You're posting scans of people JUST tagging Thor as evidence of low-speed. This is idiotic. I can do the same for the Flash to the point you could make a Thing vs. Wally West thread competitive.
My point isn't to compare Thor to the Flash. Your logic is just extremely ass-backwards based on a comic book. A scan showing that Spider-Man is indeed faster than Thor makes much more sense then Thing punching Thor or Daredevil dodging a swing. The Bat Family alone.....
Also, please read the issue with the Crusader instead of just posting scans.
P.S: You're posting scans of Thor....while weakened in some instances.
The quality of content on this board has really gone down.
This shows Punisher being faster than a bolt of lightning taken at face value. Then you posted a completely different scan saying Thor only has a statement.
Walk me through your reasoning and why it's relevant. Punisher > Lightning and Thor only has -as so far as you care to look- a statement, ergo Punisher > Thor in speed? I don't want to Strawman here.
Punisher also isn't as fast as a bolt of lightning, considering that in those four panels the lightning bolt traveled what is likely miles, whereas Punisher only managed to move less than a meter. It's a hilarious scan regardless, but it doesn't actually show literal lightning speed. On the contrary, lightning is clearly much faster than Punisher.
It doesn't matter though. There are so many examples of Thor getting bamboozled by relatively slow/street level characters (often coupled with statements that he is slower than his opponent, which even in cases where Superman or Flash get tagged by street level speed this isn't typically the case, the only example I can think of that kind of fits is Deathstroke being "faster where it counts" in Identity Crisis), and what speed showings of his he does have don't even come close to what Flash or even Superman have. Thor has super speed, but only in the way Cap does the majority of the time.
To add more to direct comparisons:

^I like how that instance is similar to the Thor vs. Moongoose fight, where he explicitly says that he can't use anywhere close to his full speed in such indoor and populated areas, or he would end up destroying everything and everyone around him.
