Even if it was heavy, the fact that he had absolute control over the metal of the entire bridge, and that the bridge wasn't fighting back, makes this feat easier than containing THor. It's all about leverage. Magneto holding up the bridge was like him having a thousand hands to hold up the bridge.Thor only has metal on his arms (and a few discs on his torso). Magneto will only be able to control those metallic parts ,not Thor's entire body. It would be like trying to carry a table by only pinching it from the corner.
But even if he was able to hold down Thor... Thor will then put his considerable strength against his armor, at which point he'll probably tear through his armor... unless you will claim that his armor is stronger than him.
Besides, there's still the point that Thor can just will his armor away anyway. So all this "holding THor in his armor" debate should just stop and we should just concentrate on debating whether Magneto can beat Thor without him controlling Thor in armor.
The entire GGB isn't made of metal(I live about 10-12 miles form the GGB), it has shit loads of concrete and asphalt. The towers are concrete for one. But that is irrelevant, as Thor's armor having less mass means Magneto can concentrate his 1,600,000,000+ lbs of manipulating ability/force to a smaller area. eg he could just concentrate all his power on Thor's gauntlet(s) and watch Thor try and struggle to out-wrestle more power than he's ever faced before while laughing. Imagine someone tying a ton of weight to your wrist, you're not going anywhere.
The metal on Thor's body is spread out evenly enough where he could easily lock him down and then crush. LoL, Thor's not tearing through his armor. The point of wearing armor is that it's stronger/more durable than you.
Thor "willing" his armor away has never been shown of proven. At the best he needs to raise Mjolnir and call down his power to make himself naked. As seen when he called down hi armor.
No, we should concentrate of that fact that the Thor buddies keep BSing or dodging the fact that Thor doesn't have a single strength feat that shows he could begin to out-power even half the grip Magneto will put on his ass. Still waiting. While I'm waiting, I'll add that Magneto could use part of his power to lock down Thor and then start smashing and crushing him with metals from the building they're in, should be need more than the armor.
