If you're going to call Surfer cheap for using his board and attacking Bill from behind mid-combat, then what Thor did was 10x worse . Thor threw his hammer at Surfer's back while he was talking with Odin outside of combat. That's far cheaper and It's right there in the scans.
3. There are no excuses here and never were. Thor wasn't winning nor did he pound Surfer in. It was an obvious stalemate. Surfer pleading Thor to stop fighting and showing "kindness" mid-battle is clear sign Surfer was no where near blood lusted or out to kill. In fact he acted defensive the whole fight. Near the end he did get fed-up with Thor acting like a "pompous ass" though. 😂
