What I took from the mention of Surtur was that OF Thor was capable of surviving The flames of his essence or whatever you call it that utterly destroyed everything else. A high durability feat for him just as is tanking the destroyers full blast but when he fought bor and was 'giving it his all' so to speak he was being seriously hurt and saw bor as a serious threat to his life registering Bor's power output pretty high on the charts when compared to the other things OF Thor has shrugged off/walked away from.
you seem to be looking at it as more of a low showing for OF thors durability and less a testimony to Bor's potential strength/power output.
Which is okay but if you take that away from Bor he has literally nothing and in turn we have nothing to gauge him by. All there is, is his and OF thors assessments and their brief fight.
I didn't say anything about an opening exchange. Superman has fought with speed in the opening before. He even went intangible and everything. Again, this isn't some random joe Superman doesn't know about. Superman will bring his A game to this fight.
I didn't lowball Bor in anyway. I clearly said Superman has the power to harm Bor and to take a shot or two from him.
I don't equate energy blast durability with blunt force durability. So tanking energy blasts is not the same as tanking blunt force hits.
Can Bor harm Superman if he hit him? Yes.
Can Bor one shot Superman if he hit him? NO.
Can Superman harm Bor? Yes
Can Superman avoid Bor's attacks? Yes
You didn't prove me wrong. Not all Surtur shown in comics is operating at galaxy busting power. You also never showed where Surtur destroyed another galaxy. Statements made by Surtur isn't good evidence in the light of contradictory showings in the same panel.
Surtur has battled Thor and others and never showed Galaxy busting power against them. Someone with that type of power would not only one shot any high herald but disintegrate them instantly with a single attack.
So again, everytime we see Surtur he is not operating at Galaxy busting power. Just like everytime we see Gladiator he's not operating at planet busting power.
Just like everytime we see Superman in a comic he's not operating at planet lifting/moving power.
