I'm more interested in seeing this argument play out than contributing, but the way I understand it:Thor could win virtually any fight simply by commanding his hammer to speedblitz his opponents.. He should theoretically be able to mow through even high level characters like Silver Surfer or Hulk... Hell, theoretically he could mow through speedsters from the comfort of Asgard by commanding his hammer to seek and destroy his enemies, as his hammer can teleport and act under his instructions, and he has a kind of psychic link to the hammer...
But this is something Thor simply doesn't do.. He doesn't command his hammer to blitz Hulk into oblivion. And if anyone tried arguing that Thor wins in this manner, a lot of posters would call bs, ask for examples, scans, if it's in character, or whatever...
It's basically the same deal with Martian Manhunter and a speedblitz. Yeah, he has the power to do it, but has he ever done it? Why is it allright to argue MM wins via speedblitz, but not ok to argue Thor wins via hammer blitz?
And I'm not saying whether I agree with either side, but that's where I see ODG going with this.
You said that far better than I did with my meandering posts. sneer
Unacceptable. Reported. uhuh
I'm just defending against the ridicule being heaped upon me when I ask the simple question, "Do you have a fight of J'onn's in mind when you refer to this tactic?" No, that question does not make me a troll. No, that question does not render me prejudicial against a character. I just want to see how relentless and effective this assault is so I can judge for myself whether it'd be enough to take down WBH who was completely no-selling class-100 attacks and busting planets via collateral damage (and still going).
Needless to say, I see disconnect here between being lambasted about asking for proof because, "zomg it's so obvious," and the utter refusal to simply just provide that proof. So much so, that people feel the need to move the goalposts and berate me with random asides over comics' portrayal and power-neutering-for-sake-of-plot and common sense in comics. Let's just say, I feel it's ridiculous that I'm being blamed for turning this thread into something it's not. My initial question remains, and it's on-topic. I don't think it's an unfair question and I don't think it's a stupid question. Ya'll brought it up in the first place!
