Thor isn't anywhere close to lightspeed reflexes. He has feats of flying and reacting but when it comes to actually showcase those "FTL" reflexes, he chokes and burns.

Yes, lol. Abhi and the Thorcorps (mostly Rage.Of.Olympus) butt heads in Comic v.s. a lot, this is Thor's latest low showing so he posted it, I guess. It's worth mentioning that Thor's explicitly weak here from another fight, mentioned on panel in the comic preceeding.
There's something of a Supes v.s. Thor rivalry and stuff. Putting the two in a thread together near always results in lulz.

They do. The heralds don't fight with the speed though. Much like in the case of Hulk.
Not really. I can post much worse low showings for Thor. This isn't a low showing for Thor though. Its how he consistently operates against speedsters like Wolverine, Spider-Man etc.
And yes he was weakened. But she was specified to be faster than him regardless of weakness.

Jobbing would be outpaced by normal humans like Cobra or Daredevil or Captain America or random mooks but getting outpaced by Spidey and Wolverine isn't.
At one point Cobra was invisible to Thor when his speed was doubled. Daredevil danced around him. He said that Captain America was faster than him. Has stated that Balder is faster than him who is marginally faster than Spidey.
If you don't know about something, its better not to talk about it. I've probably read more Thor comics than you've seen Thor scans.
Basically the drastically lowballed CBR/FactPile version of Thor, mkay
And then there's those times he's fought ****ers like Gladiator, Surfer, Beta Ray Bill (who has nigh identical capabilities and powersets, and has fought Stardust at FTL speed) and various other herald tiers on equal footing,
inb4 "I don't like it so it didn't happen", "It doesn't happen every time so it doesn't count", "prove they were using their max speed in every fight or it's not allowed" or "low ends are valid too!"

Nah, I'm talking about comics Thor. KMC FTL Thor doesn't exists in comics.
In speed? Gotta love to see that fight. Gladiator is the only one who can boast to have actual superspeed in that group and he once matched Thor while Thor was amped in speed like a million times.
None of that. Or do you think everyone Superman or Flash fight have FTL reflexes too? Captain America once managed to react to a ship going .2 times as fast as light. OMG, Cap is SUPER-DUPER-MEGA-FAST!!

No, we take averages. Unless you just ignore everything but highest feats from respect thread. If Thor was so fast that he could fight Gladiator to even footing in speed, how is Gladiator stalemating Thor in speed when Thor is amped to a huge degree in speed?
FYI, Thor was affected by a time dilation effect which made him faster than anybody on that world to the point entire weeks passed for Gladiator when it was only a few hours for Thor. Thor should've blitzed Gladiator then, right? And that is from Walt Simmonson, universally regarded as the quintessential Thor writer.
