the question here.

@essem: I love your analogy. And it's correct

Not to sure what to think.

It’s impressivee, but it could be an outlier. I still don’t think he can survive a nuke point blank, but that’s just me.

I take nothing from that feat but that Thor can handle being steadily burned by something hot. That beam is not as hot as a star though, and Thor clearly can be burned by less.

This is pathetic, the show clearly says what he is going to withstand,no vaguness whatsoever. Disliking the feat or the writers won't make it go away

Finally. I've been waiting months for someone to make a discussion topic about Thor's star feat. Its about time people started talking about this overlooked feat.

ha that’s not worth responding to

X

100% legit.

Most impressive feat in MCU/DCEU.

"What to make of Thor's star feat?"

Stormbreaker obviously.

@richubs: Prove that Thor's feat should be considered feasible when the results of it was nearing death. Its a pain tolerance feat at best.

I know its not what the thread is about. I just made a claim and everyone just seems to be on it.

@jayc1324: dude...good analogy with the superman-kryptonite lifting feat.

Thor star feat thread #234

It's not really able to be calced, I believe the VFX team stated something about Purple Plasma in the star being activated.

Which of course has nothing to do with a Neutron Star, I'll still say Thor was impressive in the film though.

^^That "star" feat was an impressive showing of Thor regardless of being an actual star or not.

That feat is exactly what it seems. He tanked a neutron star blast for an amount of time. Stated so explicitly in the movie, and also out of the movie by Word of God. There's nothing more to it, no mental gymnastics needed.
