Hey, if it makes you sleep better at night, then sure, he was amped.
Just acknowledge that the amp wouldn't have come from an outside source and was Thor simply tapping into more of his strength.
There was a reason why we saw the Valkyrie lead Thor further down a stairwell of darkness in his mind.

... or Drax wasn't really so much beaten, but more stunned with a sharp blow into coughing up the Power Gem. He wasn't laid out unconscious and half-dead. The Infinity Watch just knew to run away once Thor grabbed the Power Gem.
This "Thor was amped in Blood and Thunder" myth is grating.

True.
But some of them have "world of cardboard syndrome". In Supermans case, he's outright been quoted saying he's fallen into the habit of pulling his punches, early in his career against the first post crisis rendition of Bizarro. Perhaps Thor fans can point out similar quotes....
I know Siege: What If implied Thor only uses around a third of his strength, but obviously that's not canon.. But the issue must have gotten the idea from somewhere canon.

Originally posted by Rage.Of.OlympusThis happens all the time where characters get hit, we don't see them for pages, then when we do they are back in the fight meaning they weren't defeated. Drax wasn't defeated at this point.
He was down on the ground at Thor's feet. Seemingly out of it. We didn't even see him for a few pages. I'm assuming he was down for those pages as even when we do finally see him on panel, his being lifted up by Maxam and his eyes look shut etc.Anyways, I have to go to sleep. Later.
