Just saw the movie.
I thought it flowed well and was fun. 9/10
My favorite scene was the nuke bit and when banner turns to hulk saying he is always angry and punches the giant serpent ship.
As far as the fight between Thor and hulk goes...
I am going to call it how I saw it, no bias. And please call me out on it if you see it.
Firstly marvel seriously upped Hulk’s power.
Durability wise (he became high calibre level bullet proof, and explosive projectile proof at the least) and strength wise class 50 imo.
Hulk landed a glancing blow on widow. Was he going to kill her before Thor intervened probably not, he had some control ,that’s why he didn’t crush the pilot when he grabbed him, that is why he diverted his fall.
When his fist pounded Thor, Thor caught it and resisted it, unable to match hulk’s crushing force he tried to resist with two hands and still being forced down. Hulk seemed a significant amount stronger (If hulk was a 50 tonner I would put Thor as a 30-35 tonner and IM as 15-20 tonner and CA 1-2 tonner).
From what I saw Thor’s punches were significant enough to stagger/even stun/phase the hulk but not enough to seriously hurt him.
As logic would dictate using Mjolnr as a combat/melee weapon was far more effective. Hulk definitely looked rocked after the head strike but not enough to be put down mind you.
Was Thor holding back? Strength wise ‘hell no’!
As he said I don’t want to hurt you banner he was in a ‘mercy’ kind of grappling match. No one in a mercy kind of match would be using say only 50% of his full strength.
Was it a proper mercy match? no , to be fair the cirmustances of the strength test between the two in this scene was awkward for both parties. Neither’s hands were gripped in a true mercy fashion.
Was Thor holding back? Power wise ,sure , he didn’t do any energy strikes so yes.
The superconductor building amping thor?
NO,it was just a high strategic point, used for military advantage simple as.
Thor took down 2 of those big serpent ships whereas hulk, as badass as his single punch was took down only one, did IM help defeat that same one with that missile he fired at it after hulk brough it down, no imo as hulk had it beat with that punch I think that missile just added icing to the cake and stopped it from flattening the others.
Thor in this movie is significantly more powerful. And pretty durable. Was it implied that he would not survive that fall (30000 ft was it not), they should have shown him survive that and be bullet proof at least.
Hulk seemed stronger and more durable (it seemed his durability wasn’t taxed to the point of him requiring his HF).Sure he was bleeding at one point but that was after dozens of the chitari had pinned him down with a nonstop barrage of missiles .Even then he seemed fine.
Does this hulk get stronger as he gets madder, I didn’t hear this referenced in the movie.
All in all hulk seemed substantially stronger,and Thor substantially more powerful.
But we all knew that.They fall into the needed roles for the team,strength guy and power guy respectively.
It was a fine movie with good funny moments. Too bad about Coulson.
