now don't go getting all full of yourself. 😂 the gas wasn't specifically created for thor--least that was never mentioned--but it did daze him for an instant.
The point is that Thor can and has countered speed advantages. You keep bringing up the Mongoose scene when he have just established that there were outside factors.
true, in THAT specific instance. however, if you examine what happened, the gas doesn't really help your case all that much. i mean, seriously--all it took was a small pellet of gas to daze thor into being nearly ko'd by a speedblitz from MONGOOSE!
runner's power>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>gas pellet.
what that scene DOES show is that if runner DOES get the drop on thor, he could easily seperate him from his hammer, as mongoose did, and speedblitz him into oblivion. if his emotion power causes thor to hesitate for even a moment, a blitz from runner will end it, as a blitz from mongoose nearly did.
when they have met, mongoose whirls around thor as a blur without problems and can land 100 hits before thor lands one. thor needs to spin to create distance, but the only reason he CAN spin is because mongoose is not physically capable of doing enough damage to prevent him. runner wouldn't have that problem. mongoose got the drop on thor everytime. even spiderman made masterson look like a statue. quicksilver has also done it. cobra has done it. thor needs a wide ranging attack, and only uses it AFTER the attack is in progress to scatter his opponent. problem is, his oppenents in those cases are weak.
THAT is the difference.
can thor counter a speed-attack? sure, but always AFTER the attack. in that sense he IS vulnerable to a speedblitz. runner is so far beyond cobra, mongoose, quicksilver or spidey that it is laughable. we also have the infamous glads instance. if THEY can get the drop on him, runner can and will. but when HE hits, it's with the power of an elder of the universe and he could be gone again--and by gone, i mean LIGHTYEARS away from thor's counter.
The Runner was always in a close vicinity to Thanos. The only time he ran a great distance away, he was f*cking around or some such. And to make matters worse, Thanos was clearly able to track him.
not really, and track is not the best word for it. runner hit and was lightyears away.
facepalm That wasn’t a banishment. That was teleportation. We’ve seen Thor use lightning as a method of teleportation. He simply made it an AOE type tactic. Stop making up arbitrary limits for Thor’s abilities because you don’t like their capabilities.
😂
stop making up what isn't there, and declaring what happened cuz you say so. he said he'd 'send them back to where they came from'. thor's words, not mine. if he does THAT attack to runner, well, he won't go very far i'm afraid.
Thor has always had the ability to teleport. He doesn’t banish beings to their home dimension. He teleports them there. Looking at Thor’s long history of teleportation, at this point it’d be up to you to prove he couldn’t use it on the Runner.
🤨
you said he COULD use it. i..... can't prove a negative. 😐
his AOE is nowhere near great enough to hit runner if he's hitting and running. if he's simply pounding on thor, i don't think he would be ABLE to summon it. pretty simple. and trans-dimensional teleporation of an opponent in direct battle isn't something thor does very often. in fact, your SINGLE example is likely all there is. you can argue he teleported the demons all you'd like, but i'm not buying it. HE said he's sending them BACK, not me. nowhere does it say he could have sent them ANYWHERE, nor is it implied he could do that to just ANYONE, let alone someone as powerful as runner.
I can. If Surfer can hit the Runner with a cosmic blast:
runner knew he wouldn't be bothered by the blast. he didn't TRY and dodge.
IF the Surfer and Thanos can react to the Runner, Thor can at least make a defensive or offensive play.
react? thanos was being toyed with and STILL couldn't hit. he couldn't make a defensive play against cobra, mongoose, quicksilver, gladiator until AFTER the attacks began--why would he be able to do so against someone infinitely faster?
If he can do it while being dog piled, he can do it while Runner’s punching him.
being dog-piled by some low-level demons=being punched 1000x a second by an elder of the universe? 😐
Lulz. I bet I can name a lot more instances where Thor illustrates speed or overcomes it in comparison to the number of times you can name Thor having any trouble with speedsters.
well, i'm waiting. 😄
Another hearty lulz.
indeed.
