Oh my, yes, you are biased towards Thor big time.
Is Hercules in your mind also a speedster? As far as I know he isn't.
In Thor #400 he and Thor arm-wrestled and were considered as equals. During Thor: Blood Oath they fought again and Thor was not using Mjolnir. Hercules outskilled him in the end and Thor was not able to break free. He was nearly going to past out and then cheated to win (hi @ Lightning Bolt).
When Sentry attacked Hercules, he wasn't even really trying, since he tried to reason with Hercules, who was BFR'ing him with throws. He also should be able to do something like that, because Hercules is skilled. He has centuries of fighting experience, while Sentry does not.
When Sentry finally bullrushed Hercules into the ground and punched him once, Hercules managed to block the punch, but yet had to support it with his other hand and it really, really looked like he was struggeling, so he too had to cheat, since strenght alone was clearly not on his side. He kicked Sentry into the balls and ran away.
What does this prove? And these are facts my friend, not fanboy-biasm towards anyone:
1. You talk like Thor has some awesome movement, which he has not, yet he is only as fast as Hercules in a fight, who is not superfast.
2. Thor then starts to lose the fight, since he is not using Mjolnir, which could give him extra advantages, in a fight where it's about skill.
3. Sentry too has the disadvantage when it comes to skill, since Hercules IS skill, yet he seems to be the superior one when it comes to the strenght, since Hercules struggels and cheats.
4. Sentry destroys Ares, HE DESTROYS ARES during the Siege of Asgard, since his speed and strenght are simply too much for Ares, who is still skilled enough to land one single blow.
5. And now ask yourself how Ares did back then against Thor and Hercules, even though he is physically way beneath them.
And everything Ares ever managed to do in their fights, was because he too is very skilled and not superfast or something.
No matter how much you want it... Thor CAN NOT move at lightspeed, and right now I'm not talking about traveling speed, which he only can reach thanks to Mjolnir.
Having better reactions then ordinary peak human is nice and so on and it's something experienced Gods should have and they also do, but that's still not enough to compete with people who have superspeed as a part of their powerset: Gladiator, Silver Surfer, Sentry and so on.
It's a difference if you can think, react and move at super high velocities, or if you only have strenght and because of that strenght you can move your arm fast in 360° or something what Thor would do when he would be spinning Mjolnir.
Spider-Man's and Wolverines speed > Thor, LOL!
Oh my, yes oh my, entertain me with a weird reply to this one, "DARTH POWER".
