I trust that, given all your research and Thor-heavy background, you're best equipped to paint an accurate, OVERALL portrayal of the character?

So you don't trust the word of several people telling you it's not Odinforce Thor as well as these scans posted not mentioning anything at all about Thor amping various attributes with the Odinforce? I mean, if you don't read Thor, then, all things considered, you really shouldn't assume anything about the character insofar as him having the OF or not.
And ignoring dozens of feats and scans which illustrate his speed and trying to, in the same breath mind you, tell people they need to look at the "OVERALL" portrayal of the character when you yourself admittedly don't read Thor and as such wouldn't have an informed idea of what that would entail is...questionable, at best.
Mjolnir striking any of the stadium's pure adamantium would cause a shockwave enough to topple either Gorgon or Omega Red. OR scuffling and getting the nod from Iron Man doesn't make him an elite class 100 that some people are hyping him up to be. To say nothing of what a direct hit would do to either them.
Spinning the hammer fast enough to generate force from Thor's strength alone would also be difficult for them to overcome unless OR tries to use his tentacles to brace himself, in which case, he becomes a sitting duck for a flush strike against him.

i doubt it would be easy for thor to land a direct hit on these two

Why would it backfire on Thor? Assuming it even did, Thor's durability would allow him to endure the backlash far more than either Gorgon or Omega Red could.
Originally posted by carver9Hilarious. You're ignoring the fact that the fight actually proved that Thor underestimated Wolverine's speed. Because if Thor's words actually meant anything, they meant specifically that Wolverine was too fast for Thor to hit.
No one is saying that Thor is slow and no one is saying that Wolverine is untouchable but that comic solved a lot of issues, it answered a question for us that has been asked for years, who is faster out of Logan and Thor.Of course Thor would land licks on Wolverine, what sense would that make of him not being able to... Wolverine was just a couple of pace more faster than him reflex and outburst of speed wise.
That wasn't the first time it was stated that Wolverine was faster than Thor, it was also stated during the introduction of the comic... "how is Thor going to deal with the speed of a killer with adamantium claws".
Which is a plain falsity... because right after Thor's remarks he snatches and smacks Wolverine. Accordingly, if there is no truth to the proposition that Wolverine is too fast for Thor to hit, than Thor's comments must have invariably meant something else, i.e., that Wolverine was faster than he thought. That's it.

the properties of adamantium is unique...it may very well absorb much of the blow
and that would leave thor open to attack

Again, Thor wasn't the only one that was bringing up Thors speed during that fight. Wolverine also admitted that Thor was slow. One thing that I don't agree with that was stated throughout this thread is that Thor has peak human reflex because if that was the case, he wouldn't have touched Wolverine BUT again, to ignore Thor words in that comic is to ignore everything Thor has said throughout his history of comics.
Thor tagging Wolverine had nothing to do with speed, Thor is a fighter that is capable of finding ways to land licks in situations that is against the odds.
It should be obvious who is faster out of Thor and Wolvy, jus look at their fights against Hulk. Look at how Thor fared against Rulk and look at how Wolvy fared against Rulk, Rulk was getting blitzed throughout the entire fight.
Originally posted by carver9Rulk and Thor need only a few hits to take Wolverine out. Why would they lower themselves to fighting Wolverine in some movie kung fu footloose fashion? Guy is running around trying to slash at them helplessly, keeping out of heir range. You think they're going to chase him around when they can let him approach him? That'd be like a grown man trying to match speed with a little phucker ten year old who is running around trying to score little hits while avoiding a good slap across the jaw. Since one or two good slaps across thejaw is all that's needed.

And how do you think you're gaining traction in your arguments by bringing up fights where Wolverine gets one or two shotted?
It's one thing to try to drag Thor down to Wolverine's level. It's another to expect him to fight at his lower level. It's yet another thing entirely to hold his refusal to lower himself that way as if that were some sort of inferiority.

Who two shotted Wolvy and I don't think you get my point.
